Andy Kim and Adam Schiff are heroic public servants who deserve praise for defending our Democracy. Lauren McFerrin and Joshua Didleberg will protect workers from DOGE fascism. Just like Trump's first term, government workers, regulators, and the judiciary!

Four more candidates to add to the preemptive pardon list.

Wait a sec... Wouldn't it require a 2/3 majority to *remove* the disability, i.e. allow him to take office, so that if they *fail* to get a 2/3 majority *allowing* him to take office, then... he's barred?

So beautiful the words that our Vice President spoke to the children. And, dammit, she would have been a very good President!

There is still potentially an option for the Senate to try to block Trump. Although SCOTUS rejected the attempt of Colorado and two other states to block him, the decision leaves the congressional option available. It would require a 2/3 vote. In the Colorado case, facts show that Trump aided, abetted and gave comfort to insurrectionists.

I don't expect this to happen, but.......https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/23pdf/23-719_19m2.pdfs

Section 3

No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

Especially since he now has 34 felony convictions against him as a private person.

Yes, he does. He's also banned from over 30 countries. He'll have to request special permission to enter. Orange nitwit is outsmarted and outpaced by thinking individuals. And, everyone he's surrounding himself with has the same lack of character and integrity he has.

Trump is so stupid he doesn't believe his picks aren't "loyal." TS has already begun to hit TF. They'll run loops around his dumb a** and he'll have no true allies to come to his defense.

The dude is a first-class rogue goof. Everything he touches withers and dies. He's in a snakepit and his choices are snakes of the most vile and toxic variety. These next four years will be anything but a walk in the park for the convicted felon.

😢 Seriously, how did we elect Trump again? We could have had a wonderful caring president? Watching this I'm once again heartbroken 💔. We really messed this up.

Watching Kamala speak to the boys I got tearful and a lump in my throat. Such a beautiful time for the senator and his family. Thank you Kamala Harris for being such a strong , kind and family oriented government official. We will forever admire and support you.

Andy Kim was my Congressman for 8 years. Great dad, representative and Lego master. Put together with Cory Booker, NJ's Senate delegation is in excellent hands.

For anyone who is unsure that we are involved in a class war, I recommend the documentary, "The Grab." I found it on Hulu. The billionaires are making war on us behind closed doors and tall fences, never doubt it.

I don’t doubt it. We’re in the fight of our lives.

I wonder if Trump will dare to swear to protect the Constitution? How could he when he's already spoken against it and directed an insurrection.

The only thing he will swear to protect is his own ass!

God bless both these men. They have their hands full with those republicans. Every time I see Kamala Harris I’m so proud to have voted for her! She would have made a great leader. Until next time .
