If we've learned anything from the impeachment so far it is that the United States of America is not its armies. It isn't its grand marble buildings and flags. It isn't its soil, or even its constitution. The United States of America is the premise that the people are in charge, and that the people want what is right and abhor what is wrong. It is a simple idea that has illuminated the globe. Even when we were terrible stewards of that idea, we turned to it just as in the cold of winter we turn our faces to the sun. Now Mitch McConnell will work to overturn that premise. Mitch McConnell wants you to believe that you are powerless. McConell wants you to accept what is wrong out of your feelings of powerlessness. McConnell and Trump want you to buy the lie that the modern world is complex and "right and wrong" is old-timey bullshit. They want you to think that the power belongs to the pompous and self-important. McConnell's defense of the President will boil down to this perverted idea of the United States. I hope we are not to ground down by cynicism to believe it. I hope we all know the truth. And that the truth becomes imbeded on our hearts and our heads. And above all, I hope the truth spurs us to defeat every Republican at every level of government and banish McConnell's perversions now and forever.

presidentpence.com is stupid. It was put up by Bill Kristol who somehow really does think of himself as the last principled conservative. It is dumb but if it gets under…

Let's face it - John Roberts is a fucking loser. He isn't going to see that this is a fair trial. If anything he is a stand in for the empty-headed media seeking shame "balance" and false equivalencies in place of justice. The only way to impeach Trump is to impeach every Republican running for every office everywhere. Have you picked the races you are going to use to impeach Trump yet? Have you committed your time and money to impeaching Trump here in Delaware by removing his support structure? If you want justice, work to impeach Trump in November by helping elect Eric Morrison. If you want a national government that isn't a dumpster fire, work to elect Madinah Wilson-Anton here in Delaware. If you want to hurt Trump, help Larry Lambert. Let your door knocking for Marie Pinkney be your vote to impeach Trump. No savior is going to rise in the Senate. The House Dems have done all they can do. Now it is our job to get to the finish line and remove the stain of Trump from Delaware in every office and every district.

The podcast I don't listen to very often is from the House Dem Caucus.  [Full disclosure - I listened once and it was nothing more than the House Dem Caucus…
