Robin@jcrabapple that’s exactly what a friend said to me last night. I was spending time with family. Now I have to watch myself, thank you
Giselle's very old account@Chimaera @jcrabapple It is a really, really good speech. I think it will be quoted in times to come. I reckon people will want to watch it more than once.
Suz Korbel@jcrabapple I’m ready for Minority Leader #HakeemJeffries to hold strong against the Red for two years. This speech, including the alphabetical alliteration, was the treat I needed after so many vexing days.
@billclassified@SuzanSA great stuff
(((JaneinNJ)))@jcrabapple Hakeem is great. But will he and the Dems be able to accomplish anything in this house? Will they be able to do their part to save our democracy?
Eddie D@jcrabapple inspiring and in stark contrast to the other party. Well done!
Chiplucy@jcrabapple Jefferies alpha list should become a required group chant at the start of every congressional meeting. It might serve as a better reminder of Congress's purpose than other rituals presently performed at the start of meetings.
MARGARET D@Carol533 @jcrabapple I love this idea
@jcrabapple Thank you so much for posting this. I have been so disgusted with the whole process in the House that I would not have sought this out on my own. It was just the inspiration I needed.
@jcrabapple
I LOVED his speech! So good (how does he memorise a speech this long and well delivered? I couldn't do that). Fab fab quotes: the Constitution over cult; governance over gaslighting; and my partilar FAVOURITE: maturity over Maro Lago!
We believe in the peaceful transfer of power (as he gets ready to hand the gavel over. There's the proof.)
Absolutely brilliant:
"And the d in Democrat stands for deliver!" Woohoo!!
You tell 'em!!!
