Political Pundits

Today especially, the day after the verdict, really not knowing as a country if this ordeal we have just been through has been enough of a shock to the system.

I do hope that people step forward and understand that nobody can do everything but everybody can do something. You can do things like help pass the George Floyd Justice and Accountability Act.

The jury in the Derek Chauvin trial came to a unanimous and unequivocal verdict this afternoon. Please don`t hurt us.

There hasn`t been a huge change in the statutory guidelines for how policing works and what it is. Certainly, nothing at the federal level, although there are bills on the table.

It was last May that Derek Chauvin murdered George Floyd as bystanders looked on in horror. And of course, in the aftermath of that, we`ve seen this enormous cultural-political reckoning with the underlying systems of racism and oppression…

The gatekeepers on Twitter become literally hysterical if you use the term replacement, if you suggest the Democratic Party is trying to replace the current electorate, the voters now casting ballots, with new people, more obedient voters…

I`m joined now by Pennsylvania Congresswoman and former impeachment manager Madeleine Dean and Washington Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal.

You can’t do that. Discrimination by the government using tax code or regulation or anything else as punishment or coercion for protected speech or political activity is explicitly not allowed in first amendment jurisprudence for good…

The officer who shot and killed Daunte Wright was arrested and charged with second degree manslaughter.

Republicans clearly just made up an award to make Donald Trump happy.

Donald Trump loves to use the Republican Party for what he wants and he fundraises off of them, and he makes money off of them.

The Republican Party is extremely unpopular. But these senators are saying they only care about protecting Republican senators, not Republican voters.

I find it hard to believe him when he says that he`s for a bill that would actually change that and make their lives better, because, if you were for it, you would pass it.

Now, Democrats in Washington are looking to put a stop to that with the For the People Act, which would expand voting rights, reduce the influence of money in politics, and limit partisan gerrymandering.

While Republicans whine about Dr. Seuss, baseball, Mr. Potato Head and Coca-Cola, they`re ignoring the existential threat the party is facing in the near future.

They knew they were going to get shellacked by the Democrats in 2006.

Donald Trump lied about campaign fundraising from the beginning to the end of his political career.

This thing you just mentioned on the vaccine, this is now going to be a public health problem.

I think it`s disingenuous for all these evangelicals to pretend like they care about theology or morality, when what they really care about is power.

Florida Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene and the other QAnon congressmen, supposedly, you guys care about child sex trafficking.

Why not flood a state that is currently a hot spot for transmission with more vaccines?

Let`s be very clear. If this law had been in existence in November of 2020, Donald Trump would have won Georgia, and Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff would not now be members of the Senate.

The culture wars are now about culture. They’re about keeping right wing Christians engaged and voting Republican.

It’s purely performative, an effort to inspire their dejected Trumpy voters to stick with the program by promising to hurt the people they fear, just the way Trump did.
