Absolutely correct. Only a few dems understand the current situation for what it is and what it portends. I'd say an Adam Schiff understands the issue as does a Jamie Raskin. My own Michigan reps are too busy being coopted by The Problem Solvers Caucus in the House, and letting Manchin and Sinema have their way. My own senators are too mealy mouthed to speak up. Everyone is seeking to be nice. The gop is not nice. I don't even use the word republican any longer because there are only a few of those left. All hands on deck for sure, and not just to look at the scenery along the coastline.

I think I can say at least one of my senators, Mark Warner, is taking it seriously. I receive emails from him regularly talking about what you say here, TC, but in his words! I'm pretty sure Tim Kaine is on board, too, but I don't hear from him as often as I do Warner. McAuliffe (Democratic candidate for governor, election this coming November) is constantly reminding people that his opponent is in "bed" with Loser 45. Early voting starts tomorrow, September 17. I'll be voting sometime next week. We do have a Democrat majority in our General Assembly, thankfully!

I’m reading along and all of a sudden there is your “TA-WHEE…TA-WHEE in caps and I about jumped out of the

bed and saluted. It reminded me of my dad yelling up the stairs at the 7 of us kids trying to sleep in for an extra minute on the weekend….”SOO-EEEE (like he was herding the cows back into the barn on the farm)….GET YOUR ASSES OUT OF BED!”

Hmmmm. This might be the way to catapult the Dems out of their BarcaLoungers.

One more thing. If only Governor Newsome knew how to talk. Democracy is not a football - it is an antique vase? Really! Someone needs to take him aside and school him or at the least write his "off the cuff remarks" as it is obvious he doesn't know what the hell he's talking about.

Speechless 😵‍💫

Pretty terrifying, isn’t it? As we face the near term extinction, we face too, the further events of the insurrection. And the purchase of senators who could make a difference. You rock, TC.

But elections will not be held today, TC. Dems still have time to get their message across and talk trash about the GOP. They've gotta get moving though.

We keep thinking that Lucy will hold the football in place this time......(or that she will never drop the "vase", to use the metaphor of the moment!) It is beginning to feel like Groundhog Day!
