“I’ve made clear from the very beginning that our top priority is going to be to drive down the high cost of living,” the House minority leader said on Fox News Sunday.
Jeffries is going to purposefully rehash his Biden years, just like his Israeli paymasters want.
Why would he want to hold his employer accountable?
Hakeem, it’s called multitasking, like when you take AIPAC and corporate money at the same time. Do both you fuckwad.
Wow. The dems have won mere days ago, and hakeem is already caving to the gop
Hakeem is the GOP. Dems did not win.
He didn’t even give people time to enjoy the fantasy.
Consequences for whats been done IS THE ONLY reason this blue “wave” happened.
Get even? It’s about applying the law and justice system to everyone equally.
He needs to fuck right off.
Hakeem is worthless. Nobody cares what he thinks.
I want every single ICE agent to spend the rest of their lives running on a hamster wheel for 16 hours a day to generate free electricity for the grid more than I want to be able to afford food again
They are both beholden to Israël and Israeli funds. They have no interest in doing the bidding for the American people, never have.
They need to be replaced by people with morals and who cannot being bought cheaply by an authoritarian regime that promotes genocide.
Who expects laws being upheld by a legislative body? Preposterous, they’re elected to illicit bribes, insider trade, and fundraise.
Translation: he’s a no balls having weak little toadie. “Oh no, we have to focus on economic stability” by catering to the oligarchy party. Guess who made the economy this shit?
Then finding a new speaker of the house is a priority you useless turd.
I already messaged my rep to not vote for this asshole as Speaker of the House. I suggest you all do the same.
That’s it, the fight ain’t over yet.
Holding criminals liable for their criminal activity is not “getting even”.
Impeaching Trump won’t do that. I mean, with a Dem-led senate, there would at least be a trial, but they’d need at least 10 GOP senators to remove, and that won’t happen.
Impeaching Hegseth? Clarence Thomas? Aileen Cannon? Go for it. Still probably won’t happen, but those are all people more vulnerable to the shame of impeachment. They might even resign.
There’s a lot of criminal activity to expose among people who can actually be indicted and convicted. People who might testify after Trump’s get-out-of-trial-free card expires, but most importantly, people who can now be made to stop hurting the country.
I’d still rather see them use War Powers over Iran and close ICE concentration camps than put Elon Musk in jail, if it came down to a choice, but I think they can do all three.
I think enough republicans are seeing the writing on the wall that getting ten of them to side with Dems on impeachment/removal might not be entirely outside of the realm of possibility…
They need to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that he’s a pedophile to get enough support to actually remove him from office. With both houses, maybe there’s a shot they can force the unredacted Epstein files to be released, but we’ll see.
In other words, release the epstien files.
Yeah, pretty much
If only there was a Democrat president who had access to the full unredacted Epstein evidence and could have directed his DOJ to go after the criminals with the evidence therein!
Not necessarily sticking up for biden, but the documents were sealed, held up in court at the time, and they thought they’d have more time.
Then the pedophile used the release of the files in his campaign trail… which he never really did, to no one intelligent’s surprise.
If only you knew what “sealed court documents as part of an ongoing investigation” meant.
Literally. I called that that spineless shit would lead us right back to Trump in 24, but did anyone listen? Noooooooo of course not. We needed someone “electable”
Why do they need 10 reds to do that? I thought they just needed 60% of the senate, and democrats have 54
They need 2/3’s. So 67 i guess
To be pedantic, they need 2/3 of those in attendance. So if EVERYONE shows up that’s 67, but Senators often don’t all show up. This year alone there were 3 senators that missed more than 10% of all days in session (with varying justifiability).
Ohh
AIPAC Shakur never fails to show us who owns him. Capitalists and Israel.
Giving Jeffries the surname “Shakur” is an insult to the Shakur family. Look them up. The name is a political statement.
It is wrong to call him that and a bigger insult to Shakur family, but jefferies is purely performative politics.
Yes, and people calling him AIPAC Shakur are displaying their ignorance of the black power movement and honestly it’s just gross
I looked it up.
Shakur means thankful in Arabic according to the internet.
AIPAC Shakur is a perfectly fitting name for Jeffries. It shows that he’s thankful and politically motivated by AIPAC because he has been bribed.
Also, it’s weird to claim that a single family owns a word and therefore everyone using that word is insulting someone.
I suggest you look up virtue signaling, vicarious offense-taking, and white knighting.
So you missed the entire history of the contemporary black American Shakur family, where the name was adopted by Black Panther James Coston as part of his conversion to Islam after Malcolm X’s assassination? Where that others in the Panthers choose to adopt that name for themselves as a sign of solidarity, respect, and commitment to black liberation? Where Tupac’s mother changed her name for this reason, and changed her son’s name as well.
The only thing linking Jeffries’s moniker and the Shakur family name is that AIPAC and Tupac end in the same three letters. It both assigns a very specific radical revolutionary name to an opponent, which in and of itself is disrespectful to the name and the family, but then does so simply because Jeffries is black, because none of the white people in Congress that take money from AIPAC are called “AIPAC Shakur”.
There’s really not a single legitimate reason to use the moniker, and there are at least 2 reasons not to.
To be clear, Jeffries deserve an insult. Using Shakur as part of the insult is insulting to the Shakurs. Jeffries has not earned that name.
So only the definition that you prefer is valid. Not the actual meaning of the word.
Who gets to decide what words mean?
Do you also get bent out of shape when someone says Uncle Tom? Is that not insulting to historical Toms? This is your argument.
Maybe wait for the family to tell people that they are offended instead of you pretending to be offended for them.
-
Virtue signaling – Expressing outrage to demonstrate one’s moral superiority or social awareness.
-
Vicarious offense-taking – Taking offense on behalf of someone else, particularly when that person isn’t offended.
-
Manufactured outrage – Deliberately pretending to be offended to create controversy.
only the definition that you prefer is valid. Not the actual meaning of the word
So the meaning of a word is how it’s used. This case with Jefferies, the meaning of the word is “famous black man like Tupac”. That’s the meaning. We know this because the person assigning it to him is not speaking in Arabic, and not applying the same moniker to white people.
So even in that basis alone, the moniker may as well be “AIPAC Blackman”. Because that’s literally the extent of thought being put into it.
The problem is that Tupac’s name is not just some accident of history. It is a deliberate choice. Therefore it comes with meaning.
Meaning is constructed. It’s not something found in a dictionary, it’s a participatory process.
This is true for plenty of other names: Hitler, Trump, Gandhi, etc. Imagine calling JD Vance’s wife “A Hot Ma Gandhi”. Not only is it offensive simply by virtue of the dehumanization that comes from decontextualizing a name based on ethnicity or race and just applying a famous name of one member of that community to another (like calling all Chinese people Lee or Ching), but it’s ALSO applying a name with the baggage if honor to a person who doesn’t deserve that honor.
I wouldn’t be offended on behalf of the Gandhi family. I would just find it offensive and ignorant.
This is like that. I am not upset on behalf of the Shakur’s, I am upset as me, because it’s an ignorant and offensive name for all of these reasons. And you defending it is a lot like the good old boys saying “what are you some kind of Indian lover? If they don’t like it let them come tell me to my face that they don’t like it”. It’s not a good look
You do go through so much effort to be offended.
You’re really trying hard to twist something that isn’t meant to be a racial insult into one.
Jeffries likes to rap in public events so the AIPAC Shakur is more directly making fun of his sold out nature plus making fun of how bad of a rapper he is. As in, he’s a fake Tupac.

Sure but they were very clear with this message throughout the campaign.
The usa do not have the institutions for real accountability
Trump will pardon everybody.
Even if you get an impeachment and conviction, Vance will pardon him and everybody.
You’ll have to wait until Ds win presidency to hold them criminally accountable. Better to investigate and make a case in my opinion.
U.S. Const. art. II, § 2, cl. 1
“The President […] shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.”
I don’t disagree that dems will need more control to hold the fash accountable, but in the case of impeachment he cannot be pardoned.
