All 47 Senate Democrats have signed a resolution condemning Trump’s decision to pardon Jan. 6 defendants who assaulted Capitol police officers, saying the move invites future political violence.

I HEARBY RESOLVE that the Dems in Congress look like worthless shills. They brought a knife to a gunfight, & it appears to be a butter knife. Republicans are artists @ obstruction. Dems need to retaliate in kind. Sue every EO & don’t allow ANY bill through the Senate. #FightBackDammit!
Impeach him for firing all the IGs.
He violated the law.
Impeach him for his birthright citizenship EO, he violated his "oath" to "preserve and defend the Constitution"
Impeach him for breathing...I don't care!
As a life long democrat, these 47 make me sick. Boy that will make a difference. How about getting a set D’s??? F cooperating in advance. Fight like you mean it.
File articles of impeachment daily and loudly for the next 2 years. He has already broken hundreds of laws and has shut down the government.
This will draw attention ( resolutions mean nothing).
This will slow them down and formally expose all the damage he is doing. Fight the fascists!
Oh no, harsh language with zero actual repercussions. This is what current Dem leadership thinks we want? This is fine to do but an actual united party on any and all things is what we expected and we just see capitulation. So weak.
Will Democrats ever learn the game of messaging? Shouldn’t they be flooding the zone with this? If it was the reverse, all everyone would be talking about is this. Republicans are bringing bazooka and Democrats are still playing with flintlock rifles.
Big F’ing deal. A piece of paper that says they disagree with him. Does absolutely nothing.Get some backbones and start running your mouths on news channels telling Americans who aren’t online what this clown is really doing. Stop sugar coating everything. The time to play nice is long gone.
Plz tell them (in whatever language octogenarians understd) that the general public, which largely ignores politics, doesn't search out / read Senate resolutions.
If they want to reach people, get on TV, podcasts & all the social media platforms. And
I can’t imagine anything being more deserving of impeachment than releasing insurrectionists and cop killers from jail, but I guess we need to pace ourselves?
Stupid strongly worded letters don't do a Fucking thing to save Democracy or marginalized citizens. I'm done with these twat waffles. THEY ARE THE REASON WE'RE IN THIS MESS by NOT Codifying human rights!
Drumpy might as well have them over for dinner & sex trafficking.
This is utterly USELESS! Why have Dems, save a very few, abandoned their duty to the citizens of the USA? Why aren't they filing impeachment complaints one right after the other for every illegal action/overreach he takes?! WTF are they doing besides capitulating to a tyrant with inaction?!
Oh good a resolution. What exactly did that accomplish? Until they actually do ANYTHING to stop the further corruption of our country by the orange one and the GOP they are doing NOTHING. Passing a resolution to act like they are doing anything. It’s like clacking you keyboard when the boss is near
I cannot believe how mild they are being! It's infuriating! All the pieces for a 100% authoritarian/ US facistic state is being moved into place, and dems keep schtum. Wtf?!
They should all file for restraining orders against them as they’re all at risk. As they are on camera threatening to kill Congress members, shouldn’t be hard to get restraining orders.
Bc resolutions are so impactful, right? I mean don’t you know the average Joe down @ the garage is fired up abt the fact they all signed a resolution? And the hairdresser down on Main St is talking all abt the resolution? Half these folks don’t even know what Trump did! God, the Ds are bad at this!
Trumpus has now paused grants, which help keep the heat on for many. And if that causes the people who manage grants to lose their jobs? There will be riots. And after riots? National Guard. After that? He pulls a Hitler. That's how Hitler came to power. He's got the playbook.
It's easy to "condemn" but Dems need to sack up and enforce the laws that they took an oath to uphold. We went years of filibusters from Republicans, making it impossible to pass laws that would help Americans, especially workers. Why are Dems not making Reps' lives difficult in the same way???
…resulting in zero tangible consequences for the actions -
The effort is laudable but is as performative as MAGA - until there are consequences leading to change, we’re watching from the sidelines
Not that it will do any good, but it's nice to see Senate Democrats heavily outpreforming House Democrats, who seemingly have only oral arguments to offer.
Would be nice if they did something meaningful like not vote for any of his nominees. Move for impeachment due to not following the law on firing Inspectors General. Challenge this regime at every step!
I'm sure that the man who sent a mob to murder his own vice-president, and has been told he's immune from criminal prosecution, will pay very close attention to this piece of paper.
It sounds like he's felt the winds of his supporters' opinions move him. Yes, it's a motion with no teeth or enforcement or purpose other than to communicate support to Americans about the system of "justice for all" that is sadly being erased.
I wasn't even referring to the motion; rather, to the slate of headlines about "every Dem BUT Fetterman" signing on. When not even a few hours later he's on to.
Was he holding out? Get more clicks if there's a villain...
We all know those Jan6th pardons shouldn't have happened
how about a rally.... how about bringing people together over this... how about a multi-city closed circuit broadcast of this event to support .... THE RULE OF FUCKING LAW!
Get off your assessed #DOSOMETHING
Tell two people you know and tell them to tell two people, well spread this. It's getting censored left and right but people know, people will be there.
Gee that'll be effective in the trash bin. R's don't care, they do as they want, gain more power and influence and the dems come back with harshly worded letters and proclamations; and yesterday Jefferies puts out there is always god tweet. Who runs the dem party at this point?
Good Lord. That’s it? Our democracy is dying a quick death and this is what… to placate us? The republicans don’t care about law. But we draft a Karen letter to the manager?
Good. No the elected Democrats need to vote no on everything including nominees. They do not want to be complicit in the Trump era. Bipartisanship is a lie ginned up by the media and republicans. Time to stand for something.

Surveillance state sucks.
Glad there is nothing good to buy thanks to big oil killing natural fibers.
Not into plastic clothes, etc.
Trump's private army, the brown shirts.
Impeach the fucker.

At least, that’s an economist’s take.
My back-of-the envelope figures for Trump 1.0 were 500K excess US deaths and USD 5T wealth destruction.

And no one.
Is going.
To stop it.
Excellent works guys.
That will show MAGA.
It's funny how unintentional hypocrisy works isn't it?
That's what we've been waiting all week for!

* don't * talk * like * a * politician *
Thanks for speaking up for your people. Yay. Behold our hero’s y’all. 😐
Drumpy might as well have them over for dinner & sex trafficking.
Let It All Burn Down!
Fuck! Learn to fight!
Sigh.
Like lighting a fire with wet matches.
That outta help 🙄
0 commentary. Just raw footage of Jan. 6th and the treason committed.

happen because the MAGAs in government are, unfortunately, in control.
The effort is laudable but is as performative as MAGA - until there are consequences leading to change, we’re watching from the sidelines
oh no, a resolution!
The normal process will never eradicate fascism now that it is deeply rooted in the American landscape.
Ask the Greatest Generation what they had to do. It involved flame throwers & nukes.
I hear the Republican Party collapsed 5 min after the last signature was put to paper…
@schumer.senate.gov , please step down and let someone from this era lead. 🤔
We need an actual fighter in there.
Instead of, “hey, you did a bad thing and we all know it”, resolution, you give us…
…some legislation that has some teeth in it, that actually protects us and the usa from the tyrant and his minions?
the entire democratic leadership should be fired
They're probably mad at him about something else, so they tried to get the headline...
Was he holding out? Get more clicks if there's a villain...

He has turned out to be such a disappointment.
Spoiler: you will not get your money back.
But it can be satisfying to call their office and make their staffers feel so bad they quit.
If he can get away with it he will vote with them on everything..
Keep up the pressure on him.
Until we can get him out
✌️🇬🇧
