What's then the hill you will die on, Rahm? Is it when women start wearing The Handmaid's Tale costumes? Is it when they start sending LGTBQ people to concentration camps? Is it when the first of the gas chambers is lit?
You fight every fight you arrogant imbecile because it may be your last.
Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere— MLK. We should not and cannot leave anyone behind or forsake any of our values to these craven heartless and UNAMERICAN nepo man baby grifters. Cede no ground!
Czech philosopher Ivan Sviták, 1968: "Only by fighting will you manage to keep up a fighting spirit. When basic human rights are at stake, we have to fight without asking whether we can win. Don't be afraid of obstacles, they are put in your way in order to overcome them."
Emanuel strikes me as the kind of officer who would have been fragged by his own troops. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy, frankly. He's been an anchor on our party for at least as long as I've known of his existence.
How can one man be wrong about so much, but continue to get high level political jobs...?
I guess the answer to that question is why we are in the spot we are in because he isn't even unusual...he's emblematic of the Democratic Party establishment.
Rahm emanuel still a idiot..Emanuel considered a wise sage because he is right 20% of the time.. with this level of insanity from Trump and the GoP you have to fight them on everything.. the Trump crime family wants to destroy democracy.. fight over everything..
Not a surprise but in today's (2/4)
@podsaveamerica.crooked.com, the hosts were concerned with the political fallout of the Dems defending an org like USAID, while ignoring the larger principle of them finally showing some fight. Was maddening.
@podsaveamerica.crooked.com makes me crazy most days but they are partially right. Dems should be defending USAID by saying " Musk hates USAID because it fought the apartheid that made his family rich" not for any other reason. Dems should make everything about Elon Musk and the greedy billionaires
I agree they should be making the argument about Musk but they cannot control which agency he is currently sabotaging. And they cannot wait till he starts to dismantle an agency that has better a higher favorable rating.
They're acting like this is just another administration, and not an existenial war, a coup d'ètat. This isn't a policy dispute. These people don't want to work together or "work across the aisle." They want to destroy you. They want to get rid of you and the Democratic Party permanently.
Once you concede Trump can,by executive fiat,eliminate an agency est. by a statute and funded by specific approp.,you can't argue such power is limited to the agencies you think are less important. The law & logic don't work that way. But Rahm has never been concerned about either of those things.
What an unbelievably stupid take by an unbelievably arrogant asshat.
For a guy who knows EXACTLY what usaid does, that was as dumb as anything, and there’s been a metric shit ton of stupid in the last 2 weeks (that feels like years).
