Or it could possibly be that they just don't do their f****** job. That's what the Old guard does in the Democratic party nothing unless it's to sabotage the entire Democratic party
Why on earth would HJ evoke god on the throne when the slide into fascist theocracy is being realised on his watch? Get to work HJ and quit the laconic smart talk. The people are full of rage and require you to step up.
Jeffries needs to grow a pair. Is this shit written in Iambic pentameter or is he trying his hand at a Haiku? Enough with the flowery language and start pushing back, Jeffries.
@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social You can’t be serious. This is why the Dems lost. Please show some spine and fight for America. Presidents don’t come and go. They leave a mark.There will be severe consequences cuz Dems play it too nice. Btw, this one is not going cuz the Dems gave America to a fascist.
Here’s the thing. We won and Dems know the election was stolen, but said nothing because we are trying to not be like them. You can’t fight nice with liars, cheats and fascists.
I wrote my last comment in error. I don't ask for anything you cannot give. I got you confused with a lottery winner (!). So, if have friends who might need services, let them know of my intentions.
If you are interested in starting a trust, or other such instrument, I will be ecstatic to be the boots on the ground. (My daughters will help). I've found several large parcels in Maine for under $30,000. I seek no profit, only help. I live a simple life. Let's talk.
Saw your profile--THANK you for doing what you are doing!!! I want to do the same, though I never buy a lottery ticket.
I want to buy land for an RV retreat safe space for unsafe populations: women, immigrants, LGBTQIA. I have money to purchase acreage in Maine, but I don't have development costs.
Thank you. I get so frustrated by Liberals attacking Liberals. Our liberal attachment to kindness makes us Social Liberals as well.
I will never comply. But, I agree, those in Congress need to smarten the fuck up.
We will vote for them BECAUSE they rail against tyranny. Hakeem's message is broken.
Cannot leave it totally up to Democrats in Congress. They still have to try to work with Republicans. We need to get busy and make sure Democrats are voted in locally and in Congress.
They should refuse to work with republicans who are ALL afraid of challenging maga because they’ll be primaried, sued or threatened with physical harm. This is not business as usual democrats have to resist at every level.
I’m still kinda a Christian maybe and I’m sick of this shit. Worship your god of choice at home if that works for you. But atheists or people w other religions should not have to wade through this or have decisions made on religion. Duh!!!!
I actually thought his post was satire at first. I’d have appreciated that more. This ain’t the vibe or the energy I expected or was looking for from him right now.
Both sides think their magic sky monster is on their side. It's the side acting on that belief that are winning. They need to stop waiting for a god to save us and get to fucking work.
These idiots should stop talking about GOD, a fictitious entity that is the root of all evil in humans. That and religion. @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social
Which god? None of them seem to be on the side of fairness, peace, or stability or have the power to manifest any of those conditions. What's the point of a god?
I'm a Christian and this is bullshit. Dems have rolled over and just given the game to a tyrant. This is a slap in the face to every person who fought against fascism and empire throughout history.
There may have been gods who created the earth but they left here a long time ago and they aren't coming back. We're gonna have to solve our problems ourselves.
Was this a dare? “Hey Hakeem, tell me you’re out of touch with voters without telling me you’re out of touch with voters. Extra points if it shows you nothing about our base!”
We definitely don’t need toilet philosophy Mr Jeffries … how many different ways can ya’all say “oh well.. it is what it is 🤷♀️” soft boy, Obama wannabe so over this crap
@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social Keep religion out of politics. All wars have been rooted in “my God is better than your God” mentality. Just stop. Do better.
Pleeze. God gave us free will, and we’re responsible for our own choices, good or bad. So this ain’t on God, it’s on us. Especially the 19 million registered democrats who didn’t didn’t like either candidate, so they didn’t show up to vote. Hope they like what they didn’t vote for! 😠
Are you serious right now. Have women been allowed to have free will, or is it just free for the taking from us? Free to plan meals... free to wash clothes, free to wipe your ass too.
This was the weakest most servile most “I’m going belly up to save my own political skin” bullshit I’ve ever read. Jeffries is apparently only brave under a Democrat administration, and I hope his constituents take that out on him come election time.
@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social THIS... The problem with the Democratic party is you have no real fight. Just words. No action. Millions knew Elon did something, you all just sat on your hands and did nothing to fight back, to challange the results.
I can't believe he's praying to God to stop this and doing it on Twitter. That's HIS job. He's abdicating his responsibility. Can somebody who cares in NY please start campaigning against him now? We need to be ready to primary every one of the useless democrats and support the good ones.
The basis of religion all over the world is the Golden Rule. Treat that other person the way you want to be treated yourself. Don't hear that any more. Why the Tariffs? Why violate a Treaty? Constitution Art. 6 what is "the supreme Law of the Land"? Why don't we have Recall in our Constitution?
The Bible is replete with plenty of stories of humans having to fend for themselves and do their own problem-solving. But make sure your incense offering is not in fact gunpowder...
However, your (quote) "fukking law degree" makes no difference. I have a degree too, also irrelevant in this matter. None of that renders my view "asinine".
Perhaps if you try speaking less aggressively, more people will engage. Your choice of religion, or anyone else's had no place in public policy, people who have other faiths, or none, should not have to live under policy influenced by someone else's religion.
Wow. You are incredibly angry. As someone who has voluntarily worked as an equalities officer for over 20 years, supporting people of all protected characteristics including race, I don't accept your accusation of "WW" bias. I too deserve the respect you do. I hope you find peace.
Your faith doesn’t seem to be working that well for you. You’re a very angry person. What little faith I have anymore, still seems to fill me with gratitude, once in a while at least. 🙄
Are you representing citizens in Congress, posting under an official account? No? You're good.
I'm not mocking him or whatever faith he professes, I just don't want Democratic leadership to roll over and play dead leaving it "up to God" - especially as an agnostic.
I agree - however my issue is when faith / religion becomes foundations for laws , yet also hatred and cruelty. But I do agree..religion bashing isn't helping.
This online shyt is EXACATLY how cowards function.
Your own fukking family members ARE the very people trying to blur the line between Church + State -- but u keep ur mouths shut to them, and get online and ATTACK random ppl for merely having Christian FAITH.
That isn't remotely what he was doing or alluding to in his post.
That BIGOTED shyt that yt Evangelicals are doing is exactly that -- but to think ur going to GATEKEEP every one else's profession of FAITH b/c you're too much of cowards to confront them isn't okay.
Still not provided any reason why anyone should respect your version of faith. You do not appear to be very civil or faith filled so why would anyone respect you.?
I don’t want my elected officials to be my spiritual advisors. We’re not friends. I don’t care how they feel about Trump’s attack on our country unless they’re telling us what they’re doing about it. They took an oath.
This is like the lifeguard praying while a person drowns- he needs to do his job - which is to unite the Dems against the Repubs and block everything they try to do!
Not just the Dems. Having a network structure helps but this is so far beyond only party responsibility. I’m shocked that some people are using this as an opportunity to jostle for position, but it shows they are not serious people.
Because they stood up one at a time. If they stood up together, we wouldn’t be here. Their antisocial beliefs hurt them.
GOPs had so many chances to stop him. At this point, they can’t claim the next guy will be worse when they’re letting Elon throw Nazi salutes at the inauguration. Resign.
God didn't do it! We did it to ourselves! This could have been stopped so many times! McConnell chose NOT to, Garland didn't either! SCOTUS, the list goes on!
The Republicans know that all Dems seem to do is play fair and trust in "God" in hopes of winning. They know how to win. Democratic politicians need to learn from people like AOC, it's time to fight tough.
Hakeem Jeffries, this kind of pablum will not accomplish anything. Tell your god, and the rest of your party to get off their collective asses/thrones and fight.
One of the reasons we fight against Republicans is their trying to impose their right wing religious views on the entire country.
And we have a Democrat saying this?

why did i expect better of jeffries?

So disappointing.
We want someone with real courage--not this milquetoast.

💩💩💩
The whisky’s there to get your attention 🙄💙🖖
Very smooooooth.
Wicked hangover. 🙄
We make use of both FAITH and WORKS.
You need to fukking apologize for insulting people's faith convictions -- as a means to get thru dark days.
This isn't our 1st fukking rodeo.
How fukking disrespectful.
I don't care if I'm fukking Jewish, Muslim, or Christian -- respect my fukking FAITH.
It is NOT Politics. You do all this malicious bantering abt each other's Politics -- not people's FAITH.
My intellect can handle it.
I did extremely well in Con Law.
Help me out here.
B/c my fukking Law Degree [concentrating on Civil Rights Law] from Howard University doesn't follow ur asinine reasoning.
No. Shameless STUPIDITY has no place in Democracy.
Community Colleges give out degrees.
And I meant every word of it.
Your accusation of Government FORCING religion on people is INAPPLICABLE here. And you know it.
That SAME asinine logic that MAGAts use -- falsely accusing ppl of violating their 1st Amendment rights when called out by ppl on their stupidity.
And don't ever try to fukking police my tone again.
I don't need people's PERMISSION or AGREEMENT to openly have 'faith' in God.
Now, take your WW logic and go somewhere else.
B/c trying to police my tone is very WWish to a BW.
Now, go find you some belligerent yt folk to police THIER tone.
FAITH is public, and should be lived as such.
U don't get to tell me that I can't use my fukking FAITH for every aspect of my life, relationships, and career.
Who the fuk you do think you are?!
Your issue with my FAITH is ur fukking problem.
I would never 'silence' my FAITH for u.
Absolutely, boo.
Oh, u thought I ascribed to the pop-Christianity shyt -- of Christ being a Pacifist?
No baby, my FAITH in God isn't based on ANY religious tradition -- just the Truth of the Gospel itself.
I'm not mocking him or whatever faith he professes, I just don't want Democratic leadership to roll over and play dead leaving it "up to God" - especially as an agnostic.
Your entitled ARROGANCE is out of fukking control.
How dare you try to argue that Politicians or Leaders aren't 'allowed' to have FAITH.
Your IGNORANCE of 'faith' doesn't define 'faith.'
Did Blk ppl roll over + play dead in SLAVERY?
Did we fukking roll over + play dead in Jim Crow days?
Did we roll the fuk over + play dead in the Civil Rights Movement?
Mind your fukking business -- its not FAITH.
Your own fukking family members ARE the very people trying to blur the line between Church + State -- but u keep ur mouths shut to them, and get online and ATTACK random ppl for merely having Christian FAITH.
I'm not having it.
Start at HOME!
Attack the mf'er that are ACTUALLY DOING what you're afraid of -- and stop attacking Blk people of FAITH, thinking we're low-hanging fruit.
Those mf'ers are in your own households + families --but you think you're going to BULLY my damn 'faith'?!
That isn't remotely what he was doing or alluding to in his post.
That BIGOTED shyt that yt Evangelicals are doing is exactly that -- but to think ur going to GATEKEEP every one else's profession of FAITH b/c you're too much of cowards to confront them isn't okay.
I don't need your fukking PERMISSION for anything -- let alone, to have FAITH in God.
Who the fuk do you think you are?!
Is this some fukking 'yt man privilege' you're high on?
THIS isn't a negotiation or debate abt Christian FAITH.
I don't need ur agreement or approval on SHYT.
You're just not going to disrespect my FAITH w/o consequence.
I don't give a fuk what u believe in, but you WILL respect my human right to believe what the fuk I CHOOSE.
GOPs had so many chances to stop him. At this point, they can’t claim the next guy will be worse when they’re letting Elon throw Nazi salutes at the inauguration. Resign.
He speaks like a Sunday school teacher and seems to think his weirdly emphatic hand gestures make the words sound more statesmanlike.
And we have a Democrat saying this?
