Truth.

I identify as a Dem but there have often been times, in the not-so-recent past, in local and state races where I've crossed the aisle because even though I may disagree on some matters the Republican was competent and sane in contrast to the Dem who was dumber than a box of rocks.

Good for you. I’ve done the same. I often wonder what our country would look like if the 2 party system didn’t exist. There are so many people I know who just vote up and down party lines and are so proud of that fact. Can they share any details about the candidates they’re supporting? Rarely.

i'm not great on the names tbh, but he was from somewhere like Alabama or Louisiana, he just seemed very angry, you could hear it in the tone of his voice. Tbh i could have put a few more on the list but i'm just not familiar with them all some of them were coming out with some right nonsense.

This 'we need to heal' nonsense needs to do one as well.
Like a bully who's victim has given a punch back and it's the whole "can't we just be friends?" line.

No, there cannot be healing without justice first. Else this whole event remains as a festering wound.

If the GOP genuinly wanted to heal they would admit that Biden did not steal the election. POTUS and many others have not renounced that claim.

Many do. I think she has some great qualities, but I also think she’s idealistic and doesn’t think through or or at least present a plan of how to do something that might sound great in theory. She also seems to think money is infinite and not something to consider when throwing out ideas that do sound great. That’s beside some of her policies which I’m actually just fundamentally opposed to like forgiving all student debt.

I think that is more indicative of the person currently occupying the office of the POTUS than Nancy Pelosi.

How's about 'Nancy Pelosi is the Speaker of the House and she is not afraid of doing her job'?

And as for your assertion that she is acting like she is the President, well, she is certainly acting far more Presidential than Trump ever has, but she has responsibilities to the constitution that she was elected to uphold. Despite Trump taking an oath to uphold the constitution, he has attempted to destroy it at pretty much every opportunity.

Also, you do realize, that as speaker of the house, she is next in line to be President after the Vice-President.

Pete as has been said previously, most Presidents did not need to be impeached.

Can you imagine Eisenhower doing or saying anything that Trump has, even when he was delirious after his heart attack?

btw most Trumpists insist the Donald is better than someone who led the liberation of Europe
