    Boy this already huh. Maybe I’ll have to save this:

    When asked if impeachment was a top priority, Jeffries said “of course not” during an appearance on “Fox News Sunday.”

    “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 added.

    “We believe in this country, you work hard, you play by the rules. You should be able to live an affordable life, a comfortable life, in fact, to live the good life, and that means a good paying job and good housing, good health care, good education for your children, and when it’s all said and done, a good retirement,” he added.

      I’m sorry but Jeffries’ commitment to addressing the cost of living isn’t exactly the most trustworthy thing in the world. I mean what’s even his program here? That’s also no replacement for impeaching the shit out of Trump and all his cronies; we’ve seen this movie before with Bush Jr.

        So then it doesn’t matter whether he says impeachment is a top priority or not since you don’t believe him. The problem with progress is we expect it all to come in one shot and backslide when we don’t see progress in a 2 year term.

        There is just no going from fascist maga rule to leftist utopia in one shot. Progress is a march. There is a reason Mamdami was elected in New York City and not Tulsa, OK.
