Sometimes nothing getting done is a good thing.

it's actually how the USA was designed. Things should move at a snails pace with our government. But you got presidents taking executive action like it's a bodily function and well....

Don't think for one second Queen Ocasio won't be doing thousands of EO the day she gets elected. Start the impeachment process of her now.

I’d say you think it matters, since you said it 🤷🏻‍♂️

My fear is that precedent has been set. As soon as someone is elected, the opposite party will just start impeachment immediately. Just drum up a reason and start the process. The "R's" aren't above that and we've seen the "D's" do it already.

Case in point, Senator Feinstein is getting raked over the coals from the hard Left, with calls for her to immediately step down. What did she do?

She thanked Senator Graham for fairness, and complimented him for running, "one of the best hearings that I've participated in." She also supports the legislative fillabuster and is against packing the Supreme Court.

When are people going to stand up and call this out as the hoax it really is? I am amazed that people are not screaming bloody murder as we continue to pander to this political exercise to squash the economy. ALPA has our dues money and significant resources yet they continue to move along like this hoax is really a reason not to fly in our planes. Guys, we have nothing left to lose. Our airplanes are at 10% capacity and we are slashing 1/3 of our seniority list (for now, probably more!). When is ALPA going to stand up for it's pilots and call out this ridiculous hoax? Have you read about anyone getting Covid on planes? It only happens if the leftist media says it's happening. Is it because they are focused more on the election and the airlines have already been crushed, or is there actually no problem here? You be the judge. Require our union to stand up for our jobs!
I don't follow the news much, but didn't somebody say something a crazy uncle recently?

Why wait until Election Day? Impeach him before the votes are cast.
