This is not about principle-it’s always been about power. Progressives need to be comfortable with the acquisition-and use-of power. We will be faced with serious questions after the election; we must use the power we have to create systems reflecting the interests of the people. LINK

— Eric Holder (@EricHolder

Yep. And it can't be halfway, or we'll let them back into power. kill the filibuster, expand the court, impeach Trump's ill-gotten justices and judges and go after the Electoral College. Whole enchilada. LINK

I’m actually happy he’s clear that this is all about power over the populace.

They sure are afraid of the power of the people.

"Progressives need to be comfortable with the acquisition-and use-of power."

I appreciate Holder's openness, but I cannot help but laugh. When have progressives EVER been uncomfortable with the acquisition and use of power? That's what progressives do.

These quotes contradict one another. If their image is what the people truly want, why are they scared of us gaining power again?

Except that's NOT the whole enchilada, Greg. That's just the chips and salsa. The whole enchilada is when you get to watch Eric Holder be hung for sedition before you get thrown into prison for sedition.

How about these assholes?

Democrat Sen. Chuck Schumer nods along as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says impeachment is “on the table” to prevent the filling of the Supreme Court vacancyLINK pic.twitter.com/DDJdvL4D6S

FEINSTEIN on ending filibuster and expanding SCOTUS: “I don't believe in doing that. I think the filibuster serves a purpose. It is not often used, it's often less used now than when I first came, and I think it's part of the Senate that differentiates itself.” ht @DanielPFlatley

Seems like a reasonable tweet.

Sen. Feinstein’s protection of the filibuster is unjust & unacceptable.

The filibuster wasn’t made w/ purpose. It‘s the result of an accident in rulebook revision & bloomed as a cherished tool of segregationists.

Now it empowers minority rule. That’s not “special,” it’s unjust. LINK

— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC)

She is brain damaged.

In the immmortal words of the Great Al Bundy,

"LET'S ROCK!"

Let's go Eric, you came, to rumble, let's rumble.....street rules....better hope there aren't pipes hanging around or metal garbage cans.

He just set the rules, why play nice? He better hope he has serious protection when baws decide to show them what the baws are capable of.

I really dislike him more than any other Obama appointee

Change that to conservatives and it's what many of us have been saying for decades.

Imagine being a progressive, trying to consolidate power in DC, and then being upset when the other side uses that power.
