After Democrats’ historic victory, why is this how Hakeem Jeffries is responding?

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries isn’t interested in seeking impeachment charges against President Donald Trump.

Speaking on MS NOW’s Morning Joe Wednesday, Jeffries laid out his priorities for his party’s newfound leadership in the House of Representatives.

“The American people don’t want us to get even. They want us to get things done on their behalf because life is way too expensive,” Jeffries said.

    Goddamn it didn’t take long for them to piss me off too. Accountability and public shame are the only things keeping fascists in check.

          That being said, there is a petition against Hakeem being House Speaker to sign on Change Dot Org. So far about 64K signatures. Might not change anything, but it doesn’t hurt to sign it.
