Have we fallen into a mesmerized state that makes us accept as inevitable that which is inferior or detrimental, as though having lost the will or the vision to demand that which is good?

The investigation here isn't being kneecapped by the executive branch.
Is that going to make a difference?

It is the part where "ejected representatives dings the integrity" that rings so true. Your fingers had something to say even if your brain thought it could do better.

Warnock is one of the very very few politicians whose speeches I would listen to all the way through. Is it too soon to ask him to run for President?

I like Warnock, but I'm going to pass on a pastor becoming President.

meh, that's exactly what pastor's do though. Some try to skirt around it, but it's all bullshit.

Plus, you believe strongly enough in an imaginary friend that you chose preaching it to be your profession? oof, hard pass.

Especially his church. It's played a much bigger secular role than religious.

It’s not too soon but people like him, Warren and Booker are more valuable as Senators. For a long time to come.
