There are a lot of Republicans out there claiming that Virginia Giuffre never says in her posthumous book that Trump molested her, which is correct, but they conveniently ignore this passage in the book, which needs wider exposure. Here it is. Who could she possibly be referring to?

Even 10 Dem Senators is still a big minority of Senate Dems (45+2). So if a majority of Senate Dems are actually opposed to this CAPITULATION, they should tell Chuck they will call a caucus vote and replace him if he proceeds. It's time to end appeasement & put the fighters in charge.

Let me get this straight. 40 Dem Senators oppose a CAVE, 8 are ok. So how about this: the MAJORITY of Dem Senators tell Schumer they will be demanding a leadership vote to ensure the will of the majority prevails. Fire Chuck, elect Chris Murphy Leader, and shut this capitulation shit down.

This "question" is essentially the Far Right asking for permission to go out & slaughter Democrats. If they can just convince themselves the shooter was a "leftist" (they're trying hard), they seem to believe that's all the pretext they need. GOP's goon squads about to slip their leash?
