Discussion Thread: House Democratic Leader Jeffries Holds News Conference

24 comments

1. Good. Maybe mention how the leader of the free world called for death to your party members and don’t let up until something is done about it. Or is this just another Thursday in the ethos of “monster gets away with literally anything and everything all the time”?

2. Does anyone have any idea what this is supposed to be about? or did they just say they’re holding a press conference without any context or hint about what exactly the press conference is being held for?

3. 5 bucks says there will be strong words but no action after calls to put his party members to death

4. Let’s see whether he addresses the rather large elephant in the room.

5. Have any Republicans spoken out against Trumps latest tweets yet? Surely we’re close to them 25thing him between this, the Epstein files and his current ridiculous demands for ukraine

6. Republicans will send their “thoughts and prayers” to the Democrats targeted for assassination.

7. Hakeem Jeffries addresses his enemies.

8. Looks like Trumps handlers have taken his phone away

9. A press conference? He must have found a new and exciting way for his caucas to surrender.

10. Articles of impeachment are about to drop.

11. I hope this is something substantial and not just another strongly worded statement. Respect to Al Green who always has his foot on the gas pedal but the Democrats as a whole need to DO SOMETHING. Epstein was bad enough, now he’s calling for his political opponents to be killed. Enough is enough.

12. It is not a coincidence that Trump’s comments come immediately after meeting with the Saudis

13. If you’re in the legislature, you HAVE to call for impeachment when the executive calls for the death of members.

    This is perilous.

14. He’s talking about cost-of-living and ACA tax credits.

15. Trump: “I will kill you.”
    Jeffries: “It’s un-American to not address cost of living.”

16. “The Republican’s mandate has been destroyed.” – Jeffries

17. Two out of the three questions he’s taken have been about allegations against Democrats. No one’s asked about Trump’s comments.

    EDIT: 3 out 5 questions have been the same damn thing.

    EDIT: 4 out of 6 have been about Democrat allegations.

18. Finally Jeffries is talking about corruption. “That’s corruption in real time, and the American people are rejecting it.”

19. Jeffries up there like a broken record while “reporters” ask about anything and everything besides the thing that happened today that has never happened before.

20. Jeffries will pose some stern words that go nowhere.

    Americans will continue telling themselves there’s absolutely nothing that can be done to stop Trump.

    And Trump will get away with everything as usual.

    This isn’t the worst timeline; this is the situation that Americans have deliberately allowed themselves to fall into.

21. My god this is depressing. Trump and his administration are looting the country and this guy as a regular press conference. Democrats need better leadership.

22. Yeah, Mike Johnson was now bypassed *twice* with discharge petitions.

23. “You’re letting the President punk you like that, Mike Johnson?”

    You’re letting the president punk you, Jefferies! He’s threatening to kill you and you’re talking about “he should delete his posts and focus on affordability.”

    What is it going to take for these unserious spineless worms to recognize the value of their own lives? Trump already tried to kill these people and he’s calling for it a second time and the best they can muster is “hrrm,,, delet this… its mean :(” 

24. Jeffries would be giving this press conference if Federal agents were executing Congressmen in the next room, apparently.

    Depressing.
