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.
I don’t want them to impeach his ass unless they’re a billion fucking percent sure they have the votes to convict his ass.
AND IF THEY DON’T HAVE THOSE VOTES, THEY NEED TO MAKE IT EXTREMELY FUCKING UNCOMFORTABLE FOR THE REPUBLICANS WHO REFUSE TO HOLD THAT ASSHOLE ACCOUNTABLE.
he met with KUSHNER just a few weeks ago, he knows what hes doing.
Nobody wants “getting even”. We want accountability!
Jeffries needs to sat a the back of the class. His red underclothes are showing. Trump, his gang, his family, his judges, his congress… needs to go and if Jeffries starts with his usual “oh it’s okay we’ll just all be friends” crap - we may as well have lost on Tuesday. He should have no say in the upcoming battle to free America from fascism and trump. Pussies and turncoats and money changers are not an option from this point out.
We hired y’all to do one thing - put America back together again and keep this hellscape from happening again. And that means clearing out the bad guys who’ve taken over our government. All the bad guys… judges, congressmen, senators, his family, his “fox and friends”, his treasonous military leadership, his “police departments, …”. And it’s got to happen pretty goddam quick else that pumpkin colored criminal will REALLY fuck up America… beyond repair.
So “yay - we won”. When the gate opens and y’all hit the ground - you’d best be on it from day one.
While there is a certain argument to be made about whether or not to pursue impeachment without the necessary Senate votes…using the phrase “getting even” is a rather disheartening way of dismissing the idea of holding these people accountable for their actions. That should be their top priority. The longer they wait to take action, the less likely they are to get results.
It’s not “disheartening”, it’s outright dishonest. “Disheartening” is when your kid loses his soccer match.
Voting just lets peasants blow off steam so the elites can get back to business as usual.
Calling justice and accountability “getting even” is shit abusers say
Hakeem can fuck directly off into the sun.
Half of Congress would probably be perfectly happy caucusing with the other team. They don’t care and tout whatever party line gets them paid. AIPAC and MORON-PAC (i.e. MAGA pocketbooks) have been very lucrative partnerships for them.
All I’m saying is it’s probably all a dog and pony show for Jeffreys. He probably has no interest or stomach for a protracted fight when they can just coast and give some lip service.
because he would have to actually do something if has to even “entertain” some accountability, the files, and even the bbb.
Yeah it’s always “take responsibility for your actions” whenever you do something they don’t like (even if it was innocuous), but when you expect them to face repercussions for being narcissistic abusers, then suddenly it’s “Don’t be so vindictive! I can’t believe you’re holding a grudge. How petty. Revenge won’t solve anything! Let it go, it’s water under the bridge.”
While new water continues to flow under said bridge unimpeded…
Anyone who looks at last night and says “voters want Democrats to work with Republicans” deserves a kick in the groin.
No, you don’t understand. Hakeem Jeffries already made plans with Jared Kushner to move forward together so the nation can heal.
Hakeem Jeffries made plans with Kushner to squeeze all he can for Israel over the next 2 years before he gets ejected at the primaries.
I want justice you stupid fuck. Bury these fucks while you redistribute their wealth.
At the very least, we deserve our tax money back that he stole from us. Every single state secret that he sold should be monetized and redistributed.
What are you even on about… Didn’t you receive your stim check, personally signed from big daddy himself already? Ya’ll would’ve received another $5000
bribepayout! Now try asking dems for the same!
Like I’ve been saying. Justice will not come from The Democratic Party. You want justice? You want change? Then do as the labor movements did in the 1920’s and 1930’s! Get organized, and get armed!
That’s the only way to get the justice and change we deserve. Anything less than and they are just going to keep tugging our leashes.
This asshole needs to go and he can take Schumer with him: Holding powerful people accountable for their numerous and wildly egregious crimes isn’t “getting even”.
One might even say that Jeffries and Schumer are some of the powerful people who need to be held accountable. Hashtag NotAllDemocrats /s
He’s right, I don’t want even. I want fucking annihilation. I want to drop the hammer on these chuds so hard they can’t get elected until the next century. I want them to think twice about ever doing it again. I want them scared.
And you can do that while also making life fair and affordable. These are NOT mutually exclusive goals. In fact they are very much connected.
Do both or resign ya chucklefuck.

Tbf I could totally use a mild rack torture. Just give me a few minutes on that shit.
The American people want you to prosecute the fucking criminals in office, you wet napkin
I thought they mainly wanted lower fuel prices
Hakeem Jeffries wants democrats to lose in 2028.
Trump is like a festering wound.
Jeffries would have you running around, treating the fever, the fatigue. Maybe managing the pain. All the other things. But he’s not dealing with the festering wound.
Ultimately everything we’re dealing with, that be would say is a priority is from the corruption and abuses of Trump, the republicans, and the oligarchs.
Hakeem Jeffries wants whatever the Mossad handler that implanted him in his seat wants him to want. And yes that’s for democrats to lose in 2028, because Israel knows there is no world where a pro-israel democrat wins.
Nurses are great for recovery but not when you need a surgeon to cut out the root cause.
AIPAC and the billionaire donors is pressuring him to ensure that.
“We have won the election, so we obviously don’t need to change or do anything and just keep everything as it is…”
that’s the thing, republicans need democrats to stay as they are. Republicans make everything worse, and democrats are the lesser evil people vote for to feel like they’re making a change but all democrats do is hold the fort and make a couple of minor tweaks here and there to show they care. 2 party systems are so easy to game.
Which is why organizing and getting armed will do far more good, even if in the end, it just ends up being used as a big stick while we speak softly. They don’t feel the need to do anything because they don’t fear us.
Edit: typos.
“The American people don’t want us to get even.”
The American people beg to fucking differ.
Holding them to the law isn’t getting even. It’s not revenge.
Me to the cops, when I’m caught doing 120 mph in a 35: “Look, maybe you want to get even at me by throwing me in jail, but what does petty revenge accomplish? Be the bigger man here, and for the good of us all, let’s just move forward.”
What really pisses me off is that even by denying his framing, we’re helping feed it with the subtext “but is this pursuit of accountability tinged by a desire for revenge?”, which subtlely invalidates peoples’ legitimate rage.
You’re right, you’re right
I can’t speak for every US citizen, but as a citizen I can definitely say that while I don’t want to get “even” I do want to see justice served. Those who have raped (literally) and pillaged their way to power need to be held accountable or we are just going to see more and more of this same crap in future administrations.
Of course, I fully expect that the pardon machine is going to be running at full tilt in the next few months and some may never be properly prosecuted, but there’s plenty of dirt out there and lots of guilty parties, so lets start airing that dirty laundry, prosecuting, sanctioning, and generally making social pariahs of the fucks that got us into this mess.
