Hakeen Jeffries elected new Dem House leader

Post by gounion »

Elected by acclimation.

It's funny how the right is butthurt that an African-American is elected leader of the House on either side, for the first time in history.

Apparently one time is one time too many for them. They just don't like blacks in leadership positions.

The good news is that Jeffries has been working with and being trained by Pelosi for several years, which is great news. Pelosi is one of the most effective and skilled House leaders in history.

Compare this to the trash fire that is the GOP and Kevin McCarthy. McCarthy is so damned pathetic he's telling the GOP that if he's not elected, that means the Dems will be able to elect Jeffries as Speaker of the House. Well, hell, the GOP has relied on fantasy for so damned long this isn't surprising.

Congratulations, Rep. Jeffries!

It's funny, can you or anybody think of a single "cool" hip person in any field, entertainment or otherwise, who is a con?

I cant, not one.
I sigh in your general direction.

Thank God they didn't puck a straight white Christian male.....oh that's right there is no place on the democratic party for straight white Christian males.
In fact of the party's top 11 leaders only one is a straight white Christian male. Some Congressman nobody gas ever heard of.

Awww do you the resentful white-nationalists feel replaced, today?

“Straight white Christian males” are not oppressed, you personally are an oppressor. “Straight white Christian males” have never been discriminated against, not by the Dem Party, which you conservative ones fouled with your dirty, violent presence for decades; and not by anyone else, either.

This is a racist argument, Glenn. It seems you can't stand it if white males don't have every office.

Not outraged at all.
He is very well qualified and would have gotten the job if he were
Gay
Female
Muslim which he is
Or any other member of the democratic party coalition

However if he had been a straight white Christian male he would not have been considered for the position

Glennfs sure sings a different tune about the seven not-whites in the Republican Party.

Those he trots out like feckless tokens so he can break his arm patting himself on the back.

We’re all illegals and Hershel Walkers and china virus, to him. :problem:

When it comes to democratic party leadership there is no place for straight white Christian males.

“Qualified” is a white-supremacist canard.

Just as you only bother to ever mention “Africa” when trying to take a niggerbaiting swipe at me, you only speak of “qualifications” when talking about so-called minorities and minoritized people.
However if he had been a straight white Christian male he would not have been considered for the position
:problem: “if he had been a straight white Christian male, the word “qualified” wouldn’t even enter your underutilized mind.

“Straight white Christian males” are not discriminated against anywhere in this country, or in this entire hemisphere. Not by the Dems or anyone else. You never have been, either.

The only reason a “first”-anything like “first Black leader of a major American political party” is even news is because of centuries of “straight white Christian males” excluding and discriminating against everyone else, starting with your own family members.

Every time you see such a “first,” don’t forget it.

No just facts
Jeffries is 100pct qualified for the job. In fact given the state of the congressional democrats probably the best choice they could have made. But
If he were a straight white Christian male he would not have been considered for the job.

Nothing white nationalists or racist about that fact.

Yes it is. "First time ever" is obviously too many times for you.

This word is a white-supremacist concept you guys only use when speaking about so-called minorities.

You even use it right in front of our faces, patting yourself on the back as if it’s a compliment. It doesn’t say about you what you think it does.

Regardless of how many tourists you repeat this Reagan-era KKK propaganda, it’s only a fact to the great replacement/Jews will not replace us/very fine people mentality, blinkered by your own victimization myths.

White supremacism and white nationalism are not valid sentiments or political positions.

You’d never talk in terms of “a straight white Christian male” being “qualified.” The only reason you use this term is because the subject is from a minority group or groups you guys spent the past 15 generations eliminating from public life.
… racist …
Never called it “racist,” though you’re desperate for me to do so.

Your last comment there :lol: He calls you a racist several times a day, not knowing what the word means in the first place and even then it would not apply, nor would "bigot." Calling things as they are is not racist or bigoted.
