For the folks in the back row: It’s not the Democrats job to save the job of a House Speaker in a GOP majority…(especially one who launched bullshit Impeachment Hearings against a Democratic President to placate right wing lunatics and doesn’t keep his promises.)

A friend
faced their fear
of heights

faced their fear
of drowning
by deciding to enroll

This is one reason the usual Thomas defenders have been verrrrry quiet on this story.
