Hakeem Jeffries, just about everyone’s last choice for House Speaker, is now promising transformational change, so he claims:
We need to take substantial steps toward bringing about universal healthcare — so that every single American in this country can afford to go see a doctor when they need one.
We’ve got to get big money out of politics and end Citizens United.
We have to prohibit members of Congress from trading stock.
We plan to deliver meaningful, bold, transformational change for the American people.
Total BS, of course. If he really meant it, he’d say something like this:
We’re going to pass Medicare for All.
We’re going to publicly fund elections and pass an amendment to overturn Citizens United.
We’re going to prosecute members of Congress who trade stock or otherwise profit from their jobs as public servants.
We’re delivering bold transformational change and if we fail, I’m resigning as Speaker and will not run for Congress again.

I love the weasel-word expression, “We plan to deliver.” Instead of “planning” to deliver, why don’t you just deliver it? FedEx and UPS don’t tell me they plan to deliver my package; they deliver it. Even worse is the empty phrase: “We need to take substantial steps toward …” I think I’ll try that on my wife. Honey, I’m taking substantial steps toward bringing out the trash. Right …
Hakeem Jeffries is an empty suit owned by corporations and powerful lobbies like AIPAC. He is where transformational change goes to die.
Ayanna Pressley may challenge empty-talk Jeffries and she’s got my vote (not that I have one).
In the Senate, Chuck Schumer has a real challenger for Majority Leader in Senator Chris Van Hollen from Maryland. Van Hollen is more progressive and less encumbered by special interests—and he’s not a slave to AIPAC like Schumer is. Van Hollen has my support—hooray for him!
Call or otherwise contact your Congress critters and let them know you’re tired of empty suits like Jeffries and their empty talk of incremental change accomplished at indefinite times—if ever.
One phrase for Mr Jeffries on January 3rd, your f….. fired!!!!’
