We don’t even need to wait for a Pence presidency. Plenty of states are already eager to embrace Pence’s vision, and Trump has installed the Supreme Court Justices who could make it happen.

Meanwhile, quite a few (white, middle-aged men) are thinking, "huh, these people are on to something. Sure, they're brown, but still. Not a bad idea"

Excuse me while I scream in helpless rage at the injustice of this shit. 

The issue here is not that she is suitably progressive or even better policywise than Mitch. It’s that Mitch is a terrible man with no scruples or morals, which makes him very effective at his job as leader - at least when there’s a dem in the White House. He effectively outflanked Obama on various occasions because…

Well, I was thinking that 2008 shouldn’t seem that long ago for him, because he’s 50. But then it occurred to me that his daughters might have been born since 2008 (not sure how old they are, but the oldest looks like she could have been born around then).

i sincerely wish i could laugh at that because it was a joke, but honestly, was it?

I’ve been hoping the Slot would cover this one all week, but alas, I’m dropping it here because it’s big.

Think about THIS. If you’re 10 years old today, 2008 was BEFORE YOU WERE BORN! SOOOO LONG AGO! But for 46 year old me, not so long ago.

Mitch McConnell destroyed the Senate and dragged the Supreme Court back into the 19th century. Mitch McConnell needs to be stopped.

Seriously. If there was ever a valid reason to give a free pass to a less-than “ideal” candidate, unseating Mitch would be it.

When asked if he would make the same shitty deal with Epstein that he did back in 2008, Acosta replied, “Today’s world treats victims very, very differently.”

And somehow the news of Trump’s resort in Miami is hosting a golf game where the players get to pay for a stripper to act as their caddy for the game and, after, they all go to the strip club for a “Burlesque Show”.

right? WTF is this horseshit? Oh, McGrath is a moderate Democrat? The horror! Since when is opposing the elimination of private insurance “kinda shitty”? A decade ago Medicare-for-all and no private insurance wasn’t even the median Democrat position, and now a moderate Dem with a military background running in fucking…

Bingo!  And Sinema ran on health care.  A vast amount of Kentuckians rely on Medicaid expansion.  It worked.  I think it has at least a chance of working in Kentucky.

Shes smart. Her team watched that race. And took notes. 

She's offering the exact moderate Democratic political profile Kyrsten Sinema just ran on in crimson red Arizona. And won.

Mitch McConnell does not “kind of suck”. Mitch McConnell is the architect of the end of the United States and does what he does solely out of spite. He is the embodiment of hatred and corruption.

Seriously. I actually think the way she worded that statement is fairly crafty. She’s not saying “I love Trump”, she’s talking about what people (erroneously) thought they were voting for (lower drug prices, less corruption) which *is* what Turmp was promising. And McConnell *is* opposed to what Turmp promised. It’s a …

Kentucky is red, red, rose red. AOC would probably get less votes in the entire state than she did in her one district. So, I mean, if someone wants to even be potentially maybe able to win office, they won’t exactly be a NY or SF liberal, you know?
