Oh, fuck all of the justices besides Sotomayor and Kagan.  Bunch of fucking clueless assholes that are more interested in savoring the smell of their own farts than facing reality.

It’s been a shit year and a half, and I’m at the point where I don’t hope for much of anything anymore... but Brett “I LIKE BEEEEEEER!” Cavanaugh dying from COVID would do wonders for my spirit.  I’m not hoping for it, I’m not asking for it... just acknowledging that it would make me supremely happy if it did happen,…

Sure, but when he’s the deciding vote... when he’s the person deciding if something is going to pass or not, with all eyes on him, who does he support?  It certainly doesn’t appear to be Democrats.

I guess I’m just at the point where I’ve already written off the Supreme Court as a lost cause, mostly because the Democrats are never going to kill the filibuster and McConnell is craven as the night is dark.

“that means we get to loosely control the Senate in terms of bill priority and committees, which is a pretty huge thing.”

“Which is a damn shame, because the endgame is really when the “game” part gets really, really awesome.”

“Don’t get me wrong, Manchin likes to get paid too, but a big enough infrastructure project for his constituents will bring him around.”

Agreed, with the footnote that they never should have been allowed to run with DNC backing in the first place.  Stop paying the opposition to beat you, ffs.

They are Republicans, lol. I’ve never understood this ‘good as it gets’ logic, because you’re basically just calling your opposition a friend and pretending it means something. It doesn’t change how they vote, and anyone trying to occupy the ‘center’ (left or right - Collins, you dumb fuck, I’m looking at you) is…

“We NEED them!”

Him: “I stand with them”

At this point, the teams should be seriously considering just paying the fuckers out in order to get them to leave, assuming the contracts can’t just be terminated.  If not for willfully being the dumbest in the room all the time, then for spreading anti-vax propaganda (which is exactly what that video is).

The man was licking Trumps booty after Trump called his wife a dog... why is anyone still listening to this festering bed sore?

“If you think it’s so easy, I encourage you to get off your couch and try it.”

“I think this vote by AOC was really smart and will be popular after the initial uproar dies down.”

“I think AOC’s explanation showed a lot of courage and empathy”

“The iron dome protects Arabs and Jews.”

And if she wants to stay in congress she needs to maintain the faith of her supporters.  It’s a balancing act, and she failed here.

“I wept at the complete lack of care for the human beings that are impacted by these decisions, I wept at an institution choosing a path of maximum volatility and minimum consideration for its own political convenience.”

And the casual dismissal of Palestinian lives and rights because of ‘history’ (a history that you describe as simultaneously unjust AND justification for you being unjust) makes you sound incredibly biased and unhinged.
