The more people crow about getting things done when Sanders cannot, the more it reveals the inability of literally every other sitting senator since 2007 and literally every other sitting house rep between 1991 and 2007 to get the things we actually want done done.

That’s what I’ve consistently said about her. She’s got great analysis of the deeper structural issues and is amazing at explaining important concepts. Her discussion about the difference between guilt and responsibility being a highlight. And then just when I think I could almost consider her as a third choice, she…

if ever there was a “citation needed”. FFS

oh wow

Given she’s miles better than the dipshit moderate/conservative idiots getting owned tonight.

Even as a moderate Democrat from a conservative state, he’s fine.  He’s done good stuff for his state from everything I’ve read.  We’re a big tent, and we have room for him.  But he needs to read the room, and know when the party is ready for move left, and it’s time for him to step out of the way.

Look John Delaney is great...............................as a moderate republican. If only he would be an example of what the modern GOP was like, then this country would be so much better off.

Delaney goes back to insurance lobby talking points about “fantasy” policies.

Sanders shot back: “It’s not a business!”

Sanders: “Medicare for All is comprehensive. It covers all healthcare needs for senior citizens. It will finally include dental care, hearing aids, and eyeglasses.”

You need to ramp back up. Do it for the economy! The rest of us are doing our part!

My guess is that Trump will attempt to ram the appointment through on Executive lines, the Republicans in the House/Senate will make some perfunctory noises about “the balance of powers”—Democrats will scream to the heavens about the Constitution being used as toilet paper while doing absolutely nothing concrete to…

And the super fucking stupid part is the Boomers are all going on Medicare now which means the pie is going to be cut much smaller for them.

Goddamnit Peggy, I know you have a calcified brisket for a brain, but your dumb article was already dunked on over a hundred years ago by Mark Twain:

God, he's really running to be the president of baby boomers only, and everyone else can get fucked.

The problem with the thinking is twofold: 1) Impeachment is a political process and not a criminal process so it would be hard for Trump to argue double jeopardy & 2) A president can be impeached for reasons that are not a violation of federal criminal statutes. So, even if double jeopardy did apply, the house can…

Nota legal scholar so I guess I should hesitate to push back on this, but impeachment inquiries aren’t like...a criminal proceeding. It’s hard for me to understand how they can be part of the double jeopardy stuff, especially because a lot of laws he's breaking won't be part of them.  

On one hand, you’re probably right, and you’re also right that you and I and other people of some degree of remove from his worst policies can wait. The morals of that make me really uncomfortable though because not everyone can. In addition to that, judges, foreign policy, nepotism, and everything else is going to…

Trump is a career criminal that has committed a treasonous conspiracy with Russia, a hostile foreign nation, for their mutual benefit at the cost of the United States of America.

Woah... it isn’t? Well shit. I wish we’d had forewarning that this strategy doesn’t work. *looks at entirety of Obama administration*
