weird how so many of Trump’s “best folks” end their professional lives in ignominy

It’s kinda like when Tom Price resigned (REMEMBER HIM?! AND ALL THE MONEY HE STILL HASN’T PAID BACK YET?!?!), but Elaine Chao or Ben Carson or Betsy Devos etc. etc. don’t have to resign their positions.  Trump doesn’t actually care about the inexcusable fuckery, but will pressure you to quit if it starts to clog up…

No.

Delusional morons like QAnon supporters (aka QAdiots) will probably claim it is because the ghost of JFK Jr and Donald Trump working with the Reverse Vampires and Saucer People forced Alex Acosta (who was really working for the Deep State) to resign.

Just right now, Nancy Pelosi is blessing and endorsing protests against possible ICE raids against vulnerable immigrants, she’s telling them to lock their doors and not let them in without a warrant. This is after Trump declared war on immigrants, legal or not, and Trump means to spread fear. Nancy Pelosi is…

You seem to have forgotten that the Progressive Caucus was able to secure concessions during the ACA debate and other times during the start of Obama’s admin. Just cause these four seem more concerned about their progressive “images” over building relationships with other members and earning a coalition that hit that…

Do you understand game theory?

Of course, except that part for sure. Meant the general mindset

Except black.

Maybe of AOC didn’t keep going after other members of her caucus on twitter and in the press she wouldn’t have Pelosi clapping back.

Power is also about keeping the lights on, and making sure the lights continue to stay on in the future - both near and distant. It’s the patient use of it, the slow, boring grinding, that gets stuff done; overuse breeds rebellion and stagnation.

Seems like that is exactly every judge the GOP has appointed.

This. A defense lawyer’s job is to defend their client. This sometimes means defending the indefensible. That leads to extremely shaky, illogical arguments, but it’s still their job to make them.

Are we really going to ruin this billionaire’s career because of several decades of action?

Agreed.

These four socialist members of Congress are serving Putin, wittingly or unwittingly. They are basically Russian trolls, and they have infiltrated the highest level of government. Speaker Pelosi is doing her best to protect America from their pernicious influence. She deserves our support.

Alleged child abuser and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein’s attorneys filed paperwork on Thursday requesting a pre-trial release for their client, and claiming that Epstein should be allowed to wait out his court date in his lux—and thoroughly bizarre—Manhattan townhouse, rather than in jail.

“What do you mean politics isn’t just a series of purity tests?  All my friends agree it is!!!!!”

Term limits and age requirements are necessary.

Both options, to be clear, would make these members broadly unpopular with most of their colleagues. But if they win—and doing the things they came to Washington to do, which hopefully does not include making friends—who gives a shit?
