Right. The minute Obama is gone, the one way Trump can satiate his base is by letting the congress put Clinton through the ringer, again and again, if necessary. Like in 2018, 2020, 2022, etc.

He would caucus with the democrats, helping them to a majority in 2018 by making them one seat closer. That’s good enough for a senator from Louisiana, IMO.

Exactly. Warm bodies plus a majority = good.

IMO, a pro-life Democrat is a million times better than a pro-life Republican for one reason: They will caucus with the Democrats and add to a Democratic majority should the chance occur. Maybe in deep red states we allow a little wiggle room in policies to get the “D” next to the congressperson’s name. It means the…

To create a legally binding, individual document after vetting a person’s record to make sure they are not letting murderers out (for example) and then getting it to the president for approval, yes. But you go ahead and be condescending anyway.

Obama is signing them as fast as he can, I think. He has to sign every single pardon. Either blanket pardons aren’t allowed, or they have been challenged in the past and he wants to avoid that. I too hope he can find a way to pardon as many people as he possibly can. (And one for Hillary, too. Just to shut the GOP…

Late to this article (because I just finished watching the season last night). I cop to being probably the last person to figure out that “Billy” and “William” were the same person. I made it all the way to William’s speech to Dolores, where he tells the story of Billy, without figuring it out. But I’m happy I didn’t.…

It snowed in Seattle today. That usually means plenty of hilarious accidents, including buses hanging precariously from various bridges.

And, when he does good things, like get HIS Army Corp of Engineers to backoff on the DAPL, he deserves credit.

Oh for fuck’s sake. Many people worked very hard to end this, and no doubt Obama had pressure on the Army Corps. To dismiss his contribution as curtly as you did, you might as well blame the veterans for showing up late.

Hah!

I’m getting involved in my local dem politics in WA State to try to keep the Alt-Left from forever ruining the party by turning into a loose confederation of new-age conspiracy theorists who couldn’t nominate successful candidates if they tried.

One last time, for fucks sake. I am sooooo tired of hearing you people cry that she didn’t try hard enough to sway your vote. What were you waiting for, a blow job? I guess allowing Sanders to basically write the fucking platform, even though he lost, wasn’t enough; and Bernie asking you directly wasn’t enough; and…

Well, you don’t know me at all, then, do you? Back under the bridge with you!

I really think we should use the EC this one time, because this situation with Trump is literally the reason it was invented. It’s there exactly to keep this Tang Hitler* out of office.

I imagine Trump sitting at a desk while the teachers are speaking and him just pushing his hair over his face and shaking the dandruff out of it onto the desk.

And Obama knew exactly the right time to strut, when they took out bin Laden. Somwe know he can strut. :)

D’oh!

And Dave. Make him watch Dave a hundred times.

Well, again, calling someone a snowflake is a comment on their ability to deal with complex emotional issues, like rising above one’s own feelings about a candidate to look at the reality of the situation and vote for the greatest good/lesser evil. The term snowflake doesn’t arise at all because of the physical…
