I agree that she deserves a lot of the credit for this as well. 

The only reason the ATC’s could start calling in sick was because Pelosi held the Dem caucus together in such an unbreakable front that the R’s couldn’t find anyplace to chip away at it. The fact that people don’t understand how hard that is doesn’t mean it’s not the most important aspect of the past month+. Boehner…

Another DJR classic.

I didn’t mean the bill is a stunt, I meant the speech. It gets a lot of attention, but doesn’t really accomplish very much. I’m inclined to agree about the bill; I doubt we’ll get anything better, though I also doubt that the House is going to take up DACA.

The #BlueWave is coming, don’t you worry. It might be a #tsunami by the time it gets here, actually.

To all those who will scoff at actions like Pelosi’s, and accuse the Democrats in Congress of lacking the will to pursue progressive goals, this is what it’s like when you are the minority party in the House and Senate, and have a Republican (???) president and a conservative judiciary. You do what you can to win…

Hope Hicks Dates Pricks.

Stop making sense. It’s an anathema to those people.

My money’s on: she did get a flu shot. For me/not for thee.

I also liked the statement and will be sharing it with my professional colleagues as a study in how to think about past employer mistakes and improve upon the current shitty state of things (in HR we advise on this shit all the time - who to fire, who to warn, how to investigate).

BUT WHY DID SHE WAIT SO LONG TO CURE CANCER? WHAT IS SHE HIDING?!

Very well said. She has the unique ability to make me cringe in the worst ways, but I deeply admire Hilary and her resolve. After all, she’s been under a microscope and crucified for every mistake for 30 years. And, for whatever reason (misogyny), she’s caught more heat over the years for her husband’s affair than…

I liked this statement very much. This site wouldn’t give her a break if she cured cancer, even on a night when we had what amounted to a fascist rally in the Capitol.

Oh, come on. You know that if she didn’t respond, people would’ve written op-eds being like, “Why hasn’t Hillary responded? Does she endorse sexual harassment?” Everything Hillary Clinton does and does not do is news and has been since at least 1992.

I did research on workplace sexual harassment in law school. I’m hardly an expert, but a lot of my research showed that a reason some victims do not come forward is that they do not actually want to ruin their harasser’s life and get him fired. For some victims, they want a more restorative approach (counselling,…

Except if she did not say anything the media would pretend that her not responding should be news. They would probably put up a clock ticking off how long it has been without her responding.

Can we stop with the Clinton shit. She is no longer news. She is not the president. She is not actively destroying our country. She is a flawed person who has made a fair amount of stupid decisions in her life. She has also been attacked relentlessly for her mistakes. And also for everything else she has ever done. It…

Rest assured, things would be better than they are now. We’d have the same problems we did under Obama, and boy we all wish we could go back to then.

Yes, it would have been better.

I saw the statement in Facebook right after it was posted, didn’t even think about the SOTU. I liked the statement, I understood her reasoning and her regret. She makes no bones about the fact that hindsight is 20/20, in fact she devoted one of many paragraphs to that idea.
