I think putting up such a strong opposition is definitely doing something. They may not be able to stop the confirmations, but they’re giving him hell. He has the fewest confirmed cabinet members by this point than any other modern POTUS.

What does this one do for you, tho?

I love his assertion that her being ‘a great person’ (citation needed) has any bearing on Nordstrom carrying her line. They cut it because it didn’t sell, and Nordstrom is a business, it wouldn’t matter if it was Mother Teresa’s line.

Translation: None of those hippy chicks would sleep with him so they must not have been sleeping with anybody.

When I was 19 years of age, the sexual proclivities of young people wasn’t anything, anything like I see today.

I just heard my senator, Dick Durbin, on MSNBC. Apparently Sen. Warren, with her popularity and articulateness (is that a word?) gets under the Repubs skin like no one else in the senate. So it was personal.

because it might give them pause for a second and make them consider who the fuck they have actually become.

Invoking rule 19 is completely insane for a confirmation hearing. But even putting that aside for a second, how is reading a letter from Coretta Scott King impugning his character? Like, how?

Allow me to venture two competing hypotheses:

This whole page won’t load for me for some reason, but how about how he didn’t realize he permanently appointed Bannon to the NSC? “Oh, well...I don’t know. It all happened very fast, and then the man looked like he was nice, so I bought the timeshare and then...oh my...”

You have our thoughts and prayers.

This is a travesty.

A cab driver almost hit me on my bike two years ago when I had to swerve to avoid a pedestrian who stepped into the bike lane on Bleecker. He also honked his horn. The press never reported anything about it.

If Trump thinks he has it bad over here, it is going to be 10x worse over there. The public is allowed to get ridiculously close in England, the first thing he will see out the window of AF1 will be protests and every second on the ground will be people yelling at him. He will be forced to see the hatred for him.

This is just one prong of the protest effort. Folks who can’t take part in the strike will have many, many other opportunities.
