along the 5 through the Central Valley (aka Calabama)

It’s so cute when Democrats think both teams get to play by the same rules. Or that, for Republicans, there are any rules at all.

McConnell made up a stupid standard but there is no reason the Dems should not try to hold him to it.

The tea party has a rage boner for her. I live in Southern California but my whole family lives up north. Whenever I drive up to visit all I see along the 5 through the Central Valley (aka Calabama) there are signs shitting on SF and Pelosi. I don’t get it, most Dems don’t really find her effective anymore and we…

Isn’t this the part where Jeff Flake and John McCain and Bob Corker can stop their posturing and actually stand up to Trump and refuse to confirm? (I’m not holding my breath...)

Kennedy retiring effective July 31 was not a surprise to McConnell. He canceled the August recess long before this announcement.

I KNEW we could count on Schumer to take a bold stand and block . . . any nominee stupid enough to say in a Senate hearing, “I can’t wait to overturn Roe v. Wade”?

Because Trump knows that his core hates Pelosi, and will turn out in numbers to keep her from becoming Speaker again.

There’s no hope anymore. Everything is wrong, it never should have gotten this bad. Trump was too incompetent to take office. He had a very public history of being a failure in business, yet the American population ignored that. They ignored that he bankrupted every single company he owned, except the only one he…

Meanwhile, 

What is it with Trump making Pelosi the face of the Democratic Party? Like, I get that her role is important, but I also don’t know one democrat who gives a single hot shit about Pelosi’s thoughts on any matter whatsoever.

Meanwhile, if anyone can remember back a couple of weeks to the North Korea summit. To reprise: something, something, bad movie trailer, something, something, end of nuclear threat from Pyongyang, tremendous success...

I actually wish death upon McConnell. He is a truly despicable person. He intends to fill this role for life. He intends to destroy democracy. I have said for some time that he is the most dangerous person in our government, long before trump ever stepped foot in the white house. 

It’s too bad that progressives didn’t think women’s rights, voting rights, LGBT rights, and economic protections were worth the effort.

Senator Marco Rubio admitted that he and his Republican collegues are too chickenshit to call out Trump because they don’t want to look like they “side with the media.”

So unions have been killed off, gerrymandering is legal, and abortion will soon be illegal. 

Well, it’s nice they located a spine. It would’ve been nice if they’d located that spine when they were busy throwing Maxine Waters under the bus and pearl clutching over ~going high~ but fine. 1/10.

Something kind of crazy to think about.  If/When Trump gets this second Justice confirmed there will be 4 Justices on the Supreme Court appointed by Presidents who lost the popular vote

He’s already muttered something about recognising Crimea as part of Russia. And since this is round about the time of the NATO summit, expect some major fucking around with allies that just happens to benefit Russia.

Wait, I thought he didn’t believe they meddled in our election? Why would he tell them not to do something they didn’t do?
