That’s all I needed to see to know that this guy had absolutely nothing of any value to contribute.

They lost Georgia, so they figure it’s time to pretend to be pro-democracy again so they’ll have a better shot in the midterms. We might see the GOP look to wash their hands of Trump sooner than many of us thought.

The framework in the background reminds me a little of the one they hung Mussolini’s body from.

Yeah, that’s a bleepin’ alien in a bleepin’ Alex Trebek suit if I ever bleepin’ saw one.

But what specifically? What should she and Schumer have given McConnell to get the bill passed in the Senate?

Not going to say that I wouldn’t rather see someone else as Speaker, but it’s not because of this issue.

Rethink your opinion regarding his father. He is (or was, if he’s dead) human garbage who may well have killed two women, and definitely attempted to murder someone else.

He should have, given that his father was (or perhaps still is, given that no one knows where he is) a huge piece of shit and potentially responsible for two murders, and is definitely responsible for attempting to murder someone else. Not sure why not “ratting” is considered commendable. Fuck that culture.

No, you can be. As for spouses, it’s complicated and varies by jurisdiction.

Yeah, uh, unless and until they actually catch the person who did this, I’m calling bullshit. If they are a real lefty, though, then they’re a really fucking dumb one.

(Inb4 “are there any other kind hahahahahaha”: at least come up with something funny if you plan to be a dick.)

What should she have done?

Seems to me this falls under the definition of sabotage with the intent to undermine national security.

Yeah, in my dreams. Would be nice to see these kinds of laws used for something other than prosecuting whistleblowers.

That really sucks. I don’t mean this to suggest any course of action for you specifically, but any big difference in values and beliefs is only going to get more and more glaring, especially if they can’t just let things lie. The very least they should be able to do is respect your difference in opinion and recognize…

Seriously. This would be such a divergence in basic values that I don’t see how the relationship could ever be healthy again.

I think the real issue is less the specific powers of the Senate than that the Senate was deliberately designed to be undemocratic. It’s certainly fair to agree that measures should be taken to avoid tyranny of the majority, which is ostensibly what the Senate is meant to do, but the body is structurally biased in…

Ewww.

That’s the most disgusting true thing I’ve read this year.

If I had a time machine, but I was only allowed to make two significant changes to history, I would ensure Kaiser Frederick III never took up smoking, and that Lee Greenwood never took up music.

Yeah, when you run on the idea that government doesn’t work, it shouldn’t surprise anyone that when you get into office, you do everything you can to prove yourself right. Republicans have no interest in governing; their exclusive aim is transferring as much political power as possible away from voters to corporations…

I don’t know if he’s made splashes elsewhere, but I know that on Twitter (I had been following him, but I deactivated my account on election day), he has made a lot of anti-Trump, pro-Democratic tweets.

Too bad that doesn’t stop them from being historical negationists or ultranationalists.

What the fuck? Who’s saying that? Just saying that his primary intention was to destroy property doesn’t mean you think he wasn’t very obviously indifferent to the death or suffering he was going to cause; it just means we’re fucking lucky he wasn’t bent on killing as many people as possible.
