I really think Manchin's vote hinges on hers. He doesn't want to be the deciding yes. If she's no and Murkowski is already no, he will be a no. 

There may be a slight hope that they really don’t want him confirmed, and don’t want to tip their hand to McConnell out of fear he will pull some shit. 

Perhaps to just end this shit and get it over with. I would imagine as a cranky and fudgey old man Big Joe is pretty sick of people getting in his face and bugging him about what he’s going to do.

Well 30 hours would put us at approximately 5pm tomorrow... maybe it’s an early wedding? We can hope for some kind of delay on the tarmac.

Spend any amount of time on Reddit or playing first person shooter games online and you will weep over how many young people agree with this reactionary reductive bullshit.

Maybe they just want to advance the vote, vote No, and get it over with... last sliver of hope I have left.

But there must be hope that Manchin simply voted to advance to later vote No and get this shit over with, no? Or even Collins? Anyone? 

There’s a distinct difference between short-form, Gregg Proops improv and long-form, Upright Citizens Brigade-style improv, which is structured to write a coherent scene on the spot and not just play with some wacky props and riff. 

I think we need to see a bigger push for nationwide open primaries, as well.

It was “dangerous” precisely because it was different from what came before. NBC didn’t like the risks. TV producers don’t like risks. It costs a lot of money to make a show. Have you noticed perhaps that many TV shows are essentially re-makes of shows that have come before with slightly different angles? Developing a…

I’d love to see the margins if everyone who thinks that is true actually went to the polls and voted their conscience.

The reform would need to be accompanied by political advertising reform. Similar to the nonpartisan districting committee, there should be a committee to approve or disapprove of political ads. Claiming Barack Obama is a muslim? Naw dude, this shit’s outta here. 

Not forced TO vote, just automatically registered. The process to register is an unnecessary step that, sadly, many people are too lazy to figure out or feel overwhelmed by. It would also put a check on a lot of the bullshit voter disnefranchisement tactics deployed by the right to suppress minority votes. Many states…

ugh. I think the plea was a matter of expedience, not remorse. He’s waiting on ol’ Donnie Boy to publicly decry the completely unfair, totally biased treatment of a great, great man, Paul Manafort, who deserves a full pardon from these ridiculous crimes fabricated by Mueller and his 11 Democrats.

It's really become a dog whistle for what type of person you are hasn't it?

You mean to tell me the coddled asshole egomaniac who unrepentantly cheated on his taxes for millions has problems with authority and consent?? 

Fuck his difficult situation. He could also take a stand and show reasonable people and progressives in his state that he’s not a self-important asshole who values political expediency over morality and decency. 

Fuck Manchin, a spineless, opportunistic shit for brains who should have retired years ago. Of course he won’t say he will or will not support Kavanaugh. He’s hoping the nomination is withdrawn and he never has to comment defintively on Kavanaugh one way or another.

wait, who?

I just think back to the story of Michael O’Donoghue coming back and saying the show was missing danger. Right now there’s nothing dangerous or biting about this show. I still watch it every week. I think it has had some success recently. But for Christ’s sake we are living in a waking nightmare and their jokes and…
