The Democratic head of the senate is saying now that the Democrats don’t have the votes to pass the bill even if the Republicans come back.

I think youre correct here. What this shows is that unless virtually all republicans are voted out of office (California) the GOP will use any/all methods to do the business of State. And by any/all it most definitely includes violence threatened or real. It will only get worse.

Honestly, this was my understanding too. They didn’t have quorum, so they literally couldn’t bring it to a vote, due to lack of numbers (literally present in the Chamber).

This “article”, really ticked me off. I live in Oregon and I’ve been paying very close attention to this story for weeks. This woman did no research and just regurgitated republican talking points.

Lol, I’m sure it was just timing, but I’d like to think that at the 00:1 mark, what looks like a quick side-eye of disgust, Trump’s brain was quick enough (out of unconscious reaction, not intelligence) to realize what Trudeau had just pulled off...and on national TV.

That’s some first class trolling.

To an extent you’re right, but trust me, Bernie’s camp is ecstatic not to be on the same stage as Warren. She’s the reason he’s been tanking, and he’d much rather spend his camera time railing against centrists, than have Warren show in stark terms how Bernie’s ideals don’t match up to her concrete solutions.

Goddamn.

You know what would be a great companion series? Something about the 9/11 workers who spent months at ground zero, having been assured by the EPA that it was safe to do so, and who now suffer all manner of respiratory ailments and cancers, and have faced the same struggle for accountability and recognition of what…

The dosimeters getting gradually faster and faster while the three guys were wading through the water under the core to drain it out was the best ever when it comes to sound. By the end of the episode I was like a cat under a rocking chair. I don’t think I’ve been that tense since I had two wisdom teeth pulled without…

I adore AOC but I can’t stand the fact that she doesn’t distinguish between an em-dash and a hyphen on Twitter.

Is this what Biden enthusiasts mean when they bitch about “candidate purity tests”?

I believe this is what is referred to as ‘polishing a turd’.

What dismay?

I have my doubts that they will make that discovery...

can’t surgically alter a personality or misogyny though. so, the problem for these dudes will remain.

Similar to the fucking Proud Boys who will walk right up to the line of being a nazi and not touch it, then claim they’re not nazis. What bothers me most about it is their cowardice about it. Not that I want them to be nazis mind you, but that they seem to be too fucking scared to just own who and what they are.

Yup...you’re right...it’s a sundowning thing.

I think he feels that he can steal a significant portion or the white male working class vote from Trump. He can’t. They are tried and true Trumpanzees.
