I have no love lost for James Comey, who I do think impacted the election, and no I don’t think HRC was blameless.

The US has a long, sordid history of “rugged individualism” that is mostly bullshit. Politicians appeal to that idea and get people to go against their own best interests so the politicians can funnel money to their buddies instead of building a society.

The point of the 2016 election was to stop far-right nationalism. The French understood this when they stopped Le Pen. If the threat of far-right nationalism weighs equally in your mind as the centrist challenger’s likeability, then you need a serious recalibration

There was an earlier moment in the Cruz/Yates exchange that really pissed me off and makes Yates’ response so much more delicious. Cruz asks Yates if she was familiar with 8 U.S.C. 1182 and she says “not at the top of my head, no.”

It’s been clear for a while, but most GOP politicians have opted for party over country. Sad.

Is it possible that Ted Cruz is not a great constitutional scholar or master debater...?

Boy, first we find out Paul Ryan isn’t a policy expert and now this. My faith in the party of Lincoln is starting to waver, guys...

She was great today.

She kicked Cruz’s ass when he tried to do the classic Republican deflect onto “But Hillary’s emails!” and schooled him on the Constitution. Then he slunk away in shame.

I will continue to post this until every single one of you has joined the fandom.

So when are we going to ban white guys? Or husbands??

Meanwhile, at JazzFest, even though it was the last day, I heard Zydeco, swamp rock, Kermit Ruffin’s tribute to Louis Armstrong and some gutbucket blues. I ate Shrimp and Grits, Shrimp Creole, Smoked Turkey and Alligator Sausage Gumbo, Begniets and Mango Freeze, washed down with iced and hot Cafe au Lait. I made a…

“I was trying to explain that all hospitals are required by law to treat patients in need of emergency care regardless of their ability to pay and that the Republican plan does not change that,”

Serious question: Does this bill have any purpose other than making room for massive tax cuts?

Folks, you are looking at the modern-day Martin Luther King Jr. This woman is my hero. WHEN will she be recognized as such? I’m sorry I have nothing helpful to say about health care right now but one point we can take away is that ageism is not called out enough. Respect your elders. Thanks to this honorable woman for…

No one pisses off Republicans like Sheila Jackson Lee. They can’t stand her for some reason, I wonder why?

I completely get Amy on this. I worked in the service industry and I’ve also been suuuuper poor. I’m rich now, not like Amy rich, but I can pay all my bills, go out to eat, and still put money in savings every month rich (so solidly middle class). I’m a generous tipper. I’ve been known to leave a $50 tip on a $30…

If you don’t fucking love PowerPoints, you haven’t been made to sit through enough talks without PowerPoints.

It doesn’t hurt that Clinton and Richards are about 19x smarter than anyone else in the room.
