Why wouldn’t you hold it against him? If he can’t even get the members of his party to toe the line here, then what is he doing as minority leader? I remember Tom DeLay, who was a goddamn pest exterminator before becoming speaker, could whip votes like a boss.  Here we have Schumer who is Harvard educated and he…

I have a serious question about this that I’m sure will get drowned out by the punch left crowd.  If Schumer is unable to deny quorum, he has to be done as minority leader, right?  This is clearly a test of his leadership and if he’s not able to get the members to toe the line, then we have to seriously question his…

The left has still not done a good job finding cohesiveness. It is too spintlered. And we may all suffer because of it. God, to lose LGBT rights or healthcare God knows what else?

Here’s what I see happening. They will repeal Roe Vs Wade. And probably roll back rights across the board. Basically, the Republicans get what they want and reset the clock back to the 50s. You’re going to have the progressive blue states and you’re going to have the regressive red states. It’ll be a new Jim Crow era…

Some of y’all acting like they have reconstituted slavery or something. The court BEEN right wing fam..

“Honestly, the first words I shouted when I saw that Kennedy was leaving the bench was, “We’re fucked.”—-from Mr. Starr.

I did my part in voting for Hillary. I’m also throwing my support to Harris. But many want the democratic candidate to be an uncompromising unproblematic choice. Sorry, not sorry — the system is a binary and the lesser violator will get my full uncritical support.

This is why I am pissed at the Bernie Bros. This is also why I am pissed at folks who said “ he will never win” but didn’t vote. All of what our parents and us have fought for will be rolled back. This president now gets 2 Supreme Court members. That is huge. Also fuck the dems for not seeing this was coming. They…

Jeff Flake had also promised to not confirm any Trump judicial nominees, but he was also aptly named “Flake” so we’ll see, probably just his usual empty posturing. 

Posted it elsewhere, but it bears repeating…

I guess White women love The Handmaid’s Tale so much that they wanted to live it. Pat yourselves on the back, 53%.

Will you stop with this progressive stuff! The democrats sabotaged themselves by fostering on us a deeply flawed & corrupt candidate, Hillary Clinton. And given some of the latest election results with democratic socialists pulling off stunning upsets, its not a stretch to speculate that Sanders would have won the…

That people could look at Trump as an option after supporting Bernie Sanders is one thing I will never understand as long as I live.

Formerly crazy, but increasingly reasonable, Idea of the Day:

Yay. A president under investigation for numerous crimes gets to shape the social future of a nation for decades to come..

You’re assuming we make it a couple decades.

All white presidents have the right to nominate supreme court justices whenever there is a vacancy.

In this session alone, the conservative court has dealt a crippling blow to public sector unions and upheld Trump’s Muslim ban.

Civil liberties were nice while they lasted. 

Of all the crap Trump has done, him being able to replace one and now two judges is the worst of it in my opinion.
