The Republicans played the Rocky themesong before the vote and drank beer after, why are you only getting worked up over what the Dems did?

Yeah, Manchin is the WV Senator and he was doing interviews today where he said that this bill is DOA in the Senate as it doesn’t have the 60 votes it needs. I hope he’s right.

The Seattle Times ran a story just the other day about one of the Republican Reps in Auburn being on the fence and courted by both the President and the Vice-President, and how he was hemming and hawing about voting for it but wouldn’t because “he was worried about the effects this would have on his constituents and…

His big advantage was that he was an unknown. You could take his “big promises” at face value because there was “no way” to “prove or disprove” that he could accomplish them. (Everyone in the know knew damn well it was pie in the sky, but that element of the unknown was to his benefit.)

The moderate Republicans are currently scared shitless of the 2018 elections. That’s what got us this budget.

Good to see the Republicans are still at it when it comes to attempting to kill their base.

Why is he getting so worked up about the Civil War? Like, there’s no direct parallel between what happened then and now. You can extrapolate the effects of it outward, but that’s not what is “inherently divisive” between factions these days. Also, his hero, Andrew Jackson, would’ve fucking despised this uneducated POS.

It wouldn’t be a missle. It’d be a ground war against one of the most fortified positions in the world. The military estimates are it’d be 100,000 lost the first day. No one remembers the Korean War these days, but North Korea is terrible terrain to fight on and that’s part of the reason why no one has gone back in…

My brother tried to go for the white pants look once and wore it with a buttoned black peacoat, the shirt didn’t match either. My eyes... they still burn with the memory.

Dude, I deliver papers in a rich neighborhood in the Seattle area (though nowhere near that level) and got complaints from people on the day of a snowstorm that shut down the whole city of Mill Creek because they didn’t get their papers.

Well, for one thing, he’s vain as shit and is currently in process of turning into Skeletor. He’s barely doing the job and his face is shrinking in on itself, imagine what he’ll look like three years from now if he makes it that far.

I’m really lucky my boyfriend both read “A Handmaid’s Tale” in a college course before I met him, that he is a Poly Sci major who understood what it was saying, what it was referencing, the actual source of Margaret Atwood’s politics and fears behind the curtain, why it is right, and that he “likes” the book. (I.E. no…

I know, the stupid... it HURTS.

Well, they did invite all the furries to come watch Zootopia in theaters while in costume. (For the kids.)

The cartels already have tunnels, and boats, and planes, and money enough to bribe whichever crew/TSA/border agent they want. The wall won’t be doing much to stop them.

The free market in action, bitches. Never thought it would bite you, huh?

If you really want to delve into the 1800s history of “Asians” (specifically Chinese-Americans), it’s probably worth tightening your search to California, San Francisco, and the Gold Rush which is how the majority of Chinese immigrants in California came over. They did engage in hard labor (were suckered into…

He’s doing what a CEO of someone like Exxon does when faced with exactly this predicament. He’s turtling, says as little as possible to limit the potential fallout. If he says as little as possible, that means as little backlash. The problem is that this doesn’t work with the Secretary of State, and by doing so he…

He’s no Karl Rove or Rumsfeld either.

Yes, but those other blue-collar workers were stupid rubes. The ones who voted for him are smart! The smartest! They’d never be taken in.
