What irks me about Bernie is he purposefully spent his entire career spurning the Democrat label despite caucusing and voting with Democrats the overwhelming majority of the time. He purposefully marginalized himself within the Democratic Party by refusing to identify as a Democrat. But then he comes out of nowhere…

Ugh, this isn’t Bernie kicking off a campaign for 2020, right? He’s too old?

Its also very important to stay informed. Everyone should know WHY the DAPL and Keystone pipelines are being built. It is so oil companies can capitalize on exporting crude. The moratorium on our 40 year old export ban was just lifted. The Bakken fields are already being pumped and have been in production for years.…

Every progressive is praying to whatever god(s) to keep this woman alive at least another four years. If they have to prop her up Weekend at Bernie’s-style near the end, I don’t even care.

Trump should not be allowed to nominate a Supreme Court Justice in the last year of his presidency #MicDrop

There’s a great point to be made that says 83 year old Ruth Bader Ginsburg is among the world’s most important people right now (which is by no means meant to imply that she wasn’t a substantial figure before).

DAMN STRAIGHT. That there is Merrick Garland’s seat and everyone else can fuck off.

I’m hopeful that the Dems are finally growing a spine. One of the Senators from Oregon has said that he’ll filibuster any nominee that isn’t Merrick Garland, and there are rumors of others on board.

Classic narcissistic abuse tactic: After screaming like a toddler, dangling out a thing or two that are almost like the thing you wanted/asked for/deserve as a way to gaslight you about the shit fest that just happened and try to manipulate you into further consessions. His offering a qualified candidate and promising…

I don’t care who he nominated. If his name wasn’t “Merrick Garland” then I expect every Democrat to fight and filibuster as long as they can, as long as it takes. This was our nomination and these shitlords stole it. Anyone who isn’t onboard with that should be primaried at the earliest opportunity.

I can’t stand that look of awe and childlike adoration on a grown woman’s face. It’s the look every woman with one marble rolling around in her head gives her husband when he’s got two marbles rolling around. Duggard shit

I think “we’re fucked” is a foregone conclusion about pretty much anything Trump related.

The Klimts I can’t fault him for. I wasn’t partial to Klimt until I saw a few of them in person in Vienna and now I am all about Klimt.

every Democrat needs to realize that obstructing the government, blocking nominees, preventing votes, filibustering, etc has no fucking negative implications anymore.

This makes it nearly impossible to spin the Sessions vote as anything other than a referendum on the Muslim ban. You can’t claim to oppose the ban and vote to confirm him, okay? Looking at you, Graham and McCain. Looking at you, Feinstein. Looking at you, entire senate.

If the ban were announced with a one week notice, the “bad” would rush into our country during that week. A lot of bad “dudes” out there!

The only response I can think is to my fellow white ladies:

Omg that woman was a freaking rock. Brava, and I’m so sorry on behalf of our beyond fucked country.

This might be a good time to recall something of which many of us are ignorant in our own history. It is estimated that 10 to 30% of Africans forced to our shores as slaves were of Muslim descent: many of them spoke and wrote in Arabic; some of them Hafidhs who had memorised the entire Qu’ran and could recite it in…
