Eh, I think it’s ok to get the vapors when the president pulls some authoritarian shit and we watch our Congressional leaders give him the go-ahead. Sure, there’s a lot between now and him getting his way but the fact that the majority of our elected officials are going along with it is scary. 

Sadly, yeah. 

Oh I am sure you’re right. By supporting him they are essentially waiving the power as Congress to act as a check on the president - including the power of the purse. They know it. But they’ll still do it (reluctantly). 

He’s done this before, I don’t know why this is a surprise. The tariffs he placed on Europe and Canada? He used the emergency excuse to bypass Congress (tariffs that are still in place). They (Congress) demanded an actual reason, he refused to give it and then a month later he was bragging on Twitter about how he put

They’ve never let cognitive dissonance or the fear of being caught out as hypocrites stop them yet, though.

you’ll be helping to create an america where the next president can radically change our country with the stroke of a pen with no accountability, no oversight, and zero input from the opposition

Plain and simple, this is an authoritarian power grab. If republican Senators go along with this banana republic crap, they will be the ones that killed the dream of American democracy. Along with Trump’s threat to defund disaster relief to suffering Americans in California and Puerto Rico, who he insanely sees as

The guys who are fixated on making me squirt are not the same guys making me cum.

Second time I’ve seen you say Warren/Castro - tell me what you like about Castro as a VP to Warren! I’ve researched him myself but them as a pair hadn’t occurred to me.

Yeah, this is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. As we discovered the last time around, the rich live very differently than thee and me. (Vote warren/castro if you want this to change in any significant degree.)

Who the fuck says that in a job interview?  Jesus.

5 years ago, I was interviewing an attorney for a position in my professional organization (over lunch.) At some point, he took it upon himself to offer this opinion: “The only people I can’t stand are teachers and nurses... have you ever met a nurse or a teacher who didn’t act as if they knew everything?”

Its funnier when you remember that the devil tempted Eve with knowledge. That’s how base their theology is, the republicans.

BTW she beat the party backed Democrat, a millionaire, by a landslide in the primaries.

But,But,But....... what about all those holidays!!!?

Yes! Israeli is not synonymous with Jewish. You can be both anti-Israeli policy and pro-Jewish.

Of all the tricks the GOP has pulled over the last 30 years, them getting their supporters to believe teachers......TEACHERS FOR FUCK SAKES!!!! are a bunch of lazy, greedy, union thugs with their “gold plated pensions” andCadillac health care benefits” who do nothing but sit back and cash in their fat paycheck, is

Again, this is, without defending any of these Dem assholes, a coup attempt by the VAGOP. They are rapidly becoming a very minority part confined to south of US460 and west of US 29. These counties are the poorest, worst educated, unhealthy, and benighted parts of Virginia and the resentment against the

Criticizing the US government, politicians, and policies does not make you anti-American.
