He had a multiracial family and they had a dance or something.  That was basically it.

The GOP needed Mitch McConnell to get Kavanaugh through, and the Democrats need their own vicious, Machiavellian political actors to achieve tangible victories (as opposed to moral ones). You already lost immense institutional experience with Ocasio-Cortez’s election, don’t hack off the parts of the party that can…

Form a legislative agenda, and save the Trump investigations for after Mueller produces his findings.  If he says that something fishy was going on, congrats!  You have standing to investigate further!  If he says there’s no evidence of collusion, further investigations will seem like base obstruction.  Poor handling…

It still boggles my mind to think of the sheer volume of consultants and cronies that had their careers utterly ruined in 2016.

I’m trying, but the Democratic Socialists of America didn’t run a soil and water conservation district supervisor this year

From The New Yorker:

I highly doubt that he’s going to be the GOP candidate for 2024, especially if Nikki Haley starts positioning herself for the ticket.  If not her, then Mike Pence.  I don’t see any reason why Cruz doesn’t sit happily in Texas for the rest of his career.

Today volatile sucks, but tomorrow volatile might mean that a dozen jobs open up.  Keep your head up, and good luck.

Damn, sorry to hear that. Hope you bounce back quick, and try to force out politics from your mind.

That’s O’Rourke’s true accomplishment, and Cruz’s real loss.

I think that if your default position is that the people you need to appeal to are part of the problem, then you’re going to run into the situation where, sooner or later, these same folks feel persecuted. That’s why Trump’s “Everybody can win with me!” approach is so difficult to counter with progressive politics.

Hi there!  I’ve been generating a healthy supply of hate-clicks to your site.  Can I play?

Nice to know that if Trump has trouble spinning a news cycle of shit into gold, Don Lemon will be there to help him out. You’re given two right-wing terrorist incidents in a week, a week from the midterms, and you decide to turn it into a referendum on all white people?

I’m pretty certain that Splinter makes more money thanks to hate-clicks that trolls generate.

I’m not saying we send him jail, this isn’t a criminal trial.  He simply needs to move on from this case and let someone with a more certain character take over.

It’s painful, but we need to let him hand off the investigation. If there is any question about his character, he needs to go.

We can’t place an investigation as important as this one in the hands of a man credibly accused of rape.

A refugee camp.

Trump is really good at this.   By the time this hits the SCOTUS it will be time for the next election.

So...was it an arduous process to submit a request? I get that it arrive late, but was it difficult to pursue?
