The Surrendercrats

Bernie has explicitly said that the filibuster should only remain in its old school form: if you want to filibuster a bill, you have to stand up there and speak for as long as you can, totally shutting down Senate business in the process. Yeah, let’s have the Republican Senators totally break the government by standing…

See, if Democrats don’t have the balance of power, rather than run on popular ideas that make them more likely to gain power, they should instead run on being able to pass the things Republicans want and only the things Republicans want. It makes perfect sense!

It’s a damn stupid argument. It’s basically saying Dems shouldn’t actually run on policy unless we already have the votes to pass it.

So Democrats shouldn’t run on anything until we get the Senate back?

The valid point being what exactly? That without enough power in house and Senate we can’t pass dick so what we should do is vote for a centrist who doesn’t want things to fundamentally change and who the Republican party already had refused to work with? Or that we should just sit on our fucking hands?

I think most people over 35 would. Imagine picking a job based on pay, expectations, and work environment. The horror.

That’s probably the main thing driving for profit insurance, outside of the for profit insurance industry.

I hate my absurdly misnamed “Cadillac plan”. I fear the capriciousness of my employer that could fire me or just declare bankruptcy tomorrow and leave me without coverage.

“May Orchard Park slide into Lake Ontario.”

Holy shit, imagine doing that to go root for the Bills.

I was in Buffalo for work last year and heard a guy in the bar say “Corey Coleman is the missing piece.” Corey Coleman was cut the next day.

In 2014 Bills fans were terrified of how Donald Trump would just be a rich through inheritance douche that would just tear apart their great public institution and sell the scraps to the highest bidder if he bought the Bills.

Also, someone took a shit in the stands…

Living in the Bills’ market but not being a fan, it used to be some gentle yearly entertainment to watch the roller coaster of emotion between “we’re going to the superbowl” and “fire everyone” at the first win/loss of the season after all the “this is the year.”

Shawn thinks the rest of the world needs a recipe to put chicken fingers on a roll.

Dear Shawn,

I’ve been to Buffalo twice.

I suppose it depends on how you count but the Music City Miracle took place on January 8, 2000.  Still an impressive playoff drought though.
