My husband and I made a list of things that would trigger us to leave the US. We thought we should figure that out before we’re in the middle of that fog. One of the triggers is that Republicans maintain or re-win (depending on this year) total control again in 2020. I know leaving requires us to exercise our…

I mean, no. That’s not....the point. You missed it, Padawan.

I would suggest the only senators who have “demeaned themselves and the body” are the ones continuing to promote a candidate who has now demonstrably lied to two confirmation hearings.

No, his employers are the big money donors. Never forget that. 

“No one is going to scare us from our duty of putting our party, wealth, and power above the health of our nation. Our mega donors will not stand for this, and they are paying good money for this judge. In fact, we have a court case coming up that concerns double jeopardy, and we’d very much like to have Judge…

“we will not be intimated by these people”

A United States senator comes out and flatly says he will not listen to the people he’s supposed to be representing, without any fear of consequences. A sitting president holds rallies and calls supporters of sexual assault victims “evil”. A Supreme Court nominee promises a straight up political war, with plenty of…

Aw, hell. That’s  just boys being boys!

I expect that if this article is accurate about the NYT article’s tone, the “both sides do it” stuff was added as a second thought to promote Conservatives not just dismissing it as leftist deep state failing New York Times hogwash. There’s a reason that the author’s not really naming who the Democrats are who won’t…

The New York Times will never stop carrying water for establishment Republicans and bow to the God of both-sideism and false equivalency. That’d be...uncivil. It’s a publication that is, and always has been, about the maintenance of the status quo, regardless of how fascist these formerly “conservative” politicians…

I mean, his rationale isn’t nonsense.

As despicable as I’ve always known the right is, if had told me a few years ago that the GOP would be able to thrive by openly courting the support of the Neo-Nazi and pro rape voters, I would have asked how much do you want bet.

Eh, I may have tone-policed the article a little, but they’re not wrong on the substance. It’s a pain to recognize, but one of the biggest obstacles to actually holding “elites” in our society accountable for their actions is that other elites insist that decorum and circumspection in how you talk to an elite matters…

Anyone who oversees any project to change over to an open floor plan office while acting like it’s any kind of improvement should get cancer.

Counterpoint: The filibuster, while used by shitbags like Thurmond in the past, is also the only tool Senators have to hamstring shitty legislation long enough to get public opinion on their side by drawing attention to bad legislation the majority is attempting to ram through, and specifically why it is bad. It isn’t…

If Kavanaugh is voted down, Lindsey will flee back to his beloved Tara and throw himself into Rhett Butler’s arms, weeping uncontrollably.

Methinks Lindsey knows that Sessions is gonna get the boot after the midterms, he’s seen some shitty internal polling for the GOP in the Senate, and is basically prostrating himself before Daddy Trump in the hopes of getting named AG.

I wonder how much of Graham’s recent rhetoric is really driven by his repressed homosexuality and obvious submissiveness to more powerful alpha men? Now that his protector McCain is dead, he’s getting needy for a new big man to cuddle up to. All of his recent actions read like a job application with Donald Trump.…

After losing his long time Alpha male to cancer, Graham is now gravitating towards Trump as his new Alpha. Beta males like Graham tend to emulate those their Alpha male leaders. Grahan went from a ridiculous caricature of McCain to and even more ridiculous caricature of Trump.

In most any other scenario it would be amusing to watch his performative outrage. The dewy skin, the quivering jowls, the watery eyes, the flesh toned hair helmet; all moving in concert to belie a vitality animated by genuine conviction, instead of the bloodless machinations of a lich threatened with the slightest…
