Listen to the “Trump Inc.” podcast. It lays out all the shady dealings of the Trump family.

Hirono was actually in my mind too - I was going to see if anyone else had the same thought. I like Duckworth as well but Hirono has some sort of special fire that I can't put my finger on. 

This is similar to how the KKK and Neo-Nazis have been joining and infiltrating police departments around America. These people operate in secret because they know what they are doing is wrong.

as we’ve seen here, the Democrats’ repeated attempts to make peace with an alligator have once again backfired.

there was an article on Vox arguing that democrats need to fight dirty...and not just for this cycle and this president.  They need to gerrymander and use all the congressional tricks when they are in power to hit back.  They keep bringing a fake knife to the knife fight...while the GOP is bringing a fucking minigun…

“It’s not so much that Schumer got played, it’s that the Republicans just lied to them.”

Kamala Mother Fucking Harris!

Time for him to be replaced.

Goddamned right. This is what I keep saying about the Democrats in Congress, and yet I get called out as some kind of cynical, Debbie Downer. This is how it is, and voting in the primaries for the same tired old assholes who continue to do nothing isn’t working.

This, fighting is important even if you lose.  It shows that you care.

“and the reality is that boycotting the process altogether is probably no more or less effective a form of protest as showing up”

Here is your weekly reminder that the defining characteristic of the modern Democrat party is “Failure”.

This is perfectly reasonable, and mirror’s McConnel’s behavior when he had the majority during Obama’s tenure.

I don’t think Sanders or Warren are the right choice - Sanders because I don’t think he’s a savvy political snake, as much as I like him, haha, and Warren because I would like her as head of the Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs committee (am I correct that she’s the ranking member who’d head up that committee? Also…

Love how it was packing the courts when Obama tried to fill vacant positions now it’s just republicans doing their duty. 

(Assuming we have a competent Majority Leader) I think the more likely scenario is that literally no judges pass through the Senate since it’ll be Trump appointing them.

Yes. Preemptively surrender and do nothing. That is exactly a winning strategy. Shut up and go troll somewhere else.

One of these days, a day that is definitely not today, I would just love to see Schumer and most of the rest of the Senate Dems make it all the way to school with their lunch money still in their pockets.
