Sigh... I really miss the writers who’ve left Jezebel.

But is he being held to a different standard when his party isn’t standing by their man? Until formal charges are filed, they seem pretty happy just letting him dig his own hole on this one. His resigning would have only helped him compared to what he’s doing.

Remember when a baseball field full of Republican congressmen was attacked by a mass shooter, and -still- nothing happened?

Wasn’t always true. Our turbo-conservative congressman Trent Franks was convinced to resign after his -literal- handmaid’s tale propositioning came to light. It took a little over a week for him to relent. However, this was nearly 4 years ago, and the GOP has changed drastically for the worse since then.

The Democratic Party is the “our one-pecenters are the good ones” party. Now eat your scraps and embrace your multi-millionaire leaders like a good little follower, basking in the warming glow of their celebrity supporters.  This is fine.

Katie Porter was recently booted of the House Financial Services Committee, thanks to our current Dem leadership. I don’t think her getting a bigger stage is something to expect from them or especially Biden.

“Diet Republican: better than drinking Trump!” was always the plan.

“What the fuck was wrong with people from 1992 to today?!”

Par for the course, these days.

Senate representation numbers will not change, it will always be 2 per state. Representation according to population is the purpose of the other house.

It’s “martial law” as in military rule, not “marshall law”.

Yeah, that’s not going to happen.

Seriously. RBG had been on a death watch by both sides of the aisle all damn year. She was 87 with cancer, had repeated stays in the hospital through the summer, and even officiated a wedding unmasked a few weeks before her death. Anybody who actually plays politics to win would be ready for this one.

I thought they were supposed to look bad this year.

That’s why there’s a House of Representatives, of which California has 53 seats, and Wyoming has only 1. Otherwise, you may as well just abolish the Senate altogether - good luck getting that done.

It’s almost as if some of the worst possible people were assigned to the opposing ticket.

Thanks, and I’ve updated my bookmark accordingly.

Totally right about that. Hey, Thor - you fell for the wrong one, you dope!

Apparently, Eastern Bloc voting is a thing in previous contests.
