Yeah, this is totally out of character for her. She’s never been like this before at all. She was always so quiet and just rolled over all the time, until this book came out.

Senate Democrats are limited in what they can accomplish when it comes to blocking executive branch nominees. With the jettisoning of the filibuster, they can’t stop them, they can only delay them. It’s obvious that the Democrats hoped that a few Republicans would have a conscience and not vote for a man with a racist

She probably finished the book last year before Trump was elected.

As someone who has to live under our current administration AND someone who voted for Warren, I don’t give a fuck what her motives are for speaking out. Is she speaking for women? YES. Is she speaking for black women? YES. Is she speaking for the people who elected her? YES. Is she promoting something that will make

If I am motivated to donate 2 million dollar to health clinics because I want recognition, sure that is not pure and it is more desirable for people to do a good thing out of altruistic motivations, but that $ is worth the same. We don’t know her motivations, but she is doing her job- she is keeping Americans engaged

She did not know the would bring up rule 19. It is an obscure rule that came about to go against abolition. Even the Republicans were caught off guard that McConnell cited this. And while I understand the disagreement at this point who cares what her motive was if she’s doing something good. McConnell handed her a

That is not helpful right now. We should be glad the leaders in the party are listening and fighting back along with is. Would you like for her to have not said this? Pitting liberals against each other is what Jill Stein did and one of the reasons we are in this situation. We CAN NOT afford to be divided. And if she

I think we need a few hundred more Elizabeth Warren’s in Congress. Books like this help recruit people who think like her to be like her, and to run up and down ticket. “it will trace the development of the middle class from the New Deal to the Trump administration. Warren will outline her ideas for how the

Let’s not be naive.

STFU. Seriously.

Perhaps public silence for the month preceding and following the book release, during which time she’ll be criticized for not speaking out?

Don’t you think the middle class and defeating Donald are important and timely topics? Are you against all politicians releasing books? Just the popular ones? I’ve got two of Obama’s on my bookshelf. Warren fights Donald and the GOP every day, so I suppose no day would be a good day for her to release it according to

No one understands what she wants, because she wants to complain about complaining. You can’t give anything to someone like that.

the timing of her book release is c onvenient.

What do you think voting for Carson was?

So... Not sure what you wanted her to do differently. Not write a book that would appeal to her supporters? Write a book that will reach out to Tea Party members? Should she have not protested Sessions vehemently enough to provoke McConnell? Do you think she colluded with McConnell to get shut down? When she was

I don’t really understand what you want, should they all have a moratorium on making statements or speaking in congress every time they release a book, regardless of what’s going on?

Side conversation:

He is maybe a little... less smart? I fully believe he was running on the fumes of his own righteous indignation in this case.

Yes, it’s that firm grasp of the English language that Boston suburbs are known for.
