I think Dems have a really good map right here of exactly who they need to oust when they are up for re-election. IDGAF if you were our vice presidential candidate or whatever else, if you voted yes on all of these cabinet nominees, GTFO. If you can’t resist with this, how is anyone supposed to have any faith that you…

If you can’t win, you can at least retain a bit of self-respect while you go down in flames. It’s futile, I know, but I’d rather not be complicit in my own demise.

And apparently nothing to be gained from protest either. Basically this was Republicans saying “Oh, you’re going to block our nominees? That’s cute, we’ll just do away with the rules!”

There is literally nothing to be gained from any amount of cooperation.

Democrats need to understand that there is no good will to be gained from Republicans by trying to appear reasonable, hopefully this has made that crystal clear to them moving forward. Props to Kirsten Gillibrand, it appears she learned the correct lesson from the Iraq War authorization vote.

Has Trump ever really shown an interest in the “particulars” of any of his kids when they were young, though?

She hates her husband. I am sure she expected him to die by now. She has just been waiting for some excuse to not have to live with him. However, the trumps should have to pay for all of the security for her and Baron if they aren’t going to follow convention.

They’ve been programmed to go “WELL OBAMA DID IT TOO SO ITS OK.” Any response gets you “LIBTARD HYPOCRITES LOLOL”

Then she should pay for it herself.

If it should come to this, I, as a tax payer, am not comfortable with the cost associated with allowing the Gropenfuhrer his indulgences.

If I didn’t know any better, I’d almost think that these two people... one on his third marriage and the other doing it for security/wealth/a green card... don’t actually LOVE EACH OTHER?!

As a former military kid, this makes me furious. I moved schools, lived in dumps, moved every few years (or year!) and left friends behind my whole life. His son and wife can move to a fucking palace FOR FREE and move schools ONE TIME. Seriously, people make this sacrifice for the government. They can too.

That poor kid looks exactly like Donald. Sad.

Yes, I live and work here, but my office is a good 15 blocks or so south of the tower so we don’t really notice any disruption. I’m sure it’ll be different when daddy comes home, though.

Those are open to the public, just like Trump’s taxes.

Yeah, how’s that whole “anti-cyberbullying” thing going?

THIS. SO MUCH THIS. It isn’t about being “fiscally conservative.” It’s about gutting the country’s arts & humanities programs, research, & education.

This may sound cold, but why is New York obligated to pay to keep them safe? Is it legally required?

If it didn’t cost around a million dollars a fucking day I wouldn’t care where she lived... but seriously, our tax money is going to that? And trumpets are just like, yea it’s totes ok.

On the one hand, do I blame her for wanting to be far away from this melted crayola crayon topped with bleached lint? No, I do not blame her for that impulse.
