The Force, like any superpower, works however the creators want it to. 

In a recent interview with AP Entertainment, Mark Hamill confirmed Luke will “make a curtain call as a force ghost”

This strikes me as a product of ego more than anything else. How arrogant must you be to watch the Republicans act like they have, and treat Obama like they did, to think you are the one who can convince them? And, more importantly, what does he plan on offering in return when we concedes and compromises with them?…

That said, if you truly believe that McConnell will step to the plate and play nice with anyone, you do not deserve to be POTUS.

I think Biden is the only Dem candidate who’s guaranteed to lose to Trump.  He’s a clueless relic that does nothing but make gaffes and jerk off to centrism and bipartisanship.  I can’t think of a more uninspiring candidate.

So ... then why does it make any sense for the Democratic party’s top leader to promote an idea that the majority of Republicans are really not all that bad?

Where were the wise words?

The party must not be allowed to continue in its current form.

By stomping them out of existence and in their place building real working class solidarity across racial lines with the backbone being strong union labor.

Joe Biden was Vice President when this very same Republican Party refused to vote on Merrick Garland and attempted to repeal the ACA 904,000 times. He’s had a front row seat to GOP extremism for eight years and yet he’s still talking - at a forum run by the Poor People’s Campaign!! - about “working with Republicans.”

That, literally, is the point. That we can’t do anything with a republican controlled anything.

Or let’s start a real, physical revolution if you’re talking about it.

Well the long stated short term goal is to wrestle away power from Biden and Center for American Progress-type organizations. People like Biden telegraph that they can’t be reasoned with, so, you overwhelm them with grassroots support for the progressive causes until these paleocon types drown.

Question for the DSA types and more progressive Dems: if this is how Democrats react to someone as comparatively mild as Sanders, and politics via electoral coalitions necessarily involves compromise — that compromise for a leftier Dem meaning compromise with the right, both within the party itself and with…

I’ll take humanity for $100.

I’m having trouble figuring out if he is such a complete narcissist that freaks out if the spotlight is off him for even an instant or if his brain is so far gone that he doesn’t even realize that he’s NOT part of this year’s production of An American President. Maybe it’s both.

The paranoid theorist in me wondered if Mulvaney was fake-coughing to try to stop Trump from saying something about his finances.

Anyone who ever—even for an instant—takes the spotlight off Special Big Boy is getting a reprimand.

This dude is further up his own ass than the super-serious high school theater kid who hisses at the parents in the audience if someone sneezes during that year’s production of CATS.

Trump: “I hope they get it, because it’s a fantastic financial statement,”

If you knew my sister, you’d understand. She has never been able to successfully live with anyone without having a mental breakdown over it. When I tried living with her as an adult, she cried at least three times a week. Once she cried because I was “...always here, all the time, and [my] stuff is in the bathroom,…
