I loved that they had a press conference. I am obsessed with pandas and the national zoo FB is one the few sites that still make me happy on a regular basis.

I think there are a LOT of people who are sick to death of Bernie and his rude-ass supporters who cost Clinton the election with their petulant bullshit, and I agree with OP that, even though I like how liberal Bernie is, I would be less than thrilled to see him become the candidate next election.

You’ll get shit for this but I 100% agree. He does not articulate his platform well (he can hardly talk about anything other than his stump speech) and he stayed in the race far too long and drove down enthusiasm for Clinton. He is not and has never been a Democrat and I am honestly kind of mad at the DNC for letting…

It’s not recognition until all the white people know.

“Frederick Dougie Fresh, a terrific guy. One of the best.”

The women are leading this revolution and it makes me wanna knock over my desk, run out of the office, and take to the streets. You are a hero, Colonel Ann Wright!!

He will get confirmed anyway. They probably all will. Fuck these people. Fuck this country.

It’s about fucking time the Democrats started playing dirty.

You nailed it. I’ve been having flashbacks to the horrible, abusive marriage I left since he took office. My ex was a gaslighter and it leaves you battling to hold on to your sense of what’s real and what isn’t. I feel panicked and short of breath; it’s going to be a long, terrible shlog for our country and everyone…

This is the first thing I thought of, too. It really was the beginning of the end for Nixon. Folks in his own party began to back away slowly, whistling and looking off into the middle distance. When you fire the Attorney General because they are trying to uphold the Constitution, things have really turned…

God she entered the pantheon of heroes tonight

It might just be what we need, Trump in full meltdown mode ordering something clearly bonkers and then being defied.

The angrier he gets the worse he’ll be...and he is not happy right now. He is getting it from all sides. I’d enjoy it if it weren’t so terrifying.

He has Fox News which is pretty much state tv at this point. I had to listen to this drivel in the lobby of a state agency waiting for a job interview this afternoon. They put up their pet Muslim lady to explain why the ban is necessary and bitched about how Obama didn’t wait long enough to criticize Trump. I tried to…

Tonight when I heard this news, my mind immediately went to the Saturday Night Massacre. But things generally happened at a much slower pace back. It was more of a drawn out ordeal. It’s interesting to note that it was the Saturday Night Massacre that really spurred the calls for Nixon’s impeachment.

“For as long as I am the acting attorney general, the Department of Justice will not present arguments in defense of the executive order, unless and until I become convinced that it is appropriate to do so.”

Dissent is patriotic. This is a democracy. Sorry, Mr. Trump and the sfgate Konservative Klowns posting on this board; the United States is not your personal enterprise. We are a multi tiered democracy, right down to the citizenry.

It would be great if our checks and balances started checking and balancing anytime now

There’s something Mario Cuomo said about Reagan that has been going through my head a lot lately: ‘the worst thing he did was to make the denial of compassion respectable’.
