50 years of Democrats retreating and falling back have made the Republicans understandably confident.

Maine Sen. Susan Collins, another swing vote, said, “It appears to be a very thorough investigation.”

The Republican appeared way more sympathetic than Underwood. Plus, Joel Kinnaman looks like G.I. Joe.

Trump isn’t Hitler, he’s Wilhelm II. I’d worry about someone like Tom Cotton running in 2024 against whatever Democrat will by then have failed to clean up the giant pile of shit left by Trump.

Anyone, Republican or Democrat, fears the wrath of Republican voters far more than the wrath of Democratic voters, and with good reason. They’re rabid, they’re well armed, they’re easily scorned, and they have a very long memory.

Democrats are always fighting yesterdays’ battles. Everyone with a shred of political literacy knew, going into the 2016 election, that the next President would be able to appoint dozens of appeals court judges, and up to four Supreme Court judges, enabling him or her to solidify a conservative or liberal third branch…

The crackling sound of Grennfell tower burning would be an appropriate background noise to those speeches. At least the foxes are safe for now.

Jared Leto is playing Condoleeza Rice, I’d hardly call that a mere cameo.

When they envision themselves winning Powerball, they don’t think of Bill Gates, living a reasonably modest life and helping the needy - they think of Trump. Marbled floor, golden toilet, stretch limo. 

They need to keep at it, even if they don’t win big next month. Constant dripping wears away a stone. It’s what the Republicans have been doing for the last fifty years.

If they ever film a remake of Good Will Hunting, Bari will play this part:

These two can teach a master class as well.
