She had it right the first time.

I thought it (her comments) relatively diplomatic, considering GOP behavior.

Fuck that. Why does our side always fucking apologize when the Right has a fainting spell?

Fuck them. Should double down and say that calling a rose a rose is perfectly appropriate, and if they don’t like being called dumbass-piece-of-shit-motherfuckers, then they should stop being them.

I like “fuckers”. More fit for printing than some other words I would use.

I agreed with her original statements.

I disagree with any regret, unless she wanted to apologize to fuckers to suggest they are anything like these particular Republican politicians.

“I should have chosen my words more carefully. I apologize for not specifying that your chosen partners are your mothers.”

Yup, from the guy who thinks the three branches of gov’t. are the Senate, House, and President. Tommy Tuberville is the Louie Gohmert of the Senate.

Not so much a cave as a tactical hit and run. Made her point; made it again when she “apologized” and when she garnered even more press and so far is still where she was before she said it.

This is one of the reasons I’m registered as an Independent.

Dems fall for this BS every god damned time.

Cause she got ahead of her boss’ message. The reckoning is likely going to happen, but Biden prefers the carrot more and the stick less.

OK maybe not fuckers, but definitely whiny fucking deplorable snowflakes.

There we go again… always apologizing. That is why they never make inroads among the white working class, those people like fighters. There was only one way to fix it was replace “Fuckers” for “motherfuckers”, wingnuts like people that .

“I’m melting, melting,” the yellow snowflakes cried.

Oh, what a world, what a world.

As Josh’s current column discusses, Congressional Republicans are inherently bad faith actors. Conciliatory gestures towards them by the Biden administration will be essentially meaningless in terms of affecting their behavior. Congressional Republicans will compromise (as in the case of the current Covid relief package) only when they see it in their political interest. Otherwise, they will attack and obstruct. Playing nice won’t make any real difference.
