Where is the “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington” moment when someone has the temerity to call a spade a fucking shovel and start smacking some of these idiots over the head with it?

Why has Lindsey taken his recently unguarded, sweaty and bloated with a growth of some sort bloodhound nose off the Obama wiretap trail?

“I appreciate the apparent progress…”

I kind of love that the word “apparent” was dropped in there. It’s subtle enough to almost intentionally not be heard.

Either that or McConnell will have a lottery to determine which two concerned GOP senators will be allowed to follow their conscience and vote no while Pence breaks the tie.

Me too. If you’re one of more than half a dozen Republicans in a state that took the Medicaid Expansion, you’re screwed if this thing passes. Make no mistake, these people care about exactly one thing-getting reelected. House members fall on their swords for the party. Senators don’t.

Well, I think the senate hammers it, and sends it back to the house to make them vote AGAIN on saner bill.

What’s going on with Bevins’ moves to shut down the last abortion clinic in KY, going after PP clinics with lawsuits, signing all manner of bills affecting women’s choices is alarming.
