That is how a lot of them think . It was like the big lie told to the coal miners.
We’ll open the mines again!
No you won’t .
Many of the miners missing the point that the coal companies shifted to mountaintop removal as it removed a lot of those pesky humans from the equation.
Machines don’t get black lung and don’t need pensions

The sheer amount of time I spent defending him here from people who cursed him for being weak and a tool of the right during the all-too-brief time he was majority leader because he didn’t “go LBJ” and use his mighty majority leader superpowers to make Democrats stop acting like Democrats still chafes a bit.

We’re advocates for our cause.

Except McConnell’s cause was to obstruct the functioning of our government. That’s an inherently anti-Democratic and anti-American pursuit, it puts the people of this country and this country at large, in danger, personally and economically.

I do hope Reid continues advocacy when he’s out, we’ll need all the help we can just to slow Trump’s wrecking of our country, before we can begin to rebuild.

All I can do is add to the well-wishes and yes, he will be missed in the Senate. He’s a good man and we need more people like him.

Sincere and Unsparing

And, truth be told, Uninspiring.

Good-bye sweet footnote, parting is such sweet sorrow. Now get lost, you loser,while brave ones face up to Trump-fueled tomorrows.

Now if “democrats” can only get rid of Pelosi.

I believe it crashed just as disastrously as Trump Airlines.

Too bad he’s been thoroughly ineffective. He leaves with a fat senate pension and with the rest of us holding the bag.

I won’t miss him.

No kidding! We have lost a fighter and effective leader…just at the point in time when we can use everyone on the front lines.
