Democrats = Charlie Brown
Republicans = Lucy + football
More of a guideline than a rule. â Bill Murray as Peter Venkman, Ghostbusters
Can we stop calling it a âruleâ then, idiot media? Like there ever was a McConnell Rule, or a Hastert Rule before that. If you insist on calling it a rule, how about the âraw naked power politicsâ rule or the ârules? we donât need no stinking rulesâ rule.
Congratulations! You have discovered that McConnell is an unprincipled hypocrite. Who knew?
âWe simply followed the tradition in America, which is that if you have a Senate of a different party color than the President you donât fill a vacancy created in a presidential [election] year.â
These people are 21st century Bolsheviksâno trust, no cooperation, just the exercise of raw power. And the ends justify the means, always. What concerns me is what our side can do in response, once we are able. Do we really have any recourse except to take similarly draconian measures against them? Itâs hard to have comity and norms when you are dealing with American Bolshevism.
How liberating it must be to know you can say any crazy thing that comes in your head and it wonât impair your professional success; it will, in fact, promote it.
Tyranny is allowed.
So letâs take back the Senate.
Anyone think he was finished ? He has an RBG voodoo doll in his office. When does our side declare all out war?
Rule? There is no rule.
âThe (pirateâs) code is more like guidelines, than actual rulesâŚâ
âRules? In a knife fight? No rules!â
Noooo. Who could have seen this coming? /s
DEM leadership needs to get it through their elderly heads that the GOP is never being genuine when they say things or make arguments. The Right will take any position at any time just to âhand it to liberalsâ an âwinâ. Hypocrisy is a feature not a bug to GOP voters, and spite, hate, and aggression towards the left is what they want. The GOP is playing a political game different from the DEMs and is winning because of it. DEM gloves need to come off or they risk loosing the next generation of millennial voters to apathy towards a political system they increasingly (and rightly) see as biased towards a minority of rural people and a DEM party they view as not very liberal, weak and pushed around.
McConnell: âIâm Trumpâs Bitchâ
He would have been more succinct had he simply said, âblack guy doesnât get nominee.â
He would have done the same to a white Democrat through.
The great Orioles Manager Earl Weaver once said to an umpire: âYouâre only here for one reason! To fâk us!â Mitch McConnell is that umpire for the Democrats. Donât like him f-ing us? Vote so that heâs not the Majority Leader ever again.
âThe Bolshevik Gambitâ - when you kick over the chessboard and shoot your opponent.
Only if youâre an old white guy. Hey, they have standards!
Now.
Quite simply,
He needs to die.
It would be a huge improvement to the senate immediately.
Any moment will do
