Well said, Senator. Now let’s have a blistering op-ed on the important role the legislative branch has in our system in serving as a check and balance on the executive. Then act on it. You’ve got a legacy to patch up, fella, and there’s not an infinite amount of time left for any of us. Thanks in advance.

Putin’s indentured apprentice does what conservatives have dreamed of since the days of FDR. And that dream is control of press information to what would otherwise be an informed electorate. Senator McCain offers words of grave concern as is his habit, that will have no effect.

As the vote against net neutrality First Amendment rights approaches so too does the opportunity and obligation to act. The vote needs only a few Republicans to defend the rights of informed citizens. McCain, Flake, Collins, and Murkowski have a great opportunity to do what they profess now.

McCain is an airhead that is a media whore. Just wants to be on television.

Sure, Trump’s attacks on the press are bad, but you know what the real problem is, John? His damn bills. And you vote for those.

I’d say, “good for him” but I know that tomorrow or the day after or next week, he’s gonna bow down and sign on the dotted line for His Orange Vileness, McTurtle, and all the other Shitler Youth.

ETA: Here’s an interesting article from MoJo in which ethics experts define TwoScoops’ worst ethical offenses in the past year… Not that any of it is new, it just confirms what we all know…

People are getting sick of Trump, his fake news allegations (which are his way to protect himself from the consequences of his very real crimes) and his policies. Just look what happened in Wisconsin last night!!

Also, Walker is running for a third term. That’s too bad. Come on, Wisconsin. You can do this. Red doesn’t look good on you.

“Wisconsin…red doesn’t look good on you.” ???

Have you ever noticed their state University’s colors?

That said, i used to think as you: that the state that gave us LaFollette could not bring itself to elect Kock Bros. puppets like Walker, over and over again.

McCain: It’s time to do a Jeffords. Nothing else will rescue your “legacy”.

Well, of course I meant the red on an electoral map, but I get your point. Red is my favorite color.

Well, you shouldn’t be too angry at Saint John of the Mavericks. I know that if some person called me a worthless piece of shit for enduring endless torture and pain in a prison camp after being captured while serving my country, I would gladly turn around and give said person a big political hummer.
