Too late, asshole.

Hey, I’d rather he came around sooner than later. Don’t piss off the few that actually ultimately understand the problem.

It’s never too late if one comes around in time and he has.

In each and every episode like this, some Dems reveal they still haven’t been able to combat their good-guy-selves that are operating under the unconscious assumption things are perfectly normal, despite the fact what we’ve gone through since the 2016 campaign is not normal at all.

We are in an unprecedented crisis, yet this lack of intuition to get that… that’s what has been bothering me greatly.

@becca656 I am not really blaming him. Whether someone kicked him in the ass or he was just slow, he’s come around. Then again, initial, spontaneous reactions reveal a lot about their predominant modus operandi. And we will have a really tough fight on many fronts next several months… which is hard to fight if your world still feels normal.

I strongly suspect every single Dem Senator will adopt this position. Our nation’s survival is at stake. They may very-well be able to postpone any vote until after the election.

Are you paying attention Sens. Flake and McCain?

I wouldn’t count on Flake and McCain, blood is thicker than water. But I still hope the Democrats run with this. I don’t believe there’s any way they can win. But they damn well have to try. Sometimes losing battles are worth fighting too.

Nice to see that the public’s view on situations can make a difference.

My wife and I saw the documentary RBG last week. That RBG was confirmed almost unanimously, and Orrin Hatch could disagree with her but praise and support her anyway seemed shocking to me given how polarized and politically charged the court and its construction has become in 25 years.

This is going to be a long 4 to 5 months. The posturing by every member of the Senate will be taken as a headline in MSM and Trump will pounce on every sentence made by Dems. It is gonna be a nasty ride that frankly I wish I had Cosby’s drug of choice to get by.

Au contraire mon frère. Blumenthal’s requirement is genius in its simplicity. The point is not hold on and hope that Democrats can regain control of the Senate so much as to explicate the legitimacy of the 2018 election itself. Remember, nothing has been done to prevent the siloing and manipulation of voters. We will still have roughly 40% of the eligible voter pool unregistered and probably no higher than 40% of the voter pool participating. Yes we have a supreme court, but we should not be confused as to whether they serve the narrow interests of our oligarchy or the vast majority of Americans.

It’s still disturbing, scary even that it wasn’t his first impulse. The only way this can get worse is if our Democratic lawmakers are somehow incapable of stepping up to the challenge at hand.

In other news, the big takeaway from Ocasio-Cortez’s victory is that she didn’t mention Whiny once and talked about what the district wants and needs.
This was an interesting approach: Don’t mention the Whiner in the White House at all. Let him stick his incompetent nose in.

Let’s make sure that we can afford to primary this dork in 2022.
