Strongly strongly disagree. The time to treat Trump/anybody still on team Trump as anything else than pure human trash has long passed. Elections have consequences.

Also I have heard Charles Barkley say sensible stuff in the last week.

McConnell has long since been immune to charges of blatant hypocrisy, it's a waste of time for the press to even question him about it, the guy just doesn't know shame.

I mean, I get what you're saying but this is just the language the right-wing media and population has been using for 9 goddamned years now.

Republicans in Alabama were sure Doug Jones was just as terrible in every way as Hillary Clinton, and every democrat candidate everywhere is going to get the same rep. Meanwhile, you literally would not hire Trump to clean the White House toilets because toilets actually need to get cleaned.

Agreed, verbiage is beyond the pale and sophmoric.

It's a good sign overall tho.

Grunch but just saw this video.

The House can freeze the agenda since bills must pass both House and Senate to become law.

The real problem is that with 51 votes in the Senate, Trump can confirm any and all federal judges he wants, including a likely vacancy in our Supreme Court. The next judge likely to retire is a centrist, so letting Trump replace him with another Gorsuch-esque Looney, we're in bad shape for the next 40 years.

How many WH reporters have been tossed out of press briefings or banned? It's amazing to me that people aren't losing their **** daily at Garbage Pail Kid Shuck.

They're very weak people and they really don't care.

On Thanksgiving week she insisted they give thanks first before asking a question, instead of ignoring this they laughed and did it anyway. (except for someone from of all places the washington examiner, kudos to her).

tl;dr she's made them her ***** and their response is to immediately cave. They will continue to do absolute **** all.

Ah yes, I remember the embarrassing Thanksgiving display. I thought April Ryan would go off after Shuck told her that her mind was in the gutter for thinking Trump's tweet was sexual. It's like an 8yo playing gotcha games, it's shameful.

Trump got his own birthday wrong on his absentee ballot when voting in the NYC mayoral race last month. The NY Daily News obtained his ballot and found the error.

odds he's trying to build a senility defense for himself?

Not really specifically on any topic, but this is close to the biggest bodybag I've ever seen on social media and I can not quit LOLing. Figured I'd share with SE.

Chick 1 said she had no sympathy for some guy because he uses the n-word. Chick 2 called Chick 1 out for also being a known n-word user. If you mean you don't get why it's funny, me either. Timmay may have underestimated the extent to which the lols depend on knowing who these people are.

not sure if you saw this news yesterday, but the Senate Judiciary Committee actually pushed back against the 2 recent clowns Trump nominated to be judges. The nominees then withdrew.

there is some hope. guys like Flake and Corker announcing planned retirements really hurts Trump, on paper anyways. they are free to do whatever they want without worrying about donors or voters pulling support. not sure if this factored in or not, but Flake is on the committee. pretty sure with 9 Dems and 11 Reps, Flake (or any R) yields a ton of power there as a 10-10 vote fails.

that's not to say he's gonna vote no on classic Gorsuch / conservative types.

Yeah, even the Reds in the Senate are probably going to start rejecting these guys that have never tried a case, but they're most definitely going to fall in line when a SCOTUS seat opens up because that guy will at least be ostensibly qualified.

yeah net neutrality shouldnt even be partisan. I've yet to hear any solid argument for getting rid of it other than lol regulation are bad/obama is bad...

but of course the vote was 3-2 republicans vs democrats.
