I’d love to see this for three reasons: 1) I love Barack Obama, and his presence in public life simply makes us better, 2) it would be sweet revenge for the Merrick Garland travesty, and 3) there’s a pretty good chance that, if it happened,
Okay, so they appear to have changed this headline since Talking Points Memo’s Josh Marshall screen-grabbed it. But it raises an important question — and that question is: “What the ever-living fuck, New York Times?” x lol nytimes 😂😂😂😂 pic.twitter.com/fOqoUebjR3— Josh Marshall (@joshtpm) November 30, 2019
Republicans proudly advertised their radical ways during Wednesday's impeachment hearings into Donald Trump, wallowing in conspiracies and embracing debunked claims. The question now: How does the Beltway media cover a party that has aggressively removed itself from reality? How does the news business describe and treat
Huffington Post is reporting that there is this Republican memo that states the following: The Republican leadership issued a memo Saturday clarifying that the Senate must take action if the House of Representatives approves articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump. The statement came in
You all are going to hear about this from plenty of other diarists, but Joltin Joe Biden just can’t quit digging his own grave on misreading the political times. Biden says he would probably resubmit Merrick Garland for the SCOTUS if he wins the presidency.
Laurence Tribe is a Harvard constitutional law scholar, co-founder of the American Constitution Society, a former judicial adviser to Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign and, evidently, a man of unparalleled perspicacity: x Hypocrisy is McTurtle’s middle name. And his first and last name too. What
Why? Because he’s the worst (er, second-worst) human being on the planet. A random conservative goober tweeted out these photos of Mitch McConnell, memorializing the chelonian choad’s singular role in killing Merrick Garland’s Supreme Court nomination. In case your eyes don’t stick 12 inches out
Fuck you, Mitch McConnell. Fuck you in your scurfy chelonian exoskeleton. ThinkProgress: Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) on Wednesday ignored his past condemnations of Democratic obstruction, releasing a three-minute campaign kickoff video for his 2020 re-election bid, centering on his successful 293 day blockade
So, yeah, Mitch McConnell thinks the Democrats are engaging in mindless obstruction. The Democrats. The Democrats. In fact, he’s so fired up about this he wrote a whiny op-ed for Politico titled “Time to Stop the Democrats’ Obstruction.” And just in time for April Fools’ Day! Anyway, just
Mitch McConnell, ladies and gentlemen: x As I’ve said time and time again: Mindless obstruction is unacceptable. The only way this divided Congress will be able to choose greatness and deliver significant legislation is by focusing on — as President Trump put it — “cooperation,
Sarah Huckabee Sanders, earlier today: “The president wants this process to come to a vote because that’s what’s supposed to happen. In every single one of these instances where someone is nominated, they go before, they have a hearing, and then the senators vote on
The Democratic Coalition, and its chairmen Jon Cooper and Scott Dworkin, have filed a criminal complaint for perjury against Bret Kavanaugh with the Dept. of Justice and will also file with the D.C. Circuit Court Monday for…wait for it… Judge Merrick Garland’s review… (click on document
Whenever my astonished eyes alight on one of Hugh Hewitt’s sprightly jaunts down the cobblestone courts of Crazy Town, I wonder how The Washington Post chooses its conservative contributors — and whether they could find equally trenchant analyses from, say, a random Reddit user, or the next
Expecting moral consistency out of Republicans is like trying to wring a human soul out of a Trump, but the hypocrisy over the GOP’s handling of Supreme Court nominees has really gone beyond the pale lately. As they whine about obstruction, they conveniently forget about
