Nah, he's way too mild - more like Stephen Miller.

Oh my god that is hilarious. I had to go back up and look at Ben's picture and it made me laugh out loud.

Which explains why Biden isn't leading in the national polls by 25+ points, and in at least 35 states above the margin of polling error. "So, how do you want your neo-liberal economics served to you for the next four years: with every culture war side dish on the menu, or just an insincere moral lecture?"

I think the first thing the Founding Fathers (love the capitalization) would say is "Women can vote? Next thing, you'll tell me slavery is outlawed."

Before the 17th Amendment, it was easy to bribe state legislatures. There was a senator from Montana who was so openly corruptly chosen, the Senate refused to seat him. That's saying something in those days of open corruption. Read the Republican price list for legislation, appointments, etc., under Grant.

''How eliminating cameras would solve the soundbite problem, much less ensure attendance, the senator does not explain...''

Perhaps he thinks that if we do not see his punchable face and those of his other criminal cronies, we won't want to punch them any more. Maybe he thinks we couldn't otherwise find what their fucking faces look like. The interwebs - how do they work?

Gee, that's funny. I don't remember the Sassehole voicing any objections to the simple majority vote to place Brett Brewski on the S.C.

At first I thought, because of the name, that this was some kind of Breitbart resort, and would be happy, but alas it is not, and so I am sad.

Yes, most of them would consider the Democrats a centre-right party at best.

I would change 9 to cats, who even though they are smaller in general than dogs, are much sneakier, and they can more easily sneak up on reprobates like Senator McTurtle, and scratch the living daylights out of them in a split second. Plus, some dogs are bred or trained to help people, something that cats will never do.

Imagine them saving up their concerns in paragraph- sized lumps to deliver to each other, but of course, not managing to listen to each other. Always looking pained the whole time at having to interrupt. So much strain!
