McConnell's... "ongoing status as a dead person, (allegedly!) " made me laugh out loud...the day will come when McConnell and Trump, like Generalissimo Francisco Franco, will be "still dead!" Can't wait.
He put himself in his shoes. And he put himself in the middle of delicate negotiations. They're "delicate" because he's trying to clean up his own mess, and he's no better at cleaning up messes than he is at avoiding them in the first place. If assholes like Foghorn Leghorn there would stop enabling him, maybe he would stop creating messes.
Well, trump is good at grabbing pussy and that is exactly what he did when he marched into the Senate.
These fucking Senators are not facing the Abominable Snowmonster of Christmas Town. The man they're facing is a toothless, humiliated loser named Bumble and yet they still wet their panties at the sight of him. To call them worthless would be a vast understating of the situation.

A bitter clash among Supreme Court justices came into view Thursday through a pair of immigration rulings, in which Justice Samuel Alito accused his liberal colleagues of blindsiding him.
The friction emerged when Alito announced the court's decision in an asylum case, adopting a narrow interpretation of what it means for a migrant to have "arrived" in the United States under federal law โ a reading that makes it significantly harder for asylum seekers who traveled through Mexico and South America to qualify unless they physically set foot on U.S. soil, reported CNN's Joan Biskupic.
"The tension really hit a climax, and it came when Justice Samuel Alito read three different opinions from the bench, the first one fairly routine, but the second two having to do with immigration and refugee rights," Biskupic reported from outside the court. "What happened in the courtroom showed not just the division but the anger between the two sides, and Justice Alito, right there from the bench, accused his liberal colleague, Sonia Sotomayor of blindsiding him, in effect, when she started to read her dissent from the bench."
"Typically, it's the justice who is reading the majority opinion who's the only one who speaks," she added. "If somebody reads a dissent in this case, from the liberals really protesting what has happened in this refugee case."
Over roughly 10 minutes, Sotomayor invoked the 1939 voyage of more than 900 Jewish refugees turned away from Cuba and the United States, most of whom later perished in the Holocaust, and tied that history to international treaties protecting people fleeing persecution. She argued the ruling betrayed that legacy and detailed the violence and extortion facing migrants stranded near the border. Justices Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson joined her.
"Then Justice Alito, who's going to read another opinion, he stops and he says, 'If I had known that the dissent was going to deliver that opinion from the bench, I would have said more, I would have said more about why we ruled the way we did,'" Biskupic said. "It was a very bitter response to what we had just heard."
The Judiciary Reform Act of 2021 could have headed off a whole bunch of SCOTUS bullshit, now we'll have to wait for the JRA of 2029. This has to be the top priority of the next administration.
Federal judge halts Trumpโs election executive order seeking to create a federal voter list
BOSTON (AP) โ A federal judge on Thursday halted President Donald Trumpโs executive order that sought to create a federal voter list and limit who can receive a mail ballot.
U.S. District Court Judge Indira Talwani, who was nominated by Democratic President Barack Obama, sided with a coalition of nearly two dozen states that challenged the Republican presidentโs order in granting a summary judgment. Her ruling applies to this yearโs midterm election cycle.
Plaintiffs argued in two lawsuits, both filed in federal court in Boston, that Trumpโs order should be found unconstitutional because the states and Congress, not the president, have the power to set election rules. The judge agreed, noting in her ruling that the provisions of Trumpโs order โunconstitutionally violate the separation of powers.โ
It was the second ruling in as many days against executive orders Trump has signed seeking oversight of the nationโs elections. A separate ruling Wednesday prohibited an executive order he had signed last year that would have required people to show documents proving their citizenship when registering to vote.
Wait...they un-voted for it? How does that work? I didn't know the Senate could un-pass a bill it had already passed. I guess nobody said, "No take-backsies"?
The legislature in my state once rolled the chamber clock back three hours so they could claim they passed the budget on time. There are no rules that canโt be changed.
Can't ANY of the Congressional Republicans possibly think about ANY of we, the people, instead of themselves, their party, and their wallets? Rhetorical question here.

They wet their pants because he can still cost them their political careers, no matter how ineffectual he is at literally everything else.
Mebbe. I'd say a lot of them are going to lose their political careers BECAUSE of him. But we're going to find out, aren't we?
Looks like Trump threatened Cassidy with a mortgage crime or something because he caved.
"I will not be bullied! Oh, yes I will! "
cut to vid of Cassidy being chased by reporters..."Senator, why are you so chickenshit?"
I guess this is what winning looks like now:

If there's one good thing out of all of this, it's that the next Democrat President can pretty much do whatever he or she wants.
Bill Cassidy on Jimmy Kimmel in May 2017 โ "As long as [Democratic Senators] decide to be passive, stay on the sidelines, there's nothing that can be done. I'm just amazed. You become a senator not by being passive, but by being active, and all of a sudden, we've got a whole group just deciding to sit on their palms." https://www.businessinsider.com/bill-cassidy-interview-healthcare-jimmy-kimmel-test-james-comey-firing-2017-5
Cassidy was utterly full of shit then too.
I guess he left his balls on his lunch tray along with his retainer.
46 of our genes are identical to those found in a banana. I think that it's higher for GOP Senators
Bernie? More? NO.
Fuck this whiny, bitter old man. Fuck him for eternity.

I think maybe the second one was worded a litle differently? All I know is that Tim Kaine sponsored #2. So they voted on the new bill.

I hear (via Heather Cox Richardson) that people are now referring to the Reflecting Pool as the "strait of Warm ooze."
