I have no time to read the comments, so forgive me if I repeat something, or missed some news,

I've lived in California for 41 years, now. For a substantial fraction of that time, DiFi has been one of my Senators. During that period, on many issues, she has been total shit. But, every six years, I've still voted for her*, because the Republican alternative has been not just worse, but <i>vastly</i> worse.

I've met her a couple of times, and have had correspondence with her (or her staff). I don't think she is particularly bright, or particularly liberal. And a lot of her political success is due to the fact that she's married to her own personal billionaire.

On the other hand, even when she's telling you that you are a worthless scum-sucking worm, she is unfailingly polite. To actually rile up Dianne, you have to be some kind of special. Congratulations to Ted Cruz for accomplishing something I never did.

*Strictly speaking, I didn't vote for her in 2012, because I had vowed after her vote to approve Mukasey that I would never vote for her again. But I knew perfectly well that she would win re-election without my vote.

The line is an old one - "Actuaries are accountants without the personality."

There can be no compromise or negotiation when you're right.

Is he a pathological liar? If not, his candidacy would be such a refreshing change from what we endured last year...

The willingness to do that for America proves you're one of the good ones we gotta save, before detonation.

DiFi doesn't have to get these assholes' approval to keep her job.

The prestige of that accomplishment must've really tanked over the preceding six or seven years.

They'll trash her no matter what verb she uses. She could read an entire NRA gun safety course manual and they'd savage everything from her pronounciation to her tone.

I have no evidence that he is like Rick Perry, to wit, a goat fucker. But he is Canadian so he may be a moose fucker.
