Dunno. I'm not that brilliantly well up on American politics. I suspect it might've been around the time Republicans became completely petty, irresponsible, and lost the last trace of even their own concept of patriotism.

I suspected. Ginger Wentworth1 saying something like that and meaning it? When the Greek kalends finally arrive, maybe. (I'm acute that way.)

How'd you know I'm Greek and only observe the Kalends? I've been talking with these strange people at another disqus site-- a strange hospital site--on a thread to do with the vaccine and the vast conspiracy of gov't mouthpieces (and that includes Snopes!) Snopes and all the msm they're all lying! Didn't you know they're pushing this vaccine so Fauci can get his money?It's a terrible thing after a while, or, even at the very beginning. So much damage has been done. Just so the Mercer Family can keep it's money out of IRS hands?

"The current situation Cruz has created for his GOP colleagues captures the way that irresponsibility, the evasion of responsibility has become the centerpiece of GOP party ideology."

That was fucking Schumer's speech?!?!?! Dear god, from what I'd heard I had thought that Schumer had besmirched their bloodlines and cast devil's curses upon the heads of the rethug senators. THAT WAS IT?!?! He didn't even raise is voice with the gentle chiding he apparently dared to utter. JFC, get yourself a fainting couch Thune and take a soothing ride in your car elevator Romney. If you want a fucking cookie for not being a piece of shit and destroying the world then maybe Collins can stop "concerning" in Schumer's direction and she, Graham, and McConnell can make ya some snickerdoodles to calm your frazzled nerves after Schumer's "vitriolic" tongue lashing. JFC!

Here in Texas we are all mystified as well. He's universally loathed, but no D has won a statewide race in forfuckingever.

Fuck Ted Cruz.

I'm more than a little tired of "super" as an adverb, as in "super hard," but I thoroughly approve of "dickwad" as an adjective, especially applied to Ted Cruz.

Ted Cruz is wrong, again. Schumer was not "about to surrender." Instead, McConnell blinked. Schumer can afford to play a few brinkmanship games. We already know that when Republicans threaten to shut down the government for pointless partisan games, they suffer.

And Schumer will do it again in December. He'd love to use this issue as the wedge to crack the Filibuster, and it might just happen, if Senate Republicans continue being stupid and rebuff McDonnell the next time he does the sensible thing.
