"... left-wing special interest group ..."Let's see, that particular special interest group would be, oh yeah, the people of the United States of America.

Charlie was a hell of a lot better at that part than Ashton was.

When will Democrats learn to just shut their eyes, lay back and try to enjoy the buggery?

Mitch McConnell is absolutely correct stop turning bipartisan bills into fights over cultural issues. Take the Abortion language out of an Anti Human Trafficking bill and we can end this argument Quickly

I think their calculation is that as long as they have the Beltway political press on their side (and they do, oh yes they do, through thick and thin), they not only don't lose anything through their various acts of bilious lunacy, obstructionism, and outright fascist knavery--they actually gain.

This is a very safe bet.

With the likes of Chuck Todd and Ron Fournier and Jonathan Karl there to revise and extend the first draft of history, even the most deranged Republican--even the most overt fascist, the most reeking hypocrite, the most sold-to-the-billionaires corruptoid--really has very little to worry about. The ink-stained wretches will find a way to suggest that it's all Obama's fault for--well, something--or else Nancy Pelosi did something different-but-the-same one time so you can't say one single word about the GOP, or whatever.

Then they will get back to covering Hillary's emails, Hillary's hair, Hillary's age, Hillary's husband, and Hillary's critics ("we can't help ourselves---there's a Clinton narrative!" Chuck Todd cries excitedly, "and it's like catnip for political reporters!"), or else rhapsodizing over what a brilliant and inspired politician that handsome young Tom Cotton fella is turning out to be.

Feh.

People who decide there are different categories of rape -- some of them more "legitimate" than others -- knowingly jam nasty things into a bill, without anyone's consent?

America shouldn't have been dressing that way. *

* America dressing slutty = allowing the corporation-people to purchase all the media and subsequently, all the matching political machinery.

Hey Gamera has teeth! Obviously a Kentucky Turtle couldn't be a stand-in no matter how many spikes you strap to his shell.
