I am so sick and tired of hearing Joe Manchin's name.

I’m starting to think he’s the most naive and proudly ignorant adult walking the face of the Earth. He’s fixated on everybody being nice and getting g along in the Senate, and he has absolutely ZERO idea of the kind of weasels and jackals he’s actually dealing with.

He thinks they want to play fair. Boy is he smokin’ something.

Nothing wrong with considering things like this now.

And NOT, as you so aptly put it, when the “barbarians are at the gate.”

More and more, I find myself thinking “what would the CONS do in a case like this?”

Maybe we need to start thinking like a republi-CON. They are as devious as can be, they are sneaky and slippery and, dammit, they make it work! And look how much they get away with! Why aren’t WE thinking and manipulating and maneuvering like THEY do? Because they gain ground. And we lose. And they keep gaining ground. And they keep playing hardball and sneaky ball and all kinds of slippery shit, and they succeed! And they play us for absolute fools.

And I’m frankly sick and tired of that!

Sounds gorgeous!

But then again, all dogs are pretty doggone beautiful.

Never forget what one trump insider said: "cruelty is the point."

If they felt it was fitting when it came to imprisoning children after having separated them from their parents, then why wouldn't it be the operating policy elsewhere in their sphere of influence, also?

By now, I've come to expect the worst of this bunch - from trump all the way down through the fetid bowels of the republi-CON party.

Saves time.

K&R and bookmarking so I can find this later.

Thanks for posting it, Budi!

Glad to see the Lincoln Project folks haven't retired yet.

Nothing will "sweeten this little hand" for any of 'em.

They have crime, sin, disgrace, even blood on theirs.

About calimary

Female. Retired. Wife-Mom-Grandma. Approx. 30 years in broadcasting, at least 20 of those in news biz. Taurus. Loves chocolate - preferably without nuts or cocoanut. Animal lover. Rock-hound from pre-school age. Proud Democrat for life. Ardent environmentalist and pro-choicer. Hoping to use my skills set for the greater good. Still married to the same guy for 40+ years. Probably because he's a proud Democrat, too. Penmanship absolutely stinks, so I'm glad I'm a fast typist! I will always love Hillary and she will always be my President.
