Since McConnell has to follow Biden's rule, what other Biden rules are there?

Gotta be some good ones we could push Mitchie on!

If issues were raised about trump's qualifications on selecting a nominee...

And it went to the supreme court, wouldn't Gorsuch have to recuse himself? 4-3 liberal majority in that case.

Just wondering when a republican will introduce a bill outlawing the nazi flag?

That would be hell for a conservative running for office or re-election:

Vote for outlawing = loss of trump's base.
Vote against = opposition's wet dream.

Need some help and direction regarding domain name gop.care

A close friend and Democrat registered the domain name gop.care a few months ago. He left messages with the Communications office of the DNC several times, offering the domain as a donation, but never received a reply.

Based on the Senate's action today, he really wants to see an organization benefit from using the domain to counter the gop's efforts. I suggested mentioning it in DU.

We're hoping someone here has access to someone who could do something with it. It doesn't have to be the DNC - he just wants the domain name make a difference, and to know the organization he would donate it to would really use it. Short of that, any suggestions I'll happily pass along to him.

In this environment, it could make a difference.

Thanks!

Pretty empty apology when you first wait to see if you win.

Gianforte is the swampthing.

Tom Coburn just on MSNBC

That guy is a pure, full blown idiot.

Doesn't trust polls. Doesn't trust research. Doesn't trust factual numbers. Does trust insurance companies.

That's exactly what's wrong.

It takes a special kind of stupid...

...to make what you're fighting against more attractive than your alternative.

These Republicans, wow. Another new low.

Analogy to election, Russian involvement, and Republicans

You come home late in the day after your landscape company installed new sod, and the yard doesn’t look like what you’d expected.

A quick glance as you pull into the driveway leads your eye to a front window - your home office - blinds drawn that had been closed for months. Further, the second you step out of your car, your neighbor rushes over in a panic, telling you he saw the crew slip inside your house through a window, and come out with things they didn’t enter with.

He states he called the police, they did find signs of intrusion, and suggested asap to check your house for anything missing.

Just then, the owner of the landscaping company pulls up, and goes into an immediate flame-out about how ridiculous it was to call the police, calling them incompetent liars - his breath laced with alcohol.

You recall how, during the sales call, he’d joked about checking your fridge for beer, and seemed quite curious as to what you do.

Continuing his diatribe, your landscaper insists that you show him evidence of any theft or illegal entry before you walk inside the house. “You can’t!” he says, “so there’s no reason to look inside. Wanna go grab a bite?”

You consider his request, jump in his truck, and head for Hardees.

The strange sod. The blinds. Your neighbor. The police. The alcohol. His crazed denial. His obsession with you not going inside to check for belongings missing.

Never mind any of that – what’s important to you is that your yard looks different, a welcomed change - and perhaps he'd do the backyard for the same price.

Oh, and you really like french fries.

Reading Trump's tweets - are we sure the US is not being punked?

I've had my eyes open for the last several months, and I know how disastrous Trump is. But my mind simply can't accept an soon-to-be POTUS handling himself this way.

".@CNN is so embarrassed by their total (100%) support of Hillary Clinton, and yet her loss in a landslide, that they don't know what to do."

"@sdcritic: @HighonHillcrest @jeffzeleny @CNN There is NO QUESTION THAT #voterfraud did take place, and in favor of #CorruptHillary !"

So we have millions of illegal voters. Okay...

let's just damn the election results and start over.
