Details here. Again- this is one person’s mother, so let’s not get too worked up…

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.
Let there be snark.
Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.
Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.
The words do not have to be perfect.
Optimism opens the door to great things.
Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.
Usually wrong but never in doubt
But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.
Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.
The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.
Fuck these fucking interesting times.
My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.
We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.
It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.
No one could have predicted…
Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.
Technically true, but collectively nonsense

I’d try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.
If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!
The worst democrat is better than the best republican.
We still have time to mess this up!

Roberts will be confirmed unless there is something we don’t know. Same thing I said on Day One. If I were a Dem senator, I’d vote to confirm based on what I know now.
Where’s the beef?
Mr.Ortiz
It’s Karl Rove! He’s trying to distract from his own troubles by smearing his own party’s nominee, and doing it so slopily it actually increases voter sympathy for Republicans. The man is a genius.
Okay, I don’t really believe that, but I wouldn’t put it past him either.

Is there a soul on the planet that thinks that Roberts won’t vote to overturn Roe?
ppGaz
Probably, but it won’t matter. The future of the American Experiment does not hang on Roe v. Wade. An overturn of Roe will not suffice to return us to 1967. All it would do is stir up the churn and inflame the partisans. When it’s all said and done, somewhere way down the road when the country is grown up, people will have some kind of “choice” (whatever you think that is) and other things will be a lot more important. On the grand and global scale of things, this issue is way down the the list. It’s only up on the list now because it’s politically useful for it to be.

I keep reminding people who start hyperventilating about this about something amazing which happened back when Casey v. Planned Parenthood was actually before the Court. A lot of “pro-life” Republicans started reporting having had “conversations” with their wives or daughters, and publicly reaffirming their general support for some form of an abortion right.
Had the Casey decision gone the other way that July, I’m quite certain that some form of the Roe test would have been back on the books before the beginning of the summer. But, to everyone’s surprise, Sandra Day O’Connor wrote a stunning decision, to vote to protect Roe, on the grounds that it was “settled law”.
Will Roberts vote against Roe? Quite possibly, although O’Connor’s wording is significant, given his own answers to questions. Will it be the end of the world? Not for American women, nor for the American experiment.
