Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
The revolution will be supervised.
Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.
We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.
This fight is for everything.
Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.
“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”
The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.
That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.
Everybody saw this coming.
Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.
So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.
Republicans in disarray!
… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact
After roe, women are no longer free.
The willow is too close to the house.
Being the leader of the world means to be the leader of peace.
Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.
Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.
Damn right I heard that as a threat.
Balloon Juice has never been a refuge for the linguistically delicate.
Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.
Nothing worth doing is easy.
Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.
I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

Those “obstructionis Republicans”…heh.
Nice to see the Dems doing this.
Oh..and “chickenhawk” this.

Christ, you mean we’re actually going to win one?

At the very least, we’re headed for a draw. It’ll be fun to see Republicans try to filibuster lobbying reform or watch the President veto yet another bill. It’ll be even more fun to see this bill come up twice and see how many Congresscritters change sides. The only bill that should come up more often than Lobbying Reform on the Democratic hotplate of feel-good legislation is the Iraq War.
It’s one of those things that always gets talked about but never gets passed. I want to see Republicans vote on it again, and again, and again, and again.

Bring it.
Great reference, btw, Tim.

My second-favorite John Carpenter movie starring Keith David.
Doug
A “They Live” reference is always going to make me happy.
Dave
oh that’s a picture from a Movie? I thought it was Tim showing off his latest addition to his arsenal.
Good on the Dems.
phenix

I LOVED “They Live”…and it’s political take. Doug – thanks for the link.
Tim F.
No, unfortunately international conventions ban be from stockpiling Keith David.

Ya don’t always need the sunglasses to spot ’em. Doesn’t BillO look like one 24/7?

Do the phrases “I just cannot believe any of this voodoo bullshit.” or “You believe any of this voodoo bullshit, Blair?” ring a bell?

“They Live” is one of the great 80s sci-fi films, it perfectly channels the Reagan era zeitgeist, and FYI the other Keith David/John Carpenter film is the best sci-fi/horror film ever–other than Alien–“The Thing.”

Please. Everyone knows ultra-liberals like Tim are scared of guns.
capelza
My ultra-libertarian cat is afraid of the squirt gun I keep around for “her own good”.
Tax Analyst
Totally agree! Good choices…Carpenter’s re-do of “The Thing” was incredibly well-done…the landscape and everything about else about it was so completely bleak…you really didn’t want it to work out so badly for all concerned, but you kinda knew it would. “Alien” absolutely creeped my ass out – and then freaked it out when the beastie popped out of John Hurt’s chest.
RSA
You had to know someone would put the fight scene from They Live on Youtube.
tBone
Fixed for redundancy. Cats are genetically ultra-libertarian.
I keep a Spray Bottle of Doom around too. Never know when one of those little buggers will decide to go feral because you were 30 seconds late filling their food bowl.
RSA
Or because you’ve petted them for five seconds too long.
Zifnab
Or looked at them funny

What I don’t understand is why they don’t just adopt the R tactic of stacking the conference committees so you get 1-2 republicans who already support your position anyway or who can be marginalized by the rest of the Dems.
Tim F.
The bills don’t get to conference committee. You need a vote on several procedural steps along the way, and each step can be filibustered.
