As I’ve said before… this is my happy place…
One year from today, the next president will begin her first full day of work. She’ll inherit a government in crisis, infected by corruption, and will need the expertise and drive to rebuild it and ensure it works for the people. I've got a plan for that. https://t.co/UqWX9Zm0HT
— Elizabeth Warren (@ewarren) January 21, 2020
I’ve said this repeatedly but I think this is the best campaign message against Trump. The Democratic candidate needs to go hard against 3+ years of normalizing absolute corruption and highlight the scale of the work necessary to fix it. https://t.co/7ccY9VRCLs

Le Comte de Monte Cristo, fka Edmund Dantes
The amendment overturning Citizens United should be called the Alito Amendment. In the text itself, it should include a phrase referencing Scam Alito mouthing “not true” at Obama for predicting exactly what happened.
Let the lying, mendacious, piece of shit corrupt cocksucker wear it for eternity, and to know about it while he’s alive.

@debbie: Me too. My big fear, if/when the Dems are in power again, is that they’ll assume it’s enough to govern well, and that the public just wants to put it all behind them. If the GOP never face consequences besides the ballot box, they will just keep doing what they’re doing, because clearly the ballot box is not a deterrent. Hell, they can just suppress the vote and steal the elections in that case.

I’m not sure that electability (or lack of) is an argument that Warren, or anyone, can really win. It seems to boil down to people saying “The candidate I like is more likable than the candidate you like, so you should vote for the candidate I like instead of the one you like.” It’s trying to argue people’s feelings, which tends to go nowhere.
Rather unfortunate that electability seems to be Biden’s greatest strength.

FDR was an aberration. So was Obama – whose great failure was to leave in place the same “malefactors of great wealth” who decanted the “Tea Party” & made it impossible for him to govern & then blamed him for the failure. He set things up to bring the banksters & the health insurance gougers in for a soft landing & they said, Thank you very much for saving the system, now give us back everything we had – & when he didn’t or couldn’t they savaged him unmercifully.

Let’s face it, the pattern is that we only elect Dems when there are massive crises.
Many years ago, my brother noted that, in our home county, Rethugs would get elected, then turn everything to shit. Voters would sweep them out, leaving Dems to clean up the mess. Since “cleaning up the mess” usually involved various measures (e.g., tax increases) that voters didn’t like. the Dems would thereupon get voted out, then the cycle would start over.

Today’s dilemma. My daughter visited Peru, and brought me back some super-fancy chocolate, single-origin, fair-trade, organic, the whole nine yards (I love chocolate.) Sealed in a foil wrapper, as it should be (not wrapped, actually sealed.) I opened it and found several dead insects, look like typical Indian mealworms, two adults and at least one larva. So – do I brush off the insect stuff and eat the chocolate? I mean, people eat insects in Latin America (I have, too, when I visited.) Clearly they weren’t meant to be there, but this is good chocolate… I hate to toss it in the trash.

Yesterday. I watched it happen yesterday. Younger lawyer- I like him and he’s not a liar- got a little agitated and made something up at hearing. I corrected him and magistrate ordered him to submit a doc to her to show what he said was true. He (wisely) admitted he had been mistaken immediately after hearing because there is no doc showing this- he made it up. A quick apology is the best fix. This is just a case management hearing at a county court in the middle of nowhere. These guys are in there lying their asses off in front of the chief justice at 1000 an hour and nothing happens. Is this how it’s supposed to work? Higher standards for the lesser beings?

Even when I have been up against or partnering with some of the hootie hoos of the legal establishment, they adhered to real serious standards. They may have been crafty, but lying or fabricating facts or evidence really wasn’t part of their tool box. Because the personal stakes were so high for being called out and proven to be a liar. It was (still is?) career suicide.

Otherwise there’s not much of note with regards to his positions, so if any primary challenge did happen it would be more on the basis that it’s a D+36 district so you could get a hard left candidate in there pretty easy, just as long as you win the primary. Unlike Henry Cuellar who should be primaried because he’s got some pretty shit positions even before you consider he’s in a D+9 district.

My understanding is that Chief Justice Roberts has never been a simple, ordinary court judge presiding over a trial, so this is his first whirl at it. No wonder it isn’t going that well, he let the Rs get out of hand from the get-go, and it eventually led to the Dems blowing off steam, at which point he had to jump in.
Hours too late and a million dollars short.
