The HUGE pictorial wave of “I am American” #MitchPlease posts by black people on Twitter has been one of the most uplifting, empowering things I’ve ever seen in my life. Beautiful. I hope it goes on forever.
Feinstein needs to retire. She’s cuckoo for coconuts.
Bill Kristol is even more cuckoo.
I want Biden to nominate ANITA HILL.
That would be so exciting because you know if it even looked like she would be confirmed that Clarence would be running for the hills.
Considering the 51-50 Dem majority in the Senate rests entirely on absolute fucking fossils like 69,420 year old Leahy & Feinstein not dying, it is of the upmost importance to NOT delay in confirming Biden's pick. Because in the case of Leahy potentially dying, Vermont's governor is a Republican, and would immediately appoint a Republican Senator to his seat, gumming up the works until Leahy's seat opened up again, which will be this November...but serves no good b/c the Dems have a good chance of losing the Senate this November. You could say the same for Bernie as I'm sure some centrists in this thread would love to point out....but of the 3 senators mentioned here...who seems the most likely to drop dead...Leahy, Feinstein or Bernie? The first two looked like they walked off the set of Awakenings half the time.
Their concerns are even more serious than that...Sen Lujan (D-NM) had a stroke last week. I believe he's been released from the hospital following surgery but he's not in Washington. There's no proxy voting in the Senate so it's an even 50-50 if all other senators are present.
Edit: 4-6 weeks https://www.cnbc.com/2022/02/02/demo...or-stroke.html

yet another 'the call is coming from inside the house' article in regards to election fraud.
Trump Aide Matt Mowers Used Parents' Address To Vote Twice

and new news from Florida:
So if Lindsay Graham eats ham for Easter isn't it technically cannibalism?
This MTG trial is....something.
Police vids of him driving without a license, the infamous "orgies and key bumps" line and now a loaded gun in an airport. This dude is done. https://twitter.com/MollyJongFast/st...gd1PRLngw&s=19
boy I hate cryptic tweets like that. I don't see it because I only know the whole loaded gun thing, what are Republicans doing?
I'm presuming the tweets are alluding to the fact there seems to be little to no support for Cawthern from the GOP, they're just going to let him keep screwing up.
But, it takes two to tango and the dude...keeps screwing up. It makes sense for the party to cut ties with this one.
As awful as the Republican party is, they are still very likely going to win the House, maybe even the Senate. 2022 could look like 1994 this fall. Biden's shit approval ratings are going to cost his party. People think that if they vote republican gas prices will plummet, Putin will withdraw from the Ukraine, and inflation will be erased.
And then Biden will be a lame-duck for two years while the GOP bides its time.
Ohio Republican sees pregnancy after rape as an ‘opportunity’Ten years after Todd Akin and Richard Mourdock, Republicans are still making remarkable comments about pregnancies resulting from rape.
Yep, it's an opportunity all right. An opportunity to trap women into bringing unwanted children into this world after being subjected to such a horrific crime. Then those children will grow up resented and unloved, and with a dash of inadequate education, will become another Republican voter!
I mean do you really need to put the party affiliation in this kind of headline? seems par for the course lately.

Just... amazing...
Madison Cawthorn Concedes Before Primary Is Even Called
OK that's weird, right?
now we need Oz to lose, then Trump's 2 big picks would have lost.
as of now, he has less than a 1% lead.
I can't fathom voting for Dr. Oz. But people still voted for that snake oil salesman.
He’s not FROM Pennsylvania, people aren’t even sure he really LIVES in Pennsylvania.

awesome Justice Dem Jessica Cisneros is down by 75 votes right now w/95% votes in to that piece of shit Henry Cuellar in the Texas 28th Dem Primary. Cuellar is the only pro-life Dem in the House (and has a A rating from the NRA I believe), and recently had his offices raided by the FBI. Don't worry, that didn't stop Pelosi & Clyburn from stumping for him multiple times in person, defending him multiple times in interviews/fielding questions from reporters, and sinking tons of DCCC$ into the race to insure he stays in office. Dem leadership will barely lift a finger to solve the real problems facing this country, or to aggressively fight Republicans, but look at all the effort they give to make sure more progressives don't make it into office. Sickening.
Hopefully Jessica pulls it out. She's a great young candidate who could really speak to a different part of the electorate. I've donated a bunch to her both this time as well as two years ago, so I really want her to pull this out! If not, I hope she runs again in 2024 and take this corrupt disgrace out of office!
The Dems greedily fundraising off of everyone's understandable abortion-rights anxiety as Pelosi and Clyburn go all in to protect anti-choice Cuellar is some low fucking shit, even by their all but nonexistent standards. Clyburn (remember South Carolina in the 2020 primaries when Biden winning and his endorsement equaled "THE ENTIRE BLACK COMMUNITY HAS SPOKEN WE MUST RESPECT THEIR WISHES" in the eyes of so many blue checks?) has interceded in multiple primaries now on behalf of anti-choice incumbents. And despite an admirable showing by Cisneros it's looking like their dirty tricks and dark money may pull through for Cuellar. Just something else to minimize an already depressed Dem voter base.
Never underestimate the Dems ability to willfully and gleefully shoot themselves in the foot.
