Was so thrilled to see Lindsey Graham, Bill Cassidy, and Rand Paul all sucking off Donald Dump this weekend. We've got a long way to go as a country.

But I hope they understand how looking out for their own interests, they're continually showing how they don't give a **** about other people even if they consider themselves good people.

It's especially amusing that they pin stuff on abortion- all they can do is present "laws" that are constantly being over turn, and cut off people- as opposed to implementing real, legal, policy to encourage people to carry. Let alone being duped by the gun corporations.

The 9-to-5 supporters of the monsters of history weren't drooling psychopaths, they were people just like us who turned off their empathy and their humanity because of some ideological or tribal reason. Nazism isn't principles, it's behavior. Our contemporary Nazis, the conservatives, close their eyes to all the people they harm because of arbitrary reasons that have nothing to do with politics. Nazism isn't a political disorder, it is a mental disorder. It is not defined by political structure, it is defined as the act of being a moral person who justifies harming people because of (some nonsense "reason" which is irrelevant).
That's what we're fighting. People who burn the village to save it. People who justify auto de fe. People who lock kids in cages for any f-cking "reason."
American conservatism became Nazism when it unlinked from ethics and became self-propelled cruelty.

According to the CBO, Bernie’s plan to raise the minimum wage to $15/hr. would likely be permitted under a budget reconciliation plan. That means $11/hr. that Manchin may support in the next budget reconciliation will be feasible, barring the parliamentarian giving it a thumbs down.

BIG NEWS: the Progressive Caucus has secured the inclusion of a $15 minimum wage in the House's pandemic reconciliation package. This has been a leading priority for our caucus and would give 27 million (!) low-wage workers a raise."It's as if the Drumpf Administration is made up of the worst and unfunny parts of the Cleveland Browns, Washington Generals, and the alien Mon-Stars from Space Jam."

Senator Shelby (Q-AL) has announced he's retiring, and TX Rep Ron Wright died shortly after having been diagnosed with COVID-19 (they're not saying it's the cause of death). I expected more chatter on this stuff."The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." George Orwell, 1984

Why Shelby will be replaced by another crackpot and I am not sure anyone has heard of the other guy."It's as if the Drumpf Administration is made up of the worst and unfunny parts of the Cleveland Browns, Washington Generals, and the alien Mon-Stars from Space Jam."

To me, it just speaks more than ever that the DNC needs to work exceptionally hard to make Manchin irrelevant this mid-term; get enough seats in the majority (3 more?) and they won't have to make him the linchpin that he's become today."The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears.
