What shameless and illogical BS!

You frame your politics as "A starting point," not "starting points." So what are the other mystery starting points (issues) that define your political movement? You never specifically mention any of them. One point is a single issue. You are a loner pushing a single issue political movement.

Backing up your singular focus, you call your Organization "OneDemand." The only demand you ever talk about is "take Big Money, Lose Our Votes." What policies follow that up?

If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck and looks a duck it is a duck, not a couple ducks, or a flock of ducks. You are a single issue movement.

Quite right about that one-issue voting, Bridge. :)

well, the only non-russian person, anyway...

Poor Comrade Benedict Donald Treasonous Trump is definitely Putin's bitch/puppet.

Air traffic controllers to Trump: "You stop our pay again, we'll cut your dick off."

Heh! Exactly.

Air traffic controllers to Trump: "You stop our pay again, we'll cut your dick off."

If you fuck up airports, people get pissed, and they usually know who to blame

It isn't like the public needed to be detectives, they probably just agreed with the guy who said on TV a couple of months ago "I am proud to shut down the government for border security, I will take the mantle. I will be the one to shut it down."

I also think it is short sighted to say that this isn’t impressive or doesn’t matter since it doesn’t involve getting money out of politics. That issue indirectly affects millions of lives in negative ways. But there are other issues that affect innocent lives as well. If the goal is a a more just and humane country with better quality of life for its inhabitants, well, lots of political issues have an impact on that goal. So I don’t think it is justifiable to be a single issue voter.

the point is not that nancy pelosi is a "wonderful person," it's that she's a superb politician, and is thus far the only person to go toe to toe with donald trump and make him back down. twice. well, the only non-russian person, anyway...

Thank you. That quote from Alexandra Pelosi has convinced me what a wonderful person Nancy Pelosi must be.

Well, you're certainly welcome, DH, and for my next trick, I'll be happy to post some of your quotes from comments that convinced virtually everyone on this board "what a wonderful person" you "must be."

How could I have been so wrong aboot her? :D

It's a habit of yours that is by no means restricted to her. :)

Is it possible we are moving (drifting? stumbling?) towards an informal American Regency Period during which the House and Senate leaders become functional co-Regents?

Under this Regency, Trump occupies the White House, sits in the oval office a few hrs per day, watches TV, most of the day, tweets his mind twice a day and signs whatever he is damn well told to sign by Regents Pelosi and McConnell...or else*. This might be more palatable to both political parties, most of the public and maybe even Trump himself, than the awkward alternatives of either an acrimonious impeachment or monthly government shutdowns. Better to hold The President hostage than to be held politically hostage by a President who is obviously a few bricks short of a load.

If it doesn't work out, well there is still impeachment or failing at that, at least less time until the next Presidential election.

* or else being the nuclear options of: 1) impeachment and conviction or 2) impeachment's fraternal twin, the 25th Amendment.

Clerk said "Sorry, I've only been working her 10 days, you gotta pay."

Now I'll never trust the asshole-in-chief again!

On schedule!? Oh, Hell no!

Paula is dead on correct that NPDP should offer Cave Man a SOTU date several weeks out and beyond February 15 that is contingent upon the government remaining open. Why? Because Trump is flailing miserably in his attempt to spin this as him taking care of the federal workers, which is pretty piss poor spinning when he's also promising to shut it down again if he doesn't get his way.

NPDP and Democrats should make it clear that Trump will not be allowed to take government employees as hostages.

She’ll cut your head off, and you won’t even know you’re bleeding. That’s all you need to know about her. ~ Alexandra Pelosi

"Impossible," you say? "Impossible" is not in the witch's vocabulary, and it'll be a riot to watch the witches try... I mean lie... and all that winning... I mean spinning. :)

And lying...repeatedly [I hate when that happens]... you mustn't forget the incessant lies... rhymes with pies. ;)

'let them eat cake' has been the mantra of government for too long. shouldn't we finally try something different? the only rational solution is pie.

The fact that Blotus was routed, not just by a Dem, but by a 78 year-old female Dem - priceless. (The fact that Repubs just wasted a lot of dough trying to defeat her in the midterms is additional gravy.)

The fact that Mitch McConnell spent the last several days in hiding, unable to manage Blotus and unwilling to defy him while Nancy went on TV every day and calmly held her ground - priceless.

The SOTU is still in limbo which is GOOD - she needs to hang onto that to help ensure Blotus doesn't back out in response to the pounding he's getting from all sides.

AND she just tweeted:

Roger Stone’s indictment makes clear there was a deliberate, coordinated effort by top Trump campaign officials to subvert the will of the American people during the 2016 Election.

Why has the Trump Administration continued to discuss pulling the U.S. out of NATO, which would be a massive victory for Putin?

The Special Counsel investigation is working, and the House will ensure that it can continue, free from interference from the White House. Read my full statement here: https://t.co/8OSuz3eq1w

She (and the House and Senate Dems) did good.

I'm waiting to hear all the noise about how dangerous a beast is when its cornered, how the Dems will have to 'appease' the president to salve his wounded feelings lest he declare war on Venezuela or New York City or something. (See his comment that he will definitely declare an "emergency" and build the wall if he doesn't get the money from Congress by mid-February.)
