Yes, sir.

Very sad.

yes, it's a sad commentary on the state of our politics that the stakes are so high and the margins so thin that one couldn't go without the other.

Gonzalez should have already been long gone by now.

Good riddance.

nypoet22 3 swalwell? Conspicuously absent. From what I've heard, there are apparently approximately two dozen plus women at issue (how many more?), and many of them are ex-staffers that were fired because they refused his advances with one claiming she was raped by him when she refused him. So now all 21 of the Democrats (most of them men) that had endorsed Swalwell have withdrawn those endorsements. That would never happen if he was a Republican; they'd protect him in the same manner they protect Donald Trump. If he's guilty, he'll also resign from Congress rather than face an ethics investigation. More men need to step up in defense of women. Save the "bro code" for the Guardians Of Pedophiles.

"Open the Fuckin' Strait, you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in Hell -- JUST WATCH. Praise be to Allah." Does anyone think the orange idiot knows that the God he claims to worship and Allah are the God of Abraham? The Jewish, Muslim and Christian faiths all worship the God of Abraham. What kind of so-called self-described Christian would mock the God to whom he claims he believes unless he was totally clueless regarding religious history? Who are the "crazy bastards" closing the Straight now? Rhetorical question. He followed this up on Tuesday with an even more insane message: "A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don't want that to happen, but it probably will." These are the rantings of a madman, quite obviously. Not to put too fine a point on it, but Trump is threatening to use the U.S. military to commit genocide. Trump is now bragging that the written criminal threat quoted above actually got Iran to the negotiating table. I guess the "crazy bastard" forgot that Iran was actually already at the negotiating table when Trump illegally started a war without consent from Congress as required by the United States Constitution.

i think it's harder to figure Fetterman out. he's certainly been disappointing Democrats recently, but there's no obvious reason why. manchin was a conservative from a conservative state. sinema was so cartoonishly mercenary there was never any doubt. with Fetterman there's a story that isn't getting told. he's had a stroke. maybe it's like RFK Jr and his brain worm. swalwell on the other hand, i guess cw just wasn't watching the news on Friday.

So can you help me understand the continued absence of ANY comment by CW in these FTP columns? He was incessant in bashing Sen. Sinema - and, if I recall correctly, couldn't resist bashing her recently about the alleged affair with her bodyguard (NB: long after she had left office).

It seems that Fetterman proved himself to be the newest iteration of Senator Manchinema. What a disappointment!

For the umpteenth time, one Senator deserves the MDDOW:
'Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman said Wednesday that President Donald Trump’s recent military actions in Iran have "made the world safer," offering a stark contrast to criticism from other Democratic lawmakers.

"Usually, the Iranians only respond [to] power . . ." Fetterman told "Hannity."'

I agree wholeheartedly with the MIDOW.

An honorable mention goes to the House Democrats for theatrics, reinforcing that their GOP colleagues are spineless lackeys to the Stable Genius:
'During a House pro forma on Thursday, Rep. Glenn Ivey (D-Md.) tried to interrupt the proceedings to demand the House vote on a War Powers Resolution. It didn’t work: Rep. Chris Smith (R-N.J.) ignored him and banged the gavel.

Still, Democrats made a spectacle of the proceedings, with a half dozen lawmakers attending the session and then speaking to reporters on the House steps afterward.'
