    Yes. She was the bisexual atheist in a tutu protesting against wars.

    Now she mostly plays dress-up to draw attention to herself. And never, ever, ever talks to the media.

    Manchin playing hardball again. It's not going to pass.

    This is the Democratic Party for you. They're so fucking bad at this.

    It's going to pass. Manchin is apparently going to vote yes on two amendments on unemployment insurance that directly contradict each other, allowing both to pass and leaving it to Schumer to decide if they are compatible. I mean, do these guys ever see just how silly these parliamentary dodges are? You're grown men and women in positions of major responsibility and you spend time playing these incomprehensible games? What a waste of time. I'd make a very poor Senator, because on about my second day I'd stand up and say "this is fucking stupid, those of you who aren't total assholes are wasting your lives and I resign!"

    Why resign, Gee? Stay and expose every piece of dirty laundry. You'd be a party and Senate outcast, but I'll bet the people in your state would love it — and keep sending you back to Washington.

    It's like a few of the Dems figure they also have to play the part of "reasonable Republican" in this whole thing since there is no one else willing to take the role.

    Oh Oh, GOP down a vote.



    Sen. Dan Sullivan, a Republican from Alaska, has left Washington, DC, to return to his home state, according to a GOP source familiar with his travel.

    He did vote earlier Friday on the minimum wage amendment.

    CNN has reached out to Sullivan’s office for comment on the decision to travel.

    His departure adds to the challenges facing the GOP in trying to delay and amend the Covid-19 relief bill championed by the White House and currently stalled in the Senate. ​

    Nice dodge. He supports it passing without having a vote on record.

    But to expose their lies and hypocrisy, with documentation? Fuck yeah, sign me up for that. And if I get a chance to beat the shit out of Hee Hawley, even better.

    For all their whining about "this isn't bipartisan" and parlimentary procedures, where is the Republicans' covid relief plan? It feels like the battle for health care all over again. Not Trump's promise of "the greatest health care," but the creation of Obamacare. Perhahps another corporate bailout?

    I fear it's SSDD for McConnell and Co. anyway. Why make a plan when you can just criticize what the other guys are doing? Wimps in elephant's clothing.
