Eta: also, suchbongs was never a "democrat" in the first place. As a theocrat, he always only impersonated a voter.

I was just saying, this sounds like what we were saying after Trump got elected. Not beefin, just making an observation.
We good?

Also, yeah about SFAD, but either way... dude shoulda voted. Not voting was not an answer.

I hear ya. All that talk of not normalizing, and the Capital Hill Dems pretty much did exactly that.

[Skuj]

They should be doing everything in their power to STOP the next SCOTUS nominee prior to Nov elections. McConnell cannot have it both ways.

Democrats Are Going To Be Pissed......does she plan to spend 2 Billion in 2020?

[Skuj]

There is NO FUCKING WAY that she will run again, and New York Post is .......what exactly is it?

Edit: "In 2017, the New York Post was reported to be the preferred newspaper of U.S. President Donald Trump,[79][80] who maintains frequent contact with its owner, Rupert Murdoch.[80] "

LOL.

that's one we likely won't win, we can hope for some fatal illnesses in Alito, Roberts, Thomas, though. Roberts already had a pretty significant health scare.

I agree fighting nom is a losing battle. And yet...

I'm headed to Sen Rob Portman's office on Tuesday. I kinda have to. I mean, I won't face a fine or anything, but it would be bad form. I REALLY don't want to. I have better things to do. Better things to protest actually.

It's pointless. But I have to. But it's pointless. But...etc

Gets worse. I need a letter. I'm suppose to deliver a letter to him re: SCOTUS nom. No idea what to say. None.

Ideas?

Someone do my homework.

no not beefing. just trying to point that the job is not an easy one. and everyone needs to do their part and even then it won’t be guaranteed

but you know, the battle of stalingrad took like 2.5 million deaths and it turned hitler back

this is clearly a metaphor

all im saying is it’s gonna take a shittttttttttttttton of individual efforts to add up to a victory, and even then who knows, because i’m not sure yet what’s the strategy

and im absolutely not saying “give up and die”. i’m just vaccinating against the inevitable frustrations ahead.

i’ll play

gimme some background

PM preferrable to avoid googability but whatever works for you

[Skuj]

Yeah, I just think the Lay Down And Die attitude of the current Dems leadership, even if they feel Team Trump will get their way anyway, is no way to breath life into The Cause.

FIGHT!!!

McConnell is clearly one of the worst human beings ever.

Oh, I don't care who knows, as far as I'm concerned.

Trump will announce SCOTUS nom tonight. Tomorrow, a bunch of people will go to Senator Rob Portman's (R) office to protest. That's it.

(But protest who? Why?)

I guess when you go to any Senator's office, they make you fill out a form about why you're there. Instead, we're all supposed to deliver a letter. "Don't rubber stamp the nom" should be the main thrust of the letter, I guess.

I don't know. Feels pointless. Can't generate any enthusiasm for this.

[!@#$%!]

yeah that’s often the price of being a foot soldier i these wars. you’re sent on absurd missions. but remember stalingrad.

anyway i saw the guy’s website. i’d say appeal to his conservative principles in your letter.

Will do.

Of course, it might get called off.

Trump could nominate a sensible moderate with a long history of fighting for just causes, right? Right?

i dont like false hopes. my approach is wait and see and deal. of course everything is possible, some things are more probable, but we won’t know until we know

It’s the NY Post. Grain of salt.

[Skuj]

I know Peltor will be pissed at us for dismissing that "story" right off the bat because it is NY Post. But holy fuck, just look at that rag. How can seemingly intelligent people quote anything from it? This is what baffles me the most in these Trumpy Times. Can't people see really bad/false journalism when it hits them on the head?

Absolutely, grain of salt everything......or as Dead-Air aka Ricardo Wang often says on his radio show, “always use discretion.”

Not long after Hillary lost her bid for President, many speculated CNN would give her a weekly talk show. It would keep her relevant and on voters minds until she announced she was running in 2020. Instead, she ended up in another country speaking to a room full of muslims, telling them how she lost because many American women aren’t allowed to think and vote for themselves......instead they are stuck doing their husbands bidding.

I believe this was the last we heard from Hillary regarding the election. Our buddy Skuj is often clamoring about the Dems and why no one is stepping up. Far as I can tell, they have no current front runner......possibly Bernie?

I sure hope it’s someone other than bitter Hillary!

Why would I be pissed?

I could care less......other than I would rather see anyone but Hillary run in 2020.

I don’t read The Post, I shared the story because it held the top spot at Drudge this weekend and I thought it could possibly lead to discussion.

However, I wasn’t surprised at all by your quick dismissal as it’s what you regularly do here: Hanity Talking Points, Fox News, Trump Tweets.

[Skuj]

Peltor, I will send you $100US if Clinton announces she is running again, ok?

Will you send me anything if she doesn't?

(And, I agree with Clinton on what many women did!!)

(I also agree with you on one point - ie who do the Dems have? It's summer 2018 for fuck sake!!)
