The GOP are already shitting their collective trou at the thought of running with Trump hanging around their necks. <br /><br />Corker's (R-Tennessee!) recent description of the White House as an "Adult Day Care Center", is, I think, only the tip of the iceberg. Even though he's not running again, getting stuff like that out front will help. Over the next year, it'll be fun to watch McConnell and Ryan, etc., turd-polishing themselves cross-eyed. <br /><br />I mean, what are they going to brag about? <br /><br />Tanbarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14371486058838349902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-31073734591165097412017-10-09T15:40:51.671-05:002017-10-09T15:40:51.671-05:00Maybe it's finally time for an episode of The ...Maybe it's finally time for an episode of The New, Coastal Liberal Media Thingie That Will Be The Solution To Everything That Is Wrong With Our Political Media in which the uncomfortable conversation is between Liberals-Who-Have-To-Worry-About-Their-Careers-And-Not-Much-Else and Liberals-With-No-Careers-Who-Have-To-Worry-About-Everything-Else? <br /><br />That is the actual messy collision that will defeat Trump and start peeling back 30 years of Republic political fuckery. It is also probably the actual divide in the Democratic Party and not the Hillary/Bernie thing. <br /><br />Expecting the gaggle of conservative hacks and media careerists (seriously, has the signature on Steele, Wilson, Lowry, Pletka, Brooks, paychecks changed since November? my money is absolutely not) and the Chuck Todd's to do anything for Democrats is beyond naïve. <br />trgahanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04718897286384990852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-67165456059044371332017-10-09T10:06:20.892-05:002017-10-09T10:06:20.892-05:00Relative to Robert, I saw that about our half-doze...Relative to Robert, I saw that about our half-dozen casualties in Niger. I also take your point about the 4 whom were killed in Libya on Clinton's "watch", as SecState. Which leads me to remind other posters here about the 4500 of our troops who've died in "Operation Enduring Clusterfuck" (Which term..I'm not sure, but might have been another good zinger from Driftglass, years back…) as well as the hundreds of thousands of Iraqis who died, and ARE dying, in the worst and most dishonest foreign policy decision in our history. I would say that 90% of the carnage and chaos that is going on in the middle east just now, is a direct result of that. <br /><br />Surely it's not a lick amiss to keep track of that ongoing misery and it's enablers? <br /><br />Those 21 democratic senators and Lincoln Chafee, whom had the intelligence and courage to vote "no" on the War Authorization vote, at a time when "Let's go kill some rag heads!" was writ neon-sign large in the amurkan conscience ought to be remembered with every anniversary of the vote. <br /><br />Tanbarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14371486058838349902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-54132403264645738252017-10-09T08:30:52.238-05:002017-10-09T08:30:52.238-05:00Thank God St. Ronnie got rid of that awful Fairne...Thank God St. Ronnie got rid of that awful Fairness Doctrine so they don't have to have any icky liberals on.<br /><br />Could you imagine how rude and impolite they would be ?!<br />bowtiejackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03269786110593961195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-1908585350524177262017-10-09T03:10:23.336-05:002017-10-09T03:10:23.336-05:00Let me do what the other side does for a moment.

But it is precisely because we "believe it would have been [our] responsibility to ask Mr. Todd some very hard questions about how he and his caste have fucked the media up almost beyond redemption" that we would never have been allowed that sit-down even in the universe where we somehow got into the Big Club with that belief intact.
