I'm bored waiting for tests to run at work so here's a hot take I believe but am not especially committed to: listening to audiobooks isn't actually equivalent to reading the books because having a narrator eliminates the work of interpreting the tone of the text

I think I've finally settled on a point of reference of Sliwa's vibe, and it's "French reactionaries who joined the Resistance out of outraged nationalist pride", which is helpful because those people both a) were useful and b) sucked shit

in retrospect Jar Jar was a surprisingly accurate and insightful depiction of a Senator in Episode 3 tho
Again, we are talking about a movie that prominently features Jar Jar Binks.
How shocking that a writer for The New York Times is so pissy about a trilogy of movies that deal with political corruption

guess I should call my two slightly less worthless than some of their peers senators and demand to know why they haven't already voted to remove Schumer and Durbin from leadership

I heard from a bunch of federal employees last night and this morning. They aren't happy.
"I would rather be an actual pawn. At least pawn sacrifices are calculated and achieve something. All this for a fucking meaningless vote."

At some point we may need to consider the possibility that these people are literally on the payroll of (or having their families held hostage by) Trump, because it's honestly hard to believe anyone is *actually* this fucking stupid
Hassan: With the government reopening shortly, Republicans now finally have to come to the table. Or make no mistake, Americans will remember who stood in the way.

the GOP has been gnawing at the foundations of liberalism that keep us out of the war of all against all. I understand the desire not to acknowledge that, because what it implies is horrifying, but at some point you have to

I mean the theory of victory there is not actually hard to understand, it's just that nobody wants to say their theory of victory is "the final resort implicitly left open to the People by the Constitution is a mutiny"

They literally didn't believe Trump would do anything but surrender (because obviously they'd have been tripping over themselves to surrender) so they had absolutely no plan for what to do if he was fine burning the country down
i think also senators are incredibly wigged out about airways, snap, and federal works (AFGE is absolutely why Kaine jumped on this grenade)

Senate Democrats are a political science experiment to determine whether it's still possible for a major American party to become so hated that it collapses and is replaced
I still kinda think it’s going to be D+12 in a year because the orange god king is determined to to be a blansas sized political suicide bomber

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

Given what a shitshow this is, Schumer should resign as minority leader regardless of the outcome because he's clearly completely lost control of his own caucus

The only deal anyone should actually accept is "Trump and Vance resign, with an extra-Constitutional election to replace them in which they may not run held in January."

Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"
