An alcoholic toxic lesbian, maybe. Hell, Carol Sturka from Plur1bus is about 3/4 of the way to being a Bond, just make her British and throw in some weapons training.

The one thing I do appreciate about the US is that no other culture I have ever encountered would produce a folksong where the devil challenges a kid to a duel in an obvious morality play about hubris and then the kid just absolutely kicks his ass and wins the fiddle
Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

I think that's a reflection of how weak leadership actually is in the senate and particularly under Schumer
if the _minority whip_ is defecting, then you simply do not have a senatorial party

I'm told Sen. Ted Cruz led this effort. Senate Judiciary Committee Democrats weren't consulted on the addition of this language, per a source familiar. Committee's top Dem, Dick Durbin, was among the 8 Ds who voted to advance the spending measure last night.

Schumer is really an anti-leader, a vacuum of leadership, and as far as I can tell he draws his support from that. He doesn’t ask anything of anyone, he never squeezes anyone on a hard vote, he’s always the first to cave.
He’s the substitute teacher the kids love having because they can goof off.

Every day a majority of Democratic Senators wake up and decide to continue supporting Chuck Schumer as their leader

Why is the "we must be united!" hectoring directed at people who are mad at the Cavers and not to the Cavers? Everyone who's mad was united, then the Cave Caucus walked across the aisle and betrayed what the public had been told was the Dem position.
The sooner we get past internal recriminations and back to fighting united, the better off we all are — the likelier our victory next November.

They did this with the DC budget line item in March too. The Senate passed it and the House ignored it

Everybody talks as if this is impossible, but all Democrats need is the will to power. Which is to say, the will to admit DC as 250 states so we can rewrite the constitution at will
Abolish the Senate. I am absolutely dead serious.
Shaheen: "We've heard from a number of our colleagues on the other side of the aisle that they're willing to come to the table, they're willing to work with us once the govt is open to get this done. We've heard the same thing from the White House. So now we'll see if they're really gonna work w/us"

I mean fundamentally a huge problem is that they're all stuck in a miserable institution that doesn't work because they all prioritize their own power and comfort over the ability to actually pass legislation so they become chummy because what else is there to do when you're all bored to tears
