I never got the “that’s not enough” argument on the 1 year extension. Definitely not a fan of being purist. You chip away at his force field one meaningful win at a time. Issue here is I don’t think they got anything.

I'm not a political strategist, which makes it even more maddening that I can see this and the Democrats don't.

It's not like I'm going to pull the lever for autocrats, but it's not me they have to worry about. I'm high information and get the stakes. Masses of people aren't going to show up for people who think posturing about saving America is enough because what's the point of power if you don't use it?

What does being in the majority actually gain us when Trump can just say no and know Dems will fold? Only way through this is to make them own the pain they're causing. I hate it. I don't want pain. I'll do everything I can to help my neighbors in the meantime. But we are past good governance aims.

Well I'm a 49ers fan so I get to spend my weeks getting a dime store medical school education thanks to the injury report.

I am not a Bills fan but they would drive me crazy with their inconsistency.

I’m old enough to remember when interfering with state governments or decisions made by private companies would send conservatives to their fainting couches.

It's straight out of a nostalgia-laden Bart Giamatti speech about baseball.
