We're 10 years into this and I'm still keeping the neocons marooned on useful idiot island.

Or Beavis and Butthead

You can vehemently disagree with your spouse without demeaning them in public in front of a stranger, your son, and a televised audience.

(Sorry if I’ve mentioned this before)

There’s a BBC segment from ‘16 that haunts me. Reporter interviews PA couple with one son about the election. Husband just trashes wife’s support for HRC, makes it sounds laughable that anyone could vote for Hillary. Wife, visibly annoyed, makes her case. Son smiles and says he’s pro-Trump.

Martin isn’t as bad as Cillizza. But he’s not much better either.

But no upcoming holidays to up the pressure on Republicans. Plus they might be better prepared to combat it in the media.

Dems managed to drift into this shutdown and do well (up until today) despite the lack of a coordinated strategy.

“realistic” kept coming up.

Making GOP Senators choose between the filibuster and a year of ACA subsidies starts by actually forcing said choice.

Privately conveying to Republicans that you don’t believe you’ll do that probably doesn’t help.

“Ok, we’ll finally fight” was the consensus that lead into the shutdown.

Force Republicans to nuke the filibuster was not.

Nonetheless, it’s a disappointing outcome. I’m curious if Thune would have broke and nuked it before Thanksgiving.

Hawley’s faux populist credentials get another boost.

I want to fall forward 2 hours.

Besides the sunset benefits, imagine how productive you’d feel if you’d been up for 3 hours before sunrise.

Probably the last genuine Rockefeller Republican to serve in GOP presidential administration cabinet.

Had to be baffling to leave with Ford and come back in with the Bush administration when the Republican radicalization was almost complete.

Paul O’Neil’s signature dated it for me before I saw the year

I just feel sorry for the next Coast Guard commandant that’s going to find an improvised sex dungeon in his/her official residence when those two vacate.

@jamespmanley.bsky.social Is there something preventing Democrats from highlighting their affair?

IE, refer to Noem as “Corey Lewandowski’s sugar mama”

Or facetiously say “Noem would never lie. Not to the public. Not to Congress. And certainly not in vows of matrimony made before God in a church.”

Also fine, keep it and compromise with Democrats.

It’s worthless if leverage only goes one way.

It works fine for kids <12

Is he still in Hungary hanging out in male bathouses … for reasons?
