On the one hand, I'm inclined to agree (in principle) with Rep. Porter. I have admired her appearances in hearing and on TV interviews. OTOH, he's the guy Biden wants (and trusts), and after approving a waiver for Mattis it's hard for me to see rejecting one for Austin.

What's wrong with your brain that you can't learn things that are repeatedly explained to you?

"this is your brain on conservatism"

How about the ICE Building? The Federal Courthouse?

You can't distinguish between a Federal Courthouse and the Capitol Building when the top three people in the line of succession to POTUS were in the building? A massacre in that place could have literally decapitated the government.

Nothing anything like that happened in Portland or anywhere else this summer.

The left is expecting her to champion the cause of wokeness and social justice.

What do you guys have against social justice? You seem to prefer social injustice (clue: we have that now)?

What other kinds of justice do you not like?

Well, it's going to be nice not to have anymore "fact checking" of a President for the next four years, since it's a Democrat in office and all..

You DO realize that e.g., Politifact has been fact-checking everybody since 2007, right? They were all over Obama, although he had a lot fewer (Pants-On-Fire) than the average Republican politician (cause they lie more).

Then maybe we need to put him in a hole and dump dung on him. See if he produces fruit next time.

In Republican ideology, the right to private property supersedes the right to life. "Downward" redistribution of wealth is anathema.

This is America. It's all about race. It's always all about race. For 400 years!

BTW: The entire point of the White Supremacy game (from the beginning) is to keep poor whites from finding common cause with blacks against the plutocrats.

Would defunding the police have led to a better outcome at the Capitol?

Although you clearly don't understand what people really mean when they talk about defunding the police, nobody ever suggested defunding the Capitol Police.

Putting aside the fact that Iranians wouldn't be able to fly into the U.S.,

Maybe she thought it was those guys from that "reality" show, "Shahs of Sunset".

You left out "Racist".

To start with, Trump is visiting Alamo, Texas, which is a small city near the Mexican border, between McAllen and Brownsville. The Alamo is located in the middle of San Antonio, over 350 miles North of Alamo, TX.

Yeah, but does he know that?

either they will eject Trump or they will cease to be a viable party.

I'm hoping for the latter. I don't believe the current Republican party can be saved. Those who are the loyal opposition should form a new party (like they did in 1860).

the Democratic party has sought to work with foreign governments to undo a democratic election as a means of implimenting socialism and cultural Marxism in the United States.

I want some of whatever it is you're smoking. Or maybe not, since it obviously causes paranoia.

Scarborough was so wound up he let go an F-bomb in that rant.

Under the Dems, the Senate would return to "regular order"

While people like Manchin still exist that's barely even a symbolic victory. Especially if Schumer gets the leader spot.

What it means is that bills sent from the House will get a vote, unlike today under McConnell. There will be Repubs who would vote for some of those bills, but McConnell refused to give them a vote. For example, the 2nd House COVID Relief Bill probably would have gotten enough R votes to pass along with all the Ds, but McConnell wouldn't let it proceed.

If they both win, the Senate will be 50:50, with the VP as deciding vote, Dems select the Majority Leader.

Such classy people, these Republicans...

Might be?

If we can ban certain words in spite of the First Amendment, why can't we ban certain guns in spite of the Second Amendment?

I have a friend who is a senior partner in a major radiology practice (he made BIG bucks), who informed me a few months ago that COVID was no big deal and that it was being "blown up" by the usual suspects. Actually, he's a former friend as I discovered he's a Trumper, and against BLM, too. We had never discussed politics over the years, so I had no idea he was so stupid.

Cruz and the others are just Trump's useful idiots.

How sad is it when you're the useful idiot of a useful idiot?
