    But we tried to fight it

    And what, pray tell, did the alternative get us?

    Obama: Kim does nuclear stuff, coup sends Ukraine to civil war, Putin takes Crimea, regime change sends Libya into chaos.
    26,000 US bombs dropped in 2016 alone.

    Can't wait for the carnage to start again, all for the joy of feeling good about ourselves when we "talk tough to dictators." :rolleyes:

    You can create endless equivalencies that aren't actually equivalencies.

    I personally would like a president who doesn't praise dictators, enlist their help for his corrupt financial benefit and ambitions, and who hasn't turned our relationships with other countries into a series of transactional scams where anything that benefits him personally is on the table.

    McConnell and Co. could have just said in 2016 “what we’re doing is legal.” and it would be correct and understandable. They’d get ripped on for that, but it was understandable.

    Instead, he and his ilk sold it as “let the people decide”, now are unhappy that we’re taking their rhetoric literally, and are upset that Warren and Co. are also using emotional language to sell the public on the idea. Tough shit.

    More cool stats from the Election Project, first from Georgia.

    Almost 260,000 mail ballots returned and accepted already are from voters who did not participate in the 2016 election. That's 27 percent of the 960,000 total returned and accepted as of yesterday.

    2.75 million Georgians have already voted, or 39 percent of all registered voters. The big five Atlanta counties account for 45 percent of the state's total.

    On the other hand, only a third of Californians who requested ballots by mail have returned them. Still, that's 7.4 million ballots accepted.

    No mention of his party until the eighth graf. Should've been on first reference to his position.

    Oh, it’s a disaster.

    Expanding the court in vengeance would be something else.

    To me McConnell personifies selfishness, a true dark heart. To get to who he’s become takes compromises I’m surprised Democrats want to make.

    So what would you do, given the Democrats win the Senate and the White House?

    Senate Republicans proved that they are willing to simply sabotage the courts and sit on the judicial nominees of the duly elected President.

    Is this just how it's going to be when the Senate and White House are controlled by opposite parties? The nomination process stops?
