can we stop calling him a moderate yet

Again, WTF has he done to acquit himself as a moderate? I guess Pennsylvanians really bought the BS being spewed in his campaign ads.

I was stunned when it got out that Toomey might be a swing vote --- I mean, why would he be? He just won re-election, he's got 6 full years before he needs to face voters again, and by then this whole thing will be a distant memory.

I called, of course, but still.

On another note, I am in need of some serious cheering up. I looked all over the youtubes for comedy takes on Trump from the old reliables: Colbert, Stewart, Lewis Black, Bill Maher, everybody... and it just took me watching one after another and not laughing to realize I can't laugh about any of this, because there is nothing about that it is even remotely funny.

Trump is such a moron with 5X daily scandals that no one in here is talking about how he threatened military action against Mexico

"You have a bunch of bad hombres down there," Trump told Pena Nieto, according to the excerpt given to AP. "You aren't doing enough to stop them. I think your military is scared. Our military isn't, so I just might send them down to take care of it."

A person with access to the official transcript of the phone call provided only that portion of the conversation to The Associated Press. The person gave it on condition of anonymity because the administration did not make the details of the call public.

Mexico & the WH deny it, but AP generally has a good reputation.

Think the WH Mexico disputes it or something. Did Mexico officially say something?

this milo berkeley protest looks fake af

Mexico said they wouldn't comment but they said it was a cordial meeting.

House Republicans Vote to End Rule Stopping Coal Mining Debris From Being Dumped in Streams

Moving to dismantle former President Barack Obama's legacy on the environment and other issues, House Republicans approved a measure Wednesday that scuttles a regulation aimed at preventing coal mining debris from being dumped into nearby streams.

Lawmakers also voted to rescind a separate rule requiring companies to disclose payments made to foreign governments relating to mining and drilling.

I literally cannot put my brain in a place where I could vote GOP and I really do try.

The free market will sort it out unless you're sending jobs over sees then TRUMP will tweet about you.

He continues to call refugees illegal immigrants. Guess he saw that his phone calls leaked so of course he has to tweet about it.

Every hour there is something bad.

Dems are going to have a hurculean task on their hands in 2021.

Hope the Jill Stein voters and Bernie or Bust bros are happy.

Australia is the most benign country I could possibly think of, yet here we are.

they don't give a crap, they're largely morons. even if they wise up, there will be a new crop of false equivalency dick heads to ruin an election in another 8, 12 or 16 years.

Also, in other bigger news Trump's first ordered operation was a disaster because he did not have sufficient intelligence or any ground support of back up plan in place. So that's why a girl and a SEAL died. Ho hum.

Should probably have some hearings or something. Maybe for like 2 years, maybe 15 or 20 times, too

The Reuters and NYT articles on this are a mind fuck.

Completely, comprehensively embarrassing

And him doubling down on Twitter is worse

How 'bout those Romanians, huh?

He's getting worse

The amazing thing is Australia is led by a mini-Trump, but he doesn't know a fucking ally when he sees one.

He's doubling down on the Iran you're on notice thing too on Twitter. Genuinely afraid we are going to die.
