She could of have been so much more but the writers just didn't care!
The Democrats are looking for their Kenn Star moment. Can't wait to see how they blow it. There should absolutely be an independent investigator appointed, but I'm sure somehow the Democrats will lay down and die.

Reminder: the house Republicans impeached Clinton for lying about receiving a blowjob.

Jesus christ read a loving history book dude. Trump is absolute garbage, but is mostly different in that he's stripped the veneer of respectability of the office. He isn't even the worst Republican president of the 2000's (yet).

Dubya helped plunge the world economy into the shitter and started two unneeded wars - the after affects of which are still raging today. But Trump sent a mean tweet about transgender kids!!!

I mean, Trump is legit loving up this country, there's no way around that, but that's... Every Republican Ever. The problem is that the DNC (and some posters in this thread) think all that's needed to save this country is defeat Trump when this country is run by people just like or worse than him with their only opposition a bunch of dorks who hem and haw and say, "You may have a point," and have more respect for William F Buckley shitheads than they do poor rural folks who'd vote socialist if they knew what it actually entailed.

...wait, this isn't C-SPAM, poo poo, uh, see, Trump is a lot like, uh, Trent Dilfer.

I think the Dems are out of touch with their constituents but I'm triggered by equivocation between them and the Republicans. You should totally Push the Dems to the left in the primaries, but poo poo, even your most neoliberal Democrat isn't going to appoint Neil Gorsuch or repeal Obamacare.

Huge difference between a Democratic and Republican presidency and I'm kind of done with South Park analysis of both sides sucking.

Joe Lieberman literally did vote against Obamacare, though.

Or at least against public option, which basically has handicapped the reform ever since.

no, he did vote for the initial Senate bill, but he did get the public option removed in exchange for his vote

then during the reconciliation process I don't know but I assume he didn't vote for it then

Nah, and think of the shitstorm that Obama doing that would have brought. Clinton had reasons to fire the FBI director during his presidency. Clinton was rightfully being investigated.

Yeah he sucks but that was also 17 years ago

The Democrats suck but it's imperative that we elect as many of them as possible because the alternative is immeasurably worse. Get involved at a local level and try to push out the corporatists in the primaries.

Yes, let's have Obama fire the FBI director right before he leaves offices for...reasons...then set a precedent of that before having Trump taking office. Trump firing him wasn't really expected. How would putting him in a position to do so make Obama look good in any way? Plus, there's no way that Obama would have been able to appoint anyone.

Anyhow let's all listen to a real good song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ugp8a7B9izw

I know and he ended up weakening the Democratic bill in the 11th hour and hasn't been counted on again. He's not even a senator anymore. This line of reasoning makes no sense.
