It was only a decade ago when the Republicans were in this position, and they didn't turn it around by doing what the Democrats are doing right now. They, and their voters, recognized and adapted to a changing world.

Yes, and they successfully turned things around in '08...wait.


They didn't get a majority in the house for another four years, the majority in the senate for another 8 and the presidency for ten. The republicans didn't have some fail proof plan that they initiated ten years ago that got them to this point.

They mostly bumblefucked their way into their current position. with some help from gerrymandering, being the party not in the white house for eight years (which traditionally leads to the opposing party making massive gains in congress), and the lackluster presidential campaign from the DNC last year.

89-year-old man found in suitcase identified as WWII veteran

posted:

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — Police say an 89-year-old man whose body was discovered in a suitcase on a rural Arkansas farm was a World War II veteran from New York.

Johnstown, New York, police Lt. David Gilbo tells the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette (http://bit.ly/2mxou3X ) that Robert Brooks died of natural causes at his home about a month before his body was discovered in Arkansas on March 5. Gilbo says investigators are still trying to determine why his body was moved.

Two people considered to be caregivers of Brooks have been detained on suspicion of abuse of a corpse.

Brooks served in the military and was a gunner in a B-17 bomber's ball turret.

Pod Save America's most recent episode had a longish interview with Rep. Seth Moulton (D) from Massachusetts 6th district.

I highly recommend people give it a listen, because dude is so loving on point (talks at length about why Dems lost the union vote, why Trump won, etc) and I'm hopeful he's a sign that not everyone in the DNC is clueless as to what to do next.

We all know that if it happens, he's going to kick down the loving door and bring the whole house down, while patting himself on the back about how great of a leader he is and how he made it all possible. All while ignoring that bringing down the regime was never the hard part (since the late 90's), it's the rebuilding and humanitarian work that is the tough one.

Then he'll proceed to gently caress off once the scale of the ensuing humanitarian crisis becomes clear to him and all of the other retarded chucklefucks that have his mindset.

Failing that, if things go wrong, he'll blame Obama.

Last week I felt like holding up Gorsuch nomination was a bad idea for the dems. This week, gently caress it, let's do it. They have nothing to gain by letting things the nomination sail smoothly through the senate.


I mean, the best troll response I've seen some dems giving is that we simply cannot give an administration that is likely under investigation for Russian ties a SCOTUS pick until that matter is resolved.

Part of me wants it to fail so that Ryan and Trump look dumb. Another part of me realizes that if they pass it, it'll basically hand Democrats the election in 2018. Especially since the freedom caucus is forcing them to enact the provisions before the election.

It's a win win if it fails, because you know they will continue to try get something passed, and whatever that is, it'll likely be a worse version of what they're trying to pass right now.

Roy Godson (a former NSC consultant) had a hot mic as they closed out the session, and said "That was good. Almost too good." in regards to the hearing.
