I sometimes have the stray thought of blaming Jon Stewart for all this. That if he had stayed at the daily show he could have rallied the kids in 2016 to vote and the Rats would have gone back into hiding. I know it’s not rational.

Jon was just a few years behind the times. Like many of us, he just underestimated how fundamentally awful right-wing politics was. We needed someone to push liberalism and instead we got a guy who hung out with John McCain and Mike Huckabee.
I actually went to that Rally.

Crowded as hell for sure. At the time I thought it was a sign of the death of the tea party/conservatives. Lol me.

Yeah, this was really pushing the envelope a little much. Sometimes, even in tv news, you get an idea that seems funny or clever in the heat of the moment, and then eventually you wonder why you did that. I would put this in that category.
This is funny but I’m not sure I want tv news to start meming for the lolz!

Yeah, this would be fine if one of us made it or if it was on Brian’s twitter page or if it was on some obvious opinion type show.
Would rather serious news outfits not do stuff like that.

Seriously. I always want to support my fellow Chosen Ones, but who the fuck cares about what Joe Lieberman thinks? Go play Mortal Kombat.

I thought The White Shadow Star, Ken Howard, smartly passed away in March 2016.
Yeah my thoughts for Lieberman were, “Yeah and all those people who didn’t get healthcare wanted to preserve their lives”.

At least this guy will say out loud that they’re a bunch of disingenuous pricks and it’s a waste of time negotiating with them

The Republicans in the “bi-partisan committee” would have legit power if they were interested in doing something other than running clock.
They’d have power if they could deliver enough votes to beat a filibuster. The difference between 50 votes and 55 votes is pretty minimal. The moderate Dems can defeat anything they don’t like by not voting for it, and the moderate Republicans can’t pass help pass anything that a bare Dem majority can pass on their own. They’re useless.
Well at least in this specific scenario where reconciliation is being used, Biden would definitely concede something if it meant getting 55 votes instead of 50.
