I have a special, burning hatred for him. Thoughts that I hate and would never say.

Mitch, oh fuck it, I won't belittle myself.

He’s so unabashedly partisan, and he has been a very effective Republican shithole. He usually stays behind the scenes; he has done more damage to our democracy than anyone else, and he cares nothing about fairness or facts.

Besides Trump. I think I hate them even more than Pence, which is saying something. I so want to see those two in jail, actually, all three of them.

honest to God! What they say happened is not what I saw happen last night. Why do they keep calling it a bipartisan agreement? Didn't seem that way to me. They keep saying it's about immigration ... it's about DACA you idiots! What is wrong with the media? Why aren't they calling out these lies!

I'm telling you - that is their end game! They did it for Supreme Court Justice. They did it for Tax Reform.

They are not consulting or working with Democrats NOW.

Nuclear option - 50 votes for ALL legislation.

And they'll never need a Democrat.

First thing is,the wealthiest 400 families,who btw fund the Thugs,are not going to be hurt financially. This shut down hurts the worker bees who in some cases are required to work with out pay by law,which btw was crafted by these same Rethugs.

Park Service personnel and TSA agents are mandated to work without pay. Many of these same folks have not been made whole from 2013 shut down.

The only folks not made whole were people like DOD employees who had to eat extra furloughs due to the sequester and the FAA engineers who were shutdown by the GOP for 6 weeks.

time of service wage changes happened during that time and they were never compensated for wage increases. The numbers involved were not that great, but they had to eat it only to be froze in place without those wage bumps.
