they might be simple but they sure ain't pure.

Pure Evil

Pure Idiocy

evil. with added idiots.

compromise to, so as to appease the desires of very bad, very dangerous assholes like Cruz and the teaparty.

didnt Bush "right off the bat" hire a teapartier?

Scary thought that any of them could get in the WH...

Go Mitch! How's it working out for you?

about the last 6 years.

... they're counting on the idiots that voted for them to be suffering from terminal Goldfish Syndrome. Every time they see their reflection in a hall of mirrors, they wonder who the hell that ugly person is behind the glass!

He's possibly my favorite artist of all time.

parroted by the non journalist, non news, corporate media.

Besides that, the corporate media is beating war drums 24/7. The senseless murders of human beings, i.e. 3 Muslim students barely mentioned. The grandfather from India who was partial paralyzed barely mentioned. Pro-Immigration protesters showing up to least 35 GOP congress offices, barely mentioned, GOPer governors along with GOP legislators effing up the working class -no mention and so on and on

Those damn Democrats!!!

While the rest of us just look on in wonderment. Really? What did you expect?

"The Democrats are suddenly acting like a bunch of Republicans!"

What a lot of nerve they have. Would be funny if it weren't so fucking pathetic.

George Carlin was 100% correct! "They want your Social Security and they're gonna get it!" They're apoplectic about cutting Social Security and destroying Medicare and Medicaid. Pure and simple.

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]"We expect the Democrats to treat us the way they would like to have been treated."

This was on the occasion of one of the last GOP sweeps in Congress, during the W Lost Years, I think. It was right after Republicans spent two years treating Democrats like dirt, denying a committee use of a conference room, forcing them to meet in a virtual closet and then mocking them for it, as well as heaping countless other indignities, rudeness, and obstruction upon them.

They knew they had payback coming then and they know they have it coming now, fully deserved. Fortunately, Democrats are generally unwilling to sidetrack The People's business in search of proper payback, but every little whine from the hypocrites is music to my ears.

Full of *********!

"..but every little whine from the hypocrites is music to my ears."!!!!!!

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]They certainly are!

Haven't been around much, getting ready to move this weekend, but good to see you!

a week off.. and just popping in occasionally right now..

Good luck with your moving.. ugh! Is it to another city or just another home?

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]Just moving into a different apartment in the same complex. I'm the new manager and get a special spot now.

It's all good.

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]Pretty cool.

we vote HELL NO.

Not sure where we picked that up....

Because our "Go fuck yourself" buttons appear to be missing.

...one of those!

Bwa Ha Ha Ha!!!?

The Flying Fickle Finger of Fate strikes again!

Sock it to me?

Wasn't Laugh In one of the best shows ever?

I was watching episodes last week end!

Everyone was having a ball. It was critical but upbeat and jokingly irreverent.

I kept thinking how confrontational everything is today.

And how some bits would be met with swooning righteous indignation today....

Like Sammy Davis Jr saying in his best Kingfish voice: "Do da name Ruby Begonia mean anythin' to ya?"


Peace!


Goodnight Lucy.....

It was definitely a kinder gentler time and one of the best TV shows ever!!

The GOP calling the Democratic minority in the Senate obstructionists? Really?

How about all the Republican filibusters in the Senate the past 6 years? Reid wasn't afraid to bring things to the floor for a vote but he knew which items would fall to a filibuster. Even a filibuster threat was enough to keep bills from being debated and voted on.

I hope the Democrats and the President play good cop / bad cop. They need to coordinate their plays. The Democrats should filibuster and create a ruckus on issues with which most Americans agree. And for those items that are a bit more dicey or could be used against Democrats in 2016 let Obama veto the bills.

I am going to buy a case of popcorn this weekend at Costco (have only stepped inside a Walmart 3 x in my life when they were my only option) and get ready for a fun 2 years.

Go Dems!!!

Or in the afternoon. Or in the evening! Hey, overnights too! And twice on weekends - triple that on Sundays!

As we've said here before - "hey GOP - YOU climbed into bed with it. Now it gets to fuck you!"

Until then, assuming the people don't throw your lazy ass and wothless party out of Washington, STFU and do your damn job.

that the shoe is on the other foot he wants them to compromise with him? Frankly he and the other republicans need to shove it up their ass imo assuming of course they can manage to get their heads out of the way.

Turnabout's fair play AFAIC.

Give 'em hell, Harry!

yup the party of NO screaming at the democrats for voting NO.....love it.... you f'n politicians have minds like sieves. You right wing arrogant f's vote no for 6 years and now when its time for you to prove yourselves you scream and kick like little pre adolescent children. You are getting what you deserve and I hope the hell EVERY VOTER IS WATCHING AND LEARNING..... GET OFF YOUR ASSES VOTERS...

after 6 years of GOP obstruction and the expressed validation of every arbitrary GOP No vote they gave for the last half a decade?

244 days last year and he "PUNTED" 51 Affordable Care repeals , making 225,000 a year and now he his and his libertarian, right wing party are geting pay back and come up pence, couldn't happen to another nicer jerk remember him at the breakfast counter and being confronted by human being that wanted him and his austerity hypocrite party to vote on immigration, all he could do was feed his self righteous face.

I hope the Dems filibuster every damn piece of legislation just like those assholes did.

pay back!!!!

His Lordship, the Almighty, Omnipotent and Perfect Dominus Caesar Theodoric Cruz to boehner and mc connell

about our Congress du jour. Our entire political system is corrupted by the corporate megalomaniacs who've usurped our media, our politics AND our global economy.

I know it pains some of us to hear our politics described as Kabuki Theater, but it bears repeating. Most of our politicians are in DC for the fame and fortune that befalls those "celebrated" few who are supposed to work for us, the Hoi Polloi. I can count on one hand the number of politicians who seem genuinely invested in "governing" our nation.

to get meaningful legislation passed but if the Democrats would have taken this approach when they had control of both houses then, well they would probably still be in control of both houses.

"Why don't you ask the Senate Republicans when they're going to get off their ass and do something"

No backbone Democrats however just allowed the Repukes to block everything brought up for a vote

But now of course Repukes are getting a dose of their own meds
