    This is a two-party system at its worst.

    I’m old enough that my grandfathers fought in WWI. My mother’s second husband was a B-17 captain. Third husband was a fighter pilot in the Pacific theater. My father retired from the regular army as a LTC. Col.

    These bastards would have fought each other to get to the head of the line to beat the shit out of Turderville.

    But as others have noted, we have this obstructionist process in place.

    As one of the other commentators said, maybe we should change the fucking rule. I just don’t know how.

    I’ve never voted Republikklan in my life, but there were some who had honor. Senator McCain, for example. But now we’re stuck with this shit with legs.

        McCain was one of the last respectable Republicans. I disagreed with many many of his ideas, but I think he was honorable as a person and thought he was doing what was right for the country.

        I’m not a fan. But I felt like he had a commitment, even if I didn’t agree with it. Now you have this pond scum
