“I’ve been here seven years and never seen anything like it,” Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) marveled to Talking Points Memo Monday night. “Who knows? Democracy may very well break out in here.”
Coons was talking about the immigration debate Mitch McConnell’s underworld family Republican Caucus promised as payment for passing the GOP’s kill-the-poors budget.
Sucker!
McConnell and his capos leadership team told them today that they have all the way until the close of business Thursday for their little “debate.”
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think Democrats should have closed the government over the DACA kids, because it’s a losing game they were suckered into playing in the first place. My point is that these stupid fucks can’t help getting played. A mark like Coons was probably feeling good about this “concession” Republicans made, because after 7 years he still doesn’t understand that Republicans are happy to reach across the aisle, without any intention of doing so in good faith.
The only value in sending suckers like this to Washington is finding out how many licks it really does take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop.
