Sean Hannity fantasizes about next American strike on Iran which he says will lead to Iranians overthrowing their government

Strong Daddy fantasies abound. Just read this and remember that Trump listens to this shit instead of listening to actual intelligence briefings.
SEAN HANNITY (HOST): So they want to respond, they try to respond, they try to retaliate. Well, what's the first thing I think I'd be looking at if I'm an American President? There are three main refineries inside of Iran. I have faith that if we targeted those three main refineries inside of Iran their economy would go belly up. And what would happen? Then the people of Iran, that have been protesting although there's not a lot of news reporting on it, then they might have a chance to overthrow the Mullahs that have been terrorizing even their own people. 
Trump listens to this shit instead of listening to actual intelligence briefings.

Obama not endorsing Warren, but sorta is endorsing her

Obama tells big money Dem donors that it is their turn to hold their nose.
Last month, former President Barack Obama indicated that he would support any Democrat who ends up winning the primary election. But Obama has reportedly gone the extra mile to support one candidate in particular to wealthy donors: Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA).

Is Star Wars Liberal?

Hate will make you a terrible person.  You need to let the hate go.  Every individual is valuable, and nobody was born to be your subordinate or your menial wage slave.    People of decency and goodwill outnumber people of indecency and ill will, but people of goodwill need to show up because evil is relentless.  Friendship, loyalty, and empathy are powerful.

With a new corps of Democratic activists unwilling to quietly "wait their turn" in electoral politics, it was a busy ramp-up to an important election-year.  So it is no wonder that so many popular posts dealt with who was running an why.

Donald Jehosephat Trump is a fucking idiot

Do you know how easy it would have been for Trump to be 51% popular? So, fucking easy. If he mixed in one normal "bipartisan" sounding observation for every 20 "red meat for the base" bullshit statement, the press would treat the normal observation like gold. You can just picture Democrats like Coons racing to be the first in front of a TV camera to give him a rusty trombone if Trump said something remotely Presidential sounding. SO...In addition to being a criminal and a scumbag, Trump is an idiot. A fucking stone-cold dummy. That's all I'm sayin'.

Here we go again – Coons bipartisan superpowers will be found to be lacking – Episode XXXVXIII

'member when Coons used his bipartisan superpowers on the GOP and Brett Kavanaugh wasn't put on Supreme Court, cuz some of Coons' buddies saw the light of heavenly bipartisanship? Either do I. The media, however, keeps the story of resplendent bipartisanship alive for another episode of "Moderate GOP Senators might really do it this time". Prepare yourself for Coons giving lots of earnest interviews in which his "friendships" with his "trusted partners from other side of the aisle" are highlighted.
The media is dangling the possibility that a meaningful number of Republican senators might seriously go against Donald Trump and Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, in this case to force a real impeachment trial. With the Senate at 53-47, it wouldn’t take many defections to give Democrats some procedural wins to, for instance, call witnesses, and CNN reports that this is “a concern to the White House and GOP leaders.” But we’ve been through this before, and with the one (admittedly important) exception of the Affordable Care Act repeal, it never seems to happen. As with the vote for Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court nomination and so many other times, there’s speculation about what Maine’s Susan Collins might do. She’s up for reelection in 2020 and Trump's approval rating in Maine is low. But, again, we’ve been through this. It ends in disappointment.
