That's what Paul Ryan is going to say to Trump the day after the idle rich get their big tax cut. Duncan Black's post election summary correctly noted that two…

These folks sure didn't spend the last 12 months sulking. They got shit done! Mazahir Salih will be the first Sudanese-American to join the Iowa City Council following her win on Tuesday. Lisa Middleton is the first openly transgender person to be elected to a non-judicial office in California. She’s joining Palm Springs’ city council. Laura Curran will be the first female county executive for New York’s Nassau County. Cathy Murillo’s victory on Tuesday makes her the first Latina mayor of Santa Barbara, California. She has been a city councilwoman since 2011.

The sweet soul music of the first half of the '70's has been criminally underappreciated.  I'll feature some of my faves of that period for the rest of the week. …

That's the takeaway. Virginia, with some help from Gillespie who went full Trumpkin, relit the #resist fires that Ossoff let die out. Soon it will be our turn and every Democrat is on call. Centrist, Liberal, Green-Leaning...it is time for everyone to show up. All races should name trump without naming him. What do I mean? I mean Danica Roem provides a good example. Making her race about rationality, plain competence, and the basic services we expect Government's to provide strikes at the heart of Trumpism which is, at its heart, all about fear, division, chaos and nonsense. To be all about competence WHILE being all in on diversity and social justice is the formula. OR... JUST OUTRIGHT RUN AGAINST TRUMP as Delaware County Democrats did in their winning efforts:

Pushing the message that a vote for them was a vote against President Trump, Delaware County Democrats out-polled Republicans in a County Council election for the first time in history, winning both seats up for grabs in an ultra-tight race. Democrats had planted signs throughout the county that read, “Vote Nov 7th Against Trump” and “Vote Nov 7th: Bring Sanity Back.”

Pious Paul Ryan claims to believe that prayer does work, and that it's a proper response to gun massacres. Based on the evidence, though, the Big Guy is either deaf in…

Turns out phony billionaire president Donald Trump has more in common with his Treasury Secretary Wilbur Ross than just ownership of shell companies that hide dealings with Russia. Forbes magazine…

Sanctimonious shitbag Paul Ryan has proved his impeccable credentials in that arena yet again, criticizing the "secular left" for dismissing his and all conservatives' call for thoughts and prayers, claiming…

Donald Doofus was feeling free and easy in Japan Monday, drinking the covfefe that's only for winners. Did he act steamed again, as he did Sunday, because his hosts had…

Here is that she should have said:

In America nobody is above the law. If the evidence shows that he committed crimes, the President is not a King. Like any another American citizen, he would be held accountable by the Republicans and Democrats in congress.

This, instead is the crazy ass bullshit she said when asked about impeachment:

"It's not someplace that I think we should go," Pelosi, appearing on CNN's "State of the Union," said of whether Democrats would seek to oust the president if they regained the majority.

I mean, WHAT THE HOLY FUCK? I'm no political genius, but apparently I'm smarter than the ranking Democrat in Congress.

...As if the world needed more proof. Listen, Republican smears work because Democrats don't have much in the way of core values to create firm campaign foundations. We'll always be on the defensive, playing to "not lose."
