Saturday News Round Up

Saturday News Round Up

It is the second Saturday after the country voted for baby Jesus, and lower taxes and so Republicans are already planning to flex their mandate and shut down the government. They say the shut down will be over the President's claim that he is going to stop deporting so many browns. That's the plan. If the President trips them up by continuing to deport browns at the current rate, they'll figure something out. Of course shutting down the government isn't the first choice for the few remaining Republicans who still have a loose grip on reality. They'd prefer a lawsuit because threatening a lawsuit is pretty manly business that always gets results. Tom Carper said that he'd vote with those same Republicans to overturn a Presidential veto because overriding a Presidential veto will usher in a golden age of peace and prosperity. It will also show the GOP once and for all that when Tom Carper says bipartisanship - BY GOD he means BIPARTI-FUCKING-SHIP.
Schwartzkopf blames Christopher for Dems losses (except not really)

Schwartzkopf blames Christopher for Dems losses (except not really)

Poor Chris Flood trying to make sense out of Schwartzkopf post election analysis.
"He said because of the race for county sheriff, the turnout in Sussex County was somewhat different than in Kent and New Castle counties. Republicans pushed hard to get out the vote because they didn't want to see Jeff Christopher re-elected, said Schwartzkopf, and as a result some people who wouldn't have voted otherwise ended up voting straight down party lines. Schwartzkopf said he doesn't necessarily think the outcome of the races would have been any different, but the percentages would have been closer. Republicans had a good day, he said. It's like a sports competition, he added, and the GOP had a better outcome."
Yep. Just like a sports competition. The kind of competitions where one team has motivated players, strategies, coaching and leadership and the other doesn't. It was just like that.
Opposing BFD China Climate Deal?  Treason.

Opposing BFD China Climate Deal? Treason.

For years Republicans have held China's resistance to a carbon reduction treaty as a reason to oppose President Obama's efforts to address the climate crisis here. So, he cuts an amazing deal with China and what are Republicans doing? Opposing it. This is nothing short of treason.
DNC fundraising emails I’d love to Get

DNC fundraising emails I’d love to Get

Jason330, We screwed up. But here is the good news – starting today we aren’t taking any money from banks or finical services industries. None. Nothing. We now realize that working to protect the profits of banks doesn’t serve the interest of the working class Americans who have always been the backbone of the party. So from now on, the DNC will turn away all money from banks so that we can get back to being the party that looks out for the little guy. That will put us in a fundraising bind, so we will need to depend on people like you to help get the message out. You are the Democratic Party’s biggest asset. Thanks for considering a donation to help return the Democratic Party to its core values. Sincerely, Joe Biden
More under the fold.
