Fuck... how did I miss this? What a terrible day.

BREAKING: Sessions' DOJ says that gay people aren't protected from discrimination under Title VII.

I expected this to happen, sadly. Thankfully, if you read the story, the Justice Department has only submitted an amicus curae brief and hasn't argued the case themselves. The court's decision, whether pro- or anti-gay, probably won't be affected.

I hope this case or one like it reaches the SC while we still have Kennedy. He would ensure that LGBT protections become enshrined in the Civil Rights Act - at least I'd hope so, given his record and the Obergefell decision..

Hey gang, is today just the worst day under Trump? Because it's sure feeling like it...

Travel ban day felt worse, but this one ranks up there.

I'd say the two are about even.

I had honestly forgotten Tyrannosaurus Lemon even existed. I'm sure I'll forget again within the next 5 minutes and nothing of value will be lost.

Pres Trump dedicated to putting radical Muslims in graves whereas Pres Obama was dedicated to putting men in the ladies room. #MAGA

Everyone's "pretty" bigot, Tomi Lahren.

Fuck ANYBODY who finds value in engaging her

No one is going to post Matthew Dowd's fantastic response to this?

Ummm, didn't Pres. Obama have Bin Laden killed and didn't Pres. Trump wander into ladies rooms at Miss AMerica pageants?

That feels like ages ago. We're all going to age like 50 years by the time this is said and done. Provided we're still alive and all that.

For what it's worth, realize it's getting worse because Trump, the GOP, & his admin are getting more desperate.

 

[Pyrokai]

I am so glad this man is my senator. He is the one single thing I will miss when I leave Ohio.

ditto.

Don't leave and continue the cluster to the coasts and maybe we can keep him for longer.

This is the problem Democrats face and why they'll continue to lose seats.

Columbus is pretty rad. Just move there!


Edit: That being said, stay at least until after the midterms. The Senate NEEDS Brown!

 

[skullmuffins]

Anyone wanna take bets on how long it's gonna be before Trump pulls out that shelved "religious freedom" EO? :/ Save it for a bad Russia week, I guess.

True. And if Skinny Bitch Repeal fails, another wheel will fall off.

Ironically, Sessions might be the anal plug preventing even more shit from spewing out.

Don't get me wrong, I know that this is all going to burn them in the end and is the result of their really losing their shit, but damn. Still fucking sucks.

Ya, and things changed pretty quickly!

The moderate GOPers are turning on the extreme flank there- they'd actually be a legitimate upgrade over their current staff- whether they could make it through a primary? Who knows.

 

[Sobriquet]

Normally? No. Now? Who the fuck knows.

That's what I figured.

Kathleen Sebelius was the governor until she became Obama's Secretary of Health and Human Services in 2009.

Interesting! So Kansas hasn't been fucked up for that long. Kind of like North Carolina.

He can take a break for a day. Please. I just wanna play some video games without looming anxiety for friends and family.

I read that article where Eric Cantor admits their repeal Obamacare crusade was just bullshit.

I got angry

at myself for remembering that I find Cantor attractive.

 

[eBay Huckster]

She certainly wants people to pay attention to her after a disgusting tweet like that.

Poor snowflake can't get a job, though.

My only solace this year is that I'm probably going to have a job again before Tammy Larynx

Don't leave and continue the cluster to the coasts and maybe we can keep him for longer.

I'm gonna try to stay registered to vote here thru 2018, at least

I mean, it's ridiculous to say Democrats can't normally win the governorship there because it is both plausible that they will win it in the future and as recently as 2006 have won it in the past. It's been like going into 2014 saying it's impossible for Democrats to lose the Massachusetts governorship because they'd won it during the past two elections and it's a dark blue state.

To be fair, we only lost that one because of Martha Choakley and her loser stench.

see, i would've just argued "it's impossible for Democrats to lose the MA governorship unless they do something dumb as hell like nominate Coakley again"

You found an image for Shinra's "Fist for $15" poster?

cool.

well alrighty then.

 

[daedalius]

oh good.

Never heard of this guy, but sounds like an asshole.

I can still be glad brownback is the fuck out of here though.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Pleased she caught a fly

 

[Sobriquet]

So apparently NV Gov. Sandoval (along with Kasich) is against the skinny repeal. Which means Heller is likely a "no"

 

[Teggy]

I hope someday the Dems can get enough seats to put their healthcare plan in place and name it "Obamacare". Even if it has nothing to do with with Obama.

I have the same issue with crazy Tulsi Gabbard

If Heller is a no, it is probably dead.

We should call everything Obamacare.

Obamacare Post Office

But can Kasich convince moderate darling Rob Portman?


Portman is a shit. So..... probably not :

I wouldn't bet on Heller. Recently he's acted like a man who knows he'll lose and has stopped giving a fuck.

We're better off relying on Portman

He voted no on repeal and replace and repeal and delay.

 

[sangreal]

Heller already said he is a likely yes

He voted no on repeal and replace and repeal and delay.

because they were guaranteed to fail

Before the election (when I was still capable of considering people right of center as "friends"), my Republican classmates tried to convince me that Portman was One of the Good Ones, enough to balance out Strickland's inherent shittyness. That he wasn't a party line kinda guy, he had a conscience!

ahahahahahahaha

It's not ridiculous when you have the GOP with 2/3rds to 75% control of both houses. When looking at chances, you take into account the current state of affairs, not a history book.

Blue states electing R governors is common, state level R parties in them are normally much more moderate as a result of the electorate. The inverse is not true, though Dems can/do win.

Yeah Adelson, Wynn and co are really standing on Heller's dick ATM.

Everybody in D.C. Shld b warned that the agenda for the judiciary Comm is set for rest of 2017. Judges first subcabinet 2nd / AG no way

No wonder everyone's been silent. Those numbers are insane.

A signal that they're cool w/ letting Rosenstein rock is a good thing.

I hate trying to decipher Grassley's tweets, but he's saying that their schedule is full and they won't have time to have any hearings for a replacement AG this year, right?
