voted for all except Kash Patel not even Fetterman apparently.

She voted against Hegseth.

I don't think RFK and Tulsi will either.

and only Fetterman voted for Bondi.

None of it matters when Republicans refuse to vote NO on anyone. Still the only R NO votes across all nominees have been the 3 against Hegseth.

Joy too. What the hell we got the felon's overseer Musk and his son in the oval office, with that pitiful felon.

The felon is a sick fuck. I just hate the fucking POS felon. The felon is making enemies everyday.

(I just signed up for their emails)

I think that's because she wants to be president.

But I wish she wouldn't vote for unqualified thugs.

The Clinton 90s political era is dead. Dead like fried chicken. We're in the MAGA-verse. People want their politicians to have bold agendas and deliver on them. Not endless babble about bi-partisanship.

But it seems like nobody except Bernie really lives up to that.

Not so. At least 15 other D senators live up to that, only confirming Rubio and one other.

It's the other 32 D senators who voted YES three to eight times out of 12 confirmations -- they should be called and told to stop helping the felon.

Mone of my senators, Tammy Duckworth, is in that group, and I am proud of her.

It is not complicated. A crappy, horrendous, even evil plan beats no plan at all, especially when it is delivered with some gusto.

Democrats don't stand for ANYTHING these days, by and large (some do individually, but as a united party, not so much). The only thing most Dems are for is being AGAINST Trump. That's not good enough. People don't want to know what you are against. They want to know what you are committed to doing that will make their lives better. And they want some confidence that you will either get it done, or go down in flames fighting for it. Americans just don't like the idea of turning tail and waddling away at the slightest resistance from Republicans.

You can't beat a terrible idea with no idea. And that's pretty much the definition of Klobuchar and far too many of her colleagues.

No little ideas. Only big, bold, memorable ideas. Think New Deal, Apollo Project, and Great Society. Those are the things that move people. Everything else ends up being mostly service to billionaires.

That's how most voters see the Democrats as weak and ineffectual. Hard to rally voters on your side during elections when they don't see you doing things.

Like naming an AG who will actually prosecute crimes.

Or getting rid of the Postmaster General whose whole agenda is to make the USPS so crappy that people will have no choice but to use the private companies. In Indianapolis, DeJoy forced the opening of a massive new regional processing center (bigger than most Amazon buildings), and closed 2 other facilities before the new facility was even half-staffed. As a consequence there are nearly a million packages piled up in that facility now, some 6-8 weeks late.

Same story in Louisville. And I had 4 packages go through the same thing at Jacksonville lat last year.

“ A crappy, horrendous, even evil plan beats no plan at all, especially when it is delivered with some gusto.”

I’ve been trying to describe something like that since November, but you nailed it in one friggin sentence. Sure there are many other causes, racism, misogyny, and worse.

But your description is what caused the 5 or 10% — who might have voted for Democrats— to turn to trump.

because that's worked so well so far and made America great through bipartisanship.

She did not answer Joy’s question. You’re absolutely correct.

Vote for any Trump nominee.
Filibuster Joy Reid.

Should vote against all trump’s nominees! Every single one of them! None of them are qualified for any office.

...for the posts to which they are nominated.

Not a single Democrat has voted YES on any nominee or motion in the Senate. Everyone who was there to vote has voted NO on everything.

centrist bs.

Partisanship has been dead for republicans since the ray-gun era when the lockstep of fascism appeared.

It grew stronger before, during, and after the 1st Gulf War.

Then it grew much stronger when trying to derail any and all of the Clinton agenda (and to gain revenge for the Nixon impeachment hearings).

It became the standard after 9/11 and before, during, and after the 2nd Gulf War.

It grew into total idiot fascism under drumpf 1, and it attempted to block anything and all Biden did, and is still in place, stupider and stronger than ever.

Democrats, at least too many of them, seem unaware of this march, or they hope that by being bipartisan they can show the republicans how fair and square they can be, or they expect some type of change will suddenly hit the republican (ha ha ha).

Perhaps this is a case in which fighting fire with fire is justified since fire and the destruction it brings is almost all conservatives today understand.

Any Democrat who votes for any republican nominee, any republican issues, or any republican plan that may damage, demean, or destroy the U.S. is suspect in my limited view.

I hope she doesn't run again for POTUS.
