So that’s now two big banks (JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs) that Trump has hinted he’s planning to draw people for the Treasury from.
And he’s bringing Iraq War cheerleader R. James Woolsey on as National Security Advisor.
Plus there’s no telling what posts he’s got in mind for Newt, Rudy, and Christie.
So all you wingnuts who voted for Trump because he was gonna “drain the swamp” got played like a harp from Hell. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

I imagine Energy. Apparently he’s got Dr. Grain in the Pyramids in mind for Education. Who knows though, the fact that after 2008 and all the ugliness she’s shown us that she’s very likely to go to Washington terrifies me. I’ve never been more glad that I didn’t get a federal job. I won’t be applying for one anytime soon and feel relieved that I got a job before Trump was elected and my paralegal certificate.

So, after slamming Clinton endlessly for her ties to Wall Street, Trump’s floating various Wall Street bigwigs to be Treasury Secretary.
I’d say that pegged the irony meter, but I’m going to need to rescale it based on the reframing that Trump’s doing to irony. That rates a 1 (old scale 11 of 10).

And the BBs will bitch the most when Trump shows how different from Clinton he is and Bernie will be just another vote against Trump’s bs whereas if the BBs had put the best interests of everyone before their goddamn fragile egos, Bernie would be likely chairing a very important Senate Committee dedicated to issues he finds important. I’m not really mad at Bernie, a little frustrated by his statement yesterday but I am sure mad at hell at the Bros.

re: #34 Franklin
This this this
If I were running the DNC, I would get Clinton’s call and email list, and ask every one of them if they vote in midterms. Find out who doesn’t, and ask them why, and what they think would get them to the polls. Then find people they know who voted and ask the same questions.
As for me, I’ll be pushing the same people I got to vote on Tuesday to vote in 2018.

I’m not really mad at Bernie, a little frustrated by his statement yesterday but I am sure mad at hell at the Bros.
I blame Bernie for a lot of things. I blame him for not exerting any sort of control over his rabid followers, which meant they convinced a lot of people early on that this was going to be a nasty election and they should have no part of it. I blame him for not hanging it up earlier than just before the convention, continuing to insist on “every vote being counted” even when it was numerically impossible for him to win. I blame his witless campaign for actually entertaining out loud staging a floor fight at the convention and getting the hopes up of Bros that he was going to tear the party apart if he didn’t get crowned at the convention. But most of all, I blame him for turning the primaries into a war between the far-left and the party, from suing them over a data breach by his own staff, to accusing the party leadership of “rigging” the primaries, to the trickery his campaign tries to pull in Nevada.
So I am mad and Bernie and probably will remain so for awhile. Because the man I thought was honorable and going to run an honest campaign turned out to be every bit as bitter and mean as anybody on Capital Hill. 20+ years in politics but he was an “outsider.” Fuck that noise.

Get out there and work to roll back the damage.
For me and the mrs? It’s going and donating to PP, SPLC, and ADL. For starters.
While locally we did well by dumping Garrett in favor of Josh Gottheimer, there’s a lot that can be done nationally, and there’s a lot of vulnerable people out there who are likely to be fucked as a result of a GOP dominated federal govt tipping the scales in favor of GOP controlled state governments who are going to screw over the very people that voted them all into office.
So, when things go south for the economy, tax cuts don’t grow the economy, and the debt balloons, all while the GOP cuts health insurance coverage to 20 million people who got it via Obamacare, and Congressional approval remains in single digits and Trump’s approval rating is 20%, the only ones to blame at that point are the ~25% of the population who voted affirmatively for Trump and the GOP, and the millions who sat on their asses, thinking their vote wont matter.
Guess what - it did, and it still does.

Honestly I think the biggest fight will be one of the first ones - the filibuster. The GOP will absolutely try to kill the filibuster so they have free rein to do whatever they want.
THAT is the fight that Democrats need to have going in. They need to dig their heels in and ensure that a filibuster remains an option. If we lose that, we’re fucked.

re: #60 Dr. Matt
I can hardly wait to hear the excuses after Trump doesn’t build the wall, bring back jobs from China and Mexico, and doesn’t defund NATO, PPFA, and the ACA.
I think the odds of ACA surviving a week past inauguration day are less than 1%.

Some of them, but let’s have some nuance.
Many who voted for Trumpreally thought he would be different, the racism was just icing on the cake. Remember , a lot of the midwest rural people didn’t vote for or against Obama. So it was racism + the thought of a real shakeup.
They are going to be very angry/dispondant when it appears that Trump is still with the “NWO” crowd. Plus, all their crazy talk radio and conspiracy nut leaders vouched for Trump.

re: #48 Targetpractice
I blame Bernie for a lot of things. I blame him for not exerting any sort of control over his rabid followers, which meant they convinced a lot of people early on that this was going to be a nasty election and they should have no part of it. I blame him for not hanging it up earlier than just before the convention, continuing to insist on “every vote being counted” even when it was numerically impossible for him to win. I blame his witless campaign for actually entertaining out loud staging a floor fight at the convention and getting the hopes up of Bros that he was going to tear the party apart if he didn’t get crowned at the convention. But most of all, I blame him for turning the primaries into a war between the far-left and the party, from suing them over a data breach by his own staff, to accusing the party leadership of “rigging” the primaries, to the trickery his campaign tries to pull in Nevada.
So I am mad and Bernie and probably will remain so for awhile. Because the man I thought was honorable and going to run an honest campaign turned out to be every bit as bitter and mean as anybody on Capital Hill. 20+ years in politics but he was an “outsider.” Fuck that noise.
I agree with everything you said and will only add that I also have a problem with some of his choices of surrogates like Nina Turner and Cornell West, who not only spewed some horrible crap, but were pretty much given free rein to do so.

There will be plenty of much younger Senators who will be able to say the same thing. And who will, to not put too fine a point on it, look a lot more like the Democratic Party writ large than Sanders will.
Yeah Clinton really should have won the primaries easily which again shows you how silly it is to claim it was stolen from Bernie. Agree with you about the other Senators, I’m going to be watching governors honestly. But as far as senators are concerned, I do like Tammy Duckworth and Cory Booker.

Now that Rubio and McCain were just re-elected? Sure. They’re in their safe place.
re: #201 Belafon
Are any of them that brave?
McCain likely just had his last campaign, Rubio doesn’t have to run for another six years. And Graham… well, as Andrew Sullivan used to call him, he’s basically Butters from South Park. So, sure, I could see it happening. And McConnell might be smart enough to realize that keeping the filibuster around gives him cover for avoiding votes on the more noxious of Trump’s policies.

re: #200 Kryptik in Mourning
And with no promise of getting better. After all, why not? This election proved that a sadly vast number approves of this kind of behavior wholeheartedly, and a significant amount tolerates it at the very least.
This is the emerging new normal.
You have that reversed a bit—he seems to have 25% of the electorate, and some more among the vast asparagus patch that didn’t vote.

Both are worth watching. I’m also going to keep an eye on my new Senator, Kamala Harris. Will be interesting to see what she’s like outside of a law enforcement setting (former prosecutor and Attorney General).
re: #198 Mike Lamb
Nope. Because Senate power will last long after Trump is gone. They’ll do what they can to maximize their power, and limit the minority’s power. Filibuster is one of the ways a minority party can slow action.
Never mind that one day the GOP might be in the minority.
This gets back to the concept of comity, and that there are things that just shouldn’t be done, because it’ll come back and haunt you too.
So, when the situation is reversed, and the SCT has an opening in the final year before an election, it will remain open if the opposition party is in control, because screw the court, and custom or tradition of giving the president the respect he deserves in his nominations.
Garland got fucked by a ruthless GOP that sought to make sure that they got to pick Scalia’s replacement at any cost. The millions of Democrats who sat on the sidelines ignored this. So, when birth control, let alone abortion access, is threatened, you have no one to blame but themselves.
Yeah, I’m angry at the people who decided they could sit on the sidelines because they couldn’t get party purity and their perfect candidate. They got Clinton, but apparently being a highly qualified woman who knows the ins and outs of policy and politics wasn’t enough in the face of an incessant smear campaign, lies, and obfuscation that magic balance fairied Trump to a win. (and yes, voter suppression and the scandal mongering bs played a role too).

While a lot of whites are enablers, they can be shamed into not letting that kind of stuff out in the open. We can get other people involved in keeping this stuff from getting out of hand.

I tend to take the opposite view. I agree that the Senate is about power, but I think that most GOP senators, being lifers, recognize that the filibuster provides significant power, particularly on an individual basis.
Not to mention, can they really be confident that Trump won’t pogo stick on his own dick, whether by shitty policy decisions or scandal, such that they won’t need to effectively legislate against him to save their own skin? Whomever said that keeping the filibuster allows for an easy out so they don’t have to be on record opposing Trump’s stupidity raised a good point.
But frankly, all they have to do is get rid of it for SCOTUS nominations and the damage is done.

At first, I didn’t like confronting him. I’m not by nature a confrontational person but I had some respect for his ability to be civil even when most people disagreed with him. He’s really shown himself to be a petty person and I know he’s really going to get onboard with Trump because his entire party is and his party is everything to him. I hope he enjoys Tammy Duckworth and Dick Durbin voting against the shit that Trump proposes and hopefully Illinois throws Rauner out too so DF may have a Republican President but he gets Dem representation down the line.

PO5 As you may know, on Friday the FBI announced it is reviewing additional emails related to Hillary Clintons time as Secretary of State that were recently discovered as part of an unrelated investigation. Does knowing this make you more or less likely to vote for Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election for president, or does it make no
difference either way?
Somewhat less likely to vote for Clinton 6%
Much less likely to vote for Clinton 33%
when did you decide presidential vote?

Clinton voters—42%
Trump voters—47%
