    Where was all this pearl clutching when Ted Cruz called Mitch McConnell a liar on the Senate floor?

    And when that no named Republican dude shouted, You lie!” to President Obama during his State of the Union?

      Well, they have that overarching rule IOKIYAR. It supersedes any and all rules.

    Here is a pdf version of Coretta Scott King’s letter. You can fax it for free to your senator or any senator.

    Remind them that voters are paying attention and we are angry.

    Keep reminding them. Everyday.

      Nice that they set it up so you can send to every Senator (in theory as they have a limit) except Rand Paul who apparently is a shit who doesn’t want to be contacted. Just sent one, I’ll let you know if it actually got through.

      ETA: Surprisingly it got through. I would have thought this fucker would have turned off his fax machine. I forgot to mention I sent it to The Turtle.

    Yurtle the Senator has always been the worst kind of partisan scumbag. Remember when filibustered his own bill?

      Yes - he is such a fucking spineless yellow bellied COWARD. That was so crazy. Yet, he has been crying about obstruction since Cheetos Dump took office. All of them are just sellout hypocritical cowards!

    YO! This is why, even with my degree in Poli Sci and love of politics, I could never be IN that shit. Cuz I would be in violation of soooo many rules...like the one where you can’t go and smack the shit out of Mitch “turdle” McConnell.

    She is a real one and so damn smart. I very much admire the way she handled this and is able to continually rage at the machine without throwing hands every other whitcha way.

      Luckily we “Excuse me??” types have Joy Reid and Rev & Mrs. King’s daughter to handle the more subtle snark and side-eye with decorum and dispatch:

    Mitch McConnell is such heinous piece of shit. I’d be so happy if someone were to stomp in his ugly fucking turtle face one day.

    This gives me hope?

    The politics are so stupid for this move. Who would have cared if Warren read the letter? “Democrat says harsh but true things about Trump nominee” is dog-bites-man these days. It would get maybe a few hours in a clickbait sidebar and then disappear.

    Now it’s a “cover-up” story about arrogance and overreach, and gets a lot more coverage. How did McConnell possibly think this was a good play? It’s like he’s asking himself, “what can I do today to keep the outrage fires burning?”

      I’m sure he thought on the one hand he had nothing to lose by being his craven, corrupt, racist self — his wife has been confirmed as Transportation Secretary so I’m sure they’ve positioned themselves to mop up their millions.

      If we have our way for 2018, tho - that’ll be his last time as Majority Leader — and well past time, too, for the Yertle.

      I can’t stand his hypocrisy - how is he going to call Senator Warren out on a point of procedure when just last week he ramrodded two Cabinet appointees through Committee without a quorum who had perjured themselves during their hearings, and told the press that it would be his mission to stymie President Obama’s SCOTUS appointments no matter how well-qualified the judges were?

      (And BTW - does anybody know why he didn’t face some serious criminal obstruction charges for that? I have never quite understood it.)

    I commented elsewhere I am extremely happy Coretta Scott King continues to scare racists from heaven. So is McConnell an out and proud “Alt” Righter?

      This is beautiful way to look at this; King’s words are so powerful that even from beyond the grave they make racists fucking frantic.

      Also I saw this on Reddit:

      I love how they sound so cheery about it. They’re like “Tools! Tools for Implementation of Democracy! What a great addition to the household!” :-)

    It seems the GOP is going to do whatever they please. They have every branch of government now, and apparently no fear of citizens, the media or fellow politicians. They used lies, gerrymandering, voter suppression, assistance from Russian hackers, fake news, information leaks, and every dirty underhanded trick to get here, but here they are. NOW they are a stickler for the rules concerning “imputing” the honor of someone?

    You mean the guy who was bought off by getting his wife another cabinet appointment acted like a guy who was bought off?

    Good days to be a bastard.
