"Tonight doesn’t make me wish I had quit smoking. An early death would be merciful compared to a long slow one with insufficient nutrition and no health care, which is what is coming up"

"If you're a woman and you voted Republican, fall off of the face of the earth."

"We here on DU do not represent Americans.


That should be obvious this morning.


Seems to me we live on an island here.
For all our telling ourselves how much more intelligent we are compared to the rest of America, it didn't help anything yesterday.
Reality sinks in now.
We can't make it go away.
For me I will turn to some of the good things that still exist. A walk along the beach. A long motorcycle ride. Some good music.
And I will remain possitive thinking there is a better time coming."

"were predicting the Republican party would never recover.
And now this. The House looks hopeless, the senate is gone.
This is ed, folks. ed."

"People will die... We can't wait another two years to address climate change. We are ed."

"maybe it is time for leftists to leave the country en masse, or rather, to set up some collective funds and organization to help us all move. It is a historically validated alternative to revolution since that likely isn't happening anytime soon."

Scott won, Crist conceded.

Yes no . Just doing a recap of last nights festivities.

Dumbass lib s

Meanwhile, absolutely nothing substantial will change now that red team has power instead of blue team. Anyone who still thinks there's actually a difference is too stupid to breed.

False, Repugs could get their Ryan, sociopathic, destructive budget done, screwing the poor while enriching the 1%.

Lots of stuff the House Repugs have voted for many times that were blocked by the Dem Senate. No longer the case. Repugs have serious opportunity to really stuff up.

One thing that won't happen is the bi-partisan Senate immigration bill that didn't even get a House vote will not come up again. Immigration reform is a Repug racist/xenophobic campaigning/rabble-rousing tactic, not a true desire to do anything about immigration.

"Plank #1: Nationalize the TBTF banks, expropriate their assets, fire their

management and run them as publicly-held ins utions. IOW, no profit motive, no richie riches getting rich by receiving privatized gains while socializing the risks.

Plank #2: A Guaranteed Annual Income for all American citizens and permanent residents, irrespective of employment status, race, gender, religion or sexual orientation.

Plank #3: Increase the marginal tax rate to 90% on all income over $100,000/year for single filers and $200,000/year for married filers.

Plank #4: Prosecution of Bush, Cheney and other members of the Junta for war crimes and crimes against humanity

Plank #5: Immediate implementation of Kyoto.

See? That wasn't hard, now was it?"

Privatization, Punitive Taxation and prosecuting Political Opponents - very original.

Sounds exactly like pretty much every piece of legislation passed by both teams in at least the past century.

"It's not over till it's over. You never know the votes arn't counted yet. Just the same I texted my therapist to let her know I may need to talk. If things go too bad tonight it will be another disaster for me"

My favorite by far.
