When it comes to working/running the House and Senate: Our side is WAY better at their jobs

I mean Holy Moley,
1 - Biden is the most GOP underrated presidential opponent in history and just rope a dopes them in every fight.
2 - the way Jeffries worked McCarthy for the Democratic votes he needed
3 - and what Schumer did procedurally yesterday and today to expedite passage.

Everything just screams Institutional Competence and Procedural Knowledge!

The only one on their side who knows what he's really doing is Moscow Mitch.
McCarthy is a dumpster fire clown show about to get flogged and potentially deposed by his own people.

The GOP took America hostage and didn't get the real ransom they wanted:
a government shutdown and chaos they could use to weaken Biden and benefit them politically in 2024.

Political skill, retail politics, institutional knowledge, and time earned experience defeated the GOP and rescued the hostage with no shots fired.
Politically this was like Biden killed Bin Laden tonight.
That's the scale we are talking about here even if people don't realize yet.
and here's why:
THERE IS NOTHING ELSE IN THE GOP PLAYBOOK BETWEEN NOW AND NOV 2024.
The shutdown was the whole Right Wing game plan and it's over.

All they have now til then is "BIden is so feeble and hides in a basement"
Yeah, except when he's there to own you in the Art of the Deal and disarming your one bullet gun like taking Barney Fife's pistol.
Because Democrats are way better at running Washington DC than Republicans.
Cheers folks!
This was a big win.
Now let's GOTV in 2024

Don't worry everyone, CNN will correct its course for a Joe Biden Town Hall

That's when they will do everything the opposite of what they did for Trump.

They will make sure they have a unfriendly journalist questioning him,

they will fill the audience with angry people who do not support Biden

So don't you worry about CNN.
When there's a Democratic candidate on their airwaves they will do everything they can to try to reclaim their journalistic credibility

There's only one thing I'm looking for from the next TV journalist that interviews Trump

Laughter
Absolute mocking of his lies and bullshit.
He only runs over them when they try to be serious and parry his lies during a Gish Gallop
They need to just laugh at him and make fun of his bullshit
That will set him off and break him
He can't stand to be laughed at and would explode.

"You knew he was a crook when you voted for him. Everyone knew."

"And you chose to ignore it because of the racism."

That's my standard response to anyone I catch complaining about Trump's indictment.
They all knew

Steve Willis, Robert Williams, Todd McKeehan, and Conway Charles LeBleu

These were the ATF federal agents murdered in Waco by the Branch Davidian cult when they arrived with a search warrant.
Will Trump mention them?
I doubt it.

Let's make sure folks remember their names today on Twitter and social media.

Remember what Trump said to police arresting people: "Please, don't be too nice,"

Trump outlined a scenario in which a police officer would be careful not to harm a person they are arresting and instructed officers not to worry about that, saying:

“When you guys put somebody in the car and you're protecting their head, you know, the way you put their hand over, like, don't hit their head and they've just killed somebody. Don't hit their head. I said, you can take the hand away, okay?”

Watch your head Donny

Tucker Carlson is doing his best to cost the Murdoch's $1.6 Billion dollars to Dominion.

along with his edited footage of J6 he's again claiming the election was stolen etc.
All the false claims again.
Dominion is getting more ammunition every day.

Is there anything you collect that you feel like you're the only one doing it?

For me it's my collection of letter openers.
Mostly mid 20th century of all kinds of styles, materials
some branded
From back when the daily mail was everything and the main communication or business tool for many

I also have a collection of Old Time Radio premium badges and rings
the send away stuff from the 1930s
sad to say I feel old just looking at it all and I've noticed the markets for them are dying off, literally.

About ZonkerHarris

Nixon was a fucking crook. As a teenager I marched on the UN in 1982 with a million other people demanding we get rid of the threat of nuclear weapons hanging over our heads. Since then I've worked to get Democrats elected like John Aristotle Phillips, known as the A-Bomb Kid when he ran for Congress against Stuart McKinney in CT in the 80's (we lost twice) through the Obama campaign in 2008 and 2012. I want to legalize cannabis, reform our prison for profit system, cut our military budget, get out of Afghanistan and push solar energy panels into every building in the USA.
