Could Tweety let us enjoy this victory?

He has been obnoxious in the post-election show. Attacking Karine Jeanne-Pierre from Move On and letting that gop strategist Brabender (?) set the expectations for how Doug Jones should vote with the gop in order to be re-elected in 2020. She did her best but it is hard to make a point with two asshole talking over her.

Halperin's past sexual assaults brings a reminder that he's also a right-wing sycophant...

"Did Mark Halperin Harass Any Of His Conservative Christian Interns?"

"I keep thinking back to a moment in 2006 when Halperin, while promoting The Way to Win, a book he wrote with John Harris, appeared on Hugh Hewitt's radio show and attempted to ingratiate himself with Hewitt and his audience by denouncing mainstream journalism as infested with liberal bias and proclaiming himself unbiased. Near the end of the interview, there was this exchange:
HH: ... The media keeps hiring from the Harvard Crimson. It keeps self-perpetuating from self-elected elites.
MH: Can I introduce you to my interns from Bob Jones University?
HH: I’m glad that you have one. They must feel like a stranger in a strange world.
MH: No, because within my unit, we’re all about being fair and non-partisan. "

"Hugh Hefner damaged countless womens lives. Lets not pretend otherwise"

"Hugh Hefner damaged countless women’s lives. Let’s not pretend otherwise
Civil rights supporter or not, the Playboy icon was a sexual predator, hardly better than Bill Cosby"

Trumps Voter Registration History for those repugs who deny he is a Republican

He ran as a Republican, he won the Republican Nomination for President, he sits in the Oval Office as a Republican. He is a Republican and one whose loyalty is only to himself.

From the Washington Post in November 2015 https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2015/11/07/donald-trumps-got-a-particularly-strange-voting-history/

"And then we introduce Donald Trump. In a weird political world, Trump's voting history probably stands out. Donald Trump first registered to vote at Trump Tower in 1987, a few years after the building was completed. Since then, according to The Smoking Gun, he's been a Republican three times, a Democrat once, a member of the Independence Party once and, for a brief period, had no party identification at all."

"Curious about how often he actually voted, we reached out to New York-based political consulting firm Prime New York which has an updated list of voter behavior in the state. They provided The Post with Trump's history, back to his first registration. During that time, Trump voted in 18 of 28 general elections -- missing seven during the third-year races. He's voted in two of the 11 primaries he could have -- both of those in which he could have voted since 2010. He could have voted in two special elections, too, but didn't."

Is McCain senile or drunk?

He is confusing the Clinton email investigation with the Russian-Trump investigation. He keeps saying Comey when he means to say Trump.
