Are you also becoming reasonable? WTF is happening???

Not really. I'm just realizing the Republicans have reached such a stage of unreason that all you need to gut them is do half measures that everyone thinks is reasonable, and watch as they block that too. It's more tactical than anything.

Left to myself, I'd make gaining citizenship and voting rights in the US an automated thing with a fixed timeframe for certain conditions to be met, after which you're good to request citizenship. Pass whatever backgrounds checks needed and you're done.

All of which I'm sure sounds too extreme, and will continue to if that's what we push for. So you show the suckers some rope to hang themselves. At this point, they're so reactionarily anti-anything a Dem signs on to that you can make them repeatedly shoot themselves in the crotch. I'd enjoy that, is all


I have to agree with everything you just wrote. The House should absolutely rush into legislation a law guaranteeing abortion in those limited terms. And I completely agree that if a National ID card is a voting requirement, above and beyond the driver's license and passport I already possess, then it should be available to anyone who qualifies.

So let's say this law, by some miracle, makes it to the floor of the House and Senate. Can you honestly tell me which party you think will vote for it in higher numbers?
Jesus H. Christ on a cracker, my worldview is being upended.


Hush you..wait till this discussion plays out before you say that.
