Zandar:

Democrats didn’t lose the sequester fight today. Democrats have spent the last few decades losing the sequester fight. They lost it long before it even began, because they’ve done absolutely no pushback against the notion that government budgets are riddled with colossal amounts of waste, the elimination of which is all we need to have balanced budgets and low taxes and a happy dance around the maypole to celebrate our widespread abundance.

Our “representatives” are afraid of the GOP, afraid to tell them what we want.

Prediction? Our species will die out about 2063 due to Republican delaying tactics.

Maybe it’s because you used bigots, idiots, and sociopaths to win elections for the last 50 years:

Frank Luntz, the media-friendly Republican consultant and word wiz, told a group of college students this week that Rush Limbaugh and right-wing talk radio are “problematic” for the GOP and partly responsible for the stark polarization within the nation’s political discourse. He only dared to speak so candidly about Limbaugh and other conservative hosts off the record. A secretly recorded video, though, captured Luntz’s remark.

Some say we need a renewed, less hateful GOP in the opposition. I say fuck ’em. Let them all be cast into the political darkness for the damage they have done, the lives they have ruined, and the social programs they have destroyed. Fuck all of them.

Sessions – too dumb and too racist to be a federal judge.

This makes me smile:

“Jon Stewart is pretty great at skewering Donald Trump, and Donald Trump is pretty good at typing on an electronic device in order to post a short message on Twitter. Trump struggles in this asymmetrical warfare. On Wednesday, he lowered himself — a major feat in itself — to outing Jon Stewart as a Jew. ‘I promise you that I’m much smarter than Jonathan Leibowitz – I mean Jon Stewart @TheDailyShow. Who, by the way, is totally overrated,” Trump tweeted. He then defended his hair, claiming it is not a wig.” [The Atlantic Wire]
