Can Democrats even stop the funding bill from passing in the senate?

It's a big club... And we ain't in it.

They're the only ones who will ever see it. A real life Pretty Woman?

Needs 60 votes.

A couple of months ago I said to a co-worker that I thought we were headed for another Kent St. situation and here we are.  

 

This isn't Kent State.

This is Trumpochet's (Pinochet's) right wing death squads.

Mussolini's brown shirts.

Hitler's Long Knives.

If there's to be a Fascist American Dictatorship with Kaiser Trump...

It has to start somewhere.

This is it.

The R need 8 Dems, and Cortez Masto, Rosen, Kaine and Durbin, who all voted to end the last one, have come out against today (likely as a reaction to the events in Mpls). And that's just *so far*... 

So yeah, there's a pretty good chance it can be stopped in its current form at least.

If their goal is to make people stay quietly at home, I'm not sure they could have done anything less effective than what they did today

That was an execution.  
 

I should say, that was another execution.

Funny juxtaposition in the KKKristi Noem presser.  I'm paraphrasing for effect here:  "We had to kill that punk because America and cops are always right and those who oppose the Will of Trump are going against God's Plan(tm).  Also, snow storm is gonna be a problem because he wishes to punish the people who don't love him or Trump enough and so we will try to help those who do love Trump and God."

Wow, people hate it when the federal government comes in and disrupts their neighborhood and have sincerely held morals and beliefs about right and wrong...

Who knew?

Far too little and late, to be sure.... but it's also a signal about where things are going.

Would Bull Connor have listened in the desegregation era?

Seeing some firearms rights orgs are taking the correct tack on this shooting.  Hearing that from Heather Cox Richardson and seeing that former NRA spokesshill Dana Loesch is calling bad on the claims of the government.  

Maybe that line has finally broken or is under tension. 

I am missing my bi-weekly range time today because of the storm.  It has been weird shooting wearing my Never Trump gear subtly while everyone in the parking lot has those Gadsden Flag license plates.   A good example is my Four Seasons Landscapping hoodie.  Its a deep cut.

Sounds like a South Park episode, doesn't it? Or a Monty Python movie.

Gee, big surprise.

So Bovino’s whole argument is that “he meant to be there”. What does that even mean? Was he supposed to teleport there against his will? These people live in a complete alternate reality and think we are stupid.

Bash is getting some push back for how she handled that interview (she's generally one of the worst Sunday show interviewers, which is saying something)

OTOH there's something to be said in a situation like this where there's a literal video that contradicts every word he's saying, to just let the person being interviewed just hang themselves.
