"McConnell isnât toying with Democrats to test the limits of their appetite for humiliation; heâs doing it because he senses that itâs bottomless."
perceptive point from @brianbeutler https://t.co/sLlPmTw9qG
when *Max Baucus and Ben Nelson* are saying "forget about bipartisanship" but are ignored anyway, it shows a problem of character, namely cowardice

The, âhow do we fix thisâ is perhaps the most important question we face as a country. To the extent that it can be fixed, it starts with framing and language used to describe the problem/solution. The âdeprogrammingâ and âbrainwashedâ verbiage has to be eliminated. 1/
No one is receptive to finding âcommon groundâ when the starting point of the person who claims to desire common ground is telling them theyâve been brainwashed, and that they need to be âdeprogrammedâ. 2/
This plays into the âTotalitarianâ narrative that Tucker Carlson is propagating, even going so far as using the âdonât believe your own eyesâ to reinforce the narrative. 3/
Of course, this is exactly what occurred during Trumpâs presidency. Basically, itâs another attempt to confuse and distract with moral/false equivalency. 4/
In the past, the Right attempted to excuse Trumpâs pathological dishonesty with allegations of the Left lying: if everyone is lying, then no one is lyingâŚâŚbecause lying is normalized.
Great analysis. Now, what do we do about it. Do we need to \u2018reprogram\u2019 minds of those who\u2019ve fallen into a veil of deception? Do we treat these folks as cult victims? When it is a group narcissism, folks have to \u2018kill off\u2019 a part of themselves to escape, not easy recovery.

...or 2), a combination of: everything is a lie, therefore nothing is a lie\u2026.that lying is a necessary tactic to win or to compete against evil enemies (Libs/media) who are lying,\u2026or that they\u2019re in a Darwinian fight for survival where lying is a law of the political jungle.13/

We're understandably focused on bills/laws being proposed/passed to restrict voting and which hurt election integrity in several states, but we should be paying particular attention to what is happening in TX, right now. /1
In a late night vote, the TX senate just passed SB7, which puts significant restrictions on voting, in a state where it's already harder to vote than almost anywhere else.
TX SB7 prohibits efforts by election officials to encourage or educate voters about early and mail voting options. It even requires those who need to vote by mail due to disability to provide a gov't document or a doctor's attestation that they are "disabled." /3
TX SB7 outlaws drop boxes and further limits early voting, and disenfranchises any voter whose ballot is delivered by anyone other than herself or by mail. If an elderly voter's spouse delivers the ballot by hand to election officials, that ballot "may not be counted." /4
TX SB7 allows ONLY partisan "watchers" the ability to roam anywhere they want in polling places, regardless of the work poll workers are doing, and use wireless devices in voting locations. No one else would have this power. /5

The Texas Senate just voted to limit Texans' voting options. Senate Bill 7, a GOP priority, would limit early voting hours, prohibit drive-thru voting and bar local election officials from proactively sending vote-by-mail applications. https://t.co/TVMHYE3yOD

Today I hired a virtual personal assistant to go through my emails and pay lingering bills and follow up on various invoices and make my doctors appointments and mail several things and guys
why have i not been doing this the whole time it took her three hours and it was $70.
this is the life hack i did not know i needed as an absolutely drowning and burnt out millennial who cannot figure out how to just open an envelope and pay a bill because it drains me of my will to live
I have finished my day and i am completely caught up, signed up for paperless and recurring billing, have mailed a dozen thank you cards I wrote and just ... never took to the post office, and gathered my tax information to submit.
like, why didn't anyone tell me.
you can find bonded, experienced people who do this for a living on https://t.co/4OpHGkl8Nq and they charge between 15 and 25 dollars an hour. I have canceled a variety of online memberships I don't use enough so that I can pay her to come back every other week. I am thrilled.
Props to my mother who looked at my "here's the box I put shit I can't bare to deal with right now" box and said "Have you considered hiring a personal assistant? They are cheaper than you think."
BLEW MY GD MIND.

Hewitt, you hollowed-out little fucksquib, you've crossed the only rubicon that truly matters here. In your transparent attempt to cater to the beshitted and bespittled deplorati who easily squee at any half-ass trope that imagines decadent and vile elites, you have wantonly...
...slandered me through a linkage to this Hollywood locale. If you ever get a single, lonesome fact correct in your entire fecal-flecked career of rote hackery -- and that is an ambition to exceed your entire skillset -- know this: I live and work in Baltimore, Maryland, where...
...the citizenry make a point of pausing in our routine of nightly intramural violence and disorder whenever we catch the scent of a true and enduring piece of shit edging over the city line, whereupon we close ranks and hunt that low fucker en masse, bag him live...
...then barter him off in pieces for crack vials and bags of Utz crab chips. So, yes, you dumb scrotelicking welp of a mediawhore, stay where you are or keep hunting for me in West L.A. because Baltimore is not your speed, as facts and reality are not your domain.
Gentlemen like you that give Hollywood it\u2019s reputation for kindness, graciousness and grace that marked Grant, Stewart, Astair, so many more. Continue to demonstrate that these days art requires rage and blinding anger mixed with a joy in displaying ignorance. Friend of Harvey\u2019s? https://t.co/vFTfRdP7qv
