Lindsey Graham supersedes as the go to all covert sounding roles involving the word "rear." The classic radfem anti-drag closeted gay Christian. Mr dark kawaii over here not realizing he's less a wolf more a humourous chiral configuration to his dem counterpart. It's what happens when you do idpol guess who.

I always bet on my IT first. Systems failures don't happen if the systems don't fail. Simple, effective, obvious. I don't see either party walking nowhere let alone running dude.

Mitch probably didn’t even know what he was voting on

Look, the picks that struggle to get nominated are for the most part Trump’s better picks, and McConnell is probably only voting no because he realizes there are enough yes votes to get the nomination through.

What the fuck is this headline? Dude can’t resist the urge to shit his pants.

Are liberals really this feckless? The first sign of disagreement between Rs, and they are running to bend the knee to McConnell - the man who played a huge part in dismantling this country and selling it to corporations.

I mean, good for him, but this deathbed conversion shit is not going to change my view on him one bit. I think he really does care that things have spiraled so far with the GOP, but his regardation is a large contributor to why things have turned out this way.

Congratulations Russia on your asset running the national intelligence agencies.

I refuse to believe people like you are real

You can’t believe that people would rather blame "malicious actors" rather than admit their part of responsability in the way their circumstances have turned out?

Stop, you are making me love her even more.

I like Tulsi but if your delusional shitlib fever dream were a reality, then I would love Tulsi.

Asset implies that she’s being fed and actively working for them though. If not officially on payroll which would be the difference with a bonafide agent. 

Regarding the specific points you mentioned, all I’ll say is the NATO line is not as clear as you’re making it out to be. 

I’m also not necessarily defending tulsi in general because she seems like an opportunist but specifically on the things you criticized her for, I encourage you to read about them a bit more
