Then gives off a creepy chuckle.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Thursday night bragged about blocking President Barack Obamas attempt to fill federal judicial vacancies for two years. Then, he laughed about it as he discussed the Republican Partys effort to stack the courts with conservative judges under President Donald Trump.
I was shocked that former President Obama left so many vacancies and didnt try to fill those positions, Fox News host Sean Hannity said to McConnell.
Obama didnt leave those vacancies so much as he was blocked from filling them by a GOP-controlled Senate led by McConnell something the majority leader was quick to point out.

ll tell you why, he said. I was in charge of what we did the last two years of the Obama administration.

A man who literally puts himself and party first before his own country.

Do you want Republicans to be in charge immediately after a Presidential assassination attempt? You can say goodbye to whatever freedoms we have left.

Mr. McConnell prevented a lot of terrible bills from being passed and I thank him for that. Sadly, he didn't give it his all since the much disliked Obamacare managed to slip by. Have your premiums gone up?
Is this you finally admitting you're yet another DE knockoff?

This is exactly where Obama went wrong and why he couldn't enact a new New Deal. He had a huge coalition, huge buy in from new voters and black voters. He had exactly what you need to blast through cynical obstruction by weilding that movement as a weapon. He should have had people storming the capitol, ringing every Republican's phone off the hook, shaming McConnell and all other Republicans into oblivion. Instead, he won and dismantled his movement and tried to win with a business as usual, Washington only approach. And our institutions are so geared toward slowing things down and give the minorities huge advantages if they are willing to use them. So he got almost completely stalled.

Bernie fully understands this and so does Warren to a lesser extent. McConnell was allowed to get away with this strategy because Obama didn't understand the importance of taking your coalition to Washington so opponents can't just block you with no consequences.

This isn't to absolve Mitch. He's a truly evil actor in modern politics who is doing immense damage to our country in terms of institutions and in terms of policy. But there's a way to at least attempt to bring outside pressure to break up the logjam and it must be done or an Obama style presidency is the best case scenario.

as soon as we stop the religious talk about people being evil we can start to get something done in politics. people aren't monsters. religion teaches you that people can be inherently sinful, can go against the will of some invisible, almighty god, and basically be monsters. it's no wonder we have a word for this called demonization, which means making someone into a demon. it's disgusting how religious people try to assault the character of human beings who have human rights.
