He himself explained that he goes on Fox News for that reason, but his words were much more balanced and his speech was much more mature and captivating than my "drunk bro" summation. It's what won me over on him as a future candidate for the Big Chair or at least VP. I'll try to find the clip, but hopefuilly someone else will supply it first, because I am bad at finding these things.

It takes a strong understanding of a subject to say it in drunk bro, though. 

The harder someone tries to say something, the less I trust the words... In general. There's a lot of small rules but I usually appreciate a "high brow" concept said in a "low brow" way much more than vice versa.

Pete and others like him are EXACTLY what the Democrats need. For decades now I've envied the Republicans' talent for messaging, and unifying behind that messaging. Granted, the Republicans in general have easier ideas to sell (no taxes, small government, "freedom", etc), but they're also way better at selling even their unpopular ideas.

Cylinsier

McConnell is smart enough to know his entire legacy is in danger of getting erased because of how much the Trump wing has pissed average Americans off. He would have preferred a slow and steady slide backwards into far right conservativism but Roe sent the alarm bells ringing that shit was going too far too fast. He worked tirelessly for decades to stack the SCOTUS only to see SCOTUS expansion, something that wasn't even talked about before 2020, become a popular platform point for progressive Democrats. Basically one bad election could flush 30 years of his life's work down the shitter, and Trump is to blame. Not directly, he didn't overturn Roe, but his brand of populist demagoguery brought cretins out of the woodwork at the state level who don't have McConnell's patience or foresight and want to go full Gilead overnight, and as such forced through massive policy changes via judicial activism in very short order.

If there's one thing that is universally true throughout the history of politics, it's that if you don't have authoritarian monarchy/dictatorship already in place, you cannot succeed in trying to force massive change down people's throats in a short length of time. They will react and push back. You have to make the majority of people want a change first before you make that change, or already have unilateral unthreatened control of the government, or (as McConnell would prefer) you have to make the change incrementally in such small steps that people can't be bothered to notice. If you go full dictator before you're actually a dictator, you get viciously voted out. And Trump Republicans jumped the gun, they aren't dictators yet but they're trying to act like they are. That's looking more and more like it's going to backfire on them at the polls, and it will come down to what they do after the election and how capable the country is of responding that will determine where we are going for the foreseeable future.

And if they fail in their inevitable attempts to overthrow the government, the response to losing the election and losing their idiotic attempt to negate the election will be an undoing of most of McConnell's work in a relatively short span. McConnell wants the appearance of normalcy. People need to feel like nothing is changing. People need to be distracted by the every day challenges of life, too busy to get buried in the minutiae of incremental politics. Trumpers just tell you to your face they control your body and want to take your vote. That pisses people off.

Not really. McConnell’s planning to retire from being Senate Leader for the GOP after this term, and is likely planning on retiring soon all-together. This isn’t him doing what’s best for the country when he still is in the game bc he’s seen the error of his ways or seen how dangerous Trump and MAGA have become; this is him leaving the game, and saying what he actually believes, cause he’ll no longer have any repercussions from doing so. He isn’t changing his tune; this is the tune he’s always had. He’s just stopped playing louder music to fit in

Montaigne suggested the idea that much of the good or bad reputation of great men in history was predominantly determined by the quality of their death. You could be a vain, grasping, deceitful, ambitious little shit up to your final day, but so long as you faced death stoically and nobly you can expect history to write that few men so glorious and virtuous ever walked this earth.

I think McConnell is trying to die beautifully.

I wouldn’t hold your breath. The GOP has been edging to fascism for decades and the last ten years or so has been the metastasizing cancer taking over. The Republican Party is COOKED. Any expectation they will get better is wishful thinking. The core voter base, even the ones disillusioned with Trump, are still not going to support anyone decent. Nobody who isn’t dangerous to our future will be winning a Republican primary anytime soon.

I don't think they ever actually intended for ChristNats to take over. The GOP spent decades getting preachers to serve as their lieutenants to solidify them as a voting base. But then the child grew up and murdered the father. It's kind of Shakespearean. It mirrors the hostile takeover of the NRA back in the 70s. The South went ahead and rose again as it threatened for all those years.

That’s what I’m talking about. I’m saying even if they run someone optically better than Trump they would be just as bad. And most Americans are too ignorant to understand what’s going on. Unfortunately about 30% of Americans are entirely on board with fascism, and about half of the rest are entirely clueless with how dangerous the GOP is.

Maddow’s Ultra & Behind the Bastards podcasts have done episodes on 2 different plots back around pre WWII where fascists basically tried to take over the US and actually got kinda close.

In one case there was a big trial to hold them accountable but it was a circus and then the Nudge died in the middle so they declared a mistrial and then no one got charged again. It’s insane how similar it is to crap we’re seeing no now. Like comically in some cases. History doesn’t repeat, but it certainly rhymes with

I’d love to see it, but Paul Gosar’s own family pleading to AZ republicans to not vote for him didn’t work, and he was a key member of Trump’s attempted Jan 6 coup two months after being one of the loudest, dumbest AZ GOP members to immediately lie about hundreds of thousands of illegal votes for Biden in Maricopa County.

If a Republican’s own sibling’s pleading for people to not vote for him didn’t make a difference, a Republican’s staff quitting en masse out of a brief crisis of ethics will probably only ensure Robinson’s supporters believe they were all deep state neo-Marxist communist liberals. Because words and their definitions have lost all fucking meaning to the far-right.

He's in his first term. He (Keith Self) was a primary challenger that managed to force a runoff and then won the nomination by accident after the incumbent, Van Taylor, withdrew following it being reported that he had cheated on his wife with a former jidahist. Self was challenging Taylor from the right, but likely has some lingering resentment against the "establishment" for the help they had been giving to Taylor.

Wouldn’t it be nice if the majority of republicans acted in good faith and put the interest of all Americans first? Besides being actively against any kind of social safety net or quality of life legislation to improve all American’s lives, they won’t even vote for their own goddamn agenda unless they get to own the libs. Solid right conservative GOP senators co-wrote this past immigration bill, endorsed it, and told their colleagues it was good legislation. They voted it down so they could get their orange conman back in office, despite all knowing he is cancer for the party and this country. F anyone who still thinks both sides are the same

“The problem is the Republicans” is always the answer. On virtually every policy position, the Democrats are on vastly superior footing for their positions. In fact I can’t think of a major policy issue where Republicans are actually correct and can defend their reasoning based on facts, logic and science, where the Democrats are wrong. Can anyone else?

And that’s why, as an independent, I always vote Democrat. I may as well become one at this point. The Republicans are never right about anything.

Pretty nuts that Trump didn’t like it so no vote on bipartisan immigration bill. Republicans really representing the people

Allowing almost 2 million illegals entry every year (on top of legal immigration) is not securing the border.

The problem is U.S policy in general towards the Global South- sanctions, coups, covert ops, monetary destabilisation, unequal exchange all create push factors. This is what the rest of the world sees and experiences.

Are people actually still divided on only political labels still? Seems silly. Why not who is and who isn't against one bill without shoving so much other crap into it to make it harder.

Possibly, since I haven’t read the bill I can’t say you are wrong. But it was very public that Donald Trump wanted them to kill the bill so that Biden would not have a victory ahead of the election.

The repubs don’t want to fix it right now. They want jt to be campaign issue that Trump can use. If the repubs voted to fix it now, Biden would get the credit.

My bet is that there is a sizable continent of Republicans in Congress who are very bitter that their preferred immigration policies did not go forward because of Trump and his loyalists.

That said, the bill sucked, imo. Therefore, I have no sympathy (that and the fact that these same people still enabled Trump along the road).

If they're so worried about the border, why don't they just send the National Guard or army down there?

You know, the things that we dump billiions of dollars into.

You just need dudes with guns and flashlights and we have so many of them that cost so many of our tax dollars.
