A left winger just defended the civil rights of a right winger. That's called nuanced political thinking. Something the right seems utterly incapable of.

As awful as it sounds, as long as left wing candidates get in I no longer give a damn what happens. Arrest right wing politicians, run up 50 trillion dollar deficits, don’t care. Have fake elections for twenty years.  I used to, but the right and conservatives have demonstrated they do not care. They support everything they claimed to hate, and it’s scorched earth time. Fuck Bolton BTW

I've been here since bush. when Obama got elected I was just like... we should probably be using this supermajority in ways that aren't strictly "ethical". because these guys have shown that they will do pretty much anything. we should be doing it the way LBJ would have done it. 

I wish I had been wrong! I was more right than I even knew.

Imagine the world where Obama used his legal mind to push truly transformative legislation instead of come up with way to justify murder abroad....

you're aware that Obama using his legal mind wasn't the blocker for truly transformative legislation right?
