46003. judithathome - 9/10/2015 10:09:21 PM In a significant win for the White House, Senate Democrats have blocked a Republican resolution of disapproval of the Iran nuclear deal from going to a final vote. The vote on the procedural motion was 58-42; it needed 60 votes to pass.
This means President Barack Obama won't be forced to veto the legislation and drag out for several more weeks an ugly battle with the GOP-controlled Congress over the accord he has fought hard to secure.

Ha, one more try
46009. winstonsmith - 9/12/2015 4:16:16 AM Dream Team: Trump/McAfee 46010. winstonsmith - 9/12/2015 4:23:07 AM The (html) dream of the 90's is alive at The Mote. 46011. judithathome - 9/13/2015 9:38:22 PM Hey there...thanks for alerting us about this possible candidate who could easily be Trump's running mate! 46012. iiibbb - 9/15/2015 2:58:10 PM Is Sanders electable? My much more liberal than I MiL disagrees, but damn I like him. 46013. Ms. No - 9/16/2015 4:13:13 PM I'd like to think he's electable, but I seriously doubt it, and at his age, I imagine this is his last chance to be considered. 46014. iiibbb - 9/16/2015 7:00:55 PM Liberals are very studpid, or it's a troll... but someone online was commenting that Hilary is no better than a Republican.
fucking moron.
You could run a tuna sandwich against the current slate of Republicans; they don't even seem to have a junior high understanding of how government checks and balances work. The only one I have affinity for is the guy from Ohio... who apparently has no chance in hell. 46015. iiibbb - 9/16/2015 7:01:26 PM I can't fathom this country. 46016. arkymalarky - 9/16/2015 11:55:03 PM I can't fathom the idiots at that Texas school who after so obviously screwing up suspended that kid who built the clock. If he's looking for a new school, he can come to our school. We would be glad to have such an awesome young man. 46017. iiibbb - 9/17/2015 3:53:40 AM On another site I pointed out that over-reacting school admin is nothing new, and linked to this story but that his color probably didn't help the situation any.
I was immediately accused of displaying white privilege.
Fucking social justice warriors... 46018. iiibbb - 9/17/2015 3:54:36 AM

The mayor of Irving is a wing nut Republican who has tried to convince her constituents that the Muslim community in their town is trying to set up Sharia Law there. A true blonde bimbo of Texas! 46020. winstonsmith - 9/17/2015 6:49:08 PM I watched the debate last night Here are a few thoughts:
1. OMG, Jeb comes across as such a weakling. He seemed like toast before but man, I almost feel sorry for him.
2. I sometimes forget what a annoying ass Huckabee is. Fortunately he didn't get to talk much.
3. I'm not a Rand Paul fan but he had some pretty sane things to say about the Iraq war.
4. Carly may have done well but she seems pretty unlikable to me. Her angry emotional discussion of Planned Parenthood seemed like fake outrage targeting a specific group of voters. 46021. judithathome - 9/17/2015 10:14:47 PM The outrage she expressed about Planned Parenthood was based on doctored, fake tapes...
And much as I hate to admit it, her disclosure about losing a child to drug addiction was meant to hit home with people like me...and frankly, it left me cold....maybe that says more about me than her but it is what it is. Seemed to me to be "opportunistic".
And I say this while feeling the utmost sympathy for Joe Biden...go figure. 46022. winstonsmith - 9/17/2015 11:44:25 PM Judith, I agree. I am a big fan of smart and powerful women but she strikes me as manipulative and unlikable.
