Let's just establish this now so we don't wind up squabbling over terminology afterwords:
If the U.S. initiates a military conflict with Greenland, the U.S. military will succeed in that military conflict.
But it will be wrong (false, untrue) to refer to that success as a "win" or a "victory."

The idea that Mitch McConnell was a successful obstructionist is a pop-culture myth that needs to die. He largely failed; the ACA passed, Obama became a two-term POTUS. Where he DID succeed, it was because he had *bipartisan* aid from the anti-Obama centrist Blue Dog Dems — remember them?

That is a special kind of stupid.
"What did Democrats do about Trump's coup" well hundreds of people went to prison, Trump was impeached, and Trump was indicted but a few corrupt federal judges helped keep him out of prison.
Any other questions?

Ppl like the quoted poster here treating Republicans like a force of nature instead of people making choices they should be held accountable for is a big part of how we've gotten here
The problem with this analogy is that; rather than cockroaches, the Republicans 'in the house' are your roommates. They're real people, with agency and lives.

If elected Dems start from "every last Republican is a traitor and if we get back in power, they'll all hang," we are unlikely to see anything positive happen within the next 4 years.
You don't generally telegraph these things when you need to move your opponents forward one step at a time.

Yes, Democrats should do 👇💯. Yes, every one should be calling for immediate impeachment & removal.
And, guess what? If every one of them did that, it <still wouldn't happen> until <Congressional Republicans do their damn jobs>. Thune, Johnson, & co. get total free passes every day. It's maddening.

People are going to try and lure you into debates about whether Maduro was a good guy or not and the thing is, it doesn’t matter for the purposes of discussing whether violent kidnappings and extrajudicial murders by the US government are ok. No, they aren’t! End of convo.

honestly, “it’s because they’re still mad about the New Deal” is a pretty good guiding hypothesis for a lot of stuff
The standard story was that 1950s religious revivals were about contrasting America with the godless commies of the USSR, but I found material that hinted at an older well funded campaign that reframed the revival as a corporate pushback against the New Deal.
So I followed that unexpected thread!

Happy Hanukkah to our friends who celebrate. Rachel Posner, a rabbi’s wife in Kiel, Germany, took this photograph in 1931 -- a potent reminder that fascism must be fought in every generation, even if it's wrapped in an American flag and a red hat.

The ACA isn't just "health care for people who don't have a conventional employer." It also disallows something that was incredibly common 20 years ago, which I fear is getting lost to generational memory: insurance companies could deny you health care for essentially any previous health problem.
