An inkling, perhaps a scintilla. Or a jot?
We should bash Flake and Corker, we should just bash the rest of their caucus more.

Not long, when itâs to affirm the Senateâs support for National Cheese Week or whatever. They do that stuff all the time.

Yes and no. Cotton and Inhofe are disgusting sacks of shit that would slit a childâs throat for fun if they thought they could get away with it. The difference is, they donât pretend to be otherwise.
Meanwhile, Flake would sharpen the knife and hold the kid downâŚand then complain about how we should reconsider considering the consideration of whether or not slitting a childâs throat should be tabled for consideration of possible considering.

At long last, have you no sense of decency? How DARE you embrace jocularity regarding what Clifton Fadiman once called âmilkâs leap to immortality.â
Time for pistols at dawn, sir!
Remember that McConnell canceled at least part of the summer recess because he didnât want Democratic incombents to be available to campaign locally for re-election.
McConnell canceled 3 weeks of the summer recess, so the Senate is expected to be in Washington for most of August, The Hill reported.
But thatâs as of the 15th and may have changed.

Theyâve been stewing in their own coyness and stupidity, no doubt â but what did you think of Goldwater in the early '60s?
The measure, introduced on Wednesday [by Flake and Coons], would support the intelligence communityâs assessment of Russian election interference days after Trump voiced skepticism about Moscowâs election interference. [âŚ]
âIt is purely a symbolic act and what we need to do is ⌠do the hard work that senators have to do through the regular order,â Cornyn said from the Senate floor.
Someone please wake me when Cornyn begins to do this âhard workâ that he says âwe need.â
And speaking of being woken up, hereâs a resentful George Will:
âWe shall learn from special counsel Robert S. Mueller IIIâs investigation whether in 2016 there was collusion with Russia by members of the Trump campaign. The world, however, saw in Helsinki something more grave â ongoing collusion between Trump, now in power, and Russia. The collusion is in what Trump says (refusing to back the United Statesâ intelligence agencies) and in what evidently went unsaid (such as: You ought to stop disrupting Ukraine, downing civilian airliners, attempting to assassinate people abroad using poisons, and so on, and on).â

I know. Itâs like the prodigal son. We see them all sinning, and then Flake comes home, seemingly contrite and ready to be our servant, and we make a big fuss over him, and put together a big feast and he doesnât show up and trails in at 11 saying he met up with some friends and he lost track of time, sorry, wonât happen again, and then the same damn thing happens two more times and itâs like FINE I GIVE UP OUT OUT OUT. Even if the other ones are worse, they havenât disappointed us by raising our hopes.

It seems like Helsinki was that extraordinary evidence for many people.

Not completely. This little nugget:
âŚwhat happens when you wage war on objective reality for nearly two solid years, calling real things fake and fake things real, as if conditioning others to embrace the same confusion
These pigfuckers have been doing it to the public at large for decades. This phenomenon didnât take hold in just a couple of years.
And Fake Flake himself is a teabagger who made his name lying about Obama. He can go fuck himself.

Did anyone click through to the The Hill article and see how forked tongued Cornyn blocked it?
I agree that committees âought to be permitted to call the witnesses and ask the hard questions and develop the recordâ which is why we need a Democratic Congress to do what Republicans canât or wonât.
But Cornyn objected, saying senators should focus on passing new sanctions legislation and warning that they should work through the committee process.
âIt is purely a symbolic act and what we need to do is ⌠do the hard work that senators have to do through the regular order,â Cornyn said from the Senate floor.
He added that committees âought to be permitted to call the witnesses and ask the hard questions and develop the record before we go on record as to a resolution like this.â
