Carville tells them to roll over and play dead– even though that’s what they’ve already been doing for decades.

Axelrod tells them not to swing at every pitch–we might ask if there was a single pitch hat he ever advised Obama to swing at? And when Democrats like Rep. Green fight fire with fire, Axelrod say it’s “despicable.”

Interviewed by Daily Kos, Democratic House candidate Saikat Chakrabart says “I think what we’ve got is a Democratic establishment and a leadership right now that finds security in doing as little as possible. . .Their approach to Trump has been, ‘Let’s do as little as possible and win off the backlash.’”

In the meantime, Trump and the GOP have succeeded in nearly shutting down democracy entirely.

while he lies, thanks to his obnoxious habit of pushing his face and that snout into our faces as he parrots every vicious, subversive lie spun by Trump.

since it produces plutonium, the most dangerous substance on the planet, which remains deadly virtually forever, and must be safely stored and guarded as long as humankind survives.

By capitulating to the nuclear lobbyists and joining the Republicans in a bipartisan betrayal, Democrats like Sen. Schatz have severely weakened their bona fides on the environment and the survival of the species.

In addition to being the most toxic energy technology, it is also the most expensive, requiring huge government subsidies to be able to function at all. And remember, the Price-Anderson Act indemnifies utilities against any legal exposure for the loss caused by plant accidents. So, if your home becomes unlivable after a nuclear meltdown, forget any legal redress.

I have no idea why Sen. Schatz, who claims to be a climate warrior, would hoodwink the public the way he did on Chris Hayes tonight.

The Democrats’ falling for the nuclear lobbyists’ spin represents a bi-partisan betrayal of America.

The world leaders gathered at the UN today understood as they watched Trump’s stemwinder that he is “stark, raving mad.” That’s what a foreign diplomat texted to Washington Post reporter Ishaan Tharoor. David Edwards at Raw Story reports on Tharoor’s tweet pointing to same.

As the leaders in attendance watched in disbelief, Trump showed them what a real derangement syndrome looks like and the geopolitical risk it poses.

If Biden had delivered this address, there would have been calls for his impeachment before the afternoon was out.

When he’s not shuffling or spazzing, he’s lurching.

The corporate media’s attempts to ignore what is visible to every America will be its ultimate downfall.

This is another example of how muddled the Democrats message is: they play defensive, buy into the right wing’s framing myth-making and hysterical coercion, think that unity should come before decency. The Democrats’ job is to disabuse America of Republican-induced illusions, not to pump oxygen into them.

AOC & 57 other House Dems retained their integrity, remind us of the reality of who Kirk was, someone “Who, after the violent attack on Paul Pelosi, claimed that ‘some amazing patriot’ should bail out his brutal assailant, and accused Jews of controlling ‘not just the colleges, it’s the nonprofits, the movies, it’s Hollywood, it’s all of it.””

Trump’s latest defacement of the presidency.

the way he shuffled through his Britain debacle, strewing lies, gaffes, and complete incoherence wherever he shuffled. Every day that the corporate media ignores Trump’s senility their credibility drops further.

And when it comes, the Democrats are not to excuse, absolve, repatriate the GOP the way they always feel compelled to do. After what we’ve seen, that is nothing but complicity.
