Somebody needs to get her to STFU:

Happy Black History Month.

It’s time for reparations. Now.

“I’m not a member of any organized political party…. I’m a Democrat.”
“Democrats never agree on anything, that’s why they’re Democrats. If they agreed with each other, they’d be Republicans.”
“There is only one redeeming thing about this whole election. It will be over at sundown, and let everybody pray that it’s not a tie, for we couldn’t go through with this thing again.And, when the votes are counted, let everybody, including the candidates, get into a good humor as quick as they got into a bad one.Both gangs have been bad sports, so see if at least one can’t redeem themselves by offering no alibis, but cooperate with the winner, for no matter which one it is the poor fellow is going to need it.So cheer up. Let’s all be friends again. One of the evils of democracy is you have to put up with the man you elect whether you want him or not. That’s why we call it democracy.” DT #1953, Nov. 7, 1932
“If you ever injected truth into politics you have no politics” WA # 31, July 15, 1923
“Politics has got so expensive that it takes lots of money to even get beat with nowadays.” DT #1538, June 28, 1931
“Politics pretty quiet over the week-end. Democrats are attacking and the Republicans are defending. All the Democrats have to do is promise “what they would do if they got in.” But the Republicans have to promise “what they would do” and then explain why they haven’t already “done it.”I do honestly believe the Republicans have reformed and want to do better. But whether they have done it in time to win the election is another thing. The old voter is getting so he wants to be saved before October every election year.” DT #1917, Sept. 26, 1932
“This country has gotten where it is in spite of politics, not by the aid of it. That we have carried as much political bunk as we have and still survived shows we are a super nation.” DT #1948, Nov. 1, 1932

In reply to Uh, Clyburn rescued Biden in

I was joking. But it is clearly a factor in both "liking" her, they met her already, etc.

Also,.the progressive media complaining about her record -- did they also do so when Obama appointed her? You know, the president we had who was also a Constitutional lawyer and professor and president of Harvard Law Review, that one?

What wouldn't surprise me is if the progressives complaining about also complained mightily about Obama being a DINO.

I suspect we probably disagree some with how unified the Dem party is; I don't think it is at all, I think it's like two parties.

Edit to add: And I am also getting really close to thinking they are going to fucking kill the Dem party for the foreseeable future, ala Bill Maher's rant, they need to STFU and sit down again, thru Nov. of this year. Really fed up with The Woke, especially, I think they're gonna ruin the last years of my life...Bernie himself, he's a different iind of lefty, he knows how to avoid that Woke religion crap.

Also I am curious where you got the idea that Clyburn was simpatico with "progressives"? I sure haven't. He basically told the whole progressive caucus to sit down and shut up after the Dems lost House seats in 2020, agreed with those blaming progressives for those losses, and was worried they would wreck the Georgia Senate race vote.

Uh, Clyburn rescued Biden in the primary, and the other candidates basically folded with Kamala as the presumed VP candidate. Not a "conspiracy" - known fact. Whether Clyburn expects more is another issue, but the Supreme Court is not far off Biden's path.

It's the SOUTH CAROLINA

It's the SOUTH CAROLINA conspiracy to take over the U.S.A.

When Reagan said it, it was more "during my term I'll put a woman on the court" - 1 of several, and of course women make up half the population, not 13%. Is there an Asian justice, child of Vietnamese immigrants or Afghani or Russian or Sudan? If there's another talented Hispanic judge, do they just skip him or her? Rather unartfully expressed

76% of Americans oppose a racial litmus test for Supreme Court judges. What percentage of Georgetown Law professors voice that view? Where's the Party of Democracy on this non-representative elite space? https://t.co/uCQDI2H7vi

Don't understand - Clyburn is Biden kingmaker, the reason Kamala is VP. Getting a black face on the Supremes is worth getting the wrong kind to him?

NEW: Jim Clyburn is currently making a huge push for Michelle Childs as Biden's Supreme Court pick. As a lawyer, Childs repeatedly defended employers accused of racial and gender discrimination by Black women, and was a partner at an anti-union law firm. https://t.co/62UbE4gERP

Jim Clyburn + Lindsey Graham + progressives at Prospect.org not liking her = a very good bet
