As I was drifting off to sleep mh said he thought we just started a war with Iran. He has a tendency towards hyperbole, so I thought not a lot of it. Come in here. He was not being hyperbolic. Fuck.

I don't even know where to start with this. Ben Rhodes' head has got to be exploding. After everything he went through with JCPOA. Then we pull out for no good reason. And do jack all in return. And now these assholes provoke a possibly nuclear Iran.

I have to go to bed but we probably need to start a war with Iran thread. This is terrifying. This is a really good idea. We probably aren't the only ones trying to follow this mess. I made a thread. Although it might just resort in us getting accused of hysteria again 🤷♀️

How many is this now? It's a lot, right? There's got to be some sort of strategy behind this. It's too...something.

I really want to believe that's all it is. They are asshats and they should go. But 30? At once? Because they don't want the negative consequences of their cowardice? It's too coordinated (that's the word I was searching for).

McTurtle: The damage has been done by the Dems. It's the Seante's turn now, to "render sober justice".

Not sure who was presiding today but I'm guessing it's a rookie who drew the short straw and had to come back to town early. The presiding senator would need direction from the clerk on procedure.

Not entirely politics related, but apparently this happened on Project Runway last night and I cannot wait to get home and catch up:

And Brian Kolb (R-NYS assembly minority leader) is out. He put out some lengthy statement about driving sober a few days before NYE then promptly got arrested for a DWI on NYE night. He's stepping down. Byeeeeeeee boi.
ETA he's only stepping down as minority leader, not resigning. Boooooooo

Because history has a cruel sense of humor, on this day 19 years ago Hillary Clinton was sworn in as the first First Lady Senator.
