Keeping the Power Dry

David Neiwert joins the shrillosphere:

I broke my longstanding policy of not donating money to political parties last fall when the folks from the DNC called and asked for money to help gird them for the upcoming fights over judicial seats. I was assured that indeed they would fight to keep right-wing extremists off the Supreme Court.

And now, faced with a clear-cut extremist (and dissembler) who is about to not only overturn the right to obtain an abortion, but also to pave the path for an imperial executive branch with limitless powers ... nothing.

I'm not terribly inclined, as my readers know, to use profanity in my posts. But if the Democratic Party wants any more of my money, they can just go fuck themselves.

Aaaiii! Ph’nglui mglw’nafh Neiwert R’lyeh wagn’nagl fhtagn! Aaaiii!!!!
As does Gail Collins:

A filibuster is a radical tool. It's easy to see why Democrats are frightened of it. But from our perspective, there are some things far more frightening. One of them is Samuel Alito on the Supreme Court.

Aaaiii! Ph’nglui mglw’nafh Collins R’lyeh wagn’nagl fhtagn! Aaaiii!!!!
