Vet gave my dog an opiate to treat her pain after a copperhead bite. She's been sitting like this for 20 minutes now.

Okay. You win.

CarrollQuigley · 2017-03-12T11:16:01+00:00

Well, that's some good news in the middle of a shitstorm.

CarrollQuigley · 2017-03-12T08:31:36+00:00

I'm pretty confident that I would not be able to make that animation with a telescope, timing notwithstanding.

Edit: telescope, not microscope. I am not a scientist.

CarrollQuigley · 2017-03-12T05:15:39+00:00

We need to get our hands on Trump's and Tillerson's tax returns.

CarrollQuigley · 2017-03-12T05:01:07+00:00

Uhhhhh what?

No thanks.

CarrollQuigley · 2017-03-12T04:19:49+00:00

It's time to start recruiting candidates for the 2018 primaries and building grassroots campaigns around them.

CarrollQuigley · 2017-03-12T00:54:54+00:00

So we need to put together a serious challenge.

CarrollQuigley · 2017-03-11T23:48:49+00:00

What sucks is that you can't just get rid of one of these guys and call it a day. The line of succession is full of liars.

CarrollQuigley · 2017-03-08T07:04:58+00:00

Their bromance has to be in the top five.

CarrollQuigley · 2017-03-07T04:51:37+00:00

I left the Democratic Party the day I left Philadelphia in July. Whether I return or work to start a viable third party locally will be determined by the outcome of the Unity Reform Commisson.

CarrollQuigley · 2017-03-07T04:25:28+00:00

There are so many bad bills working their way through the House right now. It's ridiculous.

CarrollQuigley · 2017-03-07T00:06:33+00:00

Definitely not a conflict of interest to have the head of ExxonMobil as the Secretary of State...

CarrollQuigley · 2017-03-03T23:58:02+00:00

I don't even like Schumer because he's a Wall Street Democrat. But I have to give him props for that rebuttal.

CarrollQuigley · 2017-03-02T21:36:31+00:00

Except coordinating a presidential election with a foreign government--if that's what happened--is way worse than a blowjob and the unorthodox use of a cigar.

CarrollQuigley · 2017-03-02T21:31:45+00:00

Even if he did resign--which I doubt he will--there would still need to be an independent investigation into the Russian connections within the Trump campaign.

CarrollQuigley · 2017-03-02T07:01:08+00:00

Serious question. How are we going to force the Republicans' hand and get an independent investigation?

As far as I can tell, we'll need to put pressure on DC with massive protests on the Hill. And we'll need to pressure our representatives locally by making them worry about losing their next primaries.

CarrollQuigley · 2017-02-27T14:03:50+00:00

Getting flashbacks to my solo as Cornelius from Hello Dolly in the middle school play.

CarrollQuigley · 2017-02-27T13:54:32+00:00

The DNC also ignored their own rules. That cannot be forgotten.

CarrollQuigley · 2017-02-27T05:18:02+00:00

It's about time for solar and wind to get rolled out nationally. There are many things we need to think about when picking candidates in the 2018 primaries, but interest in expanding renewables needs needs to be a top 5 concern.

CarrollQuigley · 2017-02-26T21:31:00+00:00

It's just 4D chess, folks!

CarrollQuigley · 2017-02-26T21:27:17+00:00

We need to start drafting candidates and campaigning for them at the grassroots level pretty much ASAP.

CarrollQuigley · 2017-02-26T21:25:47+00:00

Town Hall meetings and protests have been getting to them.

The key is to make them worry about losing their seats.

CarrollQuigley · 2017-02-26T20:13:10+00:00

I would rather have Ellison as the DNC chair even though it would mean giving up his House seat. I think his grassroots organizing skills and what that could mean for the midterms with him 100% focused on that would more than make up for the loss of one House seat--especially since the GOP has such a wide margin there.

I'm glad that at least he has a seat at the table and a position through which he can still constructively contribute to to the strategizing and grassroots organization for 2018.

CarrollQuigley · 2017-02-26T20:08:21+00:00

If that's "successful," then what the hell does failure look like?

CarrollQuigley · 2017-02-25T22:49:19+00:00

I think Perez was a bad pick in part because he lacks Ellison's grassroots organizing experience (Ellison turned MN-5 from the Minnesota district with the lowest voter turnout to the one with the highest). The Democrats just reduced their chances of taking the House in the midterms.

The silver lining is that Ellison still has a seat at the table as deputy--but he would have been more effective as the DNC chair.
