    Maybe his Stay poor comment was about himself and that he was humbly admitting that like himself, Liberals should follow Christ’s example and sell all of his material possessions?

    I think this is a noble sacrifice he made to prove that material wealth isn’t important to his christian values.

    Spot on. For years I had my self worth valued based on the women I was with/dating.

    After a divorce and string of bad relationships/breakups, I realized the issue was, largely, because of me. I wasn’t focused and invested in myself enough to be comfortable without a partner in my life. Which made me desperate, and that comes across and attracted the wrong sort of women to me, as well as kept my self worth artificially low so I allowed myself to be abused by others in the relationships.

    Spend time on yourself and being comfortable being alone. Be happy alone first. Then look for opportunities to meet people who can enhance your happiness, but not be the source of your happiness, if that makes any sense. That’s how good relationships work I finally learned.














  • For sure. It’s not exclusive to Mitch.

    But Mitch was the architect.

    He’s the reason the far right got 4 SCOTUS picks, instead of the 2 they should have if they played “fair”.

    Mitch also was the architect for filling all the judicial vacancies in the federal courts with other far right partisan judges.

    He’s also the architect for the current state of the GOP, and was responsible for most of the Government shutdowns in the last 20 years. Him lamenting this potential shutdown is laughable, to put it mildly.

    He’s been doing this since at least 2010 when the GOP shifted their strategy away from advancing their democratic platform, and instead winning by fuckery like gerrymandering, blocking all bills in the Senate (as he was the majority leader for around a decade) that might advance the Democrat roadmap/agenda, and then immediately turning around and blaming democrats for the bill his party just blocked.

    Mitch is the reason why the GOP is kept in line today.

    His departure from politics, forced or otherwise, will have a huge impact on the GOP. There isn’t another person in their group that can hold all the different groups together and keep them focused on making democrats appear to look bad, like Mitch.

    As much as I hate the guy (and boy, do I), he’s a masterful politician. I mean that as the damning insult it’s meant to be.
