But I thought he "made lesser states squirm" while "enjoying a good brew" in his fringe vest and his cowboy hat.

Cornyn under fire from GOP as criminal justice reform falters

Quote

John Cornyn is facing a grievous insult during a last-ditch effort to pass criminal justice reform: Senate Republicans can’t trust their own whip’s count.

The Texas Republican and Senate majority whip has worked on the issue for years and is trying to win over the National Sheriffs’ Association in the latest effort to build more GOP support.
Yet Republicans pushing the sentencing and prison reform bill privately and publicly say he’s essentially undermining the push by not accurately assessing support for it or supporting it himself, a charge Cornyn rejects.
....

I first learned he was a turd (well, besides noticing that R behind his name) when he became the Texas AG and my ex-wife, who worked in the State Law Library at the time, constantly bitched about how he and his office never returned their checked-out books on time.

I'd love to see Beto run against him in 2020, but I think it would still be the same result as the Cruz campaign. 

The 2 million plus voters who vote in 2020 who did not vote in 2018 will come almost entirely from urban and suburban areas.

That should be prison time right there.

Who will the Dems run against him?

Allow me to reintroduce: MJ Fucking Hager
Watch the whole thing

The moment where you see John Cornyn in his Nudie suit from the Big Bad John video and she says "weakness" cracks me the fuck up

I used to think he was okay back when he was on the supreme court.  Now, not so much.

What happened to him is what happens to a lot of em.

Step 1 -- they become a political animal, driven solely by ambition.

Step 2 -- they realize that the best path to serve that ambition is to suck up to people who can move you up the ladder of power.

Step 3 -- any principles or dedication to public service they might have had is trampled underfoot to the point of non-existence, as they run to suck the right dick to give them a leg up.

Once you decide that power is the point, it's all over.

They called not too long ago, I was surprised it was a real live person and not a machine. They wanted to know if they could count on my vote. I was a little taken aback mostly due to it being a person, so my reply was, "Hell, no." I think I am now on a list. Probably a different list than what I was prior to their call.

It wasn't a bad idea for Chamberlain to go to Munich and sign that agreement back in 1938 being that Hitler was going to ethnically cleanse the Jews anyway.

He has become so out-of-touch with the Republicans that provide the winning margin in this state (i.e., white college-educated suburbanites) that this has the chance to be competitive.  I really think Cornyn is going to be a disaster on the campaign trail.

I wanna believe but, ultimately, no.  Rubes gonna rube and when it comes to nut cuttin'' time, they'll vote R b/c  "socialism" or some such bs.

And just to be clear, this isn't part of a non-interventionist policy of bringing our troops home from the Middle East, we're just moving them to different parts of the Middle East, while sending additional troops to Saudi Arabia.

 

Thanks for fighting ISIS with us, Kurds. Good luck with the genocide.

That's exactly what happened in 2004, among others (using that one because we're in a situation very much like that, if not worse). Everyone and their fucking mother knew that a second W term was absolutely stupid, but they did it anyways because "I don't know if I'm comfortable with John Kerry," whatever the fuck that even meant.

They talk a good game about how the R's are deeply flawed and all that, but then they start getting into the two games that they never could play well: 1) lesser of two evilism and 2) completing syllogisms. That inability to play said games is what drove many of them to say, as Dennis Prager once did of the 2016 election, "if I come to two doors and one says "man-eating lion," and the other says "maybe a man-eating lion," I will choose to open the latter," the implication being that Hillary is the man-eating lion and that Trump might be one. Totally ass-backwards, but that's what they run with because at the end of the day, it's team-sportsism with those people and "Go Red, Boo Blue" and that's all they fuckin' know.

he really is the biggest disappointment. i voted for him in 2014. i will not be making that mistake again. he's gone joyfully into crazy trumplandia.

maybe i had a hood over my eyes in the previous election years about what he was about, but he seemed like a decent enough representative for texas, had a strong reputation for constituent services.

now, he's a fucking shitheel and i hate him. it's so strange what the republicans have become, or, i guess, what they always were and what i've become?

i dunno. it's a confusing time.

It's the latter. They've just forgotten how to lie in order to sell their "message."

Plus, people know too much now. In Reagan's time, it wasn't nearly as well established that Trickle Down Economics and Peace Through Strength are just  sideshow grift jobs the way that it is now, even though they're the exact identical policies that produce the exact identical results for the exact identical people. I believe there's some old saying about "fool me once..."
