Err, a lot, especially for those hosting nighttime talkshows, have their content written for them...by... 'writers' of the show.

The kicker: DACA could already be on its way to passage if Congress would go about it honestly, instead of leaving during the meeting to make up crap about the president.
The Dems don't want to deal with this either. DACA is a done deal if they just come to the table. President has pen in hand....
I find it ridiculous that they are trying to spin it.
While I detest Congress, I hold a special place (deep in my bowel) for hating the Democrats in Congress. I thought the crap I saw from the GOP under Obama was insane....this is a whole new low.

Kimmel is one of the few eloquent spokespersons the left has left. He's like a young Bernie Sanders.

The same Jimmy Kimmel who was on The Man Show. A whole show geared towards exploiting and degrading women. Funny how they never mention that.

You are upset that Democrats want bills that are not bloated with a 1000 different issues for political reasons?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, don't you get it? It's not that the Democrats are fighting bills that aren't bloated. It's that they are fighting bills that aren't bloated with their own little pet pork projects!
Don't you see?
The Democrats are all for bloated bills when they get to control the process for themselves, and that's when the other guys fight against bloated bills.
Wake up and smell the total hypocrisy.
No one actually cares about bloat; they only care *who's* bloat it is.

I can't stand it when wealthy entertainers, actors, musicians and politicians tell us how we should think, feel, live and vote. They live in an endless money, privileged, fantasy world.
One of the basic rules of the Senate allows for unlimited discussion and debate. As long as someone wants to talk, discussion on a bill must continue. No vote can be held on a bill until all discussion/debate is closed.
If even one person wants to keep talking, debate on a bill continues.
The only way to make that person stop talking is when 60 Senators vote to end debate. This is called a cloture vote (cloture is from a word meaning to close off or bring to an end).
Cloture used to require a two thirds majority. This was back in the days when filibusters were rare. The cloture requirement was reduced from two-thirds to three-fifths in 1975--a more manageable 60 votes.

the overwhelming of the culturally powerful are very left wing, hollywood, late night, musicians, even the athletes that are outspoken on politics.
Academia is overwhelmingly left wing.
The main stream media is overwhelmingly left wing.
We now are seeing those that control social media are overwhelmingly left wing and seeking to shut down anyone whos not.
Considering Trump won at all is amazing.

Yeah but you're forgetting that they can pass something with a simple majority through budget reconciliation. Isn't that how they almost repealed Obamacare when McCain cast the deciding "No" vote (51 no's to 49 yes's)? And isn't that how they just passed the Republican tax plan, 51 to 48?
