    This guy almost singlehandedly eliminated the public option for healthcare in this country.

    For that he can get fucked.

          If you have no margin of error then that’s the way it is. Every vote can be a veto.

          What’s really interesting is how the bar was 60 votes when this was happening but it’s now 50 votes due to massive watering down of veto power in the Senate.

        Obits are usually written years before someone dies. What is included and not included is on purpose. Obit writer is a full time job for big papers. A good obit writer has a massive trove of them written about living folks. Its not (currently) a bot thing.
