Hey, that's my husband! Hi!

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
The real trouble with the nuclear option is that it destroys the only hiding spot for moderates within the republican party. When it becomes a straight up/down vote on every issue, then the swing voters have a lot more pressure on them. Because, like, they might swing.

Watch: soon road projects in Maine and Arizona will be funded. They'll change their minds about closing the Portsmouth Shipyard. It'll be a whole big bribery thing.

There's a passport season?
Well, it's spring, and I'm assuming that people are planning vacations for the summer. Either that, or this city has been ordered to evacuate to Canada and nobody told me, because there were a hell of a lot of people there getting passports.

Of course the Republicans are backing off the term "nuclear option". Since it's a product of this administartion, we all know it was really a "nuke-yular option" that was referenced.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Jesse, don't laugh at me. Just tell me where to get the paper.

There was something else I meant to do, but now I've forgotten.
