Black coffee:
I actually fear tonight because it will be nastier. I hope not, but I don't have much hope for civility.
We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Laura's take is pretty much my take.
I am officially sick of leftovers from my party. So everything has been put in the freezer except for prosciutto and capicola which I will use to make some sort of pasta tonight.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I didn't watch, but I'm glad to hear Warren did well. I'm a fan. I'm also afraid to get attached, because it's going to be fucking Hillary all over again.

SCOTUS: The court holds that partisan gerrymandering claims present political questions beyond the reach of the federal courts.

Where do you come from? Where do you go? What is your scene, baby? We just gotta know.
Motherfucker.

I didn't watch. 2016 just broke me.

I think that's a solid take. I liked the way Warren answered questions, she seemed very definitive and compelling with an exception for the gun question, but, yeah, I wouldn't call it a misstep, just not as good.
Delaney sounded like Charlie Brown with the Republicans being Lucy and the football. His bit about working in a bipartisan manner to deal with healthcare sounded exactly like Obama's approach with the ADA. I don't see how he is going anywhere.
Klobuchar seemed composed, experienced, and uncompelling. It's hard for me to see her breaking out.
I thought Booker did quite well, and totally agree that he raised his profile.
Castro had good moments, but I don't think getting into the weeds is a good idea. As they say, if you're explaining, you're losing. I don't see what he has over higher-profile candidates though.
Gabbard was totally solid and had great posture, but solid, business-like answers and posture aren't going to make someone stand out.
Yeah, I didn't think O'Rourke did very well.
de Blasio and Inslee, were meh. Not that they had a bad performance, but weren't very compelling.
I don't remember anyone named Ryan.

Damn, SCOTUS. why you gotta hate like that? Darkest damn timeline.

SCOTUS: Census case is affirmed in part, reversed in part and sent back to the District Ct.
ETA: They've sent it back to the District Ct so the Agency can explain it's decision.
