Tweety is having a complete meltdown on the air.

He seems to think the Democrats can stop the republicans from approving a new SC Justice, and he won't listen to anyone trying to reason with him. He's making a real fool of himself.

he is going into total panic mode, much like the rest of us. It is hard to sound reasonable, when you think democracy is on its deathbed.

... isn't always progression whereas Kornaci was asking what could dems do inside the law and Mathews had no answer except dems would be blamed.

I'm tired of being angry and not progressing, I'd like to get answers with my anger.
