(14,255 posts)are my two go to lists for DINOs. Other votes are important, too - remember, part of Pelosi's job is to orchestrate things so that a DINO can safely vote no on something, if there are already enough yes votes, or vice-versa, in case that DINO is up for reelection or something like that.
The sausage-making in Washington DC really is on the same level as when Christopher and Furio disposed of Richie Aprile in Satriale's. And we are all Richie Aprile.
