Senator, another fundamental principle of our democracy is accepting the results of an election after you concede...

Sylogism:

Winners are not losers. Gillibrand is not a winner. What is she?

Dear Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.):

Nobody cares what you think. You are in the minority.

Talk to Harry Reid.

Below is the job description for the Secretary of Defense. I’m not sure I understand the logic of the requirement for a waiver as the SOD does not, apparently, exercise direct command. It’s a policy and management job.

This is all setting up nicely for an expansion of our senate majority. Let these idiots continue to oppose Trump’s people and agenda, because in 2018 they are the ones with the outsized number of seats to defend just like we had in 2016. I bet we pick up 6-8 seats easily.

It requires more time for a feminist to think than normal women.

I don't really have a problem with her doing this. The mandatory retirement period was written into law for a reason, so there ought to be a really good reason to waive it.

There's nothing outlandish about a member of Congress who thinks "Donald Trump wants to nominate James Mattis" isn't a good enough reason.

we hear that she prefers someone named Barak Hussein Obama* for Secretary of Defense

*note: his true identity is a secret but this is his last-known alias

Thanks to the Harry Reid Rule (Nuclear Option), no one cares what the Democrats think any more about nominations.
