“Slaughter is the operative word.”
Right - it’s the Slaughter of America - and don’t you doubt it. As long as we’re defining terms, that is way more negative than ‘reconciliation’ and akin to nuclear option. Hey, I know these things have specific meanings, but that’s not the way the (idiot) media game is played, is it...
“akin to nuclear option.”
MAD(mutually assured destruction) also works in politics. So far the Republicans have backed away from the brink. I’m not sure the Pelosi, Obama camp is that smart.
