    Yeah, that was wild. I didn’t think my respect for him could get much lower, but he managed to sink below the bar.

      Ever hear about the Baileys?

      Dude made tulpas of moderate republicans because he evidently needed more encouragement to move to the right than he was already getting, and actual moderate republicans are extinct.

        Okay, so I saw people making fun of “the Baileys” in relation to him and tried to guess what it was about from context. But now that I’ve looked into it…

        Whew, this man is significantly more cooked than I realized. Explains his politics, though.

          Chuck lies as easily as he breathes, but he has no reason to lie about what’s going on in his head, particularly when saying you hear voices in your head has a stigma to it. I’ll take him at his word on this. Far as I’m concerned, Chuck Schumer is a committee. Ok, I’m fine with that. Let’s look at it from that perspective. The committee members are two married republicans and a centrist democrat who wants to be their friend and is ok with being used. I don’t think this committee is going to have many decisions I agree with, even if their spokesperson is nominally a democrat.
