Sweet!

Disgusting, but at the same time - such sweetness! Have two scoops, Moochy!

Standing there, looking straight at him, trying to loom over him (figuratively).

Close proximity. Hands folded. Looks like his chin is down - which means his face is slanted such that his EYES are full forward. Looks as though he's leading with his eyes. Like a stink-eye. Like when a bull hunkers down, ready to charge. NOT leading with the chin. Leading with your eyes. Looking straight through his eyebrows at you, and heavier eyebrow presence can be read as meanness or toughness or anger or aggression. He's trying to bully McCain. Or make him feel extra shitty and worried about repercussions.

Psy ops, and from everything I've read about McConnell, he's an expert tactician - which means he knows a lot about psy ops. Domination, perceptions of toughness and/or bullying. Menacing. IMPLIED menacing. Body language tells you a lot. He's in a fighting stance, quiet and contained (he's not shaking fists or yelling with eyes bulging and maybe leading with his chin, such as it is). But ready to do damage or maybe musing over any number of ways to punish McCain for the way he voted.

Just look at the body language. The woman in the ochre jacket who's level-faced and watching McCain - her chin isn't down, the guy straining to see behind her, the guy seated between them looking straight ahead, the bearded guy who also seems to be looking at McCain fairly level-faced.

Either McConnell is hanging his head in disgust and disappointment and pondering his failure - the one with HIS name on it as Senate Majority Leader, or he's looking daggers at McCain for having "failed him".

Revenge bigly served cold.

John McCain's an odd one. So many times I expect him to do the wrong thing, and then he'll do the opposite.

Indeed. Back when we held our heads high.

I was so damn proud of that.

No words. Just no words.

Sounded like a lot of them did.

BSA's Facebook page is MOST satisfying reading this evening.

Welcome to DU, Meowmee!

Or - when they go low, we go high - and shit right on their heads.

Oh really? Thom Hartmann's not on the air here anymore.

I enjoyed listening to his show. What did he say?

July 26, 2017

Impressive!

Following her now.

Welcome to DU, extvbroadcaster!

Indeed. "Now he will go back to his great healthcare and let the chips fall where they will." They're not only the "IGMFU" Party ("I Got Mine, F-U&quot , they're the "Sucks to Be YOU" Party.

Damn. Shame on him. Shame on them all.

July 26, 2017

Especially considering the beautiful worry-free health care of which he's just taken FULL advantage.

MAN. TRULY the IGMFU party. "I Got Mine, F-U."

Shame on him. And his surgical scars haven't even healed over all the way.

SHAME on him.

About calimary

Female. Retired. Wife-Mom-Grandma. Approx. 30 years in broadcasting, at least 20 of those in news biz. Taurus. Loves chocolate - preferably without nuts or cocoanut. Animal lover. Rock-hound from pre-school age. Proud Democrat for life. Ardent environmentalist and pro-choicer. Hoping to use my skills set for the greater good. Still married to the same guy for 40+ years. Probably because he's a proud Democrat, too. Penmanship absolutely stinks, so I'm glad I'm a fast typist! I will always love Hillary and she will always be my President.
