CNN: White House now consulting Debra Messing on policy

She is absolutely annoying.

Between Debra Messing or Kamala Harris, who would you pick?

I don't know what's worse.

The Biden administration including Deb Messing on phone calls.

The White House thinking Deb Messing has any influence among the general population. Do they thinks she's huge on TikTok?

Or that the Biden administration has become so incompetent that it's even lost Debra Messing.

Deb Messing is essential.

The West Wing after calling Debra.

I’m behind you all the way, Joe, but what the fuck was that??

And Deb, honey, stay out of things you know nothing about. Stop acting like an ignorant child.

Qui etait cette cunt?

Billy on the Street: "It's Debra Messing, You Gays!"

Woah!

If zealous, vindictive and psychotic judges can force their will on the American people I'm not going to get too worked up about a Hollywood actress adding her 2 cents. And it's not like she's going to be writing laws.

IT'S DEBRA MESSING, YOU GAYS!!! HOLIDAY EDITION!!!

I like that she’s taking credit for getting Biden elected.

The overturning of Roe was due to three (3) Trump Supreme Court appointments radically shifting the Court to the right. How is this Biden’s fault?

R13 the article says the activists are angry that the administration seems lethargic and is lacking urgency.

What exactly do they expect the administration to do?

[quote]Between Debra Messing or Kamala Harris, who would you pick?

In that instance, maybe it finally is time Hillary should come back.

Presidents get flak from all sides, it doesn't mean they are taking the flak seriously. Also, does no one understand the three branches of government and how that works?

Let me tell you about Deb Messing...

Messing is in one of the three groups (Hollywood, Wall Street, and Silicon Valley) that currently control the Democratic Party, so it’s not unexpected that she be part of this. The donors control the political party, not the rank-and-file.

Is she any worse than Kid Rock, Ted Nugent, and Kanye West?

She's not worse but we're supposed to be better than "not worse than than Kid Rock, Ted Nugent, and Kanye West."

^ LOL

I don't care about Messing. But this administration is absolutely lethargic. This is a very unique time in American history; we are on the verge of losing our democracy. I am not saying that Biden can necessarily undo everything, but he needs to appear more decisive and as a fighter, and yes, with a sense of urgency. Unfortunately, he doesn't have either trait.

I agree they seem lethargic but I blame the Democrats in Congress and the Senate. Biden's signature plans got bogged down in disloyalty or whatabout. It created the impression they aren't doing anything. And even I'm getting tired at Joe's shouting routine at the mic. I mean it. I'm not kidding.

R10 An unnecessary lynching bill became law under Kamala Harris after her pal Jussie was the victim of a "homophobic racist attack". Never underestimate a politician's craving for star-fucking.

[quote] I like that she’s taking credit for getting Biden elected.

Deb Who?

R23 What can Biden do? If you end the filibuster, then turnabout is fair play and Republicans will do the same and undo any Dem legislation when they get the majority back. Same issue with expanding the Supreme Court - if Dems add Justices then, Repubs will do the same and add even more. It’s a perfect storm of blocking Obama’s nomination, RBG dying, and Trump getting 3 Justices appointed to the SC. The Court is lost for at least a generation. I don’t see anything that can change that.

Really?

I've known her to drop boyfriends because they have weird chest hair patterns or because they don't like watching E!

Tsk, tsk, tsk.

Some people are so entitled!

[quote]And Deb, honey, stay out of things you know nothing about. Stop acting like an ignorant child.

This is another situation for which I wish I could see who praised Messing, the person, to the skies because of her tweets against Trump, but when she does something they don’t like, say she shouldn’t get involved. The people who not just liked but fully embraced nutjobs as long as they criticized Trump, have no integrity.

No, the enemy of my enemy is not automatically my friend. I’ll never under any circumstances embrace someone as despicable and evil as Liz Cheney, for example.

R30 Yep. Just like most here on DL proclaiming Stormy Daniels a goddess who was going to take down Trump and licked the sweat and glitter from her stripper cunt every time she shat out a press release. Same with her criminal lawyer currently sitting in a prison cell.

R3 voted for a reality show host to be president

[quote] I’ll never under any circumstances embrace someone as despicable and evil as Liz Cheney,

Datalounge loves her.

I hate her, but we must also remember Trump met with Ted Nugent.

[quote] The people who not just liked but fully embraced nutjobs as long as they criticized Trump, have no integrity.

Which I think goes a long way in explaining why the Jan 6 hearings have made so little impression on the country. Six years of MSNBC and Congressional hysteria burns people out.

#TeamMullally

R30 Liz Cheney is indeed vile. There's a loud and vocal portion of democrats and media types who are pathetically eager to throw themselves at any right wing scumbag who disavowed Trump ( once it was convenient for them of course). Why don't they save that cheerleading and support for people who were ALWAYS left leaning instead of some creepy war mongerer who realized that Trump was too disorganized and controversial to further their personal goals. Too many fair weather liberals are whores eager to service the other side rather than stand by their own through thick and thin. The absolute worst was when I saw positive coverage of that demented John Bolton creature. All because he jumped off the trump ship at the last minute and made a few disparaging remarks about him.

Messing has always been an unabashed liberal. If she feels she can be of any help I have no issue with her involvement. I wish dems would give her the praise and support that they heap on right wing turds who say the right lines for MSNBC.

R37 Remember when the left hated Mitt Romney until he turned against Trump after Trump refused to give him a job in his administration? As Trump claimed, Romney "begged like a dog" for a job but he rejected him anyway.

The left immediately hailed Romney a hero and still do to this day. The same guy they were saying wanted to murder your grandmother in campaign ads.

John McCain got the revisionist history treatment when he spoke against Trump during his dying days. All the shit he'd said and done over decades was washed away simply because he "stuck it to Trump".

These people would worship Hitler if he'd lived long enough to criticize Trump.

Debra Messing is as much of a policy expert as much as Sean and Eric are straight!

Doesn’t Deb live in California? Then she really didn’t get Joe Biden elected. People in Pennsylvania and Georgia did.

The problem here is really the Senate. She should be going after Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema and Chuck Schumer, more so than Biden.

r40 = Nina Turner

Maybe Debra should run for Congress. I’m sure she’s smarter than Marj Green and Lauren Boebert, two people who are actual lawmakers.

[quote] Doesn’t Deb live in California? Then she really didn’t get Joe Biden elected. People in Pennsylvania and Georgia did.

No cunt. It was Nevada and Arizona that got Joe elected

[Quote]What can Biden do? If you end the filibuster, then turnabout is fair play and Republicans will do the same and undo any Dem legislation when they get the majority back.

Not someone defending the filibuster. Wow, governments pass policies once they're elected? And new governments pass new policies once they replace the previous one? Welcome to a functioning representative democracy as it's practiced in every other country.

[Quote]Same issue with expanding the Supreme Court - if Dems add Justices then, Repubs will do the same and add even more.

So, you're saying that Democrats will be better off until Republicans regain all three branches of government, and then no worse off than they are right now after that. I'm not sure you're arguing what you think you're arguing.

[Quote]t’s a perfect storm of blocking Obama’s nomination, RBG dying, and Trump getting 3 Justices appointed to the SC. The Court is lost for at least a generation. I don’t see anything that can change that.

Clarence Thomas is 74 and Samuel Alito is 72. Antonin Scalia died at 79. I can think of many things "that can change that" even before getting into discussions about court reform. How long do you believe a generation lasts?

Get rid of that fucking filibuster. If Republicans change everything back once they regain power, then people will have an incentive to vote to return power to their power. As it is now, everything stalls and dies in the Senate, and nothing ever gets accomplished…so people stop caring and don’t vote.

She’s delusional…but she is right about why bother voting if the person elected is going to be so passive?

Biden has already changed his course. He’s no longer speaking to Megan Mullally.

Who cares about what the Republicans will do? You can count on them to do the worst. So Dems should do their best now. McConnell is counting on them not to have the balls. He is truly ruthless. Legislate while and how you can, bitches.

The previous Administration consulted with Kim Kardashian and the MyPillow guy, so I’m good with Deb Messing.

Coke Mom Debra Messing?

This is not great. The moves that have been made so far are not great.

Ron Klain needs to resign.

I still think abortion begins and ends with the Judiciary. Even if you passed a federal law making abortion legal, the Supreme Court ruled in Dobbs that it’s up to the states to decide. I have no doubt this Court would overturn such a law. There isn’t the political will or consensus to get a Constitutional amendment passed. The civil rights we once thought the Court guaranteed are being eroded. This Court has shockingly shown that it will not follow precedent. What Clarence Thomas has signaled in his opinion on revisiting sodomy, gay marriage, and birth control scares me.

Good thing your feelings aren't precedent.

R54 Why? This Court doesn’t follow precedent.

And that's why they're CNN, and she is Debra Messing, and there they are. 🙄

It pains me to say Frank Luntz is right, although he's a master at language, but he raises... a point.

[quote]The overturning of Roe was due to three (3) Trump Supreme Court appointments radically shifting the Court to the right. How is this Biden’s fault?

It wasn't Biden's fault but it sure was the fault of the useless democrats who didn't have a supreme court strategy, couldn't be bothered to sue McConnell when they weren't given their supreme court pick, and being too lazy to ratify roe. And now being too lazy to ratify the right to birth control

You know, stuff like that

[quote]Ron Klain needs to resign.

Biden has completely surrounded himself with turkeys.

The FDA, CDC, DOJ, SEC, VP, etc, etc - all useless

Righteous rage!

Detente

That was actually quite mature of Susan to write that.

I was expecting her reaction to be all “I done told y’all Debra was a vindictive bitch”

But that was Megan’s Twitter

She can't be worse than that astrologer loon whom Nancita consulted...

Many of these people complaining that Biden hasn't done anything seem to be forgetting the following:

- Passed a 1.2 trillion infrastructure package, fixing our bridges and roads, airports, public transportation, inational broadband internet access and such? Securing new jobs and easing our supply chain as well.

- Unlike tRump and his MAGAT/QAnon loony toon denialists, actually acknowledged COVID and responded passing a 1.9 trillion dollar COVID relief bill. Remember all those lovely checks you received to help you out while you were unemployed? Remember the free COVID test kits, free COVID vaccines?...

- Appointed 41 new federal judges, the most since Regan.

- Lowered unemployment from 6.3% down to 3.9%

- Responded to soaring gas prices and price gouging from the oil companies and has been consistently lowering the cost per gallon for the past several weeks in a row now.

Those are just to name a few.

Also as others have mentioned, the Roe v. Wade was a decision by the Supreme Court. tRump appointed 3 of those judges which gave them the ability to do so, not Biden. When they start going towards reversing gay rights and illegalizing the rest of us yet again, are you going to blame it on the fact Biden was elected as well?

Just as many people died, funding for covid is nowhere, and they are just trying to run out the clock pretending if they don't acknowledge that over 300 people are dying from it every day and 100k are being diagnosed (about a quarter of which will get long covid), then they can say it's over.

I will believe infrastructure when I see it.

Everything was bogged down by those fake Dems they keep wilfully electing.

Continuing r64's line of thinking

Many of these people complaining that Biden hasn't done anything seem to be forgetting the following:

Has pushed the US and Russia closer to nuclear war than any time since 1962

Has been directly called out by the White House Press Corps for undermining the First Amendment

With five weeks explicit warning was unable to piece together a coherent strategy on Roe past some general platitudes

Has doubled the price of gasoline for millions of working people

Has doubled the prices of basic foods for families

Has so far cumulatively spent over six months on vacation days (188 days as of early June) , a rate higher than either Trump or Obama

While inheriting THREE developed Covid vaccines on his Inauguration Day has presided over 800,000 deaths (and hundreds more each day )

That's a lot to have accomplished in just 20 months.

[quote] Debra Messing says she got Biden elected

She's that powerful?

Crazy tankie at r66 confuses Biden flying home to his family in Delaware with vacation time.

Continuously surprised by the people who post here. Really, we get all sorts, don't we.

If you ask me, we get too much of the same sort: stupid, raging and proud of it.
