I’m using this tweet from Dan McLaughlin (with his permission) because, really, what else is there to say?

However: http://t.co/rn8CYjI2Iy RT @CNBC: BREAKING: Pres. Obama calls Rep. Boehner, says he won’t negotiate on debt limit.

…Except that, based on some of the responses to Dan’s tweet, at least some members of the Left are perfectly comfortable with admitting that they prefer truckling to the latest Jew-hating marionette dancing on the Iranian regime’s bloody string than they are in negotiating with fellow Americans on a specific point of domestic policy. That the Iranian regime is fundamentally wrong on the relevant point of foreign policy, while the Republican party is fundamentally right on its relevant point of domestic policy, is merely a point that reflects badly on the Left as a whole; I will be offering up a prayer tonight that the President himself is not yet afflicted with this particular sickness of the soul.

Either way: January 2017 cannot come fast enough. Both home and abroad.
