Dick Durbin is making an ass of himself
American Thinker ^ | July 9, 2018 | Monica Showalter

Can Dick Durbin stifle himself for a bit? The vaunted senator from Illinois is saying one absurd thing after another, putting the jackass back big into the Democratic Party label.

Seriously, get a load of this first one from the senior senator from Illinois :

A top Democrat in the Senate said his vulnerable colleagues from red states "understand" that fighting to stop President Trump's Supreme Court pick is more important than getting re-elected in 2018.

Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin, D-Ill., was pressed on this "dilemma" that Democrats face as the 2018 midterms approach during an interview on NBC's "Meet the Press."

~snip~

That isn't all he's been saying. As the world watches with bated breath the dangerous watery cave rescue going on in Thailand, marveling at the courage and technological virtuosity of the world's elite divers as they conduct the terrifying operation, and looks on in awe and wonder at the world coming together to pray, pool technological expertise, and offer moral support, well, Durbin decides that domestic immigration policy disputes are a good thing to bring up to compare to this spectacle – with himself as the hero this time, not the Thai SEALs.

According to Fox News :

Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., on Sunday compared the more than 2,300 migrant children separated from their parents after crossing illegally into the United States to the boys' soccer team currently trapped in a cave in northern Thailand.

Not the first times Turban Durbin has made himself look the fool and surely won't be the last.

Actually, Durbin made an ass of himself decades ago.

He’s now on to bigger and better things.

Hey, Dick, NOTHING is more important to democrat politicians than getting re-elected. NOTHING. Most of them will murder their mothers to get re-elected, including you. It's all about power and money.

I don’t have a problem with this. If they go head to head against Trump on his pick and go all out to defeat it and alienate the electorate in those states with Democrat senators that went in the election for Trump...then, if they lose their seats, we can shove the most conservative candidate we can down their throats and they won’t be able to do anything about it even if they do get Collins and Murkowski to switch.

I’m sorry. I actually thought his last name was Turdbrain...which would explain a lot.

“A top Democrat in the Senate.......”

THAT alone says much about the Democrat’s party.

Dick and ass in the same title?

This story must be gay.

Nevertheless, Dick Durbin making an ass of himself goes with him being a member of the democrASS party.

Weak men cannot handle the stress of coming catastrophe and fall apart in sheer panic. Durbin has lost the ability for rational thought

The Dems don’t have a deep bench. It’s a collection of dunce chairs.
