Dick Durbin is making an ass of himself

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."

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.

The vaunted senator?

WHO praises Turbin?

I've always viewed him as an a$$hole.

Late to reply but I couldn't agree more, a perfect description.

The more foolish and irrelevant he looks, the more popular he is in IL!

People must long for the Democratic days of Andrew Jackson: representing the “common man” and defying a Supreme Court order. But they are taking Jackson’s picture off the $20 bill.
