Fuck you, Coons
Sure there are many villains in non-transition situation, but don’t forget the role of Democrats like Coons who are always bowing and scraping to Republicans. Always fucking lying about members of the GOP, making excuses for them and being dishonest about the GOP’s willingness to cooperate. Fuck you, Dude.
The problem with America in general and Coons in particular is lack of awareness of how amazing life can be. It is what makes Coons so willing to settle for mediocrity and bullshit.
I was in Italy once and came upon a woman street performer doing a little puppet show. On a little puppet sized proscenium stage was a little old man puppet doing fucking magic tricks. FUCKING magic. But not only that, the puppet was also a little silent comedian. Prying full blown laughs out of an audience of about 50 people who just happened to be strolling across a plaza that day.
That is a country that hasn’t lost their sense of how amazing life can be. They aren’t gray drab lumps of skin like Coons who have given up on the possibility of even the most meager sense of the possible.
Fuck you, Coons
What’s the point of all Coons’ Republican-fluffing? If he’s nominated for State, he’s hoping that his supposed pals in the Senate won’t oppose him the way they would any other Democrat.
I think he’s wrong about that, but maybe we’ll see.
I like this headline. Kind of sums up all your posts on Coons. Seriously, I really do like it. Sometimes you’ve just got to let ‘er rip.
Looks like Coons is NOT Biden’s choice for State.
I have a feeling a lot of Biden’s picks will be like Antony Blinken at State — people who have no profile in the Right Wingnutosphere.
Picking, for example, Susan Rice would have triggered spasmodic mouth-frothing at Fux News, whereas — keep score and see — they won’t even be able to spell Mr. Blinken’s first name correctly.
Despite Jason’s desire for a brawl, Biden’s strategy appears to be rope-a-dope — let the slackjaws fulminate without reaction. You can’t lose if you refuse to play their game.
Here are the people whose nominations he announced today:
Lawyer Alejandro Mayorkas as homeland security secretary;
Linda Thomas-Greenfield as ambassador to the United Nations;
Avril Haines, a former deputy director of the CIA, as director of national intelligence.
Those all require Senate confirmation. None of them has any profile in the general-interest media.
He also named Jake Sullivan as national security adviser and Kerry as climate change envoy. Neither requires Senate confirmation.

No pick is safe from rightwing spasmodic mouth-frothing. They are all fight, all the time.
And for the record, I am not about the fight for fight’s sake. I simply see that lying on the ground and allowing ourselves to be kicked until their feet hurt isn’t a strategy for success.
Won’t stick. They’ll try, yes, but it won’t work.
Propaganda requires repetition. That’s why they’re still chanting about locking up Hillary.
All the techniques Republicans and their enablers use are tried and true. They don’t work better because Republicans are, to a person, sufferers of the Dunning Kruger effect — they’re all incompetent to one degree or another and, while they might recognize it in each other, they never recognize it in themselves.
This won’t stop the Senate from opposing him. It’s just that it’s going to be much harder to turn Jake Sullivan into Thanos than it was to do it with Hillary, or even John Kerry. For Christ’s sake, they couldn’t even make anything stick with Biden — how the fuck are they going to make hay out of Jake Sullivan?
BTW, read too much of that toxic shit and your brain will melt. Use sparingly.
And remember, he doesn’t need Senate confirmation. Let’s see how much ink they’re devoting to Jake Sullivan two months from now.
