Month: March 2022

If we elites could only get together behind closed doors and hash things out as God and nature intended - then we wouldn't have these lower class QAnon rabble and leftist BLM whackos trying to throw the economy in the toilet. Elites, like us, ultimately all want the same things. Stable markets, less onerous regulation, occasional insider trading info, and lower taxes for the wealthy.  Sure we'll argue about abortion or whatever - but that is a little show for the rubes.

Coonsian bipartisanship and the fetishization of "cooperation"  isn't so much about people with different views on the issues getting together.   It is much more classist than that.  It is about class affiliation and agreement among elites on some big worldview items, and not about political parties "finding middle ground." Or it was that, anyway.    It is a very strange view for Coons to continue to hold these days when the elite consensus with regard to trading off control of the White House and Congress every once in a while has completely broken down. I mean, Ginnie Thomas is going to make the next cocktail party at Bezos Manner very awkward with her nonsense.  Very awkward, indeed.  

I never thought she stood much of a chance. First of all, she made the mistake of having been nominated by a Democratic President. That's damming info, right there. But there is also Murkowski and Collins looking wobbly as they don't want to be seen going to bat for a child molester. With those two gone, President Joe Manchin makes the call and you know, it is just so political and partisan to be nominating justices in this environment. Also, Biden never consulted with the GOP on this nomination. So there is that.

When she was nominated, quite a few people speculated that a lot of Republican senators would vote for Ketanji Brown Jackson’s nomination, given that “no” votes would almost certainly be futile. The members of the GOP’s rapidly shrinking club of senatorial bipartisan fetishists could therefore indulge their particular kink at no practical cost, with the extra added benefit for them of proving how totally not racist or sexist they were by voting for a black woman. It’s not working out that way.

Also Maine, and Eastern Montana... what the fuck?

This statement released by Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL) on the occasion of Trump pulling his endorsement of Brooks should be bombshell news that pushes all other news into irrelevance.  It will not,…
