Viva Tio Bernie!

Bernie is happy about the fact that the Democratic Party has adopted his policies. (FTR - Economists are also happy)
Q: Let’s say I’m someone on the left who supported you in 2020. I’m looking at the American Rescue Plan and I see the $15 minimum wage got dropped, paid family leave got dropped. The child tax credit, which is my favorite part of the bill, it’s only temporary. Convince me that I should be excited about this. Why do you think it’s so significant? Bernie: I don’t have to convince you. We have already convinced 75 percent of the American people that this is a very good piece of legislation. And I think progressives...

Funny Republican Jokers

LANSING, Mich. — The leader of Michigan’s Republican Party referred to Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and two other top Democratic elected women as “witches” that the GOP wants to “soften up” for a “burning at the stake” in the 2022 election. He also joked about assassination when he was asked how to remove two GOP congressmen, Reps. Fred Upton and Peter Meijer, who voted to impeach former President Donald Trump. Ron Weiser’s statements Thursday during a local Republican meeting, which are on video, were first reported Friday by The Detroit News.
Haha... Oh someone tried to shoot them? Thoughts and prayers.

Coons’ Likud Party Lost

The final results of the fourth successive Israeli election are now in and the verdict is clear: Netanyahu lost. Or to put the matter more precisely, the results make it almost impossible for him to form a government. His bloc, which includes his Likud party and a group of far-right and religious parties, gained 52 seats.

Anybody else here a delegate to the state convention?

I have't finished this podcast (patreon.com/Elsmere's Top Minds), so I don't know if Jordyn Pusey was able to fight her way through the bumptious stupidity of her RD'S old guard losers. Also, just take a minute or two and really ponder the layers of odiousness captured by this book cover.  I mean ...holy SHIT!   It is like the peice of concentrated evil in the last scene of time bandits.   I feel like Kevin right now.  "Mom, Dad. It's evil.  Don't touch it."

Krista Griffith – Back Away From the Fox News

Adopting GOP talking points to defend her vote doesn't speak well of Griffith's critical thinking skills.
Rep. Griffith defended her vote at the 12th RD Meeting last night, saying ...she was worried about raising taxes on the rich and having them leave the state. She also thought the proposed rates in House Bill 64 were too high. Oh, those poor wealthy people. When will they get a break? Thanks, Krista, for buying into Republican talking points.
