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,…

Look at this FEMA flood zone map for Ft Dupont.   It would be funny if it were not so transparently corrupt and sickening. Also check out the Delaware Call's reporting on the Fort DuPont robbery. No due diligence.  No oversight.  No workable business plan.  No shame.  Just a bunch of well connected people converting public assets into money and shoving that money into their pockets at a furious clip. One can only conclude that Longhurst and Poore simply don't give a fuck about looking corrupt as hell. Here is Cato the Elder on the topic, once more for good measure. “Thieves of private property pass their lives in chains; thieves of public property in riches and luxury.”

Heads-up. That headline may be deceptive. I have't listened yet so I don't know if Kowalko and REV get into actual fisticuffs.

In words and images, Volodymyr Zelenskyy made an impassioned case for US intervention in Ukraine by means of a "No Fly" zone.   The images of a happy successful Ukraine prior to Putin's invasion, contrasted with the same views during the invasion with broken and bombed buildings and people were powerful.    The only captions....  "this is a murder" and at the end..."close the sky over Ukraine"   

People hate the clock switching nonsense. Now it is gone (in about a year). Huzzah! But did you know we tried this 48 years ago and it didn't go well?…
