I was sitting down to write this Open Thread and I just couldn't. The news is too depressing. Biden seems to be folding his hand on the Infrastructure Bill. Carper is being Carper, giving Republicans cover for their ongoing malfeasance. Republican nuts are being Republican nuts. And we are quickly approaching the moment when Republicans nuts are pushing us to the point when political sectarian violence is going to be inevitable. It is all too much. So I had an Aperol Spritz and clicked over to the Arden Concert Gild.

Coons Agrees with GOP That 1/6 Commission Should Investigate ANTIFA?

1 Comment
WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Chris Coons (D-Del.) stated that "in the interest of balance" he would pursue a bipartisan commission to investigate the 1/6 attack on the Capitol and investigate the ANTIFA riots which gripped Washington last Summer. "I agree with the Minority Leader. We have an opportunity to join with our good friends in the Republican Party and address the looting instigated by ANTIFA and other radical leftists."
Coons didn't actually say any of that. He does favor a bipartisan commission though, and Spokesperson for the Super Secret Bipartisan Caucus, Susan Collins, said the commission must investigate all domestic terrorism - so it isn't exactly outlandish to think that this sort of statement is possible.
