REPOSTED FROM 2011

A BIG ONE

Having just come from the Royal Shakespeare Company’s Winter’s Tale, I can only say that the folly as well as the venality of what our President is apparently doing can only be called Shakesperean.  To all intents and purposes he is not simply capitulating to, he is actively colluding with the Republicans in their long-held determination to dismantle Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.  And Obama is thus also colluding in his own political demise, as well as doing untold damage to the country and the Democratic Party.  It’s one for the ages.

DeSANTIS SASHAYS AROUND IN HIGH HEELS

Thank you, Ron Filipowski, for highlighting on your twitter account DeSantis in his Village People boots with the elevator rise. The turned-up toes, I might add , are intended, like the poulaines of the Middle Ages, to make us think he has a big cock, despite the evidence of his tiny hands.

PROGRESSIVE DEMOCRATS HAVE TO BE WILLING TO VOTE “NO”

It’s time to hear them stand up and warn Biden, before he tries to throw his presidency away, that they are the firewall.

Senators  Fetterman and Warren seem to have gotten there. Publicly, they are refraining from jumping the gun before an agreement is presented; privately, they need to be unconditional.

Biden is now shutting out Democrats from his negotiations with McCarthy–he is now apparently willing to negotiate with terrorists–the way Obama did in 2011, and we all know how that turned out.  He has to be saved from himself.

FLORIDA RESISTS DeSANTIS FASCISM

He is so out of control now that even Florida has had enough.

And its agricultural economy hasn’t even collapsed yet.

But wait–his latest hate-on-immigrants bill will ensure that.

WHY DON’T WE IMPOSE WORK REQUIREMENTS ON THE HOUSE REPUBLICANS?

They do far less honest work and contribute far less to the American economy than the recipients of Medicaid, SNAP, and Social Security on whom they want to inflict hideously abusive penalties and hurdles.

JAKE TAPPER FALLS INTO LINE BEHIND LICHT

Apparently terrified that his lucrative CNN contract might be cancelled after he told the truth about Licht’s Trump rally, Tapper parroted Fox News to pretend that John Durham’s report exonerated Trump.

As the Daily Beast notes, Tapper did not go into detail about the alleged exoneration.

CHRIS LICHT CALLED OLIVER DARCY ON THE CARPET BECAUSE HE TOLD THE TRUTH

This tells us again what a self-serving con artist Chris Licht is.

He staged a Trump fascist rally and called it news.

CNN’s Oliver Darcy described how appalled CNN staffers were.

Licht wasn’t having it.

CNN is over.

PROGRESSIVES HAVE TO TELL BIDEN THEY WILL NOT VOTE FOR A DEBT CEILING BILLL THAT INCUDES GOP CUTS

There are several ways that the President can avert a default crisis without capitulating to the GOP’s anti-America cuts. If Biden chooses instead to capitulate, the Democratic caucus has to explain that they will not condone a reprise of Obama surrendurism. Biden must not enable the GOP taking American hostage.

OUR “LEADERSHIP” CLASS HAS BEEN TAKEN OVER BY PSYCHOTICS

Dr. Bandy Lee writes at Medium:

“At the onset of my quarter-century career, I encountered sociopaths and psychopaths mostly in jails and prisons, my main settings for clinical work. Very disturbingly, over time, I found them increasingly in leadership positions, as chief executive officers, legal professionals, or political leaders — and less in correctional settings. This means that society is not doing a good job at containing them, and they are escaping detection more and more. Just about all of them crave power, so that they can exploit the trust and privileges accorded them to bolster their fantasies of unlimited domination and their drive to harm others.”
