Alex Jones is a good example of why Congress should reexamine the Fairness Doctrine (killed during the Reagan administration) and work at modifying it for our 21st Century communication systems.
Sinema's hedge fund donors called in their favors. If Dems can win a few more Senate seats, then maybe, MAYBE, carried interest loophole gets corked in a future reconciliation bill. Maybe. On the plus side, finally some serious investment to tackle climate change. Three steps forward (climate funding), one step back (fossil fuel funding), but I'll take it.
Kansas provided the model. Time for all interested parties in the red states to follow the Kansas lead in having the voters amend the state constitutions.
I need to see "Perp walks!" I am being completely serious. There should be a long, long, long line. Even from people, that "we the people" have not even heard of yet. This was/is an almost realized, take-over of our country! And they have managed to still have people working towards that end-those running for office, those monetarily and vocally supporting them all, and anyone who had knowledge of this evil and did not go to the right people to give solid information. I do not believe we should entertain the idea of former VP Pence, even though Trump turned on him, as a candidate for future office. We could also not withstand, at this point, to have election deniers, climate change deniers, those tangled up with questions big money donors. Pence has, at least, some political acumen and had to be aware of some serious, nefarious goings-on. I do not believe he can call the "I never knew" defense because he was in the room, for four LONG years. We also, as a nation abide somehow by the likes of thugs, such as DeSantis! Nikki Haley let South Carolina down in SO many ways-all documented. This is not the Republican Party my parent's believed in. Let in someone in that is Trump-like, power-mad, money-hungry, dictatorial, my way or the highway goons. Yes, goons. I do not say that lightly. There needs to be a cleansing and a reckoning for every single person who is complicit. A great fear is that this way of "being" that was taught so well by Trump has made others realize they can do it also and have the backing of people who think they know better, but absolutely do NOT. We must find a way of counteracting the most base of humanity. They are totally ill-informed, do not even begin to know what our Government really does and does not do, who can do what and who cannot- nothing! They just "feel" that way. Or have bought into the anger and having felt cheated in their own lives, grabbed onto hatred. They are not aware of the truth-they are not aware of the actual issues. And, pardon me, but a lot of people are actually stupid when it comes to real issues, problems and are simply trying to find a "home" where other people who also feel "less than" or cheated out of the life they feel they deserve, gather together and then find themselves with other groups who have the same, dumb and terrifying agendas. And there are also plenty of smart people who think in those ways, too. I believe it is from an attitude of "I can do it-why can't you?" And many with quite some rancor and fervency. Even though many have , shall I say, "comfortable' lifestyles and may be caring people to their families, some pals and some animals, they still have an emotional problem when it comes down to it. And also, so many are simply watching the "wrong" television channel and being with and hanging out with acquaintances, friends, and family who actually believe these stealthy lies. That is sad, because there are many good people who I know myself and care about that watch and believe only these lies, deceit, and so-called "proof." It is hard to be good friends with "Trump-people." The main perp-walk is the one of the orange Cheeto-as someone I love very much- referred to him. I recall seeing that liar and control freak, Jim Baker, perp-walked, still crying, and in handcuffs-they had found him hiding away underneath his sofa! Somehow, although his wife died, he did what bit he had to do and now the children are moving in their parent's stead! Not Good! Think of Trump's children doing that! SAVE our country and deliver our beautiful Earth.
I hope the voter response in Kansas will embolden a similar response for the November elections! I hope the middle section of voters will enjoy asserting their voices! Let's get out there and vote BLUE 🗳 💪
America is like a dysfunctional family with a teenager going through a surly goth phase. We're all holding our noses and hoping they grow out of it. I'm pleased to see that Kansas is speaking out with entirely reasonable ideas. If the Robert Taft Ohio Republicans can shove out the punks, maybe we'll be alright. And trust that many people aren't thrilled by going back to the good old days. Heartland women, African-Americans, Hispano-Americans. They don't want a reverse gear on progress.
Even if a few of these folks ARE the "have-yachts."
The two Rodgers and Hammerstein lines (two different shows, two different songs, two different lines) are:
“The corn is as high as an elephant’s eye” (from “Oklahoma!”)
“I’m as corny as Kansas in August” (from “South Pacific”)
Terrific music and lyrics by both gentlemen. Doubt there are any elephants in Kansas, where I think the musical “Oklahoma!” begins. Nobody minds.
Let’s get a mansion for Manchin (he probably already has one) and a cinema for Sinema, and hope that both are primaried ASAP.
I still dislike the fossil fuel boosters in the bill. Somebody’ll have to row out to the nearly submerged Kentuckians to explain why they still have to put up with climate change.
And WHAT did the Parliamentarian just do?—Eliminate the medical bill reductions for 180 million people?
There are some people I’d like to send out to some remote isle.
Generally, though, I appreciate the good-humored and well-informed way you both present things.
Alex Jones just showed all Americans the TRUE _rumplican party after his court date: meek, submissive and cowardly. They are NOT "alpha males" despite his incessant growling and foaming. Calling them BETAS is an insult to betas everywhere though. What's below that?
Is it true that the wonderful provisions relating to drug prices in the Inflation Reduction Act will not take effect until 2025 or 2026, and one of the drugs excluded from lowered prices is insulin?
Still waiting for Garland to prosecute America's Hitler.

Thanks, I needed that. My negativity bias has been working overtime.
It was a great week indeed! Let's hope this is just the beginning. Wonderfully uplifting klatch too!

Sorry for not striking up the band yet.
