I'm breaking out my Dark Brandon shades again.

What was that thing about old, dementia, stumbling, etc. Biden just slips in there again and wins. The things the Rs think they got, well, there are switches built in that Joe can just flip and change it. And so the IRS gets $80 billion out of the $100 billion it was getting, that means they can still dust up and in two years get their other $20 billion.

“Get in loser, we’re going negotiating.”

McC: holds the interminable blank look, then says, Okay.” But he of course forgets to strap in. A few miles down the road, Loser asks “W-where’re we going, J-J-Joe?” Dark Brandon pats him on the knee and says in his fatherly voice, “Buckle up, son, while I tell you a story ...” as he shifts into plaid. The End

So grateful Joe's in charge. We have to keep him there through 2024, too!

Someday, and that day will be here soon, Joe Biden is going to be favorably compared to FDR and Abraham Lincoln. Now I want a bumper sticker: “FJB? N, FY.”

Holy Fuck Jeff! You are so right, but the media is all, oh no, will this deal ever pass the house? They don't give Biden any credit for eating Kev's lunch, but he sure did. It's like watching a Vegas card shark playing with a 12 year old.

Backed into a corner, the hillbilly fuckface was, since the only grown-up option remains to revoke unconscionable tax cuts and restore at least half of the reasonable tax rates on the wealthy (and on passive income) of the postwar consensus that once helped make this country a place where good shit can happen.

Somehow, fiscal policy became entangled with the culture nonsense.

McCarthy is so unequipped to lead Congress that his flop sweat makes him an obvious target for ridicule. But no one, no one, could handle these congressional Republicans. They are either insane -- or skillful at portraying themselves as insane -- or corrupt -- or too dumb to realize it -- and committed to burning it down. The GOP base is shrinking, but they are still happiest being part of the Rat King.

I am wondering if the 14th amendment was Biden’s ace up his sleeve and McCarthy knew it.

I had a bet when Kev finally won his 15x house speaker vote, that he wouldn’t make it through year one. I am thinking of doubling it, but my maga wagee is in a apoplectic Tasmanian Devil spin at the moment. It’s been a long moment, actually. He may need to be darted. Unless you know anyone looking for post hole or grave diggers?

BIDEN IS WAY SMARTER THAN DUMBASS McCARTHY.

McCarthy looks like an animated mannequin. But I think an unanimated one would make a better Speaker.

I would have loved to have been Pence's fly on the wall for a couple of those meetings.

Tee-he-he.

Yes, yes, yes. This is what I have been thinking. Never underestimate Dark Brandon. He has been thru too much in his ling life to get this wrong. I have been around a lot of dementia and I can tell you there is none in Joe. He just needs our support.
