Just Under The Skin

In the heat of the moment, Joe Manchin revealed his true self. It’s not Biden’s “Build Back Better” that he objects to. His problem is simple. He wants to revert back to congressional earmarks, and extract some pork for his State’s coal mining industry. Build Back Better is a dagger in the heart to fossil fuel bitter clingers on many levels, which explains why Manchin’s nostrils flaired when he clapped back at Senator Bernie Sanders and called him a socialist (pinko).

I’m going to take a leap of faith, and guess that Kyrsten Sinema, is concerned that her constituency may want to repeal that silly MLK Holiday.

Newsom’s Folly

A mandate?
My grandmother was 1/2 native American. My wife’s mother is Indian. My daughters have blindly chosen black dolls, white dolls, male or female dolls, teddy bears, toy monkeys, toy helicopters and trucks.
All with no mandate. What does a gender neutral toy look like? Is there a button where the toxic male penis would be?

A toy is an impulse purchase. A kid wants what a kid wants because it’s “cute”, not because it was in a designated gender space on the rack.. This is simple pandering in the worst kind of way. Newsom thinks that he can peel off a few more votes, if the non binaries hear that he carved out a niche for them at the toy store. It makes Newsom (and the entire state) look petty and silly, and unless he’s running against Trump or Elder next time, I probably will not vote for him again.

The power of one

Dear Candidates:
There is no reason that you guys cannot create a leadership caucus NOW.
Decide among yourselves who should be the nominee and announce which cabinet level position each of you will be willing to serve under your chosen leader.
You’re spending your constituencies donations on your petty little ad buys and debate scrimmages, knowing that all donations but one group will be flushed down an empty hole. While the Resident is following your debates around, getting free ads from network media everytime he tweets another dumb idea that he dreams up. If you stop the primaries now and begin the National Election – he will be caught off guard while impeachment related questions continue to be answered and you prosecute the election in chief.

 

DACA

It’s simple.
DACA is a defacto TREATY. These people came out of the shadows and turned themselves in with an understanding that the U.S.A. would not break its promise.
Why should anybody trust us ever again. The world is watching and our word ain’t shit.
But this is no suprise. This is how he runs his business. He welches on deals, files bankruptcy, and filibusters court cases with delays.
The indigenous people called it “speak with forked tongue.”
I call it lying.
