Paging Kamala Harris: has anyone seen her commenting, speaking out, being interviewed, working Congress on any of the big bills?
I haven’t, and I follow most mainstream / liberal news outlets. I was disturbed by this CNN article about Harris’ absence. Then Psaki came to the Veep’s defense.
It’s also possible that Harris’ input is not being sought, or she is just being ignored.
That last bit may be a big part of it. She seems to have made a positive impression on the French.
She will be attacked at every opportunity. There is plenty of time to promote Kamala. Maybe staying under the radar is a positive.
They should send her out to make a bunch of dog whistle pronouncement about CRT and, I dunno, the food pyramid maybe, to trigger the wingnuts.
Give them something to rant about while the Dems do grown-up business.
Keep in mind John Nance Garner's comment.
Are you implying that warm piss hasn't gained value over the years?……
Yeah, well…probably not.🙂
November 15, 1806 – Pike Expedition: Lieutenant Zebulon Pike sees a distant mountain peak while near the Colorado foothills of the Rocky Mountains. (It is later named Pikes Peak.)
The Arapaho called it "Heey-otoyoo", or "Long Mountain". The Spanish called it "Montaña del Sol," which is nicely poetic, or "El Capitán." Any of those names would be more interesting than that of Zebulon Pike, who was captured by the Spanish during an illegal military incursion into Spanish territory. The same expedition during which he first saw the mountin.
Not that I am proposing we change it at this point, of course.
Of course we can’t change the name now. It’s been Unser Hill for a long time.
If ill habits gather unseen then so do virtuous ones. The trick is to reinforce the virtuous ones and weaken the ill ones.
I'll drink to that!
I'll wager that won't work…😆
Wagering is not an ill habit in Gilpin Duke. Why not? Good habits like calling mom on Mother's Day are self-sustaining. Ill habits like drinking a bottle of Vodka every night tend to be unsustainable. At some point your body can't continue to filter out all the toxins. Would you rather call mom more often or drink yourself to death. Seems like reinforcing the good ones is better than feeding the bad ones.
I was kidding, GG.
addendum ..
Obvious moral lessons haven’t escaped me in my 70 years as an air breather.
It’s like watching the season finale of Mean Girls…
McConnell Planned To Disinvite Trump From Biden’s Inauguration, McCarthy Squealed To Trump About Plan
I guess Kevvy got played as the perfect patsy here . . .
. . . Mitch never had to send the letter (as if that were ever his actual intention); Ttump didn’t attend, but still got to save face by “his” refusal, and all the members of the “He Man [Biden] Haters Club” survived to appear in the next episode of Our [Dipshits] Gang.
Is it time to go on the offensive yet?
Guess we'll need plan to take over the state houses first then.
Whoopsie.
The Colorado Supreme Court today approved the Independent Redistricting Commission's plans for redistricting the state legislature. I'll shed no tears over being drawn out of the Shawn Mitchell/Vicki Marble/Barbara Kirkmeyer senate district.
Though Kirkmeyer's running for Congress, which might be worse!
Genghis, there appears to be a problem with that link. It opens nothing for me, anyway.
Weird. It opens fine for me. It's a CO Supreme Court opinion in pdf. Do you have a pdf reader on the device you're using?
Anyhoo, here is a Colorado Sun article on the subject.
Thanks. The pdf automatically downloaded- I just had to look for it.
Not terribly unexpected, but an announcement today made it official:
What do you suppose it is about NE Republican governors refusing to run for the Senate?
Also behind the WaPo paywall at: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/11/15/newly-disclosed-memo-reveals-trumps-plot-turn-military-into-his-personal-goon-squad/
. . . Is anyone really surprised that the Cadette Bonespurs and the Trumpers wanted the US military as their own, personal goon squad??
Without resistance from people like General Milley and Esper it could have actually happened. That is some seriously scary shit. I don't know how anyone can claim to support Trump and democracy at the same time.
We can only shudder at what an enabled General Flynn might have done?!! . . .
. . . beyond seriously scary!
Bannon says today, they "picked on the wrong guy". "We are going on offense"…says he.
It looks like the insurrection may escalate soon.
