There is plenty of blame to go around, but this will absolutely be Mitch McConnell’s legacy.

"Dems WILL nuke the filibuster"

Statement brought to you by the party that recently used recissions to renege on what 60+ senator members had just agreed to.

He instantly screwed over his loyal messengers who were towing the “60 votes“ line.

Also, if they use the “nuclear” option, they will totally own the impact of cutting healthcare for millions going into an election year. I’m still hoping for a different outcome, but if they do it they own it.

Who could have predicted that he wouldn’t end the war on his first day in office.

About 15 years ago, conversation with my primary care physician:

Dr: No flu shot yet?

Me: I'm inconsistent. What doesn't kill me makes me stronger.

Dr: Not how this works. Every single time you get it it does some damage. Why do that?

Me: I haven't missed a flu (or covid) shot since then.

Biden: "I made the decisions about the pardons, executive orders, legislation and proclamations.
Any suggestion that I didn't is ridiculous and false,"

I’m not 100% that I can make it this year, but I have done this event for the past several years. I did the “no trailers” category a couple of times, and for the last 2 years I have towed a makeshift garden wagon trailer.

Bessent: Don't cherry pick specific items.
Welker: It's also the CPI, it's a broad index?

I keep seeing adds (propoganda) paid for by Israel that are trying to garner sympathy and support for Israel. That doesn't seem to bother the administration. But free trade is a bridge too far.

Sharice would be a great US Senator. Of course the risk is that she runs, loses, and her vacated US Rep seat also swings red. I'm in her district, and a big supporter, but even with the current boundaries it's really a purple district.

"Venezuela Tensions"? I guess there are now.

GaryfinKC @garyfinkc.bsky.social · 9d

Fair enough. I wasn't meaning to present business dominated control itself as anarchy. Rather a step in a progression of control from Government>Business>General rebellion and chaos. I don't believe that conservatives want the anarchy, I'm suggesting that it's an outcome of that progression.

A lack of government, with large businesses and the wealthy exerting an outsized control. Which eventually would devolve into the chaos variety of anarchy.

For most of my life, I thought conservatism taken to it's extreme would lead to anarchy. Turns out that they like weaponized big government instead.

EPA: Got a loony conspiracy theory? Chemtrails? Flat Earth? We are here to believe you, and no taxpayer dollars will be spared on this.

EPA Commissioner Lee Zeldin announces his agency is launching a major investigation into the right-wing conspiracies about chemtrails and weather manipulation to get to the bottom of it.
