Sending good vibes and hoping you’ll feel them.

Oh FFS

“Biden won the Democratic nomination last year by offering more centrist alternatives to much of Sanders’ agenda“.

Bullshit

“…moderate Democrats worried that the party’s leftward shift could cost them control of Congress during next year’s midterm elections.”

Major bullshit, and a self-serving canard from the corporatists.

The “bullying-their-way-in” manner of driving, spurred by their sheer sense of self-righteous indignation. You’ll also see this as they exit their subdivisions to enter a thoroughfare. Even though they have a stop sign, they’ll dart right up to the intersection to the degree you know they have no intention of even yielding, let alone make a full…[Read more]

The hair length and coloring, the “mean girl” sunglasses;

My exact reaction as well.

These drooling imbeciles would think Dwight Eisenhower is/was a socialist. Nimrod.

Something doesn’t sound right, because it isn’t right. It’s clear they’re not applying the clinical metrics of economics as such, but using economic theory as a cover for imparting conservative dogma to suit their aims as it applies to wages. We all know well their views and desires: cheap labor and shitting on the poor.

They’re pulling the same…[Read more]

Interesting that we never hear conservatives panic about inflation even as the rich continue to fatten their wallets and solidify their gains. I’ve heard point raised and the corporate media toady’s response was that they don’t spend their growing wealth but save ( read: hoard ) it. Well if that is so, then that pretty much disembowels the…[Read more]

Tilting at windmills. V2.0.

I never feel at ease around one of those things.

“maybe he sucks to provide his party with an excuse for doing nothing”

It worked fabulously well for Barack Obama:

• Early in when the dems had majorities, he torpedoed the agenda he ran on by catering to the republicans with “reaching across the aisle” bi-partisan bullshit.
• After the 2010 GOP blow-out in the senate and house he could claim he…

This:

“but their lemming followers who refuse to admit that they were/are wrong about these grifters, and what they really are or became, no matter how much evidence is presented. And then they spend all their energy fighting those who tell the truth instead of those who hide it.”

That would apply to not only to BO, but to both Clinton terms and…[Read more]

First off; forget the republicans/conservatives/teabaggers bitching about how that he was Noam Chomsky, Bernie Sanders and Karl Marx put together. We all knew these people were fucked up long before the orange shit gibbon gave them a place to hang their red caps on.

I’m talking about those who, when seeing his capitulation in deference RW…[Read more]

It’s not just this mook, it seems to be a new strategy on the part of firebrand republican public figures in general. Smarting from the the shit gibbon losing the election and the death of Rush Limpballs, their governing strategy has been reduced to being snotty, sneering trolls.

You nailed it succinctly those two talking points being a strawman argument.

It sure did seem like the writer of that piece seems to blame corporations very obliquely, as if it were a sound business decision rather than rapacious corporate greed. The use of the automation talking point was another way for the writer to whitewash the issue: That…[Read more]

Nothing more than a “Hey! Look over there!” distraction to prevent us hoi-polloi from connecting the dots, focusing and then and barking up the tree at the burgeoning neoliberal corporate fascism.

It’s infuriating over the years of reading/hearing them gaslight their way out of culpability and tell us they’re not pissing on us, and that’s just rain. The steady drumbeat of talking points of how offshoring was just their reaction to some unstoppable force of nature that they had no choice in, and not the deliberate choice made to just further…[Read more]

I read about his fretting here: Larry Summers Doubles Down On His Inflation Prediction | Angry Bear (angrybearblog.com)

From the piece:

“Oh, he also invokes “Higher minimum wages, strengthening unions, increased employee benefits and strengthened regulations” as further exacerbating this inflationary surge, even though he says these “are all d…[Read more]

Am I reading into this, or does she sound scripted? The talking points, the delivery, the finger. Lots of evangelical preachers do that too; “rhythm & repetition” is what they call it. I think that’s why it works so well put to music.

I’ll bet she didn’t really want to go into that store for a purchase, as to be able to make a statement. Like a…[Read more]

That made my day, thanks.

Going to watch soon as the yardwork is done. 🙂
