My favorite new phenomenon is this idea that we need to “move on.”  We can’t impeach Trump because we need to move on.

What the flower-scented hell are they talking about?  How long did we spend on Benghazi? How long did we investigate and prosecute a blow job where nobody died?

Move on? And then I heard one of those senators – I can’t remember which one because they all look like a long snake biting each other’s tails – say that we have major problems in this country and we need to get about fixing them.  In a week? You think we got all these problems in a week?  Why the Lysol-scented hell do you think we have problems if you and Mr. I Can Fix It made America great again? Sneeze, you damn fool, because your brain is dusty.

And now arises out of the tulip-scent hell the idea that we liberals were so mean to Precious Donnie.  We picked on him for 4 years and ruined his life. I do not believe in physical violence but I will stomp on your toes if you say that to me. Poor rich white guy with a ten foot bully stick. How many lives did that sludge muffin ruin, or kill?  Honey, his Twitter account alone will get him a ticket to hell and with the Covid deaths he’s close to getting to Pol Pot numbers.

How quickly a bully turns victim.

Sidney Powell, a lawyer so crazy that even Rudy Giuliani thinks she’s missing some sockets from her set, has decided to enter the exciting world of Super PACs.

Oh yeah, this is going to be fun.  Just what every conspiracy loudmouthed lawyer needs – the legal ability to raise unlimited amounts of money to push any political agenda she chooses.

And wanna know what makes this even more fun?  Her partner in the PAC is Mike Lindell, the My Pillow guy.  They decided to name their PAC www.RestoreTheRepublicPAC.Com. Go on, click it – nothing there.  I suspect they need to raise money to pay for a website.

But first they need to find somewhere to put the money when they get it.  The FEC asks that question on the application for a PAC.

Sidney says their bank is Arkansas-based Bank OZK (formerly known as Bank of the Ozarks).

That’s nice because it is a real bank and most of the time Sidney just makes stuff up.  But just when you think she’s finding a few sockets the bank speaks up.

“We have done a thorough inquiry and determined this entity has no account at Bank OZK, has no account pending, and has never had an account here. Per our established policy, the PAC is not eligible for an account with Bank OZK,” Susan Blair, executive vice president and spokeswoman for Bank OZK, said. “We have policies in place prohibiting accounts for certain entities. We don’t publicly disclose the specifics of those policies.”

Damn, Sidney, you ain’t got no account at that bank, Honey, and it doesn’t look like you’re gonna have one any time in this millennium because they’ve got secret rules against people like you which, at least in my opinion, everybody ought to.

Oh, there’s more.

The address of the Super PAC—10130 Northlake Boulevard in West Palm Beach, Florida—would appear to place it in a strip mall alongside businesses like Subway, Dunkin Donuts and Supercuts.

I wonder if Rudy Giuliani got it for her.

Thanks to Alfredo over at the Dairy Queen for the heads up.

I’ve always been envious of people that lack shame. Josh Hawley is apparently taking the fourth door when it comes to defending yourself when you’ve participated in a failed coup. The first three defenses are ones each of us would do in a normal situation. You can just stay quiet and hope it goes away. You can apologize and hope it goes away. You can also resign and slink away in shame.

Mr. Hawley has chosen a fourth way. Attack. He has launched a counter ethics complaint against the seven Democrats that are asking for his removal from the Senate. Apparently, you shouldn’t expel people for failed coups. It was just a minor disagreement over who should be in charge after all.

I’m not sure what it takes to be this bullheaded. Maybe you could call it courage. Maybe you could call it stupidity. Maybe you could call it stubbornness. Maybe his conscience is just three sizes too small. As some football coach once said, the best defense is a good offense.

Well, CNN decided to track corporate donors to federal candidates so you can know where to spend your money.

Click right here.

Look, I’d just as soon see all of the corporate donors stop it and give their money to charity instead of buying congress.  This looks like a pretty good start.

Thanks to Phyllis for the heads up.

I am opposed to the silent filibuster.

I support a real filibuster.

I support a filibuster where Senators must stand there and speak.  I’ll even loosen the rules – they can go to the bathroom, grab a bite to eat, and even sleep at night — just so long they have someone covering for them.  You can ask your fellow filibuster supporters in the senate to cover for you up to 24 hours, but every 24 hours, you have to show up and remind us all how we got to this sheet show.

Sadly, if you’re the only one filibustering you gotta eat while talking and even talk in your sleep and look like an idiot (example: Ted Cruz). Sorry, there’s just no way around it. When you’re on your own, you’re on your own.

I think the filibuster should play constantly on CSpan and at least a continuous hour of it has to play on the nightly news channels. Let people see their senate at work.

Look, this is democracy, so if you have a good idea, you should be able to talk people into it and, by God, I wanna give you a chance to do it. If this bill will add a zero at the end of everybody’s paycheck and is a sure cure to droopy booby syndrome, you ought to have a chance to sell that idea to Americans, who will then get behind your cause. If your idea is so dumb that you have to read children’s books you’ve obviously never read before because you don’t have anything better to say, then the American people have a never-ending ability to point and laugh and they’ll use it.

Before you say my idea is too goofy, think about it.  That’s the way it used to be and everything ain’t getting better just because we changed it.   Look, the last filibuster was in 1964 when Senator Robert Byrd led a 14 hour filibuster against the Civil Right Act. It passed both houses on congress anyway.  The good part is that Robert Byrd and Strom Thurman get to spend history as jackasses.

Keep the filibuster, just open it up so Americans can hear into that back smoked filled room where Mitch McConnell does whatever too-creepy-to-even-think-about thing he does.

Written by Nick Carraway —

“The first several days of the Biden administration has seen a number of Trump era policies go down in flames. The furious pace of executive orders has obviously been necessary and a number of things will have to go on the back burner for now. One of those is space exploration.

Ms. Carraway works in the space industry. I took a few college courses in science, so my explanation of what she does would be crude at best. She also doesn’t like blabbing her business in public as NASA is officially a defense department initiative. Suffice it to say, she is one of the many people that supports the astronauts on the Space station..

That brings us to the whole idea of Space Force. The notion seemed hilarious at first and the Steve Carrell Netfiix series certainly doesn’t help. Weaponizing space is just stupid. Yet, when you create a bureaucracy it is incredibly difficult to uncreate it. So, if you keep it around then what does it do exactly?

The other great question is what NASA and the space exploration industry will put their energy behind. We have heard about landing on the moon again, landing on an asteroid, and landing on Mars. This is one area where our last several presidents have failed. There has been no cohesive vision for space. I firmly believe if you give them a common goal and the means to obtain they can accomplish anything. If you give them no direction they will accomplish nothing.”
