Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

SCOTUS: It’s not “bribery” unless it comes from the Bribery region of France. Otherwise, it’s merely “sparkling malfeasance”.

We’ll be taking my thoughts and prayers to the ballot box.

Speaker Mike Johnson is a vile traitor to the House and the Constitution.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

Don’t expect peaches from an apple tree.

If you still can’t see these things even now, maybe politics isn’t your forte and you should stop writing about it.

Fundamental belief of white supremacy: white people are presumed innocent, minorities are presumed guilty.

Let there be snark.

“The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.”

The revolution will be supervised.

Oh FFS you might as well trust a 6-year-old with a flamethrower.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

There is one struggling party in US right now, and it’s not the Democrats.

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

Democrats are back in array!

Hot air and ill-informed banter

He imagines himself as The Big Bad, Who Is Universally Feared… instead of The Big Jagoff, Who Is Universally Mocked.

There’s always a light at the end of the frog.

Live so that if you miss a day of work people aren’t hoping you’re dead.

The current Supreme Court is a rogue court. Very dangerous.

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

If ‘weird’ was the finish line, they ran through the tape and kept running.

You are here: Home / Economics / C.R.E.A.M. / It’s you and me forever

    Another Scott

    I got an e-mail from Susan Rice for Gideon this morning:

    Meanwhile, as Speaker of the House, Sara Gideon has proven she can both speak up for what’s right and get results for Mainers — even under Republican Governor Paul LePage. She’s a fighter.

    That’s why I’m doing everything I can to help Sara Gideon defeat Senator Collins in November. I hope you’ll join me.

    Thought it was interesting. I don’t recall seeing her name on political mailings before (but I get so many that I might have missed it).

    Cheers,
    Scott.

    Wasn’t there a big fund gathered to support the Democratic opponent of Sen. Collins, whoever that might be? Millions of dollars IIRC? Where is that money?

    Does Gideon have that money? Who should be in jail for fraud and theft if not?

    @J R in WV: Gideon@J R in WV: 

    Does Gideon have that money?

    She does indeed have that money, some of which was mine, and she seems to be putting it to good use. However, Collins has a huge amount of outside funding.

    @Omnes Omnibus: I actually donated to that fund, but I don’t recall whether they took the money out in real time or whether it was more of a pledge to give when there was a candidate.

    I suspect the former because I have not been asked to pony up, and I have not seen a recent charge

    edit: and the answer is just above me at #5.

    @J R in WV:

    Gideon has the money from Ady Barkan’s “Be A Hero Fund”.

    Over $4 million.   Collins is quite bitter about it, publicly.

    The Republicans are attempting to defend Collins’s seat with massive transfer of cash.   Already this is far and away the most expensive political race in Maine history.   Imagine what it’ll be like by October ….

    @WaterGirl:

    The pledges happened before Collins voted to confirm Kavanaugh, contingent on her voting for confirmation.

    She voted for confirmation, and your pledged amount should have been charged when Gideon was confirmed as the Democratic nominee.  Mine was.

    That’s been a while ago, so it’s easy to have not noticed or to have forgotten by now.

    ETA: corrections above.

    @Skepticat:

    I ask because some of that money was ours…

    Glad to hear it went to the right place.

     

    @Omnes Omnibus:

    What evidence do you have that the money went astray?

    Where in my comment do you see that I assert that it went astray?

    That’s why I ask a question, then I assert that if it didn’t go to the right place trouble needs to happen. Not the same thing at all.

    Really!!

    Looking to furrow Collins’ brow as she moves from “concerned” to “hinky”
