Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

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

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

The words do not have to be perfect.

We still have time to mess this up!

White supremacy is terrorism.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Today’s GOP: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

“Squeaker” McCarthy

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

If you are still in the GOP, you are an extremist.

Meanwhile over at truth Social, the former president is busy confessing to crimes.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

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

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

I’d try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

Come on, man.

This is fabulous news:

Lawmakers who sit on the panel said they are prepared to pursue criminal charges against witnesses like Bannon who have balked at cooperating.

“We are completely of one mind that if people refuse to respond to questions without justification that we will hold them in criminal contempt and refer them to the Justice Department,” Rep. Adam B. Schiff (D-Calif.), a member of the panel, said in an interview Tuesday.

To proceed with a criminal contempt charge, the full committee must meet, which is unlikely this week but lawmakers will probably signal their intention to proceed to seek contempt charges, said a person familiar with the process who, like others, spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive talks.

Negotiations between Clark’s legal team and the committee did not proceed as rapidly as the panel hoped, according to a person familiar with the conversations, which resulted in the subpoena being issued Wednesday.

The committee is seeking documents and a deposition from Clark by Oct. 29.

Fortunately for us, it looks like Schiff and other members of the committee seem to understand the gravity of the situation and how tenuous our shit is right now. We are on the edge of the precipice, and if this is not dealt with, I am firmly of the belief that things are over. One party openly embraces chaos and treason, whether you want to believe it or not.

    One party openly embraces chaos and treason, whether you want to believe it or not.

    Just as a side note, I once thought that simply trying to disenfranchise a person who has the right to vote should be considered… I dunno, a not-quite corporal is a lance corporal, maybe this should be lance treason?

    It’s like, in the Declaration, we said that governance is permitted by the consent of the governed, and the Constitution is ordained, and established, by “We, the people of the United States”. So if you try to keep people from voting, in hopes of an electoral advantage, you are holding yourself in opposition to the government that is fairly and freely elected, which is to say, the rightful government.

    (Oh, for you disenfranchisers out there, yeah, the logic is solid – I don’t care if you didn’t actually *swing* the election, just like it doesn’t matter if an assault on Congress actually harmed congresscritters, or prevented their certification of a free and fair election – it’s still putting yourself in opposition to the rightful government, and, just like attempted murder is still attempted murder if the gun jams, treason is still treason if you don’t actually win.)

    Call me a pessimist, but aside from maybe throwing Bannon in jail for a bit, nothing will come of this. The people who need to hear it are deaf to it. The GOP will call it a partisan hit job, the media will treat it as a skirmish and at the end of it no one will pay a serious price for this, nor will the needle be moved for 2022 or 2024.

    This country already is over, this is just the calm before the 2022 storm.

    I like that they are really serious about criminal contempt charges on this grave matter but it’s unlikely they can can get togeher the full committee this week I mean, it’s already Hump Day so there’s no way they can get anything done in the remaining 3 days of the week especially on Columbus Day week or the autumal equinox week or the the Persieds meteors week.

    Completely O/T, but pretty big if you’re in L.A.:

    Los Angeles City Councilman Mark Ridley-Thomas was indicted Wednesday on federal charges of taking bribes from a former USC dean in exchange for supporting millions of dollars in L.A. County contracts with the university when he was on the county Board of Supervisors.

    A federal grand jury accused Ridley-Thomas of conspiring with Marilyn Louise Flynn, then dean of USC’s School of Social Work, to steer county money to the university in return for admitting his son Sebastian into graduate school with a full-tuition scholarship and a paid professorship.

    Damn, because I think he’s been a fairly good Councilman, too. (I don’t follow L.A. city politics as closely as I used to.)

    The letters to the four witnesses can be found here:

    Daniel Scavino
    Kashyap Patel

  83. 83.

    Another Scott

    @Mallard Filmore: Looking at the committee letters to the witnesses, I see that they each say that each witness has to provide documents to the committee by October 7.  Maybe some of the discussions that some of them were having were about extending that deadline or whatever.  Maybe.

    Presumably we wouldn’t be hearing one way or the other about them producing documents or not unless the witnesses made a big deal about it.

    So, maybe one deadline has passed without some or all of them being responsive.  I guess we’ll find out eventually.

    But the committee obviously gamed out what to do if they didn’t get full compliance by the deadlines.  They’re not stupid.  Impatient Twitter screaming isn’t going to change anything the Committee does.

    FWIW.

One person briefed on the matter said an event had occurred in Paris. It was not clear whether her trip to Europe was at the urging of the party committee.
    The chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, Senator Gary Peters of Michigan, is also in Europe this week and headlined a dinner on Wednesday in London, with contribution levels as much as $36,500, according to a copy of an invitation.

    This country already is over, this is just the calm before the 2022 storm.

    You are doom-trolling. US politics is in play. Trump, an incumbent, lost in 2020. The Democrats held the house. The Democrats gained (precarious) procedural control of the Senate, and are confirming judges[1]. The Biden administration is undoing a lot of the vile Executive Branch moves the Trump administration made. The Biden administration is at least trying to undo some of the breakage done by the Trump administration, e.g. the breaking of the JCPOA (Iran deal). The Democrats and their allies are not being outplayed (e.g. in the fights over narratives) by Republicans the way they were in the past, and are sometimes outplaying the GOP. The US media, while center-right at best, is nowhere near as RW as e.g. the UK media. The GOP is a delusional cult. It is killing a net of about a Jonestown of voters (R minus D people of voting age) per day. It is making mistakes because many members, including national level figures, have lost touch with broader reality and are pickling in the own side’s propaganda.

    Please save the doom stuff for real threats, like global heating;. (We (humanity) on track to kill billions of humans and cause a massive extinction event. 4 degrees C is pretty much baked in at the moment, and China is making “more coal power” moves.)

    [1] “As of October 7, 2021, the United States Senate has confirmed 16 Article III judges nominated by Biden: five judges for the United States courts of appeals and 11 judges for the United States district courts.” (wikipedia)

    @Bill Arnold:

    I recognize Biden’s wins and the fact that he’s making progress, especially in the judiciary.

    I don’t however think it’s enough progress, fast enough, and I don’t lay this at his feet, he’s being hamstrung by both the GOP and Dem infighting. I also disagree that the Dems are winning the narrative battle. Biden’s infrastructure and reconciliation bills have become about the cost, not what is in them.

    The GOP at the state level is purging anyone involved in elections that shows any semblence of impartiality, they mostly own the 2020 redistricting and as a resident of Austin, TX I can tell you how since liberals mostly gather in urban areas it’s pretty easy to crack and pack us into GOP dominated districts. If you don’t think that legitimate Dem wins will be overturned in 2022 and 2024, you’re being naive.

    While Biden might be appointing judges at good pace, the SCOTUS is still dominated by reactionary wingnuts and we’ve seen what they think of voting. Additionally the growing Latino population in Texas that was supposed to turn Texas purple (yes I read Rui Teixeira’s Emerging Democratic Majority) are trending GOP/MAGA.

    If we faced MAGA in 2020 and barely eked by? 2022 has a headwind and 2024, well who knows admittedly, but running, what an 82 year old with no record? Probably not ideal. But I’ll end with this, Trump was a fucking moron, but he did write the book on how to turn America authoritarian, thankfully he was too stupid it pull it off. The playbook is already being implemented by people way smarter than him, and the media is too self absorbed to care, the GOP is giddy and the Dems are feckless.

    I actually came here to be talked off the ledge, so thank you for engaging.
