Stop attacking Gosar.
Let’s see what a deal looks like and how much we’ve cucked or doomed McCarthy.
This is politics. Not a bake sale.

The public has an idea about Congress that’s completely divorced from reality. Many actually believe that these people are there to represent *them.*
Unless you’ve hired lobbyists in DC to personally ensure that your congressman is representing your interests, you should assume otherwise.

The House will anoint McCarthy in the dead of night and the public will look forward to watching football on Sunday.
We have the government we deserve.

I used to think that Trump would have handled the Ukraine situation very differently than Biden has.
But then I remembered that Trump was the President who escalated the situation by taking the unprecedented step of sending lethal aid to Ukraine, at the insistence of the deep state. He boasted about it endlessly, to prove to the NYT journalists that he regularly dined with that he wasn’t a Russian agent.
Trump also took no for an answer when he ordered the generals to withdraw all American forces from Afghanistan.
This is all speculation, but I posit that if Trump were in the same position as Biden with Ukraine facing invasion from Russia, he would have handled the situation more or less in the same way that Biden has.

When Trump arrived at the White House on January 20th of 2017, he desperately wanted to be accepted by the Washington establishment. The spooks, the journalists, the academics and especially the generals in military uniforms adorned with shiny medals.
Just about every misstep of the Trump Presidency was rooted in Trump’s deep desire to be accepted, and even celebrated, by the people he found himself surrounded with when he arrived in Washington DC.
The solution of course was to remake the establishment in his image by firing every Schedule C appointee on day 1 and replacing them with true ideological loyalists (as Presidents normally do). But he didn’t have the wherewithal to do that.

The CIA briefer who leaked the Ukraine call never should have been anywhere near the Oval Office.
McCarthy certainly wouldn’t be my choice for Speaker of the House, but he is set to be confirmed in the next few hours and any further opposition is an exercise in futility.
Be grateful to the congressmen who extracted important concessions through their opposition to McCarthy in the last several days.

US Marshals and Capitol Police received special “tactical operations” challenge coins for doing the brave task of standing around at the Capitol on January 6th today.
No word as to whether they were also given Purple Hearts.

Prominent conservative leader Matt Schlapp accused of groping male campaign staffer
The staffer said that Schlapp invited him up to his room when the two arrived at his hotel, but he declined and tried to get away as quickly as possible.
It’s hard to believe that George Santos is in Congress until you look into 10 other congressmen at random.
Half of these people have totally confabulated backstories.

Matt Schlapp tried to touch me, too, at his offices in 2016/17 when we were negotiating my headliner spot at CPAC. I recoiled, made a joke about him being the wrong skin color, and added that if he tried it again I would slap him and go public. Maybe that had something to do with him colluding to wreck my career, I don’t know.

It turns out that Trump had used this phrase long before the 2015 GOP debate
It still seems possible that older people with comorbidities received some benefit from the COVID vaccines. But the data is so messy that we’ll never know for sure.

U.S. appeals court strikes down ban on bump stocks
A U.S. appeals court on Friday struck down a rule the Trump administration had adopted following a 2017 Las Vegas mass shooting that banned "bump stocks," devices that allow people to rapidly fire multiple rounds from semi-automatic guns.
20 years ago, these same men would have been cavorting with STD-ridden streetwalkers who worked for thuggish pimps. They'd call them "johns" or "tricks." Today they're sending Western Union transfers to one of Andrew Tate's girlfriends.
Welcome to the world of vice. Of course, it isn't pleasant to gaze upon. But it's also not at all worthy of getting bent out of shape over.
