Biden Democrats Feeling Fat and Sassy. Why?


According to the New York Times, the Democrats are flush with cash and hope it's a sign they can hold on to the House in the mid-terms. It seems the DNC is sitting on $75 million. 

Not wanting to rain on the Dems' parade but the paper also reports that the Mango Mussolini made hay while the sun shone, i.e. right up to Biden's inauguration, to the tune of $255 million in donations ostensibly to help him overturn Biden's election win.

It remains to be seen what the "Donor Class" will do in the runup to the mid-terms. Some of them were put off  by Trump but that doesn't mean they'll abandon the RNC next time.

    The donor class always makes the right moves. It's their game and their chessboard. Electability is everything. They'd even go with Trump again if the numbers told them to. I think the RNC is safe. The money guys are already winning with the Democrats scared shitless of giving an inch to the lefties. How much of the quarter billion was scammed from slugs in the hammer-and-shovel class?

    I will say it again the Dems will be turfed in the midterms because they do not want to win! A few do and they are looked as being barking mad because they want to play the repuglican game - win at all cost.

    I hope that the Senate will prove me wrong but as the impeachment process is doomed to fail, because of the lack of repug votes then the strategy should be to prove that tRump did all the nasty things he is being accused of - history will do the rest. Besides if the case is made well then the stench of tRump will stick to the repugs who will vote against because they think the case is unconstitutional (which it isn't).

    It will be an interesting fourteen days for us watchers, even if we know that the strongest case will never be made because the Dems are too nice!

Navigating the Minefield of Short-Termism

Image
Its disappearance went largely unnoticed. There was no post mortem, no eulogy, no deep sighs for what had been lost. Posterity slipped from our consciousness as we ushered in the neoliberal era 40 years ago. Populations would now be administered, not led. Grand vision was a quaint artifact of generations past. Besides, the invisible hand of the marketplace would see to all our needs today, tomorrow, forever. Politicians grew smaller and smaller until they shrunk to fit the mold of technocracy.  Like sheep being dipped we were plunged into a world of supply-side economics in which lower taxation and deregulation would deliver manna from heaven. We focused on skinning the economy, and society, right to the bone. Everything would be maximized, nothing would be wasted, not even the offal.  We were surrendered to a world of short-termism. We elected governments of technocrats - grey suits stuffed with wet cardboard - whose horizons were measured in electoral cycles. They would do what they

The Gun We Point at Our Own Heads

Image
  If you're sitting at a table and there's a loaded pistol in front of you, do you pick it up and point it at your own head?  Probably not, unless something has gone terribly, terribly wrong. How would you feel if someone else was holding that pistol to your head? But there is a pistol pointed at our heads and, unless we do something about it, we're goners. It's not a Glock. It's fossil fuels and the industry is slowly squeezing the trigger. Proven fossil fuel reserves are sufficient to generate 3.5 trillion tons of greenhouse gas emissions .  Russia and the United States each have massive reserves of fossil energy sufficient to push humanity through the 1.5C heating limit, sometimes called the "carbon budget."  I have it on reliable authority that Washington and the Kremlin aren't getting along very well these days. After all, if you won't hold the line on nuclear proliferation, you might not be inclined to voluntarily give up a major source of na

The Cognoscenti Syndrome

  There is a group of people I think of as the Cognoscenti, people who are well educated, very informed and of rapidly diminishing relevance. Their ranks include writers such as Chris Hedges and Glen Greenwald. These are people who have honed an almost Puritanical value system, readily finding fault in any direction. They are scathing in their attacks on Republicans and Democrats alike to the point where they become nihilists. They don't endorse. They prescribe. This is where they fail. They're unable to advocate for anything that might resonate with the public whose interests they argue are being trammeled. Donald Trump was bad but Joe Biden is scarcely better. This is where their elitism comes in.  74 million may have voted for Trump but, hey, they didn't know any better. The mob that stormed the Capitol. They were just victims of the system venting their frustrations. All the racism, bigotry, xenophobia, misogyny, white nationalism - inevitable side effects of their oppr
