Blame McConnell

This article wants you to solely blame Mitch McConnell for Trump being back and let Merrick Garland off the hook.

But nah. I can multitask and blame both of them, as well as the moronic angry racists, millions of them, across this country.

The Supreme Court being how it is? I can blame McConnell for that. Allowing Trump as a nominee in the first place? Yeah, he could have stopped that. Allowing insurrectionists to sit in Congress and the Senate? He could have stopped that.

But it was also a team effort.

Chief Justice John Roberts defends judiciary from ‘illegitimate’ attacks

This piece of shit of a Supreme Court leader thinks his institution deserves respect after all they’ve done on his watch – up to and including paving the way for a despot to take power next week.

Look asshole. If violence *does* come to your members you literally only have yourself to blame. It is still a race to see who is more responsible for our country’s failings, but Roberts is pulling ahead of Mitch McConnell these days.

Hello darkness, my old friend: the Ann Telnaes resignation and the late, formerly great Washington Post

Former Washington Post editorial cartoonist Ann Tenaes made a bit of a stir over the weekend after her cartoon (see above) got the axe from her editors and she decided she had had enough and quit.

Many have wrote about it, including Tenaes herself, and Rolling Stone did a story on the dangers of going up against billionaire owners with fragile egos.

We have a wealthy class bowing down to an incoming rapey despot and dare call ourselves a democracy.

Damn shame what they are doing – and are about to do – to this place.
