I don't see what her new message would be in 2028 that's going to wash the film of the 2024 campaign from her resume. It's so unfortunate that Biden held on. He was a successful president in many ways. Woulda shoulda coulda. If Biden had decided to be a consequential one term president, and then spent the next two years joyfully welcoming the next generation of leadership - American would be a much healthier and wealthier and less hateful of a place.

Wait. What? Are you saying that the Incompetent-in-Chief won the (very prestigious) American Standard Pees Prize? The selection committee for that prize is composed of the leading lights of the plumbing industry and porn producers. A 21 flush salute to him, no one could deserve it more than our Incompetent-in-Chief.

You and Steven should be saving this material for the Peas Prize awards ceremony. Apparently the venue has been changed to the Eros bath house in San Francisco instead of the original location at the Reagan Library.

The Incompetent-in-Chief tells people over and over that the whole world is going to hell in a handbasket and that "they" are out to get you. And he is the personification of every ugly thing he says and predicts.

The over performance of the Democrats in special elections continues. Last week's Tennessee 7th house seat had a 13+ swing towards the Democrats. Even though during the campaign the GOP's candidate steered clear of mentioning Trump as much as possible, and the Democrats ran a candidate that was more easily misrepresented as a "radical" than other candidates would have been. The GOP also spent a lot of money in this campaign, money flooded in from out of State right-wing PACs. However even if this type of support holds it's unlikely that a 2018 Blue Wave might happen. The GOP has gerrymandered House seats since 2018. This Tennessee 7th district was gerrymandered in 2022. Under the old map the Democrat would have won. GOP motto, if you can't win, cheat. It seems the GOP hates American democracy.

The made up award season continues. @stevenkesslar has won The Green Giant Company's inaugural .Peas Prize. Does Steve like peas - who knows? Did he attend the award ceremony in tightie whities - I'm sure he'll let us know. Was the award ceremony held at 4 Season's Total Landscaping? Does it matter? Two hundred years of the real estate industry's mantra of location, location, location. It's fake news. Living next to an newly unregulated nuclear waste dump is in! The important thing is Steve has a Green Giant Peas Prize and Obama doesn't.

I'm please to tell you all that I was selected as the honoree of the recently created Chick-fil-A Piece Prize. I know some of you will question both the award and my selection. I don't like chicken. I've never done anything to warrant recognition for my piece-work. I'd never been to a Chick-fil-A until recently for the award ceremony. The only thing that matters is that I have a Chick-fil-A Piece Prize and Obama doesn't.

You have a future career awaiting you in the Incompetent-in-Chief's spin room churning out X files and "alternative" facts

Get a room

I just finished Pelosi's 2024 book, The Art of Power. For people who follow politics it provides a survey of events of American politics over the last 40 years. I'm not too sure if it'd have much of an audience outside of the politically committed (unlike the Obama's various books). Pelosi emphasizes HIV/AIDS as a reason for her first entering into electoral politics in late 80's. Then there are sections on the 9/11 Commission, passing the ACA and the attempted MAGA coup in 2021. It's really in the last section of the book dealing with the assault on American democracy on January 6th that the book comes alive. Maybe it's more recent, maybe it's the fact that her daughter's life was in danger as well that day while in the Capital. She talks about various Republican elected officials that day, from the courage of Mike Pence refusing to leave the Capitol and his commitment to the peaceful transfer of power, Mitch McConnell's initial condemnations of the Incompetent-in-Chief while later refusing to consider impeachment, Steve Scalise's involvement in calls to the President which he later denied were ever made, and she has a special place in her heart for Kevin McCarthy's portrait in cowardice whining there was nothing he could do at all that day.

The Grand Jury was never presented with the final charging document by the rookie prosecutor that the Grand Jury voted on. It's just more incompetence from the Incompetent-in-Chief's administration. Leavitt blaming other people for the Administration's own incompetence - what a man baby we have in the White House. My god will this Administration take responsibility for any of the thousands of their screw ups and self-dealing.

AND a plan for building and funding infrastructure from the Incompetent-in-Chief

I just saw Wicked for Good. I hope no one throws water on the Incompetent-in-Chief before he releases this Plan (that the GOP has been promising for 15+ years).

I don't think I've pointed out my question adequately. This isn't about the the Supreme Court striking down progressive legislation. They're right-wing extremists, no one is expecting them to support civil rights, voting rights or small 'd' democracy. This is about this group of extremist activist justices weaponizing the shadow docket - seldom used before 2017 - to issue quick anonymous rulings that lack any explanation, legal precedent or reasoning backing them up. Presented with the exact same set of circumstances under a Republican or a Democratic President and/or Congress with the shadow docket they could issue two separate politic decisions depending on who's in power. The shadow docket decisions are more political decisions and less about the rule of law and the Constitution.
