Best part of the weekend happened already - pictures my brother sent of his son and family placing flags at Arlington National Cemetery. Probably the first time I thanked someone for making me cry. Enjoy the long weekend everyone but please take a moment to think of those who gave their all.
RAHM EMMANUEL! Good Lord! He is a loud mouth mess of a person. Nancy needs to hang it up IMO. 8+6+4+7=25th Amendment! Brilliant! QUESTION: Can it apply to the entire executive branch? Plus liddle mikey and johnny roberts, sammy alito, and clarence thomas? The tribunals are going to be brutal. I cannot wait!
Nancy and her ilk just can't seem to jettison their "third way" politics of the Clintons, which is really just going conservative. It's the dumbest shit ever, and at one point was uncritically referred to as "outflanking them on the right" as if it was a good thing. It was given that same cursory horse-race analysis rather than calling it what it was - abandoning the democrats main constituency, and laying the groundwork for republicans move further to the right. Rahm is the epitome of the this failed strategy.
Even more appalling is the fact there is a legitimately deep bench current dems who have already proven they can counter the fascists, and Pelosi recommends a washed up has been who disappeared almost 10 years ago? It's baffling to the point of making me wonder if she has some cognitive decline happening.
The Democrats have to do better and I mean a whole lot better than Ram. If he's the nominee the Dems will loose, no matter who the repugnantkins choose. I can barely stand to watch the news anymore, I make time for Nicole Wallace because she has the best guests on MSNBC and I don't mind listening to people with brains. If I'm in any way representative of the public, especially the public that is paying attention, the MSM that a lot of us grew up with is toast. We meet here on Substack but I can't tell you how many times I have asked someone, always well educated, if they knew about Substack, and the answer was no. Meanwhile the maggots have their own highly effective way of communicating that they are getting better at weaponizing. We are in very deep shit and the rest of the world is watching, anyone with a lick of sense is planning on a world without us, since we can no longer be depended upon. It may be that our system was bound to fail since we didn't have the ability to prevent what we are witnessing today.
I think you are right, everyone I have asked and they are all well educated, know nothing about it. I fear we are in a “Mr. Jones” moment as Dylan would say. 🤷♂️
Puddy Tat is a wonderful Orange. Apollo approves!!
We have driven 3 hours south for the second (of 3) family birthday weekends this year. Taking a break from most things and enjoying extended family time.
I’ll be going to the VA Cemetary in Eagle Point, OR both Monday (paying respects, including my Dad, two classmates, and a half dozen others) and Tuesday for the Memorial for a friend’s wife (a Desert Storm veteran).
How sad it is that the likely only choice for Dems is a white male! (NOT Emanuel)!
With all the fantastic intelligent Democrat WOMEN and many male & female people of color?
However, I agree Nancy Pelosi needs to retire - that "section" of the Democratic party needs to retire. Its past time for the new generation to BE ALLOWED to take over!
JHFC, my rpms are in the red zone again. NANCY PELOSI wants what?! So effing sick of these Dems. Note: I don't think there's anything 'happy' about Memorial Day.
Love the critters!! John Heilman had Tapper and his co-author on today's Impolitic podcast and he called out Tapper on some of the discrepancies you mention. Tapper stuck to his guns, but Heilman seemed increasingly skeptical of a few things.
Yeah, Pelosi. Democrat Geriatrics. But I repeat myself. AOC and a few others notwithstanding. Being owned by the DNC (having to fundraiser for them) is a concept that deserves the oubliette.
Have a great weekend TC. It's way too early to talk about '28; we still have to figure out how to flip both houses of Congress without stepping firmly on the proverbial crank. Ribs are marinating for Monday. Wish I could add a picture of the snoozing cats, Leslie's look great.

And to whomever placed a flag at my Grandfather's (and Grandmother) plot at the Los Angeles National Cemetery, thank you.

Yeah, she might as well recommend that pseudo-Cajun dude.

No one I know knows what substack is. We are way behind the curve…

Good analogy, thanks

Yah I but I choked on the length of your ¶ ... the total length was welcome. Happy Memorial Weekend to you Tom.

No longer donate to Dems, move on, Frankin, and individuals I like. DNC and DCCC have pissed on us too much.
Wow, I never imagined I’d find someone who detested Rahm Emanuel as much as I do, but I gotta yield pride of place to our host on that. Damn!
I live in a close Chicago suburb, and SOMEONE must have liked him, but I don't have any residing-in-Chgo-proper fam or friends who did.

Happy if you're able to be with friends and family, celebrating what the country's about.

Yes, TC, We all need a mental health break to recharge our batteries keep us resisting and protesting the Orange Menace.
Please relax and have a good rest of the holiday weekend!
Yeah, Pelosi. Democrat Geriatrics. But I repeat myself. AOC and a few others notwithstanding. Being owned by the DNC (having to fundraiser for them) is a concept that deserves the oubliette.
Thank you, TC. Happy Memorial Day weekend to you and all of my friends!

send the pix over to me.
You should have it shortly.
Thank you for this, TC, and a meaningful and restful Memorial Day weekend to us all.
Who cares what Nancy Pelosi wants? She was great in her time but has been put out to pasture.
She is ruining a great legacy
