Quibbles and Bits, Over the Hills and With the Shills edition

More chewy bites...


>>T-Rump was on full display in all his in-glory in the Repub shoutfest earlier this week.    Misogyny, narcissism, classism, bullshit-ism, insert-your-ism here.    And judging from the polling, the Repub rubes are eating it up like candy!    He’s an “outsider”, after all.   No – he came out and said that as a businessman, he contributed to whoever so he got what he wanted in legislation.   At least he’s honest.

>>Where is the Dem pushback to all of this?   The speculation on parts of the left wing is that the DNC is trying to set the table all nice and neat for Hillary.   Fewer debates, less chances for gaffes, fewer opportunities for the Bernie train to pick up steam.    This should be a genuine worry for the Hillary camp:  Bernie gets thousands of people per event at his stops, and those people volunteer and are enthusiastic about his candidacy.   I don’t hear about nearly that type of enthusiasm over in the Hills.   Any enthusiasm in her camp is likely happening behind the guarded gates and in the garden parties of the 1%.   They express it in $$ - which is, after all, speech – just ask the SCOTUS.

>>I have dubbed the DNC chair Debbie Weasleman-Shiltz.   She’s a classic DINO, and perhaps one of the most corrupt congress critters in Washington – which is saying a LOT.   She owes a lot to a lot of people.   She’s clearly in the Hillary camp, and judging from her clueless responses to Tweety regarding the Sanders campaign last week, shows as little understanding of Bernie’s appeal as Tweety does.    Or perhaps, she’s trying to plead ignorance in the same way a child puts his/her fingers in the ears whenever the pressure gets too much.   Either way, she’s a symptom and not a solution.   

Mas later.

I’ve taken a break from blogging over the last several months, in large part because of a deluge of things that have happened in my life.  ...
