It wasn't Ted Cruz. He's not a Trump trufan, and he lacks the vertebral fortitude to actually risk anything for any cause. The big name Team Red senators: Cruz, Graham, McConnell, Rand, etc. just blew with the wind that was coming from Donald Trump, and they'll blow some other way when he's gone. T...

Oops. You're right. I'd forgotten him vs Beto O'Rourke in 2018 & mixed it up with Cornyn's re-election.

I've never paid close attention to Cruz so I have no idea how dumb or smart he is.

However, I note he just started a new term and is not up for re-election until 2026, so fortunately for him, the fiasco of January 6th, 2021 and his role in it will probably be a long-faded memory by that point.

That's good news.

It's the capital T with the line through it. It appears on the second line of functions on my screen.

NYT: ‘A Total Failure’: The Proud Boys Now Mock Trump But since then, discontent with Mr. Trump, who later condemned the violence, has boiled over. On social media, Proud Boys participants have complained about his willingness to leave office and said his disavowal of the Capitol rampage was an act...

It makes me smile.

I totally support Trump’s pardon of Bannon. It’s the most representative exhibit of the Trump administration. Trump supporters getting conned by a Trumpist and then getting away with it because Trump doesn’t care about people that support him. The latest list is full of slime: Besides Bannon, other...

It's not a good time to be a banker in China. China doesn’t fool around when it comes to financial regulation. On January 5, a Chinese court sentenced a senior finance industry executive to death. He was guilty – in the words of the court –of being “extremely greedy.” 赖小民为你的罪而死 And so it is written.

I finally figured out who DJT Jr reminds me of: https://img.thedailybeast.com/image/upload/dpr_2.0/c_crop,h_1396,w_1396,x_0,y_0/c_limit,w_128/d_placeholder_euli9k,fl_lossy,q_auto/v1499856245/trump-junior-donald-trump_bfi6va https://www.livingwaters.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Eric-Hovind-300x300....

IMHO, if Trump buggered an altar boy on right on the altar, the Trumpsters would accept whatever lies or excuses he gave for it.

If you asked me 4 years ago, I would have thought that Ivanka would have been the most viable Trump to successfully run for something. Now it's clearly DJTJ. Despite being an anthropomorphic line of coke, he clearly has identified the key appeal of his father, which is unfocused rage and resentment...

Or, put another way, in the case of the protection detail, a job that advertises as being so selfless that you're expected to take a bullet for your principal attracts people for whom absolute servility is their kink. In fairness to the US Secret Service, I think they sign up for the job in the bel...

Don't mention the war.

Hah!

Which war? Christmas? Culture?
Or...current one?

My bad. I wasn't supposed to mention not mentioning the war. (There's always a war.)

Good to see you.

Did anybody see the thread on Twitter about how for security's sake you have to assume there were foreign agents in amongst the rioters? (I can't find it at the moment). They were pointing out how many places in the Capitol they would have had unsupervised access to and for how long, and how many t...

Well, it looks like a second go-around on Impeachment, if only to lock the gate so he can't come back. I don't think he will be convicted this time around. I doubt the Blues will be able to find 17 Reds in the Senate to go along. Especially if McConnell as Senate Minority Leader is able to spin it o...

Give it another week.
OTOH they may well all switch back by Biden's 100th day.

I intially read that as "...switch back by Biden's 100th birthday."
'Wait a minute! Biden's not that old.'

Like Jason, I’m buying into the Bowling Alone thesis. This has hit closer to home moving to a new place and how hard it is to make connections during the pandemic. For Jason, how does this play into the 'move to where the jobs are' model? Or the people who didn't move who are pissed off that all th...

Long curly ones. And lots of body hair. Like other extinct pachyderms.
