What a wreck

August 27, 2026August 27, 2026 ~ susie

The Democratic Party has let a consulting industry exploit elderly donors in its name, wreck its reputation and finances in the process, and walk away rich whether the party wins or loses. When a mirror is held up, the instinct is to break the glass rather than look. On why the press looks away:

Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman said Wednesday he’s open to Donald Trump’s idea that the U.S. acquire Greenland, telling reporters that it’s “strategically a smart thing.”

This is right and why Dems really need to stop using that b-word and pretending it exists

I KNOW, RIGHT?

Right now the prevailing ethos in DC is "Trump won so the law is immaterial and he can rule as dictator." He's not allowed to appoint his own FBI director, but everyone has decided to let him. He can't unilaterally create an agency for Elon Musk, but we're just going to treat it as real. Appalling.

Biden, who won with a MUCH larger majority than Trump, was not permitted to govern as an autocrat. He was expected to obey the law and respect norms, he was resisted frequently and immediately, and his efforts were often blocked. But the DC power class has decided Trump's win simply makes him king.

This discrepancy is largely of Democrats' own making. In their endless idiotic quest to be savvy, they've decided that the smart prediction is that nothing will stop Trump, that the country doesn't care about his abuses, and have "savvily" moved out of the way for him. Their voters should torch them

14th Amendment

I’m with Larry Tribe and Jamie Raskin on this one: Invoke the 14th, and tell the Kevin McCarthy and the House Republicans to go fuck themselves. And if the lawless SCOTUS tries to interfere, tell them to go fuck themselves, too.

Twelve years after a Democratic president and a divided Congress reached a debt limit agreement after months of grueling negotiations, a similar dynamic has complicated the debt limit discussion. https://t.co/OR4RwXSkP4

God, I can’t stand Manchin. Via Rolling Stone:

SENATOR JOE MANCHIN, an alleged Democrat, went on Fox News’ Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo — the Sunday morning equivalent of Tucker Carlson — and declined to identify as a member of the Democratic Party. That’s right, the senator who jokes with Republicans about switching parties, is now claiming he is an “American” instead of a Democrat.

“Do you still identify as a Democrat?” Bartiromo asked the senator at the conclusion of the interview.

“I will be involved in any way I can to help,” Manchin said.

“Do you still identify as a Democrat?” the host repeated.

“I identify as an American,” the senator replied.

Piece of work
