Biden, the genius

 + Biden came out against killing the filibuster this week, saying oxymoronically that it would lead to “chaos” and “gridlock.” The filibuster is, of course, the very lock on the grid...Like the old rag man Krook in Dickens’ Bleak House, every time Biden goes off script he spontaneously combusts in from his own gaseous idiocy…

 

+ Instead of removing any of the 243 sanctions Trump slapped on Cuba, Biden has added two more.

 

+ Once again Merrick Garland has chosen not to pursue charges against Trump officials, in this case Wilbur Ross and his cronies who the Inspector General found perjured themselves before Congress about the 2020 Census. If politicians don’t have the ability to lie with impunity, how would they be able to promise their constituents anything? The political advertising industry–one of the last growth industries left– would collapse overnight…
