The next time the Democrats run a woman for President, the Vice-President needs to have BDE. Tim Kaine was chosen because of Virginia, at the time, being considered a purple State, Tim Walz was chosen for Mid-West connection. Forget the geographic consideration in such a nationalized environment. If Americans are going to vote for a strong mom, there better be a strong dad out back barbequing some steaks. And, ignoring what I just said about geography, Pennsylvania was lost by 16,000 votes out of seven million cast, 0.2% of the vote. A MDE of Shapiro could have made the difference in a race like that, tanking the Big Ugly Bill and making flipping the Senate this year a lot easier. (Although I don't support Shapiro's position on Israel which might have cost the Democrats Michigan because Elissa Slotkin barely won that race.) Anyway. BDE is needed if a woman is running as President. If I can be crass (and very British) for moment, there are a group of American men and women who will vote for one pussy on a ticket, but not two.

oh oh, this doesn't look good:

If Chuck Schumer likes to win then he will generously step aside for the next generation of leadership in the Senate. He will generously acknowledge that his best days are behind him and his role is to now encourage, support and foster new leadership from the comfort of a back bench. That would be the way for him to cement his place in history as a leader who recognized his time was done and left positively.

The massive funding cuts to Medicare/Medicaid from the Big Ugly Bill ($625 billion dollars cut from Medicaid over the next 10 years) come into effect after the mid-terms. Likely 7.8 million people will lose Medicaid coverage because of The Great Incompetent's legislative agenda. Timing is everything and, in case you were worried, Mitch McConnell is still covered through public health insurance - as he should be, as should EVERY single American or resident who is paying taxes. Every American should have the coverage that Members of Congress have. Every single one.

If vaginal dryness was a person

The obvious cautionary tale is Clarence Thomas. Once he climbed the ladder, he pulled it up and took it away so no one else could use it. He's a "good" black. He supports institutional racism in the USA. Doesn't rock the racist boat. Hopefully the Republican loses in Florida (white or black). However if Byron Donalds is Florida's new Governor, hopefully he won't be as racist as DeSantis. Hopefully he will implement Amendent 4 which was passed in 2018, restoring the voting rights in Florida to people who had completed their sentences for felony convictions. I'm still waiting for DeSantis, who did everything he could to prevent the implementation of Amendment 4, to bring voting fraud charges against The Great Incompetent for illegally voting in Florida.

Sent in troops

The cage fight on the White House lawn lost about $30 million dollars due to high production costs (bulldozing the White House lawn) and poor ticket sales. Dana White - next year? You could put Mitch McConnell on the billing, he was amazing in Pilates today

Now pushing 20 months into this regime's term of office more bad economic news. There are fewer manufacturing jobs in the USA than when The Great Incompetent darkened the door of what's left of the White House. Minus 23,000 jobs last month.

If the Supreme Court takes up the ballroom appeal (they have time to waste on shit like this?) it's likely that it'll be on the Shadow Docket, no signatures and no justifications.

Investigative journalists have reviewed the voting for the Green Giant Peas Prize. Corruption. One of the voting members appears to have been Ossoff's penis.

I'm unexcited by the race for Governor in California. Tom Steyer as the billionaire that says "yes, tax me" could have been interesting, maybe even exciting. He was committed to doing something about climate change. Xavier Becerra is not going to be exciting, and I doubt we'll see much policy innovation coming from his office. Call me disappointed.

So no more almost 100% straight white men on corporate boards? Our long standing system of affirmative action for straight white men is being ended by the Supreme Court?

You are consistent

Mitch McConnell was really working hard in his Sweating to the Oldies class with Richard Simmons (R.I.P.) this morning.

I love it that a federal Judge pointed out and clarified for The Great Incompetent that "this isn't your house, it's our house. You are a tenant."

He's got a thing for "filling pot holes".

Perhaps if she's a Canadian living in the USA she's just acclimatized to low information? Will she be discussing Ossoff's penis size at the wedding? With the bride or with the groom? Or, given it's Canada, with either bride or either groom?

Billionaires are layoff tens of thousands of people. In terms of job creation it's small business that is the engine of the employment economy.

That the President of the United States is trying to imprison someone else for his own incompetence. Did I get it right?

He's protecting his future as a lobbyist and appointments to corporate boards. Cassidy is consistent though, as a real doctor he also voted to confirm the whack job of Kennedy in Health. That my have been more spineless than this.

Employment statistics have dropped for both Canada and the USA. The Canadian economy (1/9th the size of the USA economy) created 75,000 jobs. The USA lost 23,000 jobs over the same period. Both countries rely on household surveys to estimate unemployment levels. The Canadian approach emphasizes broader sector coverage and demographic detail. In the USA the focus is on payroll employment and people who are absent and on unpaid leave are considered to be employed. The USA approach leads to a lower reported level of unemployment than the Canadian approach. Job losses under Republican presidents is normal. Historically job growth has occurred under Democratic Presidents. Fact.
