David Waldman and Greg Dworkin wouldn’t miss this KITM for the world, and neither should you:
It’s a Big F’n Week for President Joe Biden. Merrick Garland is finally confirmed to work in the public sector, along with several other key people. Joe saved American lives from COVID-19, and today will do the same for the economy. Joe, Spock, everyone, wants everyone to live long and prosper, — except for Republicans. Republican politicians are making sure Republican voters get what they’re asking for. What do Republicans want, anyhow? They literally don’t have a clue. Therefore, they only want to win. What does Joe Manchin (Kinda D, WV) want? Jiminy Christmas, don’t ask him! Even John Cornyn doesn’t want to hear the answer to that. We already got rid of the filibuster once before, back when Congress members could be “present” and “absent” at the same time.
Meanwhile, the Supreme Court rejected the final Trump bid to nullify 2020 election results. Sydney Powell wasn’t even worth a comment.
Newt Gingrich’s signature Congressional Review Act heads towards its deadline on the regulations that it could be used to eliminate. David flips through this year’s House calendar to determine where that deadline falls.
Marjorie Traitor Greene was certain 1/6 was some antifa deal, but her close ally and Trumper friend looked all around the Capitol that day and couldn’t find a one. Marjorie does enjoy making people bend over backwards and try to please her, but fellow Republicans who didn’t really consent to this, recall that their “safe word” can be simply “nay”. A baseball bat wielding insurrectionist husband of a Hitler admiring Congress member got VIP parking for easy riot access.
It is tough to gauge which state handled COVID-19 better, when states are still vying to handle it the worst.
