You think you’re facing a crisis? How about that poor guy trying to parallel park in the Suez canal? In Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu is on his, like, hundredth election without “a clear path” (which probably still won’t get rid of him). You could be Meghan McCain.
David Waldman and Greg Dworkin discuss the latest crises and non-crises, along with the latest impressions of those in the news:
There is no immigration crisis. Requesting asylum isn’t unfair or illegal. Abusive detention should be illegal. Presently, Joe Biden isn’t doing much different from what the former guy did, but that could, and should, change soon.
We have a gun death crisis, for the last few decades now. Republicans know that as well as anyone, and we know as well as anyone they will never do a thing about it. In their hearts, they will thank Democrats for finally actually taking over.
Are we out filibuster busting when we could be cloture cancelling? Why no, because the Senate would abhor a Rule 22 vacuum. David explains how an extended debate could become eternal.
DC statehood would always help, while giving representation to a lot of taxpayers, which is what the founders wanted, after all. Or we could try equitable representation, as I for one would dig living in The Firelands.
Eric Greitens is attempting a comeback in Missouri, but the baggage he’s carrying might contain a body. GlaxoSmithKline Plc fires the former Warp Speed czar from the Galvani Bioelectronics board for sexual harassment. Dr. Deborah Birx won’t make a cent from you injecting bleach, but she could make millions from you breathing ozone, so…
Jerome Powell is well liked, though.
Did you know that your security camera could be someone else’s “onlyfans” fun? Wear clean undies when you go to the kitchen for that midnight snack!
