I mean, I've always had a serious man-crush on Sir Winston. Once you skim past all the murder and mayhem on behalf of His Majesty leading up to WWII, you gotta admit that he was a wartime Rock Star.

The only two special bae* in my heart genuine heros have been Churchill and Marina Navratilova. She had amazing courage strength to own her own identity once she was prematurely outed (before she was quite ready) in 1981.

Better still...

No! Try not. Do..or do not. There IS no try.

Thanks!

FOR THE RECORD:

No! Try not. Do..or do not. There IS no try.

I think the question that needs to be addressed here is why, on God's green earth, are voters poised to reward the GOP with victories in the midterms?

A couple of reasons come to mind.

First off, with a President Biden (versus another four years of...) we've returned to mostly "normal politics" with mostly normal conduct by the pols and scribes (aka our Ruling Class and most media.)

They're getting away with it because all but the Progressives in "the electorate" seem to have reverted to it's severe political memory impairment along with the usual simplistic and unsophisticated thinking, such as:

Well the price of gas went up, so it's Biden's fault!

Biden didn't pass everything ìn 100 days, so...

You get it. Are Canadians like this, Elizabeth? Inquiring minds want to know.

This means that it seems like noone is saying to themselves,

Hmmm, let's see... the last TWO Republican Presidents have been disastrous. I mean, it just got WORSE. And Repugs talk about fiscal responsibility but turn around give billions away to the rich. And, so much ruckus, yeesh!

The Dems SURE aren't blameless, and they sure get carried away with the PC crap. But they DO get things done that tends to help most of us...

Second, Murica's mostly Corporatist media certainly doesn't point any of this out. That's why CW is constantly complaining about what the media focuses on versus what it ought to. One has to go to The Young Turks (ooo, Ana Kasparian -- every Liberal schoolboy's fantasy) or Olbermann et al to get any damned common sense about what's going on.

Whopa, POP QUIZ!

5-Not even close. Next week you will again be defending Biden and the DINOs doing business as usual.

Yes, IF Joe gets it done (and the Dems therefore don't hand the Midterms to the Repugs) twill indeed indeed sing his/their praises.

IF NOT, I won't. And that's why I've ignored the daily sausage making news.

Either do, or do not. There is no "try."

Haha, Southpark! Say, Don, why don't you take 5 minutes to learn how to hang a title ...you'll always be a sandy little butthole... over your links?

It's right there in "Commenting Tips" and if I can do it on a cracked cellphone you can do it from your OD World Headquarters.

Yep. If you'd been paying attention to my comments since I arrived down here in Weigantia, you'd recall that I've been saying these things from day 1.

Of course, Shumer, Pelosi and all so-called "moderates" are DINOs. Big Money owns much of both parties with the plan being, let the plebs fight over abortion and wokeness. They can try and own each other...and meanwhile,
we'll own the money.

I think the question that needs to be addressed here is why, on God's green earth, are voters poised to reward the GOP with victories in the midterms?

The Dems problem is that much of their base has followed Bernie to the left, while rich Democrats have enjoyed lower tax rates as much as rich Repugs. Yes, people want to be woke and such, but Trump winning the Repug nomination and Bernie coming close twice means that "business as usual" won't get it anymore.

Death to Manchin, Sinema and every last DINO.

I hope progressive Democrats do not respond to this disappointing outcome by being "downright angry at their own party's inability to deliver on campaign promises". Rather, they should focus more than ever on the question of why, after four years of Trump and ample evidence that the Congressional Republicans and the Supreme Court have a worldview opposite to any thought of progressive legislation, the country still only elected the barest of bare majorities in both houses of Congress? How to overcome that going forward - how to take Manchin's self-mocking advice - would be a lot more productive than getting "downright angry" at Biden, Schumer and Pelosi, who are clearly doing the best they can with a remarkably weak hand of Congressional cards.
