I have come to believe that all these calls for unity from the Democrats was intended to be for fellow democrats.

They are about to eat each other.

We don't actually have to choose between being popular and governing. In fact, you can't govern without building support and solidarity.

Our popularity comes from our commitment to real working class solidarity. Other Democrats should consider why that is. https://t.co/wxRBmjDQmP

From Politico:

Tlaib lashes out at centrist Dems over election debacle: ‘I can’t be silent’

House Democrats lost seats instead of expanding their majority, underperforming expectations across the board. And moderates have pounced on liberals like Tlaib, the Michigan congresswoman, accusing them of handing conservatives a set of slogans and policies to scare voters.

But Tlaib and other House progressives don’t want to hear it. It all amounts to unfair blame-casting designed to shame them into staying quiet, they say, right as Democrats gain control of the White House.

That is in reference to a conference call from last week after the election which was covered by a reporter.

Spanberger on the Dem caucus call: We lost races we shouldn’t have lost.
Defund police almost cost me my race bc of an attack ad.
Don’t say socialism ever again.
Need to get back to basics.
(Is yelling.)

Rashida Tlaib saying before we make painful statements we need to wait and see how the numbers come down, feels like I’m being asked to be quiet and we need to appeal to certain people, and that’s not right

Then there is this from the Independent:

Warren and Sanders to be frozen out of Biden cabinet, report says https://t.co/7zM6YMTLRC

— The Independent (@Independent) November 11, 2020

This is after Progressives demanded that Sanders and Warren have positions in Biden’s cabinet.

They are going to destroy themselves before they get the camps going to exterminate Trump supporters.

Good.

They them thin themselves out first.  I will make it easier for us later on.

I guess enough people complained that the Miami Herald finally gave it up: Combating Violence Disorder and Looting and Law Enforcement Protection Act

Mosy of the bill tags people with misdemeanors for silly stuff. Now things get stupid when we are talking about throwing projectiles of any kind to either Civilians or Law enforcement and those go straight for the Felony patch.

But I believe this is the part that has collective Media panties all twisted, it is all the way to the end of the document.

IANAL WARNING! You may proceed now.

Looting is now officially a forcible felony. I would have thought to be included in burglary, but I figure it is now clarified. I do believe the Criminal Mischief will be kicked back unless it is narrowed. The definition in the statutes is way too ample and it may be reversed in the courts. Arson was already a forcible felony, but this adds the interruption of business thing that should not matter one way or another: Arson is arson and a forcible felony.

Of course, not being a lawyer, there might be something legal I am missing and which explains why this would make sense.

And in case you don’t know them, here are Florida’s Forcible Felonies that allow for Justifiable Use of Force.

Analysis: Job growth will slow during a Biden presidency: The easy gains are almost gone https://t.co/0kmNstMlol

— The Washington Post (@washingtonpost) November 11, 2020

Just in case you’re keeping track:

The Obama economy was Bush’s fault.

The Trump economy was Obama’s doing.

The future suck-ass Biden economy, which will be a copy of the Obama economy, will be Trump’s fault.

It’s good to know that before Biden is even sworn in that the next four years will have little growth, your 401(k) will yield shit, and you are going to live a life of financial uneasiness with no raises or promotions as your costs go up.

With all the bad news lately, I did find a bit of solace here.

You may have noticed the little underlined passage on that screen capture. It is important because it does not show in their Facebook page and it is also misleading as that newsroom no longer exists. I pointed this out.

That they are gone and no longer in the building is not a state secret. Hell, they even published it back in  June of this year in a very similar-looking article. They even sold the printing building and subcontract the job of a paper edition to another shop in Broward County.

So, like a lot of people today, the Journos of the Herald are working from home.

We know that the office space of today is not what the office space will be for tomorrow as it relates to social distancing and keeping our employees safe. For that reason, Miami Herald and el Nuevo Herald employees will continue to work remotely through the end of the year. After the New Year, once the commercial real estate industry has sorted itself out with regard to new standards and approaches, we will find a new, centralized home.

So what are they after? They either looking for more money to try and rent some abandoned strip mall space and re-open a physical business or they are in such a bad place, they can barely deal with the expenses of their people working from home.

So the Herald has two options: Find themselves a foreign pimp/sugar daddy like the New York Times did or simply close down its doors and save some trees and innocent memory space in the Internet.

Well folks, this is to announce we will be opening the forum come next Monday. We have the Mods, AWA and yours truly running around getting used to this new design and getting ready to welcome all of those who want to participate.

The main rule of the forum will be  (drum roll please) Don’t be a dick.

There is a set of short rules and another one that is long as heck, please read both and then get your feet wet and start to post and mess around.

That is all for now.

I saw several news articles on possible cabinet picks for the Biden administration.

Holy shit.  It is a list of all the worst people, including some old Obama stooges, to ever work in the DC swamp.

From the New York Times:

Who Are Contenders for Biden’s Cabinet?

Amy Klobuchar: Ag Secretary or Attorney General.

Tammy Duckworth: possible Sec Def.  She continued to push the lie about Russian bounties on US troops after it was repeatedly debunked, in order to get Trump.

Michele Flournoy: deputy assistant secretary of defense, she serves on the board of the defense contractor Booz Allen Hamilton, which means more war for profit.

Lily Eskelen-Garcia: possible Education Secretary.  Former president of the National Education Association, she cares more about the teacher’s union than the students.

Randi Weingarten: other Education Secretary candidate.  President of the American Federation of Teachers, a labor union that hates children and holds them hostage for money.

Jay Inslee: possible Energy Secretary.  Famous for his plan to close U.S. coal plants by 2030 and reach net-zero emissions by 2045.  He will cause your power bill to exceed your mortgage, gas to go to $10 per gallon, and rolling blackouts across the United States.  He will be the death of the American economy.

Ernest Moniz: possible Energy Secretary.  He played a critical role in negotiating technical details of the Iran nuclear deal.  He facilitated Iran to develop a nuclear weapon.

Vivek Murthy: possible Surgeon General or Secretary of Health and Human Services.  He was Obama’s surgeon general.  He was totally unqualified, having done no medical research, taught at no medical schools, managed no hospitals, and had barely practiced medicine.  He was selected to be Surgeon General because he founded a PAC, Doctors for Obama, and was rewarded for his politicking in a lab coat.  He is also an advocate for using the term “health crisis” to push gun control.

Val Demings: possible DHS Secretary.  Congresswoman and former Orlando Police Chief.  Top Cop of the murder capital of Florida.  I’m sure Orlando elected her to Congress so that she could fail upward and they could put someone less awful in as police chief.

Xavier Becerra: possible AG.  We all know who this anti-gun fuck-nut is.

Doug Jones: possible high ranking DOJ official but not AG.  We just kicked his ass out of Alabama.  Kimber, Remington, and Styer all in Alabama and he pushed gun control and wanting to eliminate the PLCAA.  Fuck this guy.

Sally Yates: possible high ranking DOJ official.  She led the malicious attack on General Flynn using entirely fictitious evidence.  She is a corrupt political agent.

Susan Rice: high ranking official in the State Department.  We know what she did, blamed the Benghazi attack on a video and unmasked people for speaking up against Obama.  A real piece of shit.

Eric Garcetti: head of DOT.  Former Mayor of LA, home to the worst traffic in the United States.  But don’t worry, while you are going nowhere slowly on mandatory public transportation, your bus will run on clean, renewable energy.

Elizabeth Warren: possible Treasury Secretary.  She will figure out how to reach into your savings and 401(k) to get at all that money you selfishly put away and are hoarding from the government.

Pete Buttigieg: possible head of the VA or UN Ambassador.  McKinsey & Co. stooge, who despite being as privileged as a human being can be, managed to elevate himself to the status of an oppressed victim because he’s gay.

Also from the New York Times:

Progressives’ Wish List for Biden Starts With Warren and Sanders

Two prominent progressive groups, the Sunrise Movement and Justice Democrats, on Wednesday urged President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr. to name left-leaning allies including Senators Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders to top government posts, firing an opening salvo in the left’s campaign to exert influence over Mr. Biden’s agenda.

The public appeals from the Sunrise Movement, a group of young climate organizers, and Justice Democrats, a grass-roots organization that has helped elect people like Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, signal the beginning of the left’s intense efforts to pressure Mr. Biden over the makeup of his executive branch and his administration’s immediate priorities.

She Guevera is trying to broker herself into being the power behind the throne.

Ms. Warren and Mr. Sanders are both said to be interested in the jobs. But appointing them to top government posts would be complicated by the fact that the states they represent, Massachusetts and Vermont, are led by Republican governors, and Democrats would want to make sure that any replacements would caucus with them to keep the balance of the Senate intact.

Also on the groups’ list are:

• • • Representative Barbara Lee of California for secretary of state
    • Keith Ellison, the attorney general of Minnesota, for attorney general
    • Representative Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, one of the four congresswomen known as the Squad, for secretary of housing and urban development
    • Representative Pramila Jayapal of Washington, a co-chairwoman of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, for secretary of health and human services

That’s bad, very bad.  But it gets worse.

The Radical Left is telling Biden that he owes them for getting out the youth vote.  They have his old, wrinkly balls in a vice.  The Squad and their allies are going to try and muscle Biden into filling his cabinet with people they want.

From the New York Daily News:

AOC asks Twitter to help pick a ‘dream cabinet’ for President-elect Joe Biden. Here’s what she got.

“Put Ilhan Omar in charge of Homeland Security, if that has to exist,” wrote Twitter user K.C. Sinclair. “She will keep those babies safe and focus on the real threat of white supremacy.”

That user also wanted to see fellow “Squad” members Rashida Tlaib and Ayana Pressley in AOC’s hypothetical “Dream Cabinet.”

The Department of Homeland Security was created post 9/11 to put intelligence and law enforcement all under one roof so that disparate bits of information wouldn’t be overlooked again to prevent another 9/11.

It would be the zenith in Progressive actions to then make the DHS Secretary a radical Islamist and 9/11 apologist.

Sinclair recommended Tlaib (D-Mich.) to head the Department of Justice, while Pressley (D-Mass.) would handle Health and Human Services in her best-case scenario.

Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren’s name came up several times and for a handful of positions.

“Elizabeth Warren and several Elizabeth Warren clones,” comedian Ashley Nicole Black suggested to fill Biden’s cabinet.

Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, who one Twitter user wanted to see as the next Secretary of Defense. Others saw Sanders taking on an economics role.

Projections and demands put some of the most maliciously corrupt and aggressively Progressive swam monsters to ever serve in DC into the Biden Cabinet.

At the very best, it will be business as usual under the Obama Administration.  It will most likely be much worse than that.
