This is the mature fruit of the Passiflora quadrangularis erotica vine.” Sep 25, 08:38While it’s true that all attempts at macroeconomic theory are essentially voodoo, it takes on a whole different and more depraved tenor when Congress gets involves. And the Fed? The Gods alone know what arcane rituals they utilize, but I’d not be surprised if those rituals made them the #1 buyer of Planned Parenthood’s products. 🙄

Forget all the Third World shitholes; forget all the domestic shitholes like Detroit and Chicago; the worst shithole in the world today is in DC. It’s the Democrats’ Congress. And, like all shitholes, it needs to be soaked in diesel, burned clean, and purified with quicklime.
The US Senate has confirms Amy Coney Barrett’s nomination to the SCOTUS. They did so in record time and, unsurprisingly in the extreme, without a single Democrat vote. This secures the safety and efficacy of the Supreme Court for decades to come.
To me, the most interesting and important part of this is that Barrett’s confirmation as a SCOTUS Justice is a critical event but is not truly news. Her confirmation and the timeliness of it were never in doubt. Nor was the total opposition to both by the Democrats, who were, are, and will continue to be seething over not being able to “Bork” her nomination.
Barrett’s confirmation is important to America’s future but that it happened and happened now is just another case of Republicans playing by the Democrats’ “rules” and beating them at their own game. It’s just another day in the death spiral of Congressional politics.

While it seems unlikely that the House Democrats will drag out their over-used and worthless impeachment proceedings against President Trump for doing his duty and nominating a replacement for the late and unlamented – by Americans at least – the damage has already been done. Pelosi and her ilk have, with their hate– and madness-fueled obsession with impeaching our President, have already done incalculable harm to our democracy.
But, rather than waxing vitriolic, I’ll just quote from The Portly Politico, who stated the problem as well or better than I would have.
The Democrats already cheapened impeachment with their bogus “Ukraine collusion†story. Technically, yes, the House can impeach a president at any time if they have the votes to do so. The prudence and dispassion of a prior age would normally have prevented such a drastic measure except in the most dire of constitutional circumstances—in other words, if the president actually abused his authority and the constitutional limits placed upon it.
Now, however, the Democrats have cheapened the impeachment process to such an extent that it’s nearly the equivalent of voting to name a federal post office after some uncontroversial small town hero or legendary civil rights figure: it’s just another day at the office.
If Speaker Pelosi and her ilk push through an impeachment against President Trump for fulfilling his constitutional duty and power to appoint a justice to the Supreme Court, the very act of impeachment will have lost all meaning. If President Trump were wantonly selling the Supreme Court seat to the highest bidder, then, by all means — impeach away! But he clearly isn’t.

“Imcheapment“
Truly though, go to the Portly Politico and read his whole article. It’s more than worth what time and effort doing so will cost.

The one image and caption which most aptly sums up Barr’s hearing before the Democrat-controlled the House Judiciary Committee. ↑ And yes, the Dems behave that poorly – so poorly that even CNN called them out on it.
