The Lincoln Project – “Zero Sum Game”

[The Cloud Converter seems to get more popular every day… but the line moves fast enough.]
While you are sleeping Republicans across the country are attempting to turn Trump’s mega nastiness into the law. Bills that would dramatically impact access to your constitutional rights to a ballot, laws that would restrict vote by mail, even make giving water to those waiting in line to vote illegal. Why? Why would Republicans make this the spine of their party? They said it in front of the Supreme Court of the United States. The only way they can combat the Democrats’ Voting advantage is to play dirty. Politics is a zero sum game. Because that’s what this is to them – a game. While you work, while you pray, while you’re fighting for your families, the fight for democracy goes on.

Justice Matters – Democracy Matters – Can’t hurt.

Why Do We Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day? | National Geographic – My theory is that “we” – now meaning people all overt he world, although it was in the U.S. that it really got big – celebrate it because it always falls in Lent, and, being a celebration, exempts one from fasting for that day. The same is true of Saint Joseph (March 19), though that didn’t take off as much, probably because he wasn’t associated with a group that shines at PR.)

This seems to me like going to ridiculous extremes to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. Who knew walruses cared?

The ultimate telemarketer prank. Good thing the script is all on screen. The announcers are laughing so hard it’s a challenge to hear.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOMCAT!

Here’s something nice: Senator Martin Heimrich (D-NM) speaking in favor of the nomination of Representative Deb Haaland (D-NM) to head the Interior Department.

Congresswoman Haaland has lived experience–as a single mother, as a small business owner, and as a Tribal administrator–that will serve her well and bring real representation to President Biden’s Cabinet. As many have noted, Congresswoman Haaland will also make history as the first-ever Native American Cabinet secretary, something that frankly should have happened a long, long time ago. Deb is uniquely qualified to restore the Department of Interior’s nation-to-nation relationship to Tribal Nations and to help Indian Country recover and rebuild from COVID-19.

This was Thursday. Under 7 minutes and – professional – and personal.

Also Thursday. To quote “Mineral Man at Democratic Underground, “This Is How a Real President Signs a Bill. Maybe the most important one so far. No crowd of grinning assholes behind you. No holding up something to show your illegible signature. You say a few words, sign the bill, and go back to work.”

All the REAL former presidents make a PSA for vaccines.
