Note the reference to our famous Yeats poem:
“And what rough beast, its hour come round at last, Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?”

Biden’s treatment of Bork was infamous, for those in the know. He basically smeared him, then when the cameras were off approached Bork to say something like “Hey, nothing personal. It’s just politics.”
Biden proved his very low character in that incident, which I’ve never forgotten.
A man of low intellect, with a willingness to do whatever the party asks. Reminds me of Stalin.

It’s always the “other people” and their collaborators that are at fault, you see. Never one’s own.

The closest parallel that comes to mind is WWII’s Vichy French. There’s a reason why collaborators are despised and slain out of hand.

Article II, Section 2, Clause 2

“The President shall nominate, and, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments.”

That Department, and that Cabinet position, as well as most of the executive branch apparatus, are entirely creations of Congress, established by law (and so are all federal courts inferior to the Supreme Court). Congress could eliminate the DoJ and any other department, and any court in the land other than the Supreme Court, tomorrow if it chose to. So it’s really the job of the Senate to decide who is the AG. Not the President.

Once again, the mindless moderate abdicates his responsibility.

This is one of the reasons we’re in this position. I’m convinced moderates like Jeb Bush are in on the great swindle that’s destroying the country.

I’m a bit stunned that Jeb doesn’t see or is ignorant of just how harmful to the nation that the positions he advocates are but I have to give him credit for honesty. Unlike Rubio and Christie, he doesn’t say one thing and do another.

The Bushes believe their sh*t. On a personal level, I am confident they are fine, especially W, but they are too deluded to serve elected office.

Off-topic: Is it only me, or does Loretta look to anyone else like the good female simian character in “Planet of the Apes”?

Wimps can actually be just as conservative as the base, they just have no courage. They might agree with the Tea Party on policy, they’re just afraid of the media, Democrats, harebrained Todd Akin comments making them look bad, losing elections, etc. Therefore, always take it slow and steady, never take a risk. Their disagreement with the base is largely rhetorical.

The Enemy actually likes things pretty much just as they are and substantively disagree over policy with the base. Trim the deficit a hair here and there, give their business cronies tax cuts (but never simplify the code), keep all the power in Washington but run it more efficiently.

Both need to be replaced, but when in office need to be handled differently. Wimps need to be taught to grow a testicle, The Enemy just needs to be crushed.

(And if a Wimp actually grows one and finds he likes using it, maybe we can keep him around.)

“So you fought for something you believe in, and although I disagree, I’m not going to hold that against you. So, I’d like my friends on the other side of the aisle to recognize that we can work together despite our differences and not hold it against us when we have a nominee who disagrees with them on something.”

My jaw dropped.

Republicans reject appeasement in the international sphere but somehow assume that playing nicey-nice will get them somewhere with their enemies at home. A bit of consistency would help a ton.

I feeeel better now!
