The Art of the Deal 0

My old Philly DL friend Noz has a few thoughts about Trump’s deal with the Saudis. A snippet (emphasis added):

How did our deal-making president reach an agreement after Biden couldn’t? He dropped all the conditions that Biden insisted upon and gave the Saudis everything they wanted without much in return. No inspection regime (in fact, the deal seems to be crafted to prevent UN inspections from happening) and no recognition of Israel. Art of the deal!

His entire article is worth your while.

Gutting Out the Vote 0

Farron discusses how the Trump maladministration’s efforts to dictate how states run elections are blatantly unconstitutional.

But, of course, the Trump maladministration doesn’t care about the Constitution or the rule of law.

It cares about money and monacrhy.

Stray Thought 0

Republicans keep complaining about “election integrity.”

Even though today’s Republican Party does not know the meaning of “integrity.” (Look it up.)

Heck, if they met integrity on the street, they would probably call 911 in a panic.
