One Nation, Divisible 0

Greg Kesich examines how Russian interests promote American divisiveness. A snippet:

Division is good for Russia, it’s good for Trump and it’s good for the Republican Party, which has a hold on power that exceeds the number of people who vote for their candidates. Regardless of how Republican office holders personally feel about Trump, they certainly don’t want to spend the next year getting to the bottom of the election that put them in charge of everything, and give their real enemies – the Democrats – a political advantage.

Gordon Weil outs the Republican Senators’ misdirection play on the “Green New Deal” and the press’s deplorable failure as competent drama critics. After pointing out the the “Green New Deal” was merely a statement of goals, not a serious legislative proposal, he explains the Republicans’ misdirection.

A snippet:

McConnell himself proposed the Green New Deal bill in the Senate. Republicans staged a symbolic floor debate to exaggerate and lampoon it. The GOP leader had made sure that there would be no committee hearings on the bill and no possibility for other senators to amend it.

He then scheduled his bill for what has been called a “bluff vote.” Though the Republicans had proposed the bill, they really opposed it and would seek to kill it. That was their bluff. They apparently hoped that some Democrats, to please the party’s most liberal wing, would err and vote for the proposal, causing an internal party split.
