I’m flighty. I admit it. Often it comes across as insanity, and since I’m often angry about something, it comes across as insane rage. I feel like I always have some hint of glowing red in my eye.
Here’s a list of the things that have active sought out - most of which are currently in tabs in the browser as I write this - since the power went out on Friday night:
Darn it, I can’t stop listening to Fox News. Not because it’s compelling, but because they’re so stupid and biased that it makes me laugh out loud while I’m listening in the car.
Today’s issue seems to be the Democratic filibustering of these presidential federal justice appointees. Basically what’s going on - and if you listen to other actually real news shows instead of Fox, you might not know this or think it’s as important as Fox does - is that the Democratic minority of senators is standing on the floor discussing the merits of judges and the selected appointees, and this is holding up the vote. The thing is, the Democrats know that when the vote is called, the judges will be approved by the required majority, simply because they’re outnumbered by Republicans who want to see these people sitting on the bench. If they leave the floor, they lose the vote - there’s no way to avoid this. So they just… keep… talking.
Well, the Republicans are pissed off, and I can see why. The Democrats essentially have no chance of preventing these people from getting the four open positions on judicial courts, so the delay tactics get them nothing. I feel bad for the Democrats because they just suck so much. I should really quantify that, huh?
