Hawley Accuses Dems Of Being Anti-Democracy After Trying To Throw Out Biden Votes

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) invoked the ironclad “I know you are, but what am I?” defense on Monday with a formal demand for an ethics investigation into the Democratic senators who requested an investigation into his attempt to overturn the 2020 election.

Why would a neo-medievalist even care about democracy?

He’s as attractive as he is scrupulous. Say, didja hear the one about the horse who walked into a bar? The bartender asked him, “Why the long face?”

Hawley is such a manipulating little puss moth. Estranging himself from democracy for what, exactly? The man couldn’t be a caudillo if he tried. Even with a big mustache. He’s too much the posho. I’m afraid that the lust for domination is quite wasted on this poor, inept, Ivy Leaguer. He’s more supreme court material, in my opinion, but that time has passed. He’ll just have to spend his years inveighing at the complete unfairness of a universe that denies him a ghost-written book publication.

Poor Josh! He has all Trump’s authoritarian tendencies, without Trump’s gift for connecting with the illiterates.

What does “woke” means? It’s a word Ross Douthat uses with regularity, but he never defines it. In his latest column in the NYT on the correct Catholic view of morality, society, and the presidency, he links from this word to another of his columns in which he doesn’t define the word.

Does he leave a trail of white smoke behind during his unending pilgrimage across this morally hostile and barren land where Catholics and other sinners have no power whatsoever and live in abject squalor and oppression?
