Weekend at Virginia’s?

Watching Trump and his minions boast and brag about their non-accomplishments is like watching a few hundred eunuchs claiming to have fathered a nation.

Sounds like an overly long porn film…

Consider the cast.

It should never have been made.

Precisely. Is there a name for that flat wooden thing one hits with the gavel? That’s what little Mikey is. The weakest, most flaccid little weenie in the history of the US Congress. If tsf farts, Mikey pushes others out of the way to be the first to breathe it in.

A sound block is sometimes used.

One of the big bombs to drop this week was the fact that the confiscated Eagle-S tanker that had been cutting cables in the Baltic appears to be completely uninsured. The Russian insurer of the vessel dropped its insurance last summer.

Beyond the hybrid warfare nuisance of undersea cable and pipeline-cutting, Russia seems to be betting on a collapse of the Protection and Indemnity (P&I)
“clubs” of insurers that cover 90% of commercial shipping globally. One of the key elements in effective sanctions was to make it difficult for Russia to move oil on properly insured tankers.

For Russia, it’s less about rust-bucket freedom than evading sanctions. For Trump, it’s about threatening global trade systems to extract concessions and tribute, an extension of the tariff schtick. While India has benefitted from fast-and-loose shipping to buy deeply discounted Russian oil and make money on sanction-circumvention, China seems to be having second thoughts as so much of its exports move by sea. Nobody expected “gross registered tonnage” to be the political phrase of 2025.

Policy, schmolicy. You keep measuring them against a yardstick they find hilarious. They don’t give a fuck about policy. The fat asshole did nothing last time but pass a billionaire giveaway that I and tens of millions more homeowners in CA, NJ, NY and elsewhere are still paying for. He then ass-fucked the response to Covid and Hurricane Maria and who even remembers? Stop expecting that anyone cares. Their voters are low information, low intelligence morons who simply wait for others to tell them what to think and how to behave. Policy? Please, that’s for eggheads.

Indeed, this election showed that policy does not matter at all. It was still used as a cudgel against Harris by the Media Whores, but that didn’t yield an electoral victory.

Just beat each other with that hammer. Is that what’s called “whipping support”?

The name “whip” comes from the fox-hunting term “whipper-in,” the person who corrals foxhounds.

(I suspect you know this, but for those who might not.)

Never went fox hunting but knew the term. And I’d never scold a pup physically.

“Grasping”?

The list of GOP legislative accomplishments is endless in the same way that zero is infinite because it has no real substance — an empty placeholder.

But no one cares that they don’t do anything. Being performative assholes who get nothing done is their brand. So why do we keep trying to hold them to a standard they think is stupid and outdated?

But it took secret back room deals to flip two holdouts. Will we the public ever know what prices they were paid?

We should soon find out if Chip Roy got what he wanted.
