going back to early or mid december
or whenever it was the WH resonded
to the peoples’ voice as spoken thru the ballot booths

“let them eat surge ”
my take hasn;t change

the cheney machine dropped about three called balls on that one stroke

a ..the army marines sold its extra pairs of boots shit

b… the administration could appear to have responded
with strength and on going conviction
while actually just stalling

c …the core humanist empire dems
by opposing this reckless and futile surge
make
the status quo ante
look like a victory

very much the same form of two party insider dance
that gave us the SSI crisis
and will nanny state us into
FISCAL CRAB TREE
over the budget gap

these are some well oiled bipartisan mechanisms here

getting a work out

and its a real nice test run
for a few key new “moving parts”
like la nan francisco
yes the jack asses just bought themselves

“a piece of the occ”

precedents???

compare to nixon after 70 election ???

no not closely enough

in fact like most total ensemble moments

this is unique in all important respects

—-Cleo tends to run
Her
on- going epic drama that way ——

what we can learn from history is instructive
but sorry mildred
there are no interchangeable episodes

——————–

i hope in retro spect
this vicously farcical scene

this house vote

that puts a rubber barrier on the occs duration
will be recalled
as a moment when all us progs “got it ”

and
a big new beginning commenced
for the left in amerika

the donk circus train needs to split in half
at the next possible switch point

bruce as usual you take a long view

the back stabber
in the french beret
and slutty flower child nudity

lefty winger

icon of the reactivation brigade

well never fear

either we club them senseless or they club us senseless
either way
the loser won't care anymore

or at least that's got to be how far you play this string out

i've written here
a few times my theory of agit prop

kick em in the balls
and see what happens

unfortunately
that's not the pwogie way

"The beauty of withholding funding
is that it can be done
by a simple majority
in one House"

righto

this way
the dem orthrian core way
the party can say

"now we too
own a piece of the occ "

ch's way they don't

nan could have held fast to her left flank
and let trhe repugs cobble together an aisle double cross majority

made up of nothing but red goats and blue dogs

why didn't they ????
cause the present party leadership
is every bit
a part of the problem of empire
not the solution to it
