    China respects the choice of the American people, but the American President and Secretary of State don't. #2020

    I was still fighting that battle with certain elements of my old newspaper at least as recently as 10 year ago. Sometimes they'd name women that way in captions. I'm not exactly Gloria Steinem, so to have white dude championing the cause that it was outdated and ridiculous should have been sign.

    DeSantis has his head so far up Trump's ass that he seriously thinks that only his followers own guns. He thinks he's making it easier for the people who voted for him to shoot the ones that didn't. For, basically, any reason. Run them over with cars, shoot 'em up.

    Biden's DOJ has to go after and break the back of these militias. This is insanity.

    Michigan Attorney General details plot to kidnap Gov. Gretchen Whitmer

    DETROIT – No one would get out of the Michigan State Capitol alive under the initial plan devised by the accused ringleader in a Michigan terrorist plot, according to the Michigan Attorney General’s Office.
    Adam Fox’s “Plan A” wasn’t just storming the building and taking hostages, as officials have already said publicly – it was to get in there and televise the execution of tyrants over the course of a week, with no one coming out alive. Or, alternatively, lock the doors and set the building on fire.

    Trump just keeps on giving. Like herpes.

    From this morning's WaPo Finance 202:


    "Judy Shelton is primed to join the Federal Reserve
    Federal Reserve leaders have asked Congress for more emergency spending to prop up a sagging economic recovery. Instead, Senate Republicans are primed to give them Judy Shelton.

    Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) moved Thursday to set up a vote next week on confirming President Trump’s controversial pick for the central bank’s board of governors.

    Shelton has drawn unanimous opposition from Senate Democrats — and, just two months ago, enough Republicans to keep her nomination from advancing — for a number of vexing views.

    She until recently advocated a return to the gold standard, arguing it would make “America’s money great again,” and backed higher interest rates, then backed off those positions in an apparent attempt to keep pace with Trump’s opinions. She has questioned the need for the Fed, and as Trump attacked it for not heeding his policy preferences, she argued for a less independent central bank.

    But with the end of Trump’s presidency now looming, Senate Republicans are setting aside their reservations. Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), one of the last potential holdouts, said Thursday she has “had an opportunity to talk to Judy Shelton, and I’m going to be supporting her.” Meanwhile, McConnell is rejecting Democratic appeals to work on another major relief package with a dwindling lame-duck window for action this year. (More on that below.)

    If the Senate GOP also confirms Christopher Waller, a St. Louis Fed economist nominated alongside Shelton who enjoys broad support, Trump will depart having installed six of the seven members of the Fed’s board (President Obama appointed Jerome Powell to the board initially, and Trump promoted him to chair). And Lael Brainard, a frontrunner to serve as President-elect Biden’s treasury secretary, would remain the lone governor appointed by a Democrat."


    So when her BS nomination goes through, six of seven will be Trump noms. Lovely.
