Bad Jared

Never mind Biden in El Paso. The real story is Polis in Colorado.
Bad Jared indeed. Tone deaf to not consult the jurisdictions where he was having migrants transported.
"What if inflation suddenly collapsed and no one noticed?" H/T WSJ
Looking at medium and long term bonds, inflation expectations are running under 2.5%.
Asylum and short-term immigration are clearly a mess. Nobody likes the current status.
We can't keep people out, can't have them stay in the border towns, can't transport them to other, non-border towns, can't leave them in Mexico, and can't return them to whence they came.
I'm sure the House and Senate will get right on finding an approach that the Executive branch can implement and the Judiciary will approve.
Meanwhile, the hospitality industry is dying for employees.
Win-win-win: Eager hands willing to work. Restaurants return to full staffing. Immigrants start down the path to prosperity (like my ancestors before me).
Economy improves, Gross National Product goes up, and the federal budget receives more tax revenue.
Unfortunately no one gets a political win with that solution…
True mind of a Democrat, “We can’t”……..It’s what you all believe.
Thank you for that assessment from a member of the party that can't govern.
Media trivia question of the day – what movie had 31 international stars doing cameos in it? 30 of them in a single scene.
The Lighthouse?
I take it the entire movie had only 2 or 3 characters? Didn't see it by Sleuth was like that – basically 2 characters. And brilliant.
Pretty much. Great movie. As you can guess I have no idea what the real answer is…
Incredibly Bad NYT Journalism. Marcy Wheeler at EmptyWheel
Any project management stuff I've read says to make work items about 1 thing and give folks time to read the work items so I'm kinda excited for 2 of these House rules that Boebert says she worked towards during the House speaker voting: https://coloradosun.com/2023/01/10/congress-house-boebert-rules-mccarthy-opinion/
Yes, I am publicly saying I like something that Boebert wrote. Yes, that is weird for me too.
I agree – on both points.
We will see. I think there is some amount of irony in the report of a "secret 3-page" addendum to the Rules, unmentioned by Boebert.
On the key process from the House: Budget appropriation process has not been a success for the past 25 years or so,
Would anyone care to make a wager on whether the McCarthy-led House will be able to meet ANY of the terms of the law? After all, Rep. Boebert is certain the House will be
Ineitha Lynnette Hardawa has died of COVID.
You might know her as "Diamond" of "Diamond & Silk", the MAGA duo who campaigned tirelessly for Donald Trump and against COVID vaccinations.

Democrat war on women.
Let's make it a war on stupid. The upside is she may make the list…

No confirmation yet on COVID as a cause of death. I certainly won't miss the wingnut assholery of Petrified Horse Turd and Burlap, but 51 is way too goddamn young.
