NYT's Haberman Kneecaps GOP with Nuclear Insult: 'Highlights Pelosi's Genius'
*Better Linke HERE. This is a version of a short one I wrote on Zoom this morning. This is the only time I’ve posted something from elsewhere, but it was so delicious…

The GOP won the House! Barely! It took DeSantis almost feloniously redistricting five districts in Florida and - of course, Texas with its Picasso-inspired districts (Seriously, toss out red/blue, throw in greens, yellows, and browns, name it "Serengeti" or something equally nebulous, call it a "lost Picasso," collect $50 million), using those tools and much more, the GOP crawled over the top and have their five-vote majority.
So, we're three days in. Has Jim Jordan begun the Biden impeachment hearings? Is Marjorie Taylor-Greene grilling Hunter on a witness stand? No, that would be demonstrative of competent incompetence (It's a GOP thing). They can't even get a speaker, despite the fact that 90% of the party is set on one person.
It's a bad look. How many times has a person spoken down to you with serious advice; "You're not going to fix the problem until you fix yourself." Well, the entire country is looking at the Republicans and wondering if they're capable of fixing anything because they cannot fix themselves. The Republicans look like a party whose only real specialty is the troll tweet.
And now, Haberman is on CNN with Anderson Cooper, twisting that knife even deeper. The nation is watching, and the nation never saw this happen with the Democrats and Nancy Pelosi: Transcript from Mediaite:
They are now proceeding to make Nancy Pelosi the person that Republicans reviled over the course of the last more than a decade. They’re highlighting why she was able to get stuff done and why she was effective. This is the opposite of where Republicans want to be, and Trump, you know, makes everything about himself. Yet, to your point, he’s been doing nothing. He is something of a diminished presence.
Ouch, Maggs! C'mon, prepare people for something that impactful. Comparing the poo-flinging monkeys on the Right side of the House to the uber competent and uber friendly Nancy Pelosi? All while saying that Trump is weak? (Much more below)
If something even close to this was happening within the Democratic party (It wouldn't, with Pelosi), let's say there were some renegades out there. Does anyone doubt that a phone call from President Biden or former President Obama wouldn't settle the matter?
Yes, Democrats can be quirky, and we have our Manchins and Sinemas (Or did), but they managed to get the majority leader done right at 50-50, with no holdouts, no drama, and no extortion. Come on....
But Haberman hanging out on "Moderate Voter Television" CNN and telling the audience that Pelosi and the Democrats could get their shit together and the Republicans look like morons... wow. That is the best Democratic commercial in months. "

Hey, pledge buttons on. 45% of you read every word. I set at $8 a month though most with my length go to $10-$12. And you’ll note that this one is a bit shorter and a variation on one I wrote this morning for Politizoom. I will move soon to “Ask Me Anything We Can Talk About and You Tell Me What You Think” (‘Ask Me Anything) is so self-absorbed and arrogant a title I’d never do it.
Pledges are most appreciated and needed, goal is 5-10 a week.
And we’ll get more out, some for Pledges, some general. I appreciate you all. We’ve officially grown 25% in 2 months (No, that doesn’t mean I gained 8 members, LOL). So I must say thank you.
How about a beach? We are going to the other side of the globe, the furthest beaches away,
