Paging Alan Dershowitz

The Strib hails the…uh, “diversity” of the incoming class at the MN Legislature.

As Alan Dershowitz said, the Strib’s and DFL’s (pardon the redundancy) idea of “diversity” is…

…someone in with different color skin, or in a skirt, who thinks exactly the same as you.

I’m not sure if the Strib noted the fact that the House MInority leader and several other incoming GOP freshmen in both chambers are “Republicans of Color” – but I suspect most echo the words of former Representative and now Senator Eric Lucero:

As a Hispanic minority myself married to an Indian minority, I categorically reject the Democrat definition diversity equals skin color. I firmly hold to the truth content of character over color of skin and true diversity equals diversity of thought and ideas.

Which is a message today’s Left actively disparages.

UMMP, that was an interesting story, about a family of hustler’s and shyster’s. I was surprised that the New Yorker published it, but then realized that the real story must be much worse.

It’s a controlled narrative.

four-flushers and social climbers would be my description, Blade, not that there is anything wrong with that. The Biden family story would be almost Fitzgeraldesque if it wasn’t about shabby people trying to corner the market on the asphalt & pitch business in New Jersey.
I think it is revealing that, as highly motivated Joe Biden & his father were to achieve the trappings of success, the best law school that would take Slow Joe was a small, third tier law school & he graduated in the bottom 10% of his class.
But by God, Joe Biden got his own son into Harvard Law — I think that is the source of Slow Joe’s boast that Hunter is the smartest guy that he knows.

shabby people trying to corner the market on the asphalt & pitch business in New Jersey

Interesting. I remember watching a documentary about pikies (gypsies) in the UK – the very personification of “shabby people” – who when they weren’t involved in (semi-)criminal activities were in the asphalt & pitch business. My understanding is that there’s a lot of pikies out New Jersey way.

One of the distinct branches of pikies in the UK are termed “irish travelers”. Doesn’t Biden claim to be of Irish ancestry?

The family Biden’s father & grandfather were in business with were the Sheens or Shehens. Lots of drunkenness, gambling, and bid-rigging of government jobs. The families did not part on happy terms. Joe Biden’s father pissed someone off & he was frozen out of the business, ended up selling used cars.

The co-opting of the term ‘conservative’ by shameless liars, election deniers and out and out lunatics is unbelievable. They are not conservative and have no interest in public service. Good luck McCarthy—you’ll need it.

I’m afraid that the out and out lunatics who are so detached from reality that they believe that men can become pregnant all vote Democrat, Emery.
Thanks for playing, try again after a 24 hour time out!

Santos didn’t come up with the character he played alone. And he certainly didn’t come up with the $700,000 put into his campaign that he claimed was his own money. The unanswered question is who bankrolled and scripted him.

I’m not interested on how much contempt vs. pity to feel for Santos. I am most concerned that he used these lies to get elected to the United States House of Representatives, and so far appears to be able to enjoy the powers and benefits of that elected position.

No one asked you to vote for Santos, Emery.
Time for a little truth:
Both D’s and R’s have sketchy house reps. Idiots who believe that we have landed men on Mars, crooks who committed immigration fraud, etc.
What is happening here is that the GOP has a razor thin margin in the house of 10 seats. The Dems are hoping to raise a stink and have the house refuse to seat Santos (even tho he was elected — where is the dems devotion to “our democracy”?). As the GOP margin narrows, the effect is non-linear. Dropping from a ten seat lead to a nine seat lead has a much larger political effect than dropping from a thirty seat lead to a twenty-nine seat lead.
So this is just politics. If it was actually a matter of integrity, of adherence to principle, the dems would eject Ilhan Omar for committing immigration fraud.
Now, I would be against this, because I believe in democracy. Omar’s constituents know what she has done, they want her to represent them, it’s not unconstitutional for her to hold office, so have at it, Ilhan!
Ditto all those house reps, on both sides of the aisle, who have skated a fine line with nepotism and campaign finance fraud.

Woolly mumbled something earlier about the Jan6 committee dropping their Trump subpoena.

It’s OK, DOJ knows where to find him.

Emery counting his losses as wins — again.
You know, it is clear to anyone not named “Emery” why Emery is so bad at his predictions and analysis of any kind. He starts out with assuming that what he wants to happen will happen, and then makes up whatever “facts” he needs to get him to his fantasy conclusion.
It blinds E to what most normal people think — that releasing Trump’s taxes was not a legitimate work of congress, it was spite, and that it set the dangerous precedent of having the party that controls congress declare open war on the most important candidate of the opposing party.
And of course it all hypocrisy from the people who claimed for years that Trump was wicked solely because he ignored “constitutional norms.”
