Another sunny and chilly day. Nothing much going on here. Welcome to half past February and Happy Valentine's Day.
Well, the do-nothing congress continues its pattern. They managed to pass articles of impeachment against Alejandro Mayorkas on BS "charges." I put that in quotes because the word "charges" implies that it fits the "high crimes and misdemeanors" specified in the Constitution. Somehow the definition has shifted to mean "you do what we want or we impeach you." So the Republican tail (one half of one branch of government) tries to wag the dog (the other half of the House and the White House and Senate) of our Federal Government. Oh, and they are trying to minimize the loss of that NY seat George Santos (or what ever his name really is) once so embarrassingly occupied. The Democrat candidate beat their candidate on the immigration issue, the economy, and abortion with the first two dominating the electorate's concerns.
Bill Astore posted a good piece on Israel-Hamas conflict: you can have war without genocide, genocide without war, and both together. In the current conflict we have the third--war with genocide. We have an intractable problem that may actually, at this moment, be a predicament. A problem has a solution however unpalatable; a predicament doesn't. According to the news just now the talks in Cairo have broken down....again.
