Yeah, That’s Going to Work

If Biden doesn’t get dumped on schedule, he’ll be screaming for conservatives to protect him from the Leftist crazies in his party.

Also, I have a position to reach Democrats. It’s called “Make The World A Better Place. Punch A Liberal In The Face.”

Baby-murderers, sodomy-sanctifiers, race-baiters, cheaters, liars and thieves think they can reach out to conservatives in pushing their agenda of iniquity and idolatry? I defer to what T. Shaw wrote. After all, it’s what St. Nicholas, Bishop of Myra, did to the heretic Arius, and Joe Biden is certainly a heretic (or maybe apostate is a better term).

They’ve already started complaining about his intended nominees, and he isn’t even in office yet.

Create a position to reach conservatives?
Seriously?
That position would be waving.

All Democrats waving goodbye to America while aboard seven Chinese Air Force Carriers taking them all back to China where they can play their little games. That’s about the only position Conservatives are interested in taking.

Here’s a position Democrats can take. [……………]!

Biden will rue the day he accepted the offer. Nothing but misery ahead for him if he gets the job.

It is good optics, if nothing else. There is probably some common ground on the margins, but Biden going full-culture-war with his executive appointments will kneecap it pretty quickly.

Dale is right. Biden creating a position to reach out to conservatives is good optics. A majority of conservatives will reject Biden and his witch Kamala, and then the news & social media will blame conservatives for being intractable and uncooperative.

“Reaching across the aisle” is generally an exercise in forging an insider deal injurious to the public interest (but not to insiders). You have co-operation in wartime, of course, seen in the post-bellum period in 1917-18, 1941-46, 1950-67, and 2001-04. The decay in the political culture has been so rapid, I doubt the 30 month period after 9/11 would ever be replicated today. Nowadays, you wonder who among the political class hasn’t been bought with China money, Soros money, or Tech baron money. (I’m of an age to recall when Microsoft was called ‘the Borg’ and someone put out a mock advertisement showing a picture-from-space of the Earth with the slogan, “Resistance is Futile – Microsoft”. Bill Gates looks like a most benign figure compared to the successor generation).

You might in some sane world be able to craft an agreement on procedural matters. We don’t live in a sane world. We live in a world where liberals insist they’re not bound by any procedural standards at all. So, no dice there.

What it is is something for the media and shills like David Brooks and Ross Douthat to talk about; it’s emotional validation for liberals that will fool no one. If they have a practical aim, it’s to snooker some capon like Richard Burr.

We are cursed with a worse than Buchanan president at a crisis point akin to what the first Buchanan helped bring about.

Is there any indication from Buchanan’s time at the bar or in Congress or in diplomatic posts that he was a crooked dope? Or that he was senile in office?

“Reaching out to conservatives” means “explain how we are willing to support conservatives if they adopt all of our positions, rather than killing them outright.”

And yes, even that position will be controversial among the far left.
