News that I missed courtesy of The Babylon Bee:
WASHINGTON, D.C. — In an attempt to elevate the level of discourse in Senate Confirmation hearings, all of the female Democratic Senators will be replaced with screaming, rabid hyenas.
After the initial Senate hearings descended into hours of hysterical, unintelligible screeching, Congress felt it owed the country to do better by replacing the offending women with crazed hyenas.
“This will be a huge improvement,” said Senate aide Chandler McKinnon. “We believe replacing these Democrat women with hyenas whose brains are being eaten by the rabies virus will greatly lessen the amount of shrieking and fighting going on. The hardest part will honestly be rounding up the women. That Gillibrand lady is a biter.”
According to the Cabinet nominees, the hyenas have thus far been a welcome change. “We have been able to get through so many more questions since we changed to hyenas,” said Attorney General nominee Pam Bondi. “The hyenas tend to only bite people nearby, and they don’t foam at the mouth nearly as much as Senator Hirono. Even with the howling, it’s so much quieter. I’m really thankful for these rabid scavengers.”

This is not a good look. I don’t think these women get that, nor do they understand that they’ve lost the popular vote, the narrative and their propaganda press.
It’s so vacuous -it’s ridiculous and sets a stereotype.
Trump should present at least one sacrificial nominee. A man, or preferably a woman, prepped with the histories if the most rabid opposition.
The nominee would not be there to actually be confirmed but to expose the nonsense of these people. In other words, not to make nice, but to scorch the interviewer and expose the process as the circus it has become.
“Well, Ted it was bad but it was no Chappaquiddick – I mean my date survived!”
“Yeah, that’s probably the stupidest question I’ve ever heard, but I’ll try to answer it anyway, remembering that your Harvard GPA was 2.1. I think you were admitted as a legacy, of memory serves.”
Reverse Bjorking.
I have mentioned previously that the election of public officials such as these says as much about the electorate as those they place in office. It should be noted that the founders were not enamored of a system that essentially allowed a mob to choose our leaders.
Mr. Link, the only notable expansions in the suffrage in the last century has been three fold: (1) breaking down the abuses and scams which kept Southern blacks away from the polls (occurring in stages, 1948-71), (2) registration-by-mail (as recently as 1959 in New York, you had to register every year in person), and (3) convenience voting schemes. The 3d confers no benefit at all and is an aid to stuffing the ballot box. The 2d has some salutary aspects but requires local boards be on their toes (which they commonly are not).

The Democratic Party has been unedifying for some time, but manifest crooks and loosely-wired harridans were pretty atypical in national politics 40 years ago. That’s a cultural shift. You want screens in the form of literacy tests, property taxes, and poll taxes? You’re forgetting that the advances of lunacy have been quite pronounced among the professional-managerial class, much less so among ordinary people.
Art Deco, I love it! “…loosely wired harridans were pretty atypical in national politics 40 years ago…” I got to remember that the next time I talk with a godless feminist.
