Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

Terminal Senate Brain

 Chuck Schumer's decision not to force Robert Menendez out of the Senate is more than lamentable, it's strategic malpractice. New Jersey has a Democratic governor and Menendez's replacement will be a Democrat. While Schumer is correct that Menendez deserves a fair trial, he does not "deserve" a Senate seat. That belongs to the people of New Jersey. 

The defining issue of the 2024 election (aside from abortion) is the manifest corruption and un-fitness for office of Donald Trump. Allowing a hopelessly corrupt person who's barely a replacement level Senator and might be a traitor to hang around is a great example of terminal Senate brain. 

It's not an Old Boy's Club. Get rid of him.
