Let’s begin at the beginning. Save America. Kill the bill. It seemed quixotic a few months ago when I began this mantra. Well, events are moving at the speed of light. Headlines Thursday were breathtaking. I think there is now a high and rising probability that the bill — in all of its fading majesty — will be killed.
There’s an old saying by somebody somewhere — I believe it was Napoleon — that says, ‘Never interfere with an enemy while he’s in the process of destroying himself.’ Right now the Democrats are destroying themselves. They’ve moved from a circular firing squad to a public hanging, and that in my view is progress.
Here was my wakeup call this morning: “White House tells Democrats that corporate tax hike unlikely in current bill.” This from a congressional source familiar with the discussions. It was a Reuters story. Then the Wall Street Journal news story “Sinema’s opposition stymies Democrats’ planned tax rate increases.”
Then from the Washington Post: “White House considers new taxes on billionaires, stock buybacks as higher corporate rate appears to fall out of economic package.” Well, they can consider all they want but Senator Kyrsten Sinema just blew a trillion dollar hole in the budget reconciliation package. She opposes higher tax rates on corporations, individuals.and capital gains.
Wow. It doesn’t get any better than that. I’m really dying to meet her. My contacts in Washington tell me she’s standing firm, immovable. You’ve heard me say that there are two major obstacles to passing the dreaded budget bill. One, is Joe Manchin, and second is Kyrsten Sinema. Mr. Manchin opposes the spending and the Green New Deal. Sinema opposes the tax hikes. They make a wonderful Washington power couple.

Liberal Press Starts Jabber Walking as Biden Tax
(and his) Spending Plan Begins To Collapse
Great rhyme! See, those journalists aren’t completely worthless.
The term is jabber wocky. This author needs to read more.
It lives.
Bkmk
Your post “twas brilleg”. :+)
Congress has done nothing this year.
The term is jabber wocky. This author needs to read more.
And see, I figured that Lawrence Kudlow, certainly knowing about Jabba Wocky, was using a clever turn of phrase. But what do I know.
She looks a bit severe...yet interesting...
Deadly as a Bushmaster.......................
Obozo the jug eared assclown was very bad, but gropin pedo joe is the worst politician to ever happen to this country.
... more than certain that Kudlow is using a clever turn of the phrase ...
I think it is only one word. And it is a noun, so he is making an corresponding verb. It works for me.
Maybe when Biden freezes up he’s actually doing a little dance, he’s Jabber Walking.
“gropin pedo Joe is the worst politician to ever happen to this country.”
He’s not even alive. More like some digital creation from another world (“it came from outer space”).
Jabber Walking
***Excellent wordsmithing.
Jabberwocky
BY LEWIS CARROLL
’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
“Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!”
He took his vorpal sword in hand;
Long time the manxome foe he sought—
So rested he by the Tumtum tree
And stood awhile in thought.
And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!
One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.
“And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!”
He chortled in his joy.
’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

Democrats socialism sell-a-thon isn’t doing well when slackers see the price tag and know hunger will ensue.
