"Pols like Joe Biden and their hangers-on — like Archer, his son Hunter’s partner in slime — don’t like to think of their “brand” as extortion. They’re more in the mold of Don Corleone’s equally ruthless but more progressive son, Michael, who swore that any year now the family business would become “completely legitimate.” In such “completely legitimate” businesses, the muscle to do extortion is the family’s “brand.” The brand’s stock-in-trade is “influence,” an aura of intimidation to which beleaguered businesses — including foreign “partners” connected to corrupt and anti-American regimes — buy “access.” That’s what they expect will protect them from the metastasizing peril of, yes, “regulation.”"

So McCarthy thinks he’s going to buff up his bona fides by writing an easy hit piece on the turnip and his “brand”. Go back to your never Trump buddies at NR Andi. Once a putz always a putz.

...if you’re not at the table then you’re on the menu,This is the most crystal clear explanation of what US politics is all about these days. Every politician, from city council level all the way up to President of the US wants to be at the table, not on the menu.

When Democratic Presidents appoint judges, you don’t actually believe they wil be impartial about their decisions like John Roberts said:”Roberts responded to the president in a statement, writing that the United States does not have “Obama judges or Trump judges, Bush judges or Clinton judges. What we have is an extraordinary group of dedicated judges doing their level best to do equal right to those appearing before them. That independent judiciary is something we should all be thankful for.”
