Yikes: The GOP Race For House Speaker Just Hit Peak Stupid

When are people finally going to realize that GOP Peak Stupid is just a hoax?

The supply is UNLIMITED!

rahmstorf, to climate German

We do understand the caused by fossil fuels - for four decades it’s been going as predicted.
But we don’t understand the surprise upward leap that is happening now.
And that worries me.

jobsboils,

@rahmstorf Brings to mind a phrase used by my old armchair Marxist buddies: "Qualitative change; quantitative leap."

Except this time it's for real.

Excellent work. Dems take actual action, while Repubs just whine, complain, and cry to their deranged voters and can’t even find a Speaker for their teeny majority.

And still Biden can't get one nice thing said about him outside of maybe one or two MSNBC hosts and at least a couple of complete dorks show up in my mentions a day to complain about Democrats.

    The University of Pennsylvania is acting proud of Katalin Karikó now that she's won a Nobel. But they kicked her out of her research assistant professor job when she insisted on doing the work that won her that prize:

    "She recalls spending one Christmas and New Year’s Eve conducting experiments and writing grant applications. But many other scientists were turning away from the field, and her bosses at UPenn felt mRNA had shown itself to be impractical and she was wasting her time. They issued an ultimatum: if she wanted to continue working with mRNA she would lose her prestigious faculty position, and face a substantial pay cut.

    ”It was particularly horrible as that same week, I had just been diagnosed with cancer,” said Karikó. “I was facing two operations, and my husband, who had gone back to Hungary to pick up his green card, had got stranded there because of some visa issue, meaning he couldn’t come back for six months. I was really struggling, and then they told me this."

    "While undergoing surgery, Karikó assessed her options. She decided to stay, accept the humiliation of being demoted, and continue to doggedly pursue the problem. This led to a chance meeting which would both change the course of her career, and that of science."

    Elsewhere she recalled:

    “I thought of going somewhere else, or doing something else. I also thought maybe I’m not good enough, not smart enough."

    She's now an adjunct in UPenn's neurosurgery department. Will they fast-track her for tenure now that she has a Nobel, or just live with the shame?

    Both quotes here come from interesting stories. The first is from here:

    The press has succumbed to what I call "the banality of crazy," in which they breathlessly report every minor Biden gaffe, but barely cover Trump calling to execute generals or shoplifters. This numbing effect helps Trump--and warps American politics. My latest: https://www.forkingpaths.co/p/the-case-for-amplifying-trumps-insanity

    jobsboils,

    @brianklaas Given the current state of the U.S. electorate, I'm not sure "amplifying crazy" is such a good idea.

    A large block is in favor of insanity, and another large block is far more concerned about the price of gas.

    “it…is self-defeating and unnecessary to argue that we want the government to override the market. The issue is not whether the government will override the market, the issue is how the government will structure the market. The right wants to structure the market so all the money goes to its billionaire backers. Progressives want to structure the market so that the benefits of growth are broadly shared.” @DeanBaker13 https://cepr.net/team-billionaire-is-winning-they-have-us-cursing-at-markets/ ht @MikeBon

    "I haven't seen a convincing argument why politicians don't do more to restructure markets."

    Money -- especially massive quantities of hegemonic political money spent by oligarchs -- can be a pretty damned convincing argument.

    TRUMP TOAST!

    Trump ordered to dissolve his NY business and real estate holdings.

    A receivership will be set up to oversee the dissolution of Trump's NY holdings!

    The Trump civil trial will start as planned on October 2nd to cover OTHER issues.

    Judge Engoron also ordered the cancellation of business certificates for the Trump Organization and other corporate defendants, and ordered the appointment of a receiver to manage their dissolution.

    Even Nader is shocked into supporting Biden, by the prospect of fascism if he doesn't:

    Ralph Nader, wary of Trump, offers to help Joe Biden win

    The political firebrand, long estranged from Democrats, fears fascism will be on the ballot in 2024 and it must be defeated.

    @johnshirley2024 So Ralph finally figured that out, eh?
