NYT:

"Senator Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona said on Tuesday that she would not seek re-election, ending more than a year of speculation about her political future and clearing the race for a traditional matchup between the eventual Democratic and Republican nominees.

“Because I choose civility, understanding, listening, working together to get stuff done, I will leave the Senate at the end of this year,” she said in a video announcement." https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/05/us/politics/kyrsten-sinema-arizona-senate.html?campaign_id=190&emc=edit_ufn_20240305&instance_id=116806&nl=from-the-times&regi_id=87935768&segment_id=159914&te=1&user_id=48117dafd8d7dec50fd158c20f07fc9f

The "liberal-turned-conservative" speechifying circuit will be so much more lucrative.

Well, there you go, stupid idiot Reek asks a question about 2024 that Karine has said she'll never comment on. Furthermore, jackass, the President and Vice-President don't like you and won't talk to you because your a fascist pig.

And he smells funny. That's why he's always by himself in the press room. Allegedly.

How in the hell Karine doesn't deck Douche-nozzle never ceases to amaze me.

OMFG they're gonna do '16 over again! We're facing the existential threat of fascist tyrrany: Nazi Germany in styrofoam and particle board--but the concentration camps, goon squads and pregnancy police will be all too real. And DNC drones are meeping and prattling away about 'inFrAstrcTure' and 'TaX cRediTs!'

Any minute they're gonna Lysol wipe the mold off of 'Stronger Together' and drag it out of the fucking basement.

OT: Just read over at DKos that NYTimes finally took their cletus safari to some Biden voters and treated them like strange oddities adrift in the world. Well, maybe not that bad but it's definitely not intended to promote Biden supporters.

Apparently the photographer assigned to the story suggested at least one of the interviewees. Which is fine, I guess, but also lazy.

off topic and Very Nice Thing!

a Grey Whale was sighted off Nantucket today, and that species had been hunted out of the Atlantic Ocean by the late 18th C.

This quite literally brings tears of joy to my eyes.

Those magnificent creatures have every reason to despise the sight of any of us.

Oh, for sure. Stay clear of the New Bedford docks, mate. Those whales have LONG memories.

The two year long adderall/amphetamine salts/Vyvanse/whatever shortage is still ongoing with some pretty serious professional and academic consequences for people and children who can't get their supply (present company included). This is almost certainly not going to be asked about by these chuckleheaded morons because they have Biden's age to yammer about.

The Orange Menace's WH done gobbled them all up!

That's why the WH press corp isn't asking about it.

I have a bottle of Adderall from a couple of years ago that I wish I could give to one of you Wonkers who needs it. (I tried one capsule and then we parted ways.)

"Widespread outages hitting Facebook, Instagram and Threads Tuesday blocked users from logging into their accounts — and caused a flood of conspiracy theories that Meta was being used to weaken Donald Trump on Super Tuesday.

I don't watch these anymore. As fun as it is to see Doocy get kicked in the nutz, it does get tired.

I don't watch that shit either. It's just too fucking exasperating watching all of those drooling imbeciles and listening to their stupid horseshit questions.

It pisses me off that when you have such talents as KJP or Psaki up there to give intelligent answers for our benefit, the gorram White House press core instead turns it into a crapfest for the lowest common denominator.

Unlike under trump where they were sniveling cowards trying to keep access to the King and his jesters/press secretaries.

There is nothing Ms Jean-Pierre can't wear. And she looks a bit exasperated today.

And the cameras are on! The vile sack of rotten protoplasm that is Reek is in attendance.

How many chairs in the press room have to be replaced because of Reek's oozing all over them?

OK, here's the thing. The incompetent toddlers of the Press Corpse are going to ask Karine political questions that she has repeatedly told them to take to the campaign HQ, not her.

Who are these people? How did we get here?
