Between changing voting law to favor Blue. Stacking the courts. Adding states. Removing fillibuster. Using corporations for extra-constitutional policy. I’d say that they’re going for the permanent regime change…a once in a lifetime opportunity for The War Party. With a tyranny of a (small) majority in place, what is the most likely set of responses? At one time there was a rough equilibrium, but I’d say that Big Tech has thrown that in the crapper.

“Guy Chapman, a Wikipedia administrator with special site privileges, was criticized late last year for banning an Antifa opponent from editing the far-left group’s page. Editors cited Chapman’s pro-Antifa stance as conflicting with policies against administrators using privileges when involved in disputes. Chapman subsequently resigned citing unrelated stress over disputes about the 2020 election results. This month in posts about pro-Donald Trump protestors storming the Capitol over election fraud allegations, Chapman claimed Breitbart News’ coverage of Wikipedia has undermined faith in the online encyclopedia.”

“‘Here’s The Full List Of Every Lie Joe Biden Has Told As President‘”
Hopefully they stick to real whoppers and not the “he said $100B while the real number is $80B” variety which was the meat ‘n potatoes of the last lie list.
My guess is that President Cabbage will utter very little that isn’t approved by one of the warring tribes who are pulling the strings. Whether it’s a lie or not is on the people running the country, not the new ‘Commander in Chief’. Going forward, the thing to do is to Kremlin watch and see who is physically near, that’s bound to be up in the air at first but will settle down. Harris and her people are bound to be one of the tribes, so her public speaking duties will be a good indicator.

There’s obviously something of a ratchet here and I fully expect COVID to produce another one. A short term emergency results in a long term increase in the scope and burden of government.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government_spending_in_the_United_States#/media/File:Government_Revenue_and_spending_GDP.png
Something odd happened in the 20th C. after thousands of years of government in roughly the 5% of GDP range. In the name of ‘fairness’ the ruling classes have found a way to corral off a much larger piece of the pie than they ever did under previous systems. It’s funny to think that Ancient Rome had a much better GINI score than the modern US. I can’t say that people have become less or more moral, it’s just that the levers of control are so much better.

The Proggy Press is upset! Joe Emery hasn’t screwed America fast enough.
“The only unity the liberal media were interested in was their way or the highway. The unity between ABC and NBC was obvious Sunday morning, as each broadcast network showed that they were already getting fed up with the days-old Biden administration for continuing to preach unity and healing despite Republican pushback on policy. While NBC’s opposition was the strongest, ABC didn’t get the answer they wanted from a commentator.
After some banter about the new studio and set for NBC’s Meet The Press, Sunday Today host Willie Geist questioned political director Chuck Todd about Biden’s instance on sticking with his campaign message of unity.
“Joe Biden hoping to get through the $1.9 trillion package, already meeting resistance from Republicans on the Senate on many aspects of it and also pushback on other proposals,” Geist said. “Now that we are into it, now that we got the nitty-gritty in front of us, can Joe Biden begin to get his agenda through, or is he going to meet that resistance all the way?””

Washington Teachers Union President: Returning To In-Person Instruction Is ‘White Privilege’
“The head of a Washington state teachers union claimed, last week, that re-opening schools for in-person learning is not only an example of “white supremacy,” but that concerns over students’ mental health are a form of “white privilege.”
Echoing comments made by the Chicago Teachers Union months ago — that re-opening schools for in-person instruction is both “racist” and “sexist” — the president of the Pasco Association of Educators (PAE). Scott Wilson, “made a series of unhinged, controversial remarks during a Pasco School Board meeting,” according to reporter Jason Rantz“

‘WHO probe into COVID origins taps scientist who funneled NIH grants to suspect Wuhan lab
Funds came from federal government, through science nonprofit, to Wuhan virology lab suspected of involvement in the initial outbreak of COVID-19.‘
“A scientist helping lead the World Health Organization’s investigation into the origins of the COVID-19 virus himself helped channel federal funding grants to the Wuhan Institute of Virology in 2019, the year prior to the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic.
Peter Daszak, a British infectious disease expert, is among the ten scientists leading the WHO’s global study on the origins of SARS-Cov-2. Daszak is also the president of New York-based EcoHealth Alliance, an organization which bills itself as “a global environmental health nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting wildlife and public health from the emergence of disease.”
