The EU

Google says the EU requires a notice of cookie use (by Google) and says they have posted a notice. I don't see it. If cookies bother you, go elsewhere. If the EU bothers you, emigrate. If you live outside the EU, don't go there.

Comity Retreating


For John, BLUFCivility seems to have been overtaken by defensiveness within the Beltway of our Nation's Capitol.  This will not be helpful as the year progresses.  Heck, even Senator Bernie Sanders has broken down and started picking on our Senior Senator here in Mass, Ms E Warren.  Nothing to see here; just move along.




From PJ Media, by Comkmentator Stephen Kruiser, 13 January 2020.

Here is the lede plus plus:

If this was supposed to be damage control by Nancy Pelosi after she was forced to give up her impeachment stunt and cave to Mitch McConnell, it wasn't very smooth.  Madame Speaker joined George Stephanopoulos on ABC's This Week on Sunday and did the worst thing she can do these days: speak her mind. The Washington Examiner:
Pelosi, 79, then pivoted to McConnell, saying he has "resisted sources" that suggest Russian meddling in American elections.

"Sometimes I wonder about Mitch McConnell too," remarked Pelosi.  "What's he — why is he an accomplice to all of that?  He has resisted sources going in a manner commensurate with the threat for state agencies, whichever they are in a state, could be the secretary of state or whatever, to protect our infrastructure, our critical infrastructure of elections."

Earlier in the interview, Pelosi claimed McConnell, 78, was participating in a "cover-up" after the Kentucky Republican signed onto a measure to dismiss Trump's impeachment trial without witness presentations if Pelosi doesn't send the two articles of abuse and obstruction to the Senate within 25 days.

I am sure Speaker Pelosi didn't mean to imply that the Senate Majority Leader was in cahoots with the Russians.  It was just awkward formation of her sentences.

But, she is very unhappy.

Notwithstanding, this formulation is very unhelpful to the dialogue within our nation's capitol.

Hat tip to the InstaPundit.
