In the old days we’d call this the pork barrel. Murkowski protects Alaska in exchange for Trump leaving her alone.Lisa Murkowski cuts a last minute deal solely to benefit Alaska, exempting it from some of the more odious parts of the bill to secure her vote and sell out the rest of the US. Yeah this stuff sucks and hurts a lot of people, but I got Alaskans exempted so the hell with you. pic.twitter.com/fCiPM66ln2

I hope Alaska enjoys its privilege and I hope Maine asks why Susan's concerns didn't get them a deal like this. Only I wouldn't bet on Alaskans getting what Murkowski claims to have gotten from them.
ReplyDeleteIf, by some miracle, and it will take one at this point, Democrats ever get control again they're going to have to go scorched earth on every means that Republican-fascists have used to get power and that includes drastically altering the Supreme Court which has been the foremost vehicle of Republican-fascist control since LBJ.
I do think that if Alaska gets a carve out, everyone else is going to want one.
