Cowboy Poets Society

Apologies for being a tad late today, but thankfully the whole gang is back in action! Today we’ve got Susan Ferrechio, chief congressional correspondent for the Washington Examiner. She takes on all comers: from Democrats playing election projection, to the bored and tired people in charge, to talk of a (collective gasp!) Clinton comeback. Susan has thoughts on all of it. Follow her on Twitter @susanferrechio.

The fellas also chat about Biden’s utterly indecent speech in Georgia; also the tragic passing of Terry Teachout and they ponder a viral thread on the worst drives in America.

Stuck on a boring roadtrip this weekend? Be sure to pass the time with us!

Music from this week’s podcast: Baby, I Love You by The Ronettes

    Eugene Kriegsmann: When Obama placed Sotomayor on the court it was the act of a complete cynic who was completely uninterested in the Constitution of which he claimed to be a scholar.

    Merrick Garland is no gem, either. Thank God we dodged that bullet.

    What the freak show.

    At the 17:30 mark, Rob goes off on a very good rant on Justice Sotomayor, but then steps on the rake and it hits him in the face at 18:20.

    Here is what @ roblong said (not in full, but these are his words):

    “She said something so phenomenally stupid, something so dumb, that she should recuse herself for her stupidity. She’s as dumb as people going to drink Ivermectin from the veterinary supply store.”

    Wow. Thanks Rob. You have given us some incredible analysis on Ivermectin. Made even more credible coming from one who had Covid and then took the experimental jabs. That plan of action makes no sense to me – in fact I find it phenomenally stupid and dumb,

    I’m a rancher in East Texas and am one of those phenomenally stupid and dumb ones who takes Ivermectin as prophylaxis.

    And finally, I find your insult phenomenally stupid and dumb.

     

    Mr. Long’s lack of knowledge regarding Ivermectin’s success in combatting covid is pretty embarrassing.     He needs to expand his circle of friends and his reading source material.

    Yes George W. Bush hit a 25% approval rating after TARP passed. I sure felt betrayed when he signed it.  However, he also had like a 90% after 9/11. So he has had both the lowest and the highest.

    His second term he averaged 37%. And never went above 40% in his last two years. This is Gallup we are talking about which as far as I know is still reputable.

    There is more talk than at any time in my long lifetime about American democracy being under siege. I tend think that the country will, as they say, muddle through. But the mere suggestion of  a Hilary Caligula comeback makes me wonder whether the republic is doomed after all.

    It took a while for people to figure out that Bush Republicanism is just the old Northeast Republican establishment in sheepishly conservative clothing.

    What is so confusing about how the Democrats and Biden are acting or talking to the citizens?  The rigged the last election and stole POTUS and two senate seats.  They will do the same next time.  They are arguing among themselves because the GOP no longer matters.  They may be wrong but that is their thoughts.

    Rob is wrong.  My leftist friends view Sonia Sotomayor as a wise Latinx and thus never wrong.  Nothing she says that may be wrong will either be corrected or eliminated before they hear it.  Rob only thinks she is wrong because of his white racist male dominated ways.

    I notice the discussion of why the Biden is not getting the tell all books and the leaks like the Trump guys do.  Really?  Where you guys from.  They hated Trump.  Biden is a Democrat big government.  He is doing what they want just not as fast as they want.  What is  there to leak?
