As much as I might like to, I find it hard to completely ignore the dysfunction that defines American society in general and, currently, in particular, the House of Representatives. The naked venality of a man like Kevin McCarthy, so desperate for the Speaker's chair that he will contort himself in ways that most gymnasts would find impossible, is a sad spectacle to behold.
Fortunately to shed some very clear light on the mess is Politics Girl (originally from Canada), whose striking eyes and incisive mind pierce and explain the miasma currently enveloping the House.
A rudderless USA, China and Russia must be happy.
ReplyDeleteThat said, neither of them are performing too well!
Makes Trudeau look like the pinnacle of stability.

Dysfunctional government seems to be increasingly the norm, TB. How much further can things decline, I wonder.
DeleteCan’t wait to view this ! 🦎
ReplyDeletePolitics Girl is a pleasure to listen to. Incisive and insightful, she calls things as she sees them, Sal.
DeleteIt is simple. Give the developers everything, knowing that it will piss off the local authorities. People scream and yell and Doug will go "darn, drat or ghee", "We", make a mistake and promises provincial money to the local authorities to cover their shortcomings. All is well, paid by Doug's Gov! Developers win and the people lose.
ReplyDeleteI am quite dubious that Ford will make local authorities whole, Rob. And even if he does, people, I hope, will know that they are still paying for all of it.
Delete.. She certainly - ‘delivers the goods’ !
ReplyDeleteQuite remarkably succinct, accurate, scathing ! 🦎
She gets to the heart of the matter quickly, Sal. She brooks no B.S.
