I say let Mace, Boebert, and MTG do their best Maxine, AOC, and Omar (among other crazy women) impressions all day long. We've got Hageman and Blackburn doing the Lord's work in the background.
Stupid judges: let them reveal themselves. It's frustrating but there was always going to be pushback, at least they're doing it in the open instead of in the background like before. I don't get why there are so many short sighted people in the world--if draining the swamp isn't done smartly, it won't stick and everything will be worse afterward. That doesn't mean business as usual, it means business done right. This ex-parte stuff is basically illegal and grounds for impeachment (per my understanding, which is minimal at best) so why not get rid of a few of these robed criminals while they can?
Kincade--the problem with him and so many others in arts and entertainment is they've lost the understanding of specialness and rarity. It's so easy to produce and license things now that the mindset is constant product and content being produced at all times so there's a glut of everything and people don't care. Example--pineapples and tulips used to be rare except where they were grown. In Europe a pineapple was purchased for an exorbitant amount and oohed and ahh'd over at lavish parties. A single tulip bulb in England in the 1600s could bankrupt someone if it didn't bloom and propagate. But once pineapples and tulips were easily accessible, they lost their venerated status.
Kincade supposedly wanted his art to be enjoyed by everyone including people who couldn't afford art. Fine, that's nice and I like his stuff too and had one of his prints. But soon it was everywhere and on anything, and it lost its uniqueness. We're seeing the same thing with movies, books, etc. We need to make things special again, but it's hard when everything is so accessible and multitudinous.
. I'll try to fix it before the dog bites me.
