I'm rewatching Veep and it's it's hilarious how much the characters seem to care about about themselves and their careers, and by extension seeming effective at their jobs.

Like, the whole show is about how politicians and their hangers-on are all venal, narcissistic demons, but I keep thinking to myself "At least they want to LOOK like they give a poo poo."

He's retiring at the exact time when Congress goes on a month long vacation leading into election season, which means they have about 3 weeks in September to get it done lmfao

veep was made during the obama era where obama is the ultimate form of the liberal. he can believably make you think he is doing good things and anything stopping him is actually stopping him not just because he doesn't care.

now all the liberals are too lazy

If they can figure out a way to tie the nomination and vote to military funding increase they can wrap that process up in a day no problem

Can you, in theory (if you don't suck poo poo), discuss nominating a person to SCOTUS prior to the actual retirement date? Like could you vote on the new nominee one day after Breyer retires after having discussed who it would be and interviewed them for weeks?

Which means they're going to put it off until after the election because "the American people deserve a choice" and because it makes the midterms "the most important election in history".

Which means the GOP gets another judge.

democrats are going to keep the seat vacant until the midterms, and then replace him only if they keep the senate lol because they Want to Let The Voters Decide.

Joe Biden's job is to take the fall for decades of American policy failure, and instead of learning anything Democrats will blame him instead of themselves.

Does either party even have the energy to start a war anymore? We're so far past the cold war and 9/11 that there's little ideological energy for one. The Trump and Biden admins have just been about looting and grifting while doing as little as possible. Plus both party leaderships are so old that half of them can't think straight.

The manufacturing consent industry is still working very well to drum jingoism, just look at what other goons in other forums say about China and Russia (nevermind reddit).

It's just that you know, China and Russia can credibly deal a heavy blow to the US and instead of one country it's forcing more than one country into a de-facto coalition.
