Finally, a cop-getting-off outcome we can feel good about: no charges for the Capitol police officer who fatally shot the the insurrectionist Ashli Babbitt, who was breaking into the Speaker's Lobby on January 6. (Trumpsters are very upset.)
The MAGA crowd may have stormed Capitol Hill, but they're probably pretty clueless about the latest doings in the race to keep or regain majorities there. The Democrats' margins are tight, no doubt about it. And Republican governors' foot-dragging on calling special elections to fill the seats of HUD Secretary Marcia Fudge and the late Alcee Hastings aren't helping. But the GOP just gained another expensive Congressional primary in the red state of Texas.
GOP Representative Kevin Brady is retiring. He's term-limited as the ranking member on Ways & Means, and gosh, once you've guided Benedict Donald's deficit-busting tax cuts to passage, what else is there to do? On the other hand, a 14th term in the minority could be pretty bleak. Hmmm... have any reporters asked Brady if he thinks the Republicans won't take the House in 2022?
Or maybe Brady's afraid that even with Republicans in charge of redistricting, the demographic changes in urban and suburban Texas are so far-reaching that his re-election in a redrawn district wouldn't be a slam dunk. Then again, perhaps he wants to clear the decks to become Treasury Secretary when Trump runs and wins again in 2024 (😂).
One other possibility: Kevin Brady is a pedophile. The Republican Party sure has a lot of them, don't they? We cats HISS.
