A sign of a civilization in headlong decline is its embrace of absurdities. Unfortunately for the United States, we are witnessing an epidemic of nihilist nonsense. Here are a few examples:

Biden is Bullshitter-in-Chief: That whole ‘debt ceiling’ thingy:
BIDEN: "I doubt many people…would've said that two years after being elected, I'd be able to convince India, Australia, Japan, and the United States to form an organization called the Quad."
The Quad was re-established in 2017 under President Trump. pic.twitter.com/TsUHE4TSqA

President Biden is continuing to invoke the dubious 14th Amendment claim that he can effectively raise the debt ceiling without congressional approval. https://t.co/5xAiFnkTzw It is constitutionally and logically flawed despite growing Democratic support. https://t.co/SzCN45ZF2B
— Jonathan Turley (@JonathanTurley) May 21, 2023
They did this under Obama as well. They sat back and encouraged him to circumvent Congress with all his E.O.s and "Executive Actions". Oddly, a heck of a lot of what Biden 'is doing' mirrors Obama. I don't believe for a second Biden is writing/making any of these policies. ANY.

Ronald Brownstein (1/27/23): The Logic Behind Biden’s Refusal to Negotiate the Debt Ceiling: The president’s current posture on the issue has a history.
Invoking the 14th Amendment to avoid default on the debt is a terrible idea, not for legal reasons, but political. It would be an end-run around the political process, and set a terrible precedent for future end-runs by Republicans when they are in a position to do it.

Dear @RichardHaass: So when was the last time you remember Democrats threatening to crash the US economy by manufacturing a debt default?
This isn’t a both sides issue. This isn’t a negotiations issue. This is a hostage taking by Republicans who are willing to crash the economy. https://t.co/ndFt7MvlgR

Continuing resolutions are generally done to prevent government shutdowns. This is a totally different issue. We can withstand a government shutdown. But defaulting on our debt would potentially be catastrophic.
— Ted Lieu (@tedlieu) May 21, 2023
"We can withstand a government shutdown"
Um, that's NOT what dems say everytime we're facing a 'government shutdown'. Y'all basically insinuate we're threatened w/'mass extinction' or something. A dog makes more progress chasing its tail than you/dems do spinning this BS.— Maggie (@drillanwr) May 21, 2023
Anders Hagstrom: Biden declares himself ‘blameless’ if US defaults on debt: ‘I’ve done my part’. Biden blamed ‘MAGA Republicans’ in Congress for derailing debt talks
Nuh-uh, Brandon…
So much of what Congressional Republicans have proposed during budget negotiations is simply unacceptable.
It’s time for them to move off their extreme position and act to avoid default. pic.twitter.com/cg7sV9k7Es

It is impossible for the US to default on existing debt unless you directly order the Treasury to do so. Ongoing revenues cover debt service 10 times over without any new debt.
Sorry. We're done funding the most corrupt administration in history. Resign, traitor.

Hunter-Gate: Talk about “white privilege”
Jonathan Turley: Hunter Biden Faces Call for Key Business Associates in the Arkansas Proceedings
There is a new and interesting development in Arkansas where attorneys for Lunden Alexis Roberts have prepared a list of witnesses for the upcoming proceedings involving Hunter Biden’s daughter, Navy. As previously discussed, Hunter Biden is seeking to reduce child support payments and has balked at Navy being able to use the Biden name. If successful, this could get a lot worse for Hunter in his allegedly efforts to conceal his past income. On the list are business partners at the center of the influence peddling scandal…
On the list are business partners who are connected to millions of dollars acquired from foreign interests in China, Ukraine and other countries. Also on the list is New York City art gallery owner Georges Bergès who continues to sell his art. Bergès has reportedly pushed back on congressional efforts to reveal details on these proceeds and buyers even though former government ethicists have raised concerns over the sales.
The costs of these proceedings and high-priced legal team would seem to undermine claims of financial distress by Biden. However, by putting his financial worth at issue, Hunter has opened up a new front in battling over the disclosure of his past dealings. Some of his past associates are reportedly cooperating with House investigators in tracking foreign payments…
This a family of complete unmitigated narcissistic sociopaths…
Hunter Biden spends 55k on PRIVATE JET to attend hearing to claim he’s too poor to pay child support for daughter that Joe Biden refuses to acknowledge: reporthttps://t.co/p6Zl68v11l

Imagine a multimillionaire taking a private jet to attend a court hearing where he's claiming poverty in order to reduce his child support obligation. That same man, btw, is also fighting in court to deny his child his family's name. The family name? Biden. His? #HunterBiden pic.twitter.com/lvp7LSqrUL

The Democommie Senators in all their gory:
A man for no season. The MSM continues to give him credit for ‘speaking’, not for ‘how’ he’s having acute difficulties, nor the content of what he’s saying because you really cannot decipher what is coming out of his mouth. He’s that kid in your grade school class that the teacher called on to clumsily read out loud a few paragraphs from “The Red Badge of Courage” and by the time he’s done nobody knows exactly what he was reading because it doesn’t match-up with what you’ve tried to read-along in your own book…
Sen. John Fetterman used to walk the halls of the Senate stone-faced and in formal suits. Now, he’s more relaxed, in hoodies and gym shorts.
People close to Fetterman say it's a sign of progress after six weeks of inpatient treatment for depression. https://t.co/CZU3wqhcFn
— The Associated Press (@AP) May 21, 2023
2 things are clear here:
1. if, say, a GOP senator dressed like this you'd trash him … her
2. if, say, Fetterman walked the halls of the Senate in his bare-feet and BVDs scratching his groin you'd still fawn— Maggie (@drillanwr) May 22, 2023

Paul Sacca: Target faces backlash for selling products from transgender designer promoting violence, drug use, Satanism
The founder and designer of Abprallen is Erik Callen, according to TransLash – a website that is “building experiences to advance trans narratives, histories, healing, and – most importantly – the human rights of trans people.”
A 2020 Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign for Abprallen was created by Erik Callen.
Last week, Callen wrote about selling his LGBTQ products at Target.
Being able to sell my stuff in Target stores is incredibly exciting, knowing that people are seeing it without (necessarily)explicitly seeking LGBT-related stuff is wonderful, and I’m especially happy at the thought that young closeted people will see it, and I hope that in some way they’ll feel a bit more comfortable in themselves, as we all deserve to feel.
You can get the sweatshirt and the bags on the Target website or in stores.
Callen added, “These have already got the transphobes infuriated with me and I feel like quite the celebrity to think that they believe this is all some big conspiracy and I have any power to brainwash anyone when I’m just some guy drawing pictures!”Callen claims that the word “groomer” is a “right-wing, transphobic word that is currently being used against trans people who stick up for trans youth in the same was it was used against gay people for sticking up for gay youth.”
However, Callen confesses that he was groomed when he was young, and he will “likely be working through it for the rest of his life.”…
