GOP Insanity Containment: Beets, Gazpacho, and Lube

I am out of touch and old. But at least as far as technology is concerned, I can catch up if I want to. It’s not like there’s been that much change over my lifetime. Like Chrissy here, she’s just a slacker.

She did quit for a little while, but came back a few days ago.

Kelly at least seems like a reliable D vote; he’s also not pulling any dumb attention-grabbing antics. I’d say he’s fine.

He’s pro filibuster nuke, end of discussion.

Nope, it was murder obv

He also voted for the increase in the minimum wage (the famous vote with the Sinema dance).

He’s certainly +VORP, and possibly massively so.

Ok I’ll admit I have no idea what vorp stands for?

Value over replacement player, a concept popularized by sabermetrics.

So in this context we are saying X is better than a random average politician?

Not exactly.

Joe Manchin has very high VORP because it’s fucking West Virginia. The replacement for Manchin would be a batshit insane Republican (as one might expect from a state that was like Trump+40).

Dianne Feinstein (even though she is objectively more liberal than Manchin) has negative VORP, because if she dropped dead tomorrow, the replacement is a stone cold lock to be better than her.

I’m all in on IG now, at least opposed to FB and when it comes to keeping in touch with the family members I still speak to anyway.

I know it’s still part of the evil empire but there 99.99% less bullshit on there in my experience. The next time some ignorant douchebag But Actuallys one of my memes will be the first. And old people seem to eschew it entirely which can’t ever be wrong.

We’re saying X is better than who the replacement would be if we got rid of X.

I think that if Sinema were hit by a bus, there’s probably at least close to a 50% chance, if not greater, that she would be replaced by either a Republican or an even more conservative Democrat.
