MBS Broke Us

Sometimes the biggest things happening in the world are happening out of view. Sometimes they're hidden but just as often they simply don't get the attention they should because they don't have traction as news stories. Or perhaps all the players have their own interests in not drawing attention to them. You may have noticed that Joe Biden is traveling to Saudi Arabia next month and that he plans to hold a summit with the de facto ruler of the country, Mohammed bin Salman — usually called MBS. He's going to Riyadh. MBS is not coming to Washington. This is presented as a full reset of relations between the two countries and — though this is stated less directly — a full reset with MBS. So all that human-rights, Yemen-war, Jamal-Khashoggi-being-dismembered-at-a-consulate-in-Istanbul stuff is done with. That was then. This is now.

So why would the U.S. do this? Well, that's pretty straightforward. We have no choice. The Saudis, and really MBS, has played the most brass knuckle kind of hardball with the U.S. And he's won. I don't think there's any other way to put it. There's a complex set of causes behind the inflation that currently plagues the U.S. and global economy. The exact interplay between supply chain disruption, pent-up demand from the pandemic, demand driven by stimulus spending, changed work and leisure patterns driven by the pandemic isn't clear. The relative importance of each is a matter of on-going controversy. But a critical part of the equation is energy prices — both in their political impact and as a driver in the economy overall.

For many decades, Saudi Arabia has been the key player in the global oil market. That is not only as one of the largest producers but as the producer with the greatest production elasticity. Put simply, the Saudis can dial up supply quickly if they want to. And that means they have an outsized impact on global prices. For the last year and a half the U.S. has needed the Saudis to step in and hike production very, very badly. That's both for the health of the U.S. economy and for Joe Biden's political fortunes. And MBS has consistently said, no. Why should I? What have you done for me lately? All I hear is that I'm a pariah and now you want my help? Being tight with the Trump family and particularly Jared Kushner hasn't hurt certainly. There are numerous reasons why MBS is more aligned with U.S. Republicans and more autocratic rulers around the world. But the biggest thing here is likely simply to be respected and power.

The Saudis didn't cause the economic trajectory of the last 18 months. But they could have altered it very substantially. They didn't. And they refused against a gusher of U.S. demands and pleas.

See Also: CNN correspondent Whitney Wild downplayed the violent threat against Justice Brett Kavanaugh's life and warned about political violence from both sides, after an armed man was arrested outside the justice's home, Wednesday.  

This hasn't all been to stick it to the U.S. and the Biden administration. After all, the Saudis and other producer states have been making a fortune. There is also Russia's new partnership with OPEC through OPEC+. That's weighed in the balance too. But that's another part of the same equation. The Saudis have been more solicitous of Russia than the U.S. This has all come even more to the fore after the Russian invasion of Ukraine which put even greater pressure on global energy supplies — oil and natural gas. It may be Ukraine that finally forced the White House to cry uncle.

The Saudis have us over a barrel. Now we're suing for peace. Not a pretty picture. But we have no choice.

Remind Me Why We Have Sheriffs?

I hope you get a chance to read Matt Shuham's feature piece today about "constitutional sheriff" Dar Leaf. It really brings together the current rage for Trump era "voter fraud" conspiracy theories and our much longer-term interest in far-right anti-government radicalism. When I got to thinking about this a few weeks ago it suddenly occurred to me that almost always when there was one of these figures it was a sheriff. In this case I'm not talking about the so-called "constitutional sheriffs," though that's a big part of it. I'm talking about Joe Arpaio in Maricopa County, Arizona or Alex Villanueva in LA County, David Clarke in Milwaukee. Like I said, these guys are always the sheriffs.

See Also:  NBC Washington Correspondent Yamiche Alcindor and former U.S. Attorney Barbara McQuade join Andrea Mitchell to discuss key challenges facing the January 6 Committee ahead of their primetime hearings this week: getting a "distracted nation" to pay attention and understand what's at stake. "I think the biggest challenge for lawmakers here, as they talk about these sort of huge ideas of American democracy and sort of the experiment that we're all living in, benefiting from, possibly being brought to his knees, is whether or not they can make people care," says Alcindor. "The American public has been groomed to expect high value quick entertainment," says McQuade. "I think putting together a polished show can be very important."

One of the big reasons I think is that sheriffs often aren't tied into a formal system of political accountability or responsibility. They're usually elected of course and that's a fundamental accountability. But a city police force and its leadership, for all their problems, are responsible for public safety and usually report to politically accountable people — the mayor, the city council and so forth. They may have some degree of independence. But they're seldom totally independent. Needless to say this police force accountability does not always work perfectly. But at least the structure is there. Sheriffs departments are often an extra layer of police power in a region that already has a policing authority.

 See Also: CNN correspondent Whitney Wild downplayed the violent threat against Justice Brett Kavanaugh's life and warned about political violence from both sides, after an armed man was arrested outside the justice's home, Wednesday.  

Of course, a big part of the problem is precisely the accountability: They're elected. We don't usually elect the police chief. They usually report to a civilian. Yet another reason mimics our national political dynamics. Since sheriffs are county officials they often get political power from more suburban and rural areas but have varying degrees of authority in urban areas, often sharing that authority with police departments which have responsibility for ordinary crime. All of these factors spurs a great temptation for freelancing, a big temptation for highly politicized mischief.

I'm only scratching the surface here of course. The precise nature of the office varies greatly in different states. But we've been following right-wing radicalism for many years, somehow this only really hit me quite recently. I knew it like everyone else at some level. But I'd just never focused on it, maybe because it is in fact right there in the open: it's always the sheriffs.

Turns Out John Eastman Was Invited To Give Ginni Thomas’ Group A ‘Status Update’ In Dec. 2020

Remember John Eastman, Donald Trump's chief election theft legal advisor?

See Also: Pelosi defends not passing a bill, claims Supreme Court Justices aren't in any danger despite assassination attempt this week…

And remember when, after he was subpoenaed by the Jan. 6 Committee, Eastman unsuccessfully attempted to keep private a group of emails that he said concerned "civic minded citizens of a conservative viewpoint who meet semi-regularly to socialize and discuss issues of public concern"? The group, apparently, had a "high-profile leader." 

See Also:  Whoopi Goldberg says 'both sides' guilty of rhetoric like Schumer's against Kavanaugh, must 'be more careful'

That prompted a good deal of speculation — including at TPM — about just who that high-profile leader might be. We had some ideas.

See Also: Texas Rep Jasmine Crockett blamed Republicans for shooting: 'The blood of these children' is on their hands 

Well, now we have confirmation: The group was apparently one that included Ginni Thomas, wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and a right-wing activist heavily involved in her own right in the effort to steal a second Trump term. 

See Also: CNN media analyst on Kimmel interview: Biden could use 'exposure' that isn't 'too challenging' for him

After an explosive pair of articles this week describing fresh committee records detailing the correspondence between the two, Eastman on Thursday acknowledged reality himself, posting a copy of a Dec. 4 invitation from Ginni Thomas for him to speak to her group "Frontliners" four days later, and to present "a status update to a group of grassroots state leaders."

See Also: CNN correspondent Whitney Wild downplayed the violent threat against Justice Brett Kavanaugh's life and warned about political violence from both sides, after an armed man was arrested outside the justice's home, Wednesday.  

Eastman didn't confirm outright that the invitation he described was the same correspondence he tried to keep hidden from the committee, but the details of both records appear to match up.

See Also: Ana Navarro loses it during CNN gun control panel: 'Get your a--es in gear and call your Senators!'

Don't worry, Eastman said, that thing where he wrote on Dec. 24 that "I understand that there is a heated fight underway" within the Supreme Court — that definitely wasn't based on insider knowledge from the Thomas family.

See Also:  "The View" co-host Joy Behar said Wednesday that gun laws would change "once Black people get guns in this country."

"I can categorically confirm that at no time did I discuss with Mrs. Thomas or Justice Thomas any matters pending or likely to come before the Court," he said in a blog post Thursday. "We have never engaged in such discussions, would not engage in such discussions, and did not do so in December 2020 or anytime else." 

See Also:  Joy Reid accuses Republicans of thriving on 'demographic panic,' says GOP wants no one to feel 'safe'

Eastman claims, instead, he was relying on internet rumors published on conservative websites. He pointed to one example from the Vision Times. As the Washington Post's Philip Bump pointed out yesterday, unfounded stories about a supposed fight among the justices were spread across the internet, and even made their way into Trump's election-theft litigation.

See Also:  Sara Haines asked Sen. Chris Murphy if the Republican Party is going further right during Tuesday's episode of "The View."

But that's not to say he wasn't in touch with Ginni Thomas at all! "As you can see for yourselves, she invited me to give an update about election litigation to a group she met with periodically," Eastman said. 

See Also:  Joy Behar said on "The View" on Monday that inflation and high gas prices were a "worldwide problem" and largely blamed the baby formula shortage on Republicans.

See! Nothing to worry about.

Thomas, for her part, sent dozens of emails to state lawmakers pressuring them to overturn the election results. The committee has requested an interview with Thomas, who told the Daily Caller Thursday that she "can't wait to clear up misconceptions."
