I’m going back to the prior election (painful as that is I know) to bring back this reminder about all of the fundie nut jobs out there who cast their ballot for Bronzer Beelzebub and also did so in 2016 (Calvin University's Kristin Kobes Du Mez is interviewed on the subject..."oh yes, dear white father Trump, lead us around because we're too dumb to do it ourselves, and make sure you hate the same people we do, and protect our privilege"...)...
...and David Pakman informs us that this may be the absolute worst “I told you so” moment for the MAGA numbskulls, who will likely STILL be too dumb to realize how badly they’ve gotten played...and just as a reminder, Social Security operates independently of the federal budget, so anybody who says that one contributes to the other is lying for sure (here), though Pakman is right that President Musk and the Repugs will do everything they can to try and slash it along with Medicare/Medicaid (and Aaron Rupar is indeed pretty knowledgeable on this subject)...
...and even though I suppose we’re done with the latest idiotic brinksmanship on the budget (at least for a little while), I just want to revisit this clip from Chris Hayes in which he commendably reminds us that President Elmo and Vice President Trump tried to cut about $190 million in funds to fight kids’ cancer so our poor, oppressed billionaires (snark) can have more stinking tax cuts...don’t think for a minute that these guttural lowlifes will be shamed to the point where they won’t try something like this again...
Chris Hayes: “President-elect Musk, the richest man in the world, worth 250 billion dollars, took 150 million dollars from kids with cancer.” Pure. Fucking. Evil. No wonder the trumps love Elon so much. They like to steal money from kids with cancer too.pic.twitter.com/JHMuGrUFlW

...and I don’t know who this guy is in this very NSFW/H clip, but I’ve been waiting for someone to go after Dem turncoat Lindy Li after her “stench of loser” remark about Democrats as well as her apparent endorsement of Pete Hegseth for Trump Secretary of Defense, calling him “a pretty good guy” as noted here, notwithstanding, y’know, the alcoholism and apparent abuse of women (here), as well as the fact that I’m sure Hegseth doesn’t know a damn thing about overseeing a federal agency in an administrative capacity.
(Also, I know I’ve taken shots at the @DNC and will continue to do so because of their utter strategic negligence in the just-ended campaign, but apparently, Li was part of what passed for a brain trust in that organization and seems to show no remorse whatsoever for her failed electoral performance, which isn’t surprising...rats fleeing a sinking ship and all that.)...

Update: And by the way, @DNC - every damn word of this!...want to know why turnout was depressed in the last election?
...and I don’t know about you, but I feel like I need all of these holiday selections that I can find after some of these videos in order to keep what’s left of my sanity, especially since we’re coming into the home stretch.
