Monday Stuff
Brittany Page, sitting in for Jesse Dollemore, brings us a clip of CNN’s Pam Brown interviewing Oklahoma school superintendent Ryan Walters, who wants to have Trump bibles in schools and also wants to get rid of the Department of Education...for the record, I will never oppose anyone saying a prayer as a private citizen, but I will ALWAYS oppose someone saying it in an official capacity as an elected official on behalf of individuals of all faiths, as well as individuals who practice no official faith whatsoever...and one reason why I don’t want to hear these idiots on the right yelling about “the left” opposing religion is because they just did everything in their power (along with “centrist dipsh*ts” and others) to get rid of a president who, in addition to doing the best job among leaders of industrialized nations of successfully bringing an economy out of COVID, was also a practicing Roman Catholic who regularly attended Sunday services, something else Biden got zero credit for (I mean, I don’t think ANY politician should receive a vote because of their religious affiliation, but idiots like Walters opened the metaphorical door on this, not me)...and why the $#@! would you include our country’s foundational documents such as the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence IN THE FREAKING TRUMP GODDAMN BIBLE???!!! Oh, riiight – it’s because you’re part of the cult...my bad for not picking up on that...
...and John Iadarola informs us that Texas is willing to build a camp for those the incoming Trump gang will round up and deport, because nothing says “I’m a good Christian” like detaining and kicking out those less fortunate whose only “crime” was to imagine that they could emigrate here in search of a better life for themselves and their families...and knowing this incoming gang of thugs, I'm sure people who've already lived here will be included also unfortunately (Sharon Reed also comments)...
...and with “the land of the yellow rose” in mind, I now give you the latest installment of “This Day In Doomsy History” from 11/25/12, in which former governor Rick “Goodhair” Perry opens his pie hole about his state seceding, which was tried once before and didn’t go so well as I recall; it should also be noted that Texas received about $105 billion in federal aid as noted here, so they could kiss that goodbye also (and by the way, the current guv has run his mouth about leaving the union also as noted here...talk is cheap, cowboy)...
Update: On second thought, just leave.
...and Daivd Pakman lets us know about the “mandate” for Cantaloupe Capone (based on the election) which continues to shrink – winning margin is 1.6% points and 2½ million votes as of now...as I’ve said already, I think the story of the ’24 election will be all the ways the Harris vote was suppressed (and how ANYBODY could have stayed home in an election as important as this one is something I cannot fathom and a reality that those guilty of that offense IMO will have to live with for the rest of their lives...and Pakman is right to focus on the 1-in-5-functional-illiterate thing, something the alleged geniuses at the @DNC should have focused on also when doing whatever voter outreach they did, or more likely, DIDN’T do)...
...and in this unearthed clip, RFK Jr. calls Trump supporters “Nazis” and “idiots”...and yeah, Matt Taibbi has really “jumped the shark” also (Sam and Emma of The Majority Report bring us the details)...interesting background from Sam on how RFK Jr. used to be pretty coherent policy wise (to say nothing of actually being correct, especially on the climate and the DAPL protests as Emma mentions), but how Jr. has pretty much lost him damn mind since then...and yeah, Emma is sure right about lefties who go over to “the dark side” for the almighty buck...
...and RIP Peter Sinfeld of King Crimson.
