With all of the awful nominees for cabinet positions as part of our incoming bunch of failures, celebrity suckups and various other bottom feeders, it’s not hard to forget how bad Tulsi Gabbard would be as DNI (she being the cheerleader, if you will, for dictators everywhere including al-Assad and Putin), but yes, she would be her own brand of terrible, as The Lincoln Project reminds us (keep waiting for that national political party org with a “D” as its leading initial to fight back, and I guess I’ll have to keep waiting)...
...well, at least somebody on the “D” team is showing a pulse, and that would be Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut quite rightly railing against our corporate media for kow-towing to Bronzer Beelzebub...aside from standing up to #45/47, Liz Cheney represents absolutely nothing that I believe in, but that doesn’t make the smear campaign against her any less of an utter obscenity...
...and Rachel Maddow tells us about some of the horror stories behind the “Tesla Self-Driving Beta” launch...nice work, Elmo; some real horror stories including people getting killed, as well as a kid having to be airlifted from injuries suffered when one of these vehicles blew through a bus stop...looks like over 2 million Teslas are the subject of a probe that will be spiked by the incoming Trump gang...and oh yeah, let’s blame “excessive data collection” as the cause instead of these deadly monstrosities randomly destroying lives...yeah, that’s the ticket...
...and speaking of President Elmo, Seth Meyers gives us “A Closer Look” on what will likely be a government shut down, just in time for the holidays...I’d love to be wrong, but I don’t think I am since this is apparently what the Xitter king wants (and yeah, I guess we’re at the phase where some Biden memes are going to find their way into the discussion...more here, here and here)...
Update 1: And by the way, you KNOW it must be bad for U.S. House Repugs because Bri-Fi’s working extra hard to get out press releases online about dedicating gymnasiums, giving out awards to high school students and visiting senior centers, all to avoid having to deal with the fact that HIS POLITICAL PARTY WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR YET ANOTHER GOVERNMENT SHUT DOWN (and as corny as all of this is, I have to reluctantly point out that people remember it at election time and that has a lot to do with why he keeps getting sent back to Washington...watch and learn, Democrats).
Oh, I’m sorry...I forgot that Bri-Fi, along with Dem Rep Brendan Boyle, sponsored H.R. 4534, the Women and Lung Cancer Research and Preventive Services Act of 2024, a bill which bill “requires the Department of Health and Human Services to conduct an interagency review of lung cancer research, prevention, and awareness with respect to women and underserved populations,” according to the bill’s text.
Well, that’s all well and good (and “interagency review” sounds like something that could lead to a report that ends up in a dead-letter file somewhere), but here’s my question; how much money are you going to allocate for something like this? I read through the bill’s text and a transcript of the floor remarks when this was introduced, and I couldn’t find out that information. Are you going to spend more money on therapies for women in “underserved populations” to get the treatment they need (or are you going to allocate same to the Department of Health and Human Services to see measures implemented that would cut down on the increased incidents of lung cancer that you noted)? Basically, what is the practical impact of such a bill (and I would ask this of Rep. Boyle also)?
Don’t hide behind a damn press release, Bri-Fi...AGAIN! Come out of your hidey hole and face the music!
Update 2: It appears that this ridiculous game of chicken may be averted for now.
...and I hope you're in the mood for more seasonal tunes, because here they are.
