Monday Stuff


I thought the guy making this video gave us a pretty good glimpse of the “shell game” that we can expect from Mango Mussolini and his lizard-brained followers once they grab the reins of power (thanks to Bill Madden of Xitter for some of these Tik Tok clips...NSFW/H)...

...and like you I'm sure, I'm starrting to see more and more videos like this; fat lot of good it does NOW, though...

...and Farron Cousins lets us know that Trump voters are starting to realize that Our Treasonous Orange Pustule intends to crater the economy...again (I thought this was a pretty sound analysis of what we could be looking at, unfortunately, and as Cousins says, it’s not like we weren’t warned)...



...and it looks like Louisiana has passed what is in essence a “flat tax” of 5.5 percent for individuals and businesses, which will be highly regressive for poorer earners (more here), even though increases to standard deductions for seniors and other individuals were thrown in as a bit of a “sugar high” before the crashing reality sets in, with Yasmin Khan (I continue to be thoroughly unimpressed with Sharon Reed; if she’d bothered to actually do her homework on the taxation issue instead of pivoting to abortion, which is a whole other matter, she would have brought more to the conversation, and the “mayor of 9/11” really isn’t part of this story either...pushing a “flat tax” was the hobby horse of sorts that former Repug wunderkind Jack Kemp rode forever ago (here); it was wrong then and it’s wrong now, but leave it to the Repugs to NEVER abandon their bad ideas hoping that people forget, which often happens unfortunately)...



And oh yeah, there is this (in response to this...also this)...

Oh, fuck off, everyone clutching their pearls over Biden pardoning his son. MAGA motherfuckers, including Trump, wrecked his life. As Biden said, "In trying to break Hunter, they’ve tried to break me." So fuck them. Use power when you have it. It's a lesson all Democrats could learn.

Update: And OF COURSE Repug-lite Gluesenkamp Perez along with the equally useless Michael Bennet and Gary Peters take shots at Biden for doing the right thing (here)...I can promise you I’ll remember this if Peters seeks another term in the Senate and decides to start emailing and texting me day and freaking night for dough like he did last time...not surprising also that “the old gray lady” thought this story required three reporters, just to make sure they belittled President Biden as much as possible like they’ve done all along (I have what I think is a principled disagreement with Jason Crow, so I'll leave him out of this for now).

...and here are more seasonal selections.
