Monday Stuff


John Iadarola and Abelina Sabrina of The Damage Report inform us that the bloody purge against any actual undocumented immigrant or someone viewed to be such from Our Ochre Abomination seems just hunky dory for about a quarter of this country, including 46 percent of Republicans among those polled...sure, let’s just pleasantly stroll right into fascism...God almighty...



...and Jesse Dollemore brings us the tale of a South Dakota dairy farmer hoping he doesn’t get screwed over by Mango Mussolini, assuming that #45/47 and “Unsafe At Any Speed” Kristi Noem won’t do their level best to put him out of business...yeah, him hedging in response to the reporter’s questions isn’t a good sign right off the bat, people; why indeed would someone go along with this? I guess he was brought up to believe that that the “D” party is the “mommy” party and the “R” party is the “daddy” party...more fool him (mildly NSFW/H)...



...and David Pakman tells us that 47 is approaching a “fork in the road” when it comes to his promised economic policies and their real-world impact (i.e., tariffs, roundup of immigrants, etc.)...and I have no sympathy whatsoever for low-income residents of our beloved commonwealth of PA who didn’t bother to educate themselves on what Combover Caligula was proposing and cast their ballot for him anyway...another terrific discussion from Pakman about the importance of immigration to sustaining and growing our economy; again, this version of Not Your Father’s Republican Party, based on their idiotic notions of “governance,” doesn’t have a clue about this stuff...”the slogans don’t pay the bills” indeed...



...and I know I’m a little late with this, but Mike Figueredo brings us his “Best and Worst” of 2024...and by the way, I think scolding John Fetterman for supporting our “ally” “Bibi” AND telling people not to take pleasure in the execution of Brian Thompson of United Healthcare is entirely consistent...and I wish Figueredo had cited one particular instance of Bill Maher needing to STFU; I think Maher is the correct choice, but that doesn’t mean we should be “painting with a broad brush” either...more reasons to go after Maher are here...and yes, he’s allowed to criticize the alleged leadership of the Democrats, but Maher’s reasons have to do with affecting his privilege and not because of anything remotely close to issues affecting people who constitute his ever-shrinking audience...I think Figueredo is a little too tough on Biden here; yes, Biden should probably have dropped out at the midterms, but he was going to get pilloried regardless of what he did – I don’t agree with Biden on Israel either, but does anyone seriously think that situation won’t get more out of hand after Our Treasonous Orange Pestilence is sworn back in? (NSFW/H)...



...and awww, let’s all break out the tiny violins for Bronzer Beelzebub who haz a sad over flags set at half-staff for former President Jimmy Carter (here)...Texas Paul gives our incoming preznit the response he deserves IMHO...and on that note, I give you more Repug BS here (and I saw that Jim Worthington of the NAC FINALLY set his flag at half-staff a day or so ago)...


...and happy belated 80th birthday to Stephen Stills.
