Farron Cousins informs us here that about 40% of King Elon’s DOGE cuts won’t actually save any $$ since the funds have already been paid...”just say ‘oops’ and yet out,” you numbskulls...and when you’re talking about the federal budget, $4-5 billion doesn’t even count as small change...
...and apparently the Gropenfuhrer is going to give a Not-Really-State-Of-The-Union-But-Yeah-Let’s-Pretend-It-Is address tonight, and Jesse Dollemore discusses putting pressure on Dems to stand up against fascism in response...and there aren’t too many in our establishment media I would take seriously at this point, but Jamelle Bouie is one of them...not that it matters one bit I realize, but here is what I’d do; I would have said publicly in advance that King Elon I should reinstate the employees he fired as a result of his DOGE purge and I would also say to Trump that DOGE needs to go completely, and if not, no Dems will not attend, which guarantees that Dems won’t attend because there isn’t a snowball’s chance in hell of our ruling cabal of treasonous demagogues actually backing down... actually, I think Ron Wyden is the only Dem handling this the right way as noted here...
...and oh look, another Repug is running and hiding from constituents, as Brian Tyler Cohen tells us, and this time it’s U.S. Senator Roger Marshall from Kansas, who decides to cut and run when asked a question about veterans’ benefits...yeah, all of those protesting at town halls are Dem ‘”crisis actors”; uh huh... just keep telling yourself that and watch what happens in the next election...and of course, since we’re talking about Repug wingnuttery, it’s almost a legal requirement to include Marjorie Trailer Park Greene (who, by the way, is also an employee of the federal government...what a moron)...and great job by MSNBC - I guess it was them - to include that clip of the fired federal employees...and yeah, the “Free Beacon” is such an objective news source...yeah – tell me when the spaceship lands, OK? (NSFW/H)...
...and to point out just how crazy the “party of Lincoln” has become, David Pakman gives us some clips of Repugs refusing to admit that Russia invaded Ukraine...not just Trump SecDef Pete Hegseth, but this Mike Waltz character and of course Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma (I’m surprised Mullin didn’t take his coat off and threaten Kristen Welker, since that seems to be par for the course with him)...and I think Pakman is spot-on in saying that the wingnuts can’t say Russia started it because, if they did, then all of the Repug posturing over the war doesn’t make any sense (and it doesn’t anyway of course, but I’m talking here about spin and perception from the “R” team, not verifiable truth and reality...oh, and speaking of Hegseth, there is also this)...
...and I realize our august corporate media doesn’t care about the impact of the USAID cuts outside of our country, but fortunately the CBC from our neighbors to the north does, and they report on how Bronzer Beelzebub’s freeze has worsened suffering in the world’s largest refugee camp in Bangladesh, though, to be fair, funding has fallen off also from other nations as the report tells us (have to include this from a foreign source also because our domestic media won’t cover it for fear of offending Dear Orange Leader)...
...and I don’t suppose it’s possible to bring the resources together for a “Concert for Bangladesh 2” or something to try and help those profiled in the previous clip...I’m old enough to remember when we once did that, yielding the following great tune in the process.
