Tuesday Stuff


This report via the German news network DW gives us the gory details on how Our Ochre Abomination is utterly killing tourism to this country, particularly from our neighbor to the north (despite commercials from Gavin Newsom for CA)...a 9.4% global drop in visitors to our shores is expected, though I have a feeling it will be more than that...the Canadian lady in Germany (Adrienne Wright) hits on a few major points IMO, and I have a feeling that her daughter will split from here the first chance she gets...so many ways Bronzer Beelzebub is wrecking this nation and our international standing that it’s hard to sustain my utter rage, which is part of their utterly disgusting strategy of course...



...and David Pakman tells us that the U.S. Naval Academy has canceled an appearance by a speaker (Ryan Holiday) because he wouldn’t omit a reference to book bans, and apparently this individual has spoken at naval events before...and yep, Yambo has his ketchup-stained chubby fingers all over this too...you look weak when you censor indeed...



...and David Shuster of Rebel HQ informs us that, apparently, Our Treasonous Orange Pestilence has brought corporate sponsorship to the White House Easter Egg roll, just as Republican Jesus intended, including naming rights to some typically cheesy commemoratives of sorts...and yeah, if the “fundies” had a speck of integrity, which they don’t, their collective hair would be on fire over this...and isn’t it just too precious to see spokes-liar Karoline Leavitt try for her place at the table with the big people, but – oopsie! – she gets it wrong on who first nominated and confirmed Judge Boasberg, as pointed out in the press briefing (it was Dubya, and I believe the MSNBC commentator was David Jolly, a former Republican U.S. House rep)...and apparently, Leavitt doesn’t know what a tariff is either, which isn’t surprising I know (good for Shuster for running down all of the sorry numbers of shame associated with this *preznit)...



...and Farron Cousins tells us about those regretful swing voters who obviously didn’t know what the hell they were doing in last year’s election, even though they thought they did...and as far as I’m concerned, this clip demonstrates that, if you’re in the MAGA cult, you’re suffering from a mental illness (and no, I’m not a life sciences professional qualified to make that diagnosis, but that’s where I stand and I’m sticking with it...so twisted by their desire to hurt others that they don’t see how they’re destroying themselves, as Cousins points out)...



...and Jesse Dollemore informs us of Sen. Elizabeth Warren giving it back to some CNBC talking head (Sara Eisen) about the Gropenfuhrer’s quite probable illegality in awarding favors to exempt some of his bootlickers from those beyond-ridiculous tariffs...and yes, the “power of the purse” resides with Congress, not Our Treasonous Man-Baby in An Oval Office, who created this carve-out of sorts when it comes to tariffs because of an alleged national emergency (if there is one, #47 CREATED IT WITH HIS FINANCIAL MISMANAGEMENT!)...Congress can indeed take the tariff power back as Warren claims, but good luck getting spineless Repugs in charge of either of our legislative bodies to do that (including Bri-Fi, who of course, true to form, hasn’t uttered a word on this tariff madness because he doesn’t want to be primaried next year)...



...and Happy Earth Day, everybody...let's commemorate this while we can before our dictatorial ruling regime bans it for being "woke."
