Our ruling cabal of idiots, grifters and lowlifes is indeed a bad joke, and at this moment, I don’t know what else there is to do except to stay alert and involved as best we can...on an unrelated manner, this, fortunately, is a development to celebrate...
...and John and Jayar Jackson of The Damage Report inform us that that WHCA has dropped comedienne Amber Ruffin as the headliner for the “nerd prom,” which, as John says, is apparently part of the campaign to make comedy illegal under the administration of Cantaloupe Capone...this story is particularly ridiculous because #47 never attends the dinner anyway (and “only their jokes count” indeed as far as our ruling regime is concerned)...
...and I know I already touched a bit on the story of Kristi (“Unsafe At Any Speed”) Noem visiting the El Salvadoran prison and flashing her Rolex, but Chris Hayes gets into a little more detail here, including the part about making deportation clips as fascist propaganda...”prisoners stacked behind (Noem) like firewood” indeed, with people deported because of their tattoos (including one man with a “tat” promoting Autism Awareness, which was apparently a bridge too far for the Trumpers), based on reporting from Mother Jones...Hayes speaks with reporter Noah Lanard of MJ...
...and Jesse Dollemore lets us know about this Joel Webbon character and his flunky Wesley Todd going along with the notion of calling Trump a king and pressuring government to seize church property that flies pride flags and has women in positions of leadership in these churches - oh, but it would be “kindness” to stick the heel of my boot in your neck and pretty much curb-stomp you – uh huh...yep, it is indeed the privilege of growing up as a white straight man in the U.S...hard to determine what it worse here, the arrogance or the stoo-pidity...probably the most NSFW/H clip from Jesse, but for a good reason IMO...
...and Rachel Maddow tells us about the cruel idiocy of DOGE coming for the US Institute of Peace, forcing their way into the USIP building with the help of the FBI, the State Department, diplomatic security service and a private security firm (here)...the US Attorney’s office in DC also threatened the leaders of this organization apparently, and someone actually called in the DC cops also, who physically evicted the USIP staff from the building, and then handed everything over to Elmo and DOGE...well, these DOGE nematodes tried to fire everyone from USIP, with termination notices “riddled with mistakes,” and the topper I suppose is that USIP isn’t even part of the executive branch of government; it’s a non-profit created by Congress...oh, but the “cunning plan” is to steal the building, apparently; fortunately, this whole fandango is now in the lap of DC District Court Judge Beryl Howell (God, I wish all of this were just an episode of Rocky and Bullwinkle)...
...and do you ever get to the point where the whole mess just gets to be a bit too much and you just want to decompress with a tune that takes the edge off a bit? Well, I hope this achieves the desired result.
