Wednesday Stuff
Lawrence O’Donnell gives a well-done IMO commentary below defending Harvard as well as Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Maryland man illegally sent to a prison in El Salvador...and don’t give me this crap that “oh, the president of El Salvador says he’s unable to send him back”...If Pumpkin Pol Pot told this guy Bukele to send Garcia back, it would happen PDQ, but of course that’s not the timeline we’re living in now, is it? (and yeah, “Constitutional dementia” fits for Mango Mussolini and his minions as far as yours truly is concerned)...O’Donnell’s passion is commendable when it comes not just to Mr. Garcia but defending the scholarship and innovations from Harvard Medical School...and as far as that bit about supposedly hitting elderly ladies on the head with a baseball bat, I have only to add that I DON’T BELIEVE A SINGLE, SOLITARY WORD THAT COMES OUT OF THE LYING MOUTH OF THAT TREASONOUS ASSH*LE (oh, and did anybody else notice that the president of El Salvador Bukele didn’t get any static from #47 or his mini-me about not wearing a tie in the Oval Office, unlike the complaint hurled at another world leader with more courage in his cuticle than Bukele/Trump/Vance have in their whole bodies?)...
...and Farron Cousins tells us about Our Ochre Abomination raising prescription drug prices by more stinking tariffs on imported pharmaceuticals – yet another horrible front in his beyond-disastrous trade war...and I’m not surprised to hear companies trying to hide their quarterly earnings because those numbers are such a train wreck...oh, and Cantaloupe Capone also got rid of Biden’s $35 cap on insulin, I guess just because he automatically thought it was bad because it came from his predecessor...
...and Kyle Kulinski discusses Our Orange Man-Baby cutting off FEMA funds to MAGA states, including North Carolina, where #47 once criticized FEMA’s response under Biden of course, though now that he’s prez, he’s all “la la la, can’t hear you!”...oh, and the CDC also said “nah” to Milwaukee’s request for help with unsafe lead levels in public schools...and one more thing: don’t even imagine that I’m going to get on a stinking cruise ship given the fact that there won’t even be inspections any more for communicable illness...and who needs climate studies also? I guess that’s their approach...also, any public communication for the SSA will be on Nazi Twitter, and Head Start will be eliminated also...yep, we’re pretty much cutting our own selves down to the level of a third-world country (this indeed is a “war on data,” among other things)...and yes, there definitely is another protest scheduled for this Saturday 4/19 (NSFW/H)...
...and John and Yasmin Khan of The Damage Report inform us that Dem U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff is running for another term, so what is the “party of Lincoln” focusing on in attacking him? Why, trans athletes of course...and yeah, does Georgia have a SINGLE FREAKING TRANS ATHLETE IN THE ENTIRE DAMN STATE???!! And even if they did, WHO THE F*CK CARES?? Actually, John Oliver had a good recent segment on this...the wingnuts with too much damn money and time on their hands figured out somehow that trans athletes in girls’ sports is an issue that mobilizes their frothing-at-the-mouth crazed followers (I mean, they already destroyed Roe, so now they need a new place to direct their ire)...great point by Khan that the people screeching the loudest about a trans person HAVE LIKELY NEVER MET A TRANS PERSON...and in case you’re freaked out about sharing a bathroom with a trans person, chances are you already have and you didn’t even know it, and if you’re so damn afraid of unisex bathrooms because you think it’s a “trans agenda” or whatever, then don’t ever travel to Europe or the U.K...getting back to the John Oliver clip, he profiled a young woman named Payton McNabb who suffered a concussion when she was hit in the face with a volleyball hit by a trans athlete – I guess the thinking is that girls can’t hit the hell out of a volleyball on their own – and to tell you how dumb the outrage is on this, McNabb decides to play another sport, which is fine – that would be girls’ softball, but guess what position she played? Catcher, with the highest likelihood of suffering another concussion...can’t think of a word for the idiocy...
...and Rachel Maddow discusses here the fact that our Secretary of Education Linda McMahon supposedly knows about “A1”...and isn’t it just too precious to see the African American lady and that guy smiling and nodding and maybe thinking “how the hell does she not know that it’s ‘AI’??!!”...”everything they’re doing is so terrible,” indeed (more here)...
...and I guess this newer tune is an update on the Gregor Samsa story (you can Google him)...I’m in the mood for something a little upbeat for spring, which is coming...the Trumpers/MAGA haven’t found a way to prevent that yet, though I’m sure they would if they could.
