Farron Cousins tells us that, apparently, Our Treasonous Orange Pustule doesn’t have any actual trade details...surprised?...and oh yeah, there was the recent hissy fit with Wal-of-China-Mart for posting price increases due to these beyond insane tariffs...and 50 tariff agreements in 120 days? #47 needs to undergo a mental competency hearing viewed by everyone in this country...
...and sticking with financial stuff, Lawrence O’Donnell informs us that the “big, beautiful” budget bill is creating a “suicide pact” with U.S. House Republicans...yep, it tells you something that Our Ochre Abomination actually went to Capitol Hill to try and strong-arm the weaklings in his party to go along with this monstrous piece of legislation, which, as O’Donnell points out, could gut Medicaid and destroy health insurance for 13 million people...glad to see O’Donnell hold that execrable Chip Roy’s feet to the fire, though you could also do that for a hell of a lot of other House Repugs...Lawrence generally treats our Beltway courtier media the way they should be treated (particularly in dealing with Bronzer Beelzebub), and that’s with contempt, and he does so again here...also, good for O’Donnell to point out the importance of deducting state and local taxes on homes, which doesn’t just apply to the “one percent,” I’ll tell you right now; typical for our shyster cheap con artist of a *preznit to say he’d fix this mess he created last year, but now – oopsie! – it looks like he won’t fix it after all, as per usual...
Update 5/22/25: Every Republican who voted for this has blood on his or her hands, including Bri-Fi (here and here); to do something about it, click here.
...and RIP George Wendt...not much to say about him except for his portrayal of Norm on “Cheers” of course; what follows is a montage of his best entrances (didn't know Wendt was the uncle of Jason Sudeikis...learn something new every day)...
...oh, and Michael Ledeen also died (mentioned at about 12:44 in the clip below about the Iran-Contra fiasco...Ledeen, among his other misdeeds, was allegedly an intermediary for this guy as noted in the video)...
...and speaking of right-wing scumbags, I think that’s an appropriate lead-in to this latest installment of “This Day In Doomsy History” from 5/21/11...with all of the “flood the zone” Trumpian insanity raging, it kind of got lost in the news a bit that Charles Koch emerged from his crypt a few weeks ago to lament the direction the country was heading (here)...ummmm, YOU and your late brother had A HELL OF A LOT TO DO with making sure this country does as little as possible for the “99 percent” while also seeing to it that you and your rich pals ABSOLUTELY SKATED over the rest of us...well, with that in mind, I offer the following from 14 years ago...
...and this tune was released on this day in 1970...apologies for neglecting to note the 55th anniversary of Kent State on 5/4.
