Tuesday Stuff
Richard Ojeda of Rebel HQ lets us know that 13.7 million Americans will lose their health care from Medicaid cuts under the “Big, Beautiful Act,” commendably getting called out by AOC...and deregulating gun suppressors? Ah, “smell the freedom” on that one, my fellow prisoners...also, getting rid of SNAP benefits, coming for Planned Parenthood also because of course (and as Ojeda points out, the CO-08 U.S. House rep is some Repug named Gabe Evans, in case you were wondering)...and once more, I have to admit that I’m shocked to hear some reality from Thomas Massie of all people, but credit where it’s due...and of course Kevin (“Human Capital Stock”) Hassett is just so gleeful over taking more from the people who can afford it least (here)...
...and Tennessee Brando tells us more on #47 basically declaring war on blue states by deploying (illegally of course) the National Guard against California, aided and abetted by the scurrilous High Court of Hangin’ Judge JR that gave #47 cover for “official acts”...and Brando is about 150 percent correct when talking about the long-term damage of Our Treasonous Orange Pustule, and I think he’s also correct to tie all of this back to the Patriot Act under Dubya...and there’s so much lies and idiocy in that clip with Kristi Noem, who apparently was against federalizing the National Guard before she was for it, you might say, that’s it is hard indeed to get your head around all of it (NSFW/H)...
...and in a related story, David Doel tells us about the Australian news correspondent who was shot in the leg with a rubber bullet, and yes, it does appear that she was targeted, as were others with cell phones...and oh yeah, there’s the LAPD beating up a defenseless protestor on the ground, including trampling him with a horse – what machismo, huh? And it’s an interesting bit of context IMO to recall public disapproval of the “freedom riders” in the ‘60s; it just goes to show that public opinion may be slow to catch up at times, which is OK...
...and heading back to D.C., Jesse Dollemore tells us about some U.S. House Repug loon named Mary Miller who sent some insane anti-immigrant tweet about a Sikh leading a prayer, and timed for D-Day, which is the cherry on the icing of this sh*t sundae for the reasons Jesse mentions (and Jesse brings us the clip with her invoking Hitler on 1/6 – ummm, there is NEVER A PROPER REASON OR OCCASION TO INVOKE HITLER!)...and I have to admit that I’m shocked to hear that the Sikh chaplain was introduced by Jeff Van Drew, of all people (NSFW/H also)...
...oh, and Bobby Brainworms just gutted the 17-member CDC panel that issues vaccine recommendations, because of course (and after Jr. promised in his confirmation hearing that he wouldn’t do that); it sounds like he’s going to reconstitute the board likely with a bunch of crackpots...
...and RIP Sly Stone - I think this tune is more apropos than ever.
