Wednesday Stuff

John and Jayar of The Damage Report inform us of Dementia Donnie blowing off the funeral for Dem state rep Melissa Hortman and her husband...I realize it isn’t exactly front-page news to point out that Cantaloupe Capone is a heartless, narcissistic monster, but part of the reason I’m mentioning this is because everything pertaining to this Vance Boelter person (the alleged assassin) has somehow fallen off the media radar, as nearly as I can tell anyway, particularly given the fact that this guy had a weapons cache and a bunch of other Dems he was apparently targeting...gee, you’d think that would be worth a few more stories at least, along with the possibility that he might have had an accomplice or two...??...with all of his myriad outrages, I’d forgotten that Our Ochre Abomination didn’t even issue a statement in response to the shootings of the Hortmans, along with John Hoffman and his wife (and apparently Boelter may or may not be on a suicide watch as noted here – don’t look for a speck of sympathy from me)...



...and Thom Hartmann tells us that almost a quarter of those polled according to yougov think we’re already in a dictatorship...peachy...Thom says that if you intimidate a couple of people in certain jobs/industries, you can intimidate other people in those jobs/industries, and he may be right...and once again, it’s a comment to how dark a place we’re at when someone like Thomas Massie stands as a voice of reason, but that’s the case for now, so OF COURSE a Super PAC now arises to take down Massie in Kentucky, and Thom is correct about Chris LaCivita and the Swift Boat Lying Liars from about 20 years ago (more on the War Powers resolution with Ro Khanna and Massie is here)...



...and Farron Cousins tells us how underwater Our Treasonous Orange Pustule is when it comes to his approval rating, which is only bound to get worse after the passage of his Big Beautiful Obscenity, with 53% of those polled saying we’re going in the wrong direction; I know the BBB number was bad, but only 35 percent approval? Yeah, that’s a pretty subterranean polling number...



...and Sam and the crew from The Majority Report tell us that it looks like Dem U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff recently tried to get Repug Doug Collins to explain exactly what is proposed to be cut by $17-18 billion in the VA budget, though it appears to be a reduction in headcount, which will no doubt mean a reduction in services for our veterans (typical Trumpist move to stonewall anyone conducting oversight)...figures for this bunch...and apparently it was too much trouble for Collins to properly prepare for the hearing even though all he had to go over was a 26-slide Power Point presentation...”the dog ate my homework” indeed from Collins...



...and I think this clip puts Trumpist spokes-liar Karoline Leavitt in the context she truly deserves...



...and here is another seasonal tune.



Update 1: Damn straight (about the "Big Beautiful Atrocity")...

Update 2: Don't give Bri-Fi a moment's peace over this...
