Friday Stuff
Rachel Maddow discusses how the U.S. has been “profoundly changed” by Our Treasonous Orange Pustule and his authoritarian ways...yep, just snatch immigrants off our streets and ship them to “Alligator Alcatraz” where they’re forced to eat off the floor like dogs, expanding detention zones/prisons across multiple jurisdictions, integrating active duty military into immigration enforcement, and on and on (and we have more on that town hall in Nebraska, where I guess Mike Flood thought he would just skate and everything would be hunky dory...uh, no)...
...and David Doel tells us that Our Ochre Abomination responded to Canadian PM Mark Carney recognizing Palestinian statehood in the most predictable way, with “President Deals” getting his shorts all in a knot...umm, maybe I’m missing something, but recognizing Palestine really doesn’t have anything to do with trade surpluses or deficits, does it? And apparently Carney caved and bought drones and helicopters from us (allegedly for tighter border security), but it seems that didn’t earn Carney any brownie points from our ruling regime...”You cannot negotiate in good faith with a fascist clown,” indeed...also, though I personally would favor a two-state solution with Israel and Palestine, I honestly don’t know how viable that would be at this point...that map concerning recognition of a Palestinian state really tells you what kind of outliers we are on that issue...I also didn’t know how much in the way of arms Canada exported to Israel; again, you’d think that would curry favor with this country, but not it seems...I understand Doel’s point that, if you’re going to tell Hamas to disarm, you need to tell “Bibi” that too, but Carney is trying to do the right thing IMO (yes, baby steps I know); also, it’s WAAAY past time for an arms embargo on Israel from this country...
...and Jesse Dollemore lets us know that Pumpkin Pol Pot wants to federalize D.C. after “Big Balls” of DOGE was apparently attacked by a bunch of kids...why the $#@! was this idiot out with his girlfriend at 3 AM? Not that I condone violence, but if the only thing that happened to this little puke is that he got punched in the nose, he should count his blessings...and as usual (and I know Jesse knows this), the “news” wouldn’t be if Dementia J. Trump lied – the “news” would be if he actually told the truth, this time about D.C. crime...so OK – for example, a U.S. Senator serving in government can get forcibly dragged be masked thugs (here), and the ICE Gestapo can ram a crowd with an SUV in San Francisco, injuring at least one woman (here), but OF COURSE we don’t hear a peep from Cantaloupe Capone about that (slightly NSFW/H)...
...and this clip from Jamie Lowe of Rebel HQ tells us about a Texas woman quite rightly calling out the redistricting scam in her state from “All Hat, No Cattle” Greg Abbott and his fellow Repugs...Marc Elias also points out how this redistricting move has no basis under statutes in Texas or the federal government, but is being carried out on the orders of Mango Mussolini because the “R” party knows they’re looking at a potential political bloodbath next year and they’re desperately trying to hold onto power...report also gets into other gerrymandered state maps across the country and the potential for Dems to turn the tables...”it just took a little fight back” indeed...
...and not content with trying to wreck our government along with our electoral process, Brittany Page tells us how our ruling cretin has ordered his DOJ to stop prosecuting civil rights abuse cases for Americans in prison (in Louisiana in particular, incarcerating prisoners long after the end of their sentences...that applied to a quarter of all prisoners released spending 90 days or more behind bars) and suffering from mental illness (such as in group homes in South Carolina...yeah, let’s involuntarily commit someone because they wanted their medicine...ugh)...and oh yeah, #47’s DOJ has also dropped lawsuits against police departments, including Minneapolis...I knew 20 million people will lose Medicaid coverage sadly (partly because Medicaid is called something else in other states), but I didn’t know about $300 billion in food assistance getting cut (not the total amount I mean)...given how unpopular this is, no wonder the “party of Lincoln” is trying to steal U.S. House seats in “the land of the yellow rose,” and likely elsewhere too (and more on Grant’s Pass v. Johnson is here)...
...and Kyle Kulinski tells us about CEO’s bragging about firing workers and replacing them with AI...not sure about the sourcing of this publication, but I’ve definitely found other links to this asshat named Elijah Clark, who (if there’s any justice in existence anywhere) will be replaced by AI one day himself, though sadly he appears to have a lot of company when it comes to scum bucket management trying to axe the workforce of their companies...”sacrificing everyone at the altar of the one percent” indeed (definitely NSFW/H)...
...and I’m not sure if ICE needs a theme song or not, but if they do, I’d like to nominate this tune...
...and here's another summer selection to help us wind down for the weekend.
