Jesse Dollemore gives us more on that particularly nutzoid press conference from Pumpkin Pol Pot, with #47 announcing prison time for merely thinking about crime...yeah, we’ve been in 25th Amendment territory from almost the moment this clueless orange meat sack took the oath of office (and once more, let’s recall that he didn’t put his hand on the Bible when he did so)...and ripping down the statue of Abraham Lincoln, huh? God, I wish he would just fly to Mar-a-Lago and never come back...and the “Jefferson Memorial...Thomas Jefferson”...I thought he meant George (sorry...had to say it)...”We are in danger because his brain is a melted candle” indeed (and a response to his idiotic verbal flatulence about cashless bail is here)...slightly NSFW/H...
...and Sam Seder of The Majority Report tells us about Repugs freaking out over polling for ‘26 (with Harry Enten of CNN)...I realize I’m breaking my rule a bit on focusing on the “horse race,” which normally I don’t want to do but get into actual policy instead, but I think the trends pointed out here are important across multiple polls...and boy, is Sam ever right at about 4:30 about Dems and the “vision” thing, you might say...interesting idea from Sam about how ridiculous gerrymandering might make Dem incumbents more safe than usual and put more Repug seats in play, explaining how it could boomerang on them; however, I don’t think that should give the Dems pause in CA or NY for example when it comes to redistricting to try and counter Texas...
...and Kyle Kulinski informs us that, apparently, another Repug politician didn’t get the memo when it comes to avoiding town halls (and yes, I’m being tongue in cheek), and the latest is U.S. House Rep Bryan Steil of Wisconsin, getting blasted mainly (but not exclusively) because of our support for Israel’s genocide in Gaza...incredibly NSFW/H, but for a good reason as far as I’m concerned (and oh yeah, this too)...
...and this TYT clip tells us about outrage also on display in “the land of the yellow rose,” with Texas residents destroying GOP excuses with facts about the beyond awful response to the most recent flooding...and yeah, “MAGA Mike” Johnson shows up on Fix Noise for “thoughts and prayers,” as opposed to actual competent leadership to coordinate rescue and recovery efforts (here)...and oh yeah, along comes “All Hat, No Cattle” Greg Abbott to accuse the Texas lawmakers who left the state to deny quorum over the redistricting scam of “bribery”...good luck trying to prove that...and I can’t tell you how much respect I have for Jessica Tarlov for telling the truth to those jackals on that joke of a “news” channel (with Jayar Jackson...mildly NSFW/H also)...
...and David Pakman (echoing Farron Cousins a bit from Monday) informs us that the Trump collapse has begun...Pakman does a good job IMO of explaining how those ridiculous tariffs from Our Ochre Abomination are hurting our economy and the businesses/individuals who supported #47 (once again, people who vote for the “leopards eating faces” party are shocked that the leopards ate THEIR faces)...oh, and by the way, for the zillionth time, tax cuts NEVER PAY FOR THEMSELVES – that kind of goes against principles of basic math, actually...and oh yeah, that Big Beautiful Clusterf*ck Of A Bill will lead to 10-12 million people losing health insurance from Medicaid...also, the ruinous economic policies form Pumpkin Pol Pot will, among other negative developments, increase our trade deficit as Pakman lays out...
...and I try to work in at least one newer tune each week around here, and I think this is a good selection partly for that reason.
