As all of us will do one day, it looks like “Deadeye Dick” has shed his mortal coil and gone onto whatever version of the afterlife awaits him...as I noted awhile back, I thought this Special Comment from Keith Olbermann was an appropriate response to this (maybe Big Time will get the chance to accidentally shoot someone in the face in Gehenna; I give Cheney credit for pushing back against Bronzer Beelzebub, which is more than Dubya did, but when it comes to Cheney’s good deeds, that’s the beginning and end of a very short list)...
...and Cenk Uygur of TYT gives us a commentary noting that Cheney was arguably the greatest fear of former President Eisenhower; Cheney spoke on that panel when #44 was president (oooh, scary black man wearing tan suit doesn’t defend us...GMAFB!)...
...and this shows Cheney’s neighbors toppling a makeshift statue of him in effigy near his home in Jackson Hole, Wyoming in August 2007 (a nod to this, with the crowd chanting “No More Iraq War” and “Impeach Cheney First”)...
Update: More here.
...and turning to the ruin from our current Republican presidential administration, Rachel Maddow discusses all kinds of negative polling for Cantaloupe Capone (including CNN, with a disapproval rating higher now than when it was in the aftermath of 1/6...also, most polled believe we’re losing our global standing; additionally, #47 has a 54 percent disapproval on the destruction of the east wing of the White House...also, according to an ABC/WaPo poll, the die-hards in favor of Don The Con are down to 20 percent, and #47 is also polling badly on Israel/Gaza, running the government overall and those stinking damn tariffs...also, ripping off the DOJ for $230 million is polling about as well as you would expect...also, I know it’s good that we have a higher polling number for No Kings than MAGA, but I’m a little stunned that that number isn’t higher than 43 percent (glad to hear Maddow cheering that on, though); I guess some people will just never learn...
...and speaking of our current ruling cabal, Trevor Hayes of More Perfect Union investigated hundreds of Trump donors to “follow the money”...oh, and of course, Couch Boy doesn’t tell us that the reason Mango Mussolini went after Google was because #47’s account was suspended after the 1/6 insurrection...looks like our tech behemoths all gave Don The Con at least a mil each for #47’s inauguration because there aren’t any rules apparently on that sort of thing (at some point, assuming we turn things around, we’re going to have to put up so many guardrails in our federal government over the Gropenfuhrer’s excesses that it will be beyond belief, and the “R” party will be kicking and screaming every step of the way of course)...and oh yeah, it looks like the CFPB has been neutered under Pumpkin Pol Pot, just to let you know...report tells us about all of the tech giants (Google, Apple, Meta, etc.) making out like bandits under our current regime, including Apple’s exemptions from those beyond ridiculous tariffs (“a bribe with extra steps” indeed)...1 in 3 lawsuits brought by the government against Big Tech have been dropped by the regime of Dementia J. Trump...all the dough that supposedly went into #47’s inauguration might collectively be the biggest slush fund of all time...and $2 million for Chevron to operate in Venezuela, huh? Nah, Don The Con isn’t blowing up all of those boats and killing people without accountability for oil, huh? Not much he isn’t...and Boeing got in on the action too of course, since they needed legal cover what with their 737s falling out of the sky, resulting in mass casualties...as Hayes notes, all of this is only the tip of the metaphorical iceberg; we’ll likely never know about all of the people and various entities who paid off Our Treasonous Orange Pustule to get what they want...
...and for anyone in the “garden state” reading this, today is the day to vote for Mikie Sherrill for governor (more here)...
...and Canada responds to the Gropenfuhrer’s tariff increase over the “Saint Reagan” ad, courtesy of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert...sorry about the Blue Jays also, and kudos to Boyertown’s Trey Yesavage – they had a hell of a run...
...and happy 85th birthday to Delbert McClinton.
