Tuesday Stuff

Farron Cousins informs us here that about 40% of King Elon’s DOGE cuts won’t actually save any $$ since the funds have already been paid...”just say ‘oops’ and yet out,” you numbskulls...and when you’re talking about the federal budget, $4-5 billion doesn’t even count as small change...



...and apparently the Gropenfuhrer is going to give a Not-Really-State-Of-The-Union-But-Yeah-Let’s-Pretend-It-Is address tonight, and Jesse Dollemore discusses putting pressure on Dems to stand up against fascism in response...and there aren’t too many in our establishment media I would take seriously at this point, but Jamelle Bouie is one of them...not that it matters one bit I realize, but here is what I’d do; I would have said publicly in advance that King Elon I should reinstate the employees he fired as a result of his DOGE purge and I would also say to Trump that DOGE needs to go completely, and if not, no Dems will not attend, which guarantees that Dems won’t attend because there isn’t a snowball’s chance in hell of our ruling cabal of treasonous demagogues actually backing down... actually, I think Ron Wyden is the only Dem handling this the right way as noted here...



...and oh look, another Repug is running and hiding from constituents, as Brian Tyler Cohen tells us, and this time it’s U.S. Senator Roger Marshall from Kansas, who decides to cut and run when asked a question about veterans’ benefits...yeah, all of those protesting at town halls are Dem ‘”crisis actors”; uh huh... just keep telling yourself that and watch what happens in the next election...and of course, since we’re talking about Repug wingnuttery, it’s almost a legal requirement to include Marjorie Trailer Park Greene (who, by the way, is also an employee of the federal government...what a moron)...and great job by MSNBC - I guess it was them - to include that clip of the fired federal employees...and yeah, the “Free Beacon” is such an objective news source...yeah – tell me when the spaceship lands, OK? (NSFW/H)...



...and to point out just how crazy the “party of Lincoln” has become, David Pakman gives us some clips of Repugs refusing to admit that Russia invaded Ukraine...not just Trump SecDef Pete Hegseth, but this Mike Waltz character and of course Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma (I’m surprised Mullin didn’t take his coat off and threaten Kristen Welker, since that seems to be par for the course with him)...and I think Pakman is spot-on in saying that the wingnuts can’t say Russia started it because, if they did, then all of the Repug posturing over the war doesn’t make any sense (and it doesn’t anyway of course, but I’m talking here about spin and perception from the “R” team, not verifiable truth and reality...oh, and speaking of Hegseth, there is also this)...



...and I realize our august corporate media doesn’t care about the impact of the USAID cuts outside of our country, but fortunately the CBC from our neighbors to the north does, and they report on how Bronzer Beelzebub’s freeze has worsened suffering in the world’s largest refugee camp in Bangladesh, though, to be fair, funding has fallen off also from other nations as the report tells us (have to include this from a foreign source also because our domestic media won’t cover it for fear of offending Dear Orange Leader)...



...and I don’t suppose it’s possible to bring the resources together for a “Concert for Bangladesh 2” or something to try and help those profiled in the previous clip...I’m old enough to remember when we once did that, yielding the following great tune in the process.

Monday Stuff

(This, now and always, is my message to Trump supporters, with this in mind.)

(Oh, and by the way, are we tired of all the winning yet?)

Brian Tyler Cohen gives us a clip of British PM Keir Starmer acting like a leader of a free industrialized nation is SUPPOSED to act, demonstrating solidarity with Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelenskyy, which obviously was a bridge WAAY too far for Our Demented Orange Toddler of a *president...and I probably should have pointed out earlier that this utter catastrophe between Zelenskyy and Combover Caligula with Couch Boy was indeed planned, but I was probably still too enraged to process that fact, to be honest (NSFW/H)...



...and David Pakman tells us that Our Ochre Abomination is the most unpopular prez in 70 years according to a Gallup and a WP/Ipsos poll...and I think Pakman is exactly right about the media “sane washing” to keep our Demented Orange Toddler from having another of his legendary hissy fits...Pakman’s analysis of independent media is spot-on also; not saying we have to go charging out and financially support every single content creator out there, but only as our means allows...



...and Leeja Miller informs us that the MAGA backlash has begun (better late than never I guess)...and when even “Running Man” Josh Hawley and Steve freaking Bannon of all people tell “MAGA Mike” Johnson that cutting Medicaid is a bridge too far, I would say that that advice should be heeded...and I know I’ve said this before, but I’ll say it again with utter cowards like Bri-Fi in mind; you were ostensibly elected to do the people’s business, and the LEAST you can do is make yourself accountable to the folks you allegedly represent and FREAKING SHOW UP IN PERSON TO ANSWER QUESTIONS!!! And I also believe that boycotts are important, but as stated, they need to be targeted with precise actions in order to be effective, and Miller is 150 percent correct in that it takes continual acts of resistance, with sometimes little victories and big defeats, as the song goes (sources for her video are here...NSFW/H also)...



...and Kyle Kulinski informs us that Bronzer Beelzebub has apparently decided to kill 115K infrastructure jobs (in the CHIPS Act) to spite Biden...I honestly didn’t know that that orange sh*tgibbon offshored 200K jobs during his first term, something else those clueless election losers at the DNC failed to point out last year...kudos also to Kyle for pointing out again how #47 sold the employees at Carrier down the river (NSFW/H as well)...



...and Tennessee Brando tells us how the fine folks in the “green mountain state” told Couch Boy what they thought of him during his recent ski trip...and as I watched this about Combover Caligula picking totally extreme individuals for his cabinet, all I could think of was all the times our beyond useless corporate media would chide Presidents Obama and Biden for not reaching out to Repugs, even though Obama tapped Robert Gates for SecDef; not sure who was Republican in Biden’s cabinet (if anyone), but more importantly, I’m not hearing a freaking word from “the old gray lady” or the Bezos WaPo about #47 bringing a Dem on board in a similar role...and Brando may be right about Vance when all is said and done, which is awful, but this is indeed all part of a sinister, disgusting plan (another NSFW/H clip...basically, put on your headphones for everything except Pakman and the next video...and a typical response from The Roger Ailes BS Factory is here)...



...and RIP David Johansen, who most notably was the front man for the New York Dolls...I never quite knew where the joke began and ended with the whole Buster Poindexter thing, assuming there even was a joke to it – with that in mind, I present this tune.
