Part of me wants to completely ignore these evangelical numbskulls who hope that Jehovah is getting ready to “rapture” them up to the great beyond now that their Orange Leader has joined the U.S. in Israel’s war against Iran, but on second thought, I know attention must be paid...this Drenda Keesee person sees our latest Mideast war as the fulfillment of their vision of the second coming, or something...I believe we’ll all have to make an accounting for ourselves one day, and while I readily admit that I have work to do on that score, I wouldn’t want to be in the shoes of this faux spiritual frauds for anything (especially because of this)...
...and Brittany Page discusses Repug U.S. Senator Jon Husted of Ohio, who just said that people living in poverty don’t know how to navigate the real world, or some such nonsense, which is completely typical for his party of course...actually, the best way to get back at this assclown is to donate to the campaign of Sherrod Brown, who is running to return to office and boot Husted out...and yeah, this line from Husted that someone on SNAP doesn’t know how to budget is both ignorant and insulting (yet another hypothetical person Husted claims to have met – no info on this individual of course because I’m sure this person doesn’t exist)...that table from the CBPP makes it pretty clear that a family of 2 is going to have a pretty damn difficult time trying to get by on $370 a month...also telling that 40-60 percent of those in poverty have jobs, but in our end-stage capitalist economy, those wages by themselves aren’t enough...
...and Farron Cousins tells us about retiring Repug U.S. Senator Joni (“We’re All Going To Die One Day”) Ernst contorting herself to somehow find a way to blame Democrats for her party’s dismal electoral fortunes...and of course, expecting Trey Gowdy, of all people, to ask a serious question is utterly delusional (good job by Cousins to call out that little “we” tell on himself in Gowdy’s softball to Ernst)...and here is still another corporate media example (about 3,624 at least by my count) of Democrats supposedly being obligated to reach out to Repugs based on Ernst’s nonsense (and why the hell should they EVER do that?), when it is NEVER EVER the other way around (and ESPECIALLY since the Repugs run the entire federal government thanks to the dunderheaded stoo-pidity of too damn many voters in 2024...briefly NSFW/H)...
...and David Shuster of Rebel HQ lets us know that it looks like MAGA Mike Johnson now has a majority of three seats after CA Repug U.S. House Rep Kevin Kiley became an independent...and I suppose I should give Rand Paul credit for talking about what is likely to transpire this fall (though we all need to work to make that happen of course), but I don’t want to hear this “kinetic action” crap...ANOTHER Republican *preznit has launched ANOTHER war of choice in the Middle East, so let’s call it what the hell it is, OK?...and I’m not sure that “if we lose the majority in the House, it’s the end of the Trump presidency” is such a great rallying cry for Not Your Father’s Republican Party...also, the prospect of deploying ground troops to Iran is absolutely sickening, especially since that nation is getting help from China and Russia; this is exactly what “Bibi” wants, so as far as I’m concerned, he can get the IDF to do that...here’s my theory on all of this; who else remembers when Cheetoh Hitler said that we would take over Gaza after it was pretty much glassed by Israel? Well, as far as I’m concerned, Netanyahu wouldn’t have gone along with that unless there was something else in the deal, and I think our involvement in the war against Iran was that “something else”...and oil over $100 a barrel with a fifth of the world’s tanker traffic stalled is what I believe Cantaloupe Capone will be paying attention to (as much as he pays attention to anything) more than any other aspect of this war...
...and Stephen Colbert brings us up to date on the latest developments...so lemme guess; to coin a phrase, according to Bronzer Beelzebub, “war is over if you want it”; yeah, I’ll believe that at exactly half past never for our ruling gaggle of idiots, unfortunately...I give Stephen credit for trying to be entertaining about this; forcing Iran to watch the “Melania” movie, though, is truly cruel and unusual punishment...and gee, our “Secretary of War” Kegseth sure is a spendthrift on the taxpayer dime, isn’t he? So, supposedly, he set about $93 billion on fire over nonsense (as well as $225 million on new furniture) while much of this country goes without healthcare and community hospitals, as well as government services wrecked by DOGE and a completely collapsing economy...I’d like to find a way to put this clip on Linkedin so all of the folks trying to find employment can see how this regime truly expects them to “let them eat cake,” for lack of a better way to put it (no wonder Mango Mussolini got rid of all of the Inspectors General so nobody would be able to keep track of this)...and oh yeah, you’d better wear the “man shoes” to the upcoming Mar-a-Lago soiree, or you’ll be on the next flight to CECOT I suppose...
...and on this day in music history, Paul McCartney and Linda Eastman were married, London cops conducted a raid on the home of George Harrison and Patti Boyd for pot, and John Lennon (who I referenced in that quote above about war) and Harry Nillson were thrown out of the Troubadour club in LA for heckling Tommy Smothers...it’s also the 78th birthday of James Taylor, so I’d like to commemorate all of this with a Beatles’ cover tune.
