Friday Stuff


Yasmin Khan of Rebel HQ tells us that Pumpkin Pol Pot has been ranting against windmills again, and as Khan says, this goes back once more to his hissy fit over windmills on Spray-Tan Satan’s golf course in Scotland...and yes, this also ties into his boneheaded attacks on the U.K. and drilling in the North Sea because EVERY DAMN THING HE DOES is transactional somehow; he can’t do anything to drive up the price of renewable energy, which is why he hates it so damn much (among other reasons I know), but he CAN drive up the price of dirty energy for sure...



..and Jesse Dollemore lets us know that Combover Caligula sent his DOJ goon Todd Blanche after the Southern Poverty Law Center, and if anybody out there somehow disagrees with Jesse’s assessment that the Repug Party is racist to its core (and moves like this show that), then you must also believe in cotton candy ponies and Jesus riding the dinosaurs (and I respectfully disagree with Jesse on Graham Platner, but I understand Jesse’s principled opposition – I think Platner made a dumb, youthful mistake, but I don’t think getting a Nazi tattoo then represents the type of person he is now, and Platner got rid of the tattoo)...and I would comment on the merits of the indictment against the SPLC if there WERE any merits in the indictment...and I would LOVE to know the racial and gender makeup of the grand jury that returned this indictment in Alabama, the state that sent that lummox Tommy Tuberville to the U.S. Senate (and MAY elect him as governor)...interesting background from Jesse about his time serving on a grand jury...



...and Thom Hartmann brings us the sorry tale of Texas and other southern states forcing public schools to post the Ten Commandments (here), according to the Fifth Circuit U.S. Appeals Court, destroying a SCOTUS precedent from 1980 (trying to extinguish the memory of Madalyn Murray O’Hair once and for all)...I didn’t know SecDef Kegseth was trashing Catholics, but that’s in line with the general behavior of our ruling regime of grifters and frauds...this also is the first I’ve heard of Cantaloupe Capone blowing up the Afghan resettlement program and dumping everyone in the Congo, but that figures also – yeah, good luck expecting anyone living in conflict areas to actually assist our military or diplomats ever again...and family members of our U.S. service members too??!! Including 400 kids??!!...



...and the Logical Leftist Jeff Waldorf gives us more details on PA’s U.S. Senator John Fetterman voting with Repugs to defeat a Senate war powers resolution requiring the Gropenfuhrer to seek congressional approval before conducting military operations against Iran (didn’t know the resolution had been introduced four times, with Fetterman opposing each time)...oh, and Fetterman also went on Fox Business to call the Dems’ response on the war “very disappointing”...oh, and OF COURSE there are now parallels between Fetterman and “Curtsy Kyrsten” Sinema, and except for Joe Manchin, I can’t think of a lower insult to hurl against a Senate Dem...I also knew that Conor Lamb has all but declared to primary Fetterman, but I didn’t know that Susan Wild may end up in that mix also...



...and I guess we couldn’t truly plummet to absurd new depths this week without this story about Alan Dershowitz; Kyle Kulinski informs us that “Dersh” has officially joined the “R” team...wonder what took him so long? Gee, I guess this means nobody on the Vineyard will sell him pierogies any more for certain...as Kyle sez, Dershowitz was one of Jeffrey Epstein’s lawyers...and given that Dershowitz actually wrote a column alleging that the age of consent laws are supposedly too HIGH, well, I would call that more than a bit of a “tell”...don’t let the door hit you, buddy (NSFW/H)...



...and Stephen Colbert of The Late Show lets us know that Don The Con will be attending the “nerd prom” tomorrow...apparently he’s going to hang around the WHCD just to give another hissy fit, make another speech full of lies and then leave like the petulant man-baby he truly is...not usually a cheerleader for the Murdoch Street Journal, but glad to see they’re going to get some kind of special mentions for the story about our *preznit’s “pube doodle” and that pic of him standing like a wooden Indian while somebody had a seizure in the Oval...and regarding the war with Iran, it sounds like each side is trying to close the Strait of Hormuz; I mean, that’s if you ACTUALLY BELIEVE the BS from our ruling regime, which I definitely don’t (this mess would be amusing if it weren’t for the fact that our military and other innocent lives are involved...and “shoot and kill any boat” – are there ANY ACTUAL ADULTS in this administration?)...and why the hell are we bailing out Spirit Airlines anyway?...also, I tried to avoid the story about Bobby Brainworms slicing off a dead raccoon’s penis, but sadly I was unable to do that...and oh yeah, “I’ve never been anti-vax,” huh? And I’ve never been a Caucasian either (#facepalm)...and “coked-out salmon” too? (and nice Biden bit as well)...



...and I know I mentioned what would have been Glen Campbell’s recent 90th birthday, and yesterday was the same milestone for Roy Orbison (I think the guitarist performing the solo was James Burton)...



...and RIP Dave Mason, who had great music careers with Traffic and as a solo artist.
