Mike Figueredo of The Humanist Report discusses U.S. allies watching in confusion as America self-immolates...yes, I know The Guardian is a center-left publication for sure (or maybe more left than that), but I have a hard time disagreeing with what Rebecca Solnit has to say...I think it’s irrefutable that #47 is a Russian operative since every damn thing that he ever does helps Putin, among other dictators...as Figueredo says, there’s a difference between what you could call the typical lies of a politician versus the outright hallucinations of the Tangerine Toddler (if this were an earlier era, I would expect Rod Serling to appear from a background and tell us that we were all in The Twilight Zone, but tragically, this is reality)...and that goes for Trumpette spokes-liar Karoline Leavitt also...and I’ll tell you what; I would suggest not listening to that fathead U.S. Senator Roger Marshall when it comes to Cantaloupe Capone vs. Biden on prices and would look to this instead, which looks like a wash overall at best for Dementia Donnie...and I don’t know who these people are who are getting a $1K-$1,500 rebate, but if you find anybody who qualifies, please let me know...and I have a feeling that I’ll be repeating this for-ev-ah, but BRONER BEELZEBUB WALKED AWAY FROM THE IRANIAN NUKE DEAL UNDER OBAMA, WHICH HAS A LOT TO DO WITH WHY WE’RE IN THIS MESS...I didn’t know that five doctors wrote to Congress and told those in charge to DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS NUTBALL!!...”The monkeys have taken over the zoo” sounds about right (and leave it to “Dr. Crudité” to let his boss off the hook over that beyond ridiculous “diet soda cures cancer” claim)...and damn right that the bipedal life forms who decided to give this pudding-brained buffoon another term in An Oval Office share culpability with this mess...and when it comes to Cheetoh Hitler and exporting energy (in response to Tim Scott), I would ask that you take a look at this (NSFW/H)...
...and continuing the theme of global instability caused by #47, Belle of the Ranch tells us about Canadian PM Mark Carney calling U.S. ties a “weakness”...Carney isn’t wrong about Mango Mussolini’s stinking tariffs and the last time they were raised to the level they are now (as in the Great Depression – Google Smoot-Hawley)...the Canadian PM also correctly says that the ruinous economic policies of Spray-Tan Satan are causing “uncertainty hanging over all of us” (and as Belle says, the markets HATE uncertainty, as do the rest of us)...I definitely give Belle points for her plain speaking in this particular clip, though she’s spot on that way in her others also...
...and sticking with global matters, Ana Kasparian of TYT talks about Naftali Bennett of Israel giving some speech saying, “Turkey is the new Iran” (and Bennett is supposed to be a “moderate”?)...what will it take for this country to proclaim Israel as a pariah state and cut off all support (maybe making an exception for humanitarian funding)...and yes, I know from a practical perspective what a monumentally heavy political “lift” that is, but that’s the direction where all of this is going...as Ana says, Israel is still butt-hurt over Turkey’s response to the Hamas attacks on Israel in October 2023 (suspending trade with Israel and denying Turkey’s air space to that country), so “Bibi” decides to pick a fight with Turkey, and that country responds by calling Netanyahu “the Hitler of our time,” and from where I sit, Turkey isn’t wrong (though I’ll admit that Turkey has indeed been awful to the Kurds, seeing as how Turkey believes the Kurds are responsible for “a decades-long insurgency”)...I’ll grant you that this is a complicated story, but when you’ve got two parties drowning in the blood of slaughtered populations, nobody has the moral high ground...
...and turning to domestic politics, Farron Cousins informs us that Repug politicians in the House and Senate are freaking out over the fact that their voters are nuts; I mean, that’s not a news flash to yours truly or likely you if you’re reading this I know...now that their political butts are on the line, it looks like some in the “party of Lincoln” are realizing that, damn, we have to actually deliver something to the people who voted for us instead of trying to arrest women trying to get abortions or making the lives of LGBTQ plus folks generally miserable (NSFW/H also)...
...and Jesse Dollemore talks about Don The Con pocketing $63 mil intended for his “library”...apparently, Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Richard Blumenthal (along with Dem U.S. House Rep Melanie Stansbury) have written a letter to the companies (ABC, Paramount, Meta and X) that supposedly donated to this slush fund for the Gropenfuhrer (and for a “library” that also doubles as a hotel...a “typical Trumpian twist” indeed)...the four companies in question responded as noted in the clip, but they didn’t get into details about the
...and RIP Moya Brennan of the Irish folk group Clannad, performing “I Will Find You” from “The Last Of The Mohicans” (a terrific film).
