Monday Stuff


OK, I’m back and I’m going to get this thing going again...stop me if you’ve heard this before (and I’m sure you have), but the Gropenfuhrer hired a preferred contractor to do some work that got totally screwed up (and who likely won’t get paid anyway), and this time it involves the reflecting pool at the Lincoln Memorial (I realize I’m behind the news cycle on this a bit, but I still think it needs to be pointed out)...this report from the CBC News gives us more background...it looks like we have peeling paint and algae bubbling to the surface, which is a strangely apt metaphor for this regime as far as yours truly is concerned...oh, and someone with a sharp eye pointed out that, in that fifth-grade-looking poster board that Cantaloupe Capone held up in that press gaggle, #47 didn’t include the antenna on top of the Sears Tower (I think that’s what it’s called) in Chicago, probably out of spite to make it look shorter...the whole D.C. landscape, which is pretty much sunk in a basin, makes it extremely difficult to keep various substances from bubbling to the surface; there would have to be layers of probably sandstone and rock to keep the algae out, and I realize that studying the issue to that level of detail is beyond the grasp of the Tangerine Toddler (a completely predictable update is here, and it looks like Jonathan Karl of ABC News got his hand dirty on this issue based on this)...



...and Belle of the Ranch tells us about Dementia J. Trump telling people he’s king...with respect to Belle, I don’t give Roger Wicker credit for a damn thing; saying the supposed deal ending #47’s Not-So-Excellent Adventure in Iran is contrary to the *preznit’s goals or whatever is slathering perfume on the proverbial pig big time...and of course, Bill Cassidy is on his way out, so that means he can actually tell the truth according to their unwritten Repug rules of subservience I suppose...I don’t know much about this Jay Clayton guy who’s been nominated as the new DNI to take the place of “Tokyo Rose” Gabbard, but I’m sure I’ll find out (typical for this regime to nominate a mediocre white man to replace a woman in this administration)...and “I’m the president, and you’re not”? So what – we’ve got “Chevy Chase” Trump now? I also like Belle’s “Scooby Doo” metaphor here – “I’d have defeated Iran if it weren’t for those meddling kids”...definitely glad to hear Belle draw a line here from those cowardly Repugs acting like they have a spine at last to those same lickspittles having voting for the Big Beautiful Clusterf*ck...”the pushback isn’t out of principle – it’s out of political necessity” indeed...



...oh, and did you know that unemployment funds from the feds distributed to states (especially those with “Democrat” governors) are being fraudulently siphoned off to go to criminal gangs? Well, living in the world of reality, I didn’t know that either, probably because that’s not an actual “thing,” but in the demented musings of Trumpist Labor Secretary pick Keith Sonderling, that is taking place, which is another reason to disqualify this knucklehead (more here)...



...and I honestly try to not fill up this space too much with every stoo-pid thing that Our Ochre Abomination says or does, but I thought this was worthy of mention, with Don The Con blabbing that Italian PM Giorgia Meloni allegedly begged to have a photo taken with him, and #47 went along with it because he felt ”sorry for her” (once more, this supposedly big, strong man talks down to or tries to make fun of a woman)...I also think it needs to be emphasized yet again how Combover Caligula treats our allies versus our enemies (and I know there’s more than a little gray area there), as Meloni pointed out so accurately...and oh yeah, our Pretender-In-Chief abuses our allies with impunity, but yells his spoiled baby head off when they don’t step in to try and fix his mistakes, which are legion (including the mess in the Strait of Hormuz)...I think “total deference – zero accountability” as noted by Brian Tyler Cohen pretty much says it...



...and Seth Meyers gives us “A Closer Look” at the reflecting pool idiocy..Cheetoh Hitler rambles incoherently once more like a brain-added octogenarian (and not all octogenarians are brain-addled, I wish to emphasize)...also, I actually think the term “unbelievable makeover” for the Lincoln Memorial pool is pretty accurate since it sure is unbelievable all right...and what would another screwup by Pumpkin Pol Pot be without the hyenas from Fix Noise cheering him on and ridiculing “the left” and saying “oh, it’s really the fault of the Dem haters who want to see our *preznit fail” – uh, no...our side lives in the world of actual reality, as opposed to you assclowns...and dumping peroxide into the water to kill the algae blooms? Yeah, that will last as a fix for this mess at exactly half past never...



...and RIP Walter Parazaider of Chicago.
