I realize this CBC News report was filmed before last Tuesday’s elections, but I still think it contains some cautionary information about what Democratic U.S. House and Senate majorities can and can’t do in response to Mango Mussolini (yep...great that Dems will have congressional control, but I’m sure we can now expect a festival of executive orders also in response, unfortunately)...
...and Tennessee Brando lets us know that the blame game has begun, though Secretary of WOOOAAARRR Kegseth wasn’t the first to get canned in the wake of Tuesday’s blue tsunami; that would be Susie Wiles (and before we think Our Treasonous Orange Pustule is actually mad at Baby Goebbels because of something Melania supposedly said, I should note that he got Wiles’s job as White House Chief of Staff)...I think Brando is right that #47 will never face incarceration either, sadly, though Kegseth should for certain because of the wanton murder of those men on the boats near Ecuador (here) as Brando points out (thought I don’t mean to absolve Cantaloupe Capone for that), along with those Iranian schoolgirls...great that we have Dem governors in every swing state, and I read that every single Repug U.S. House Rep representing a district Kamala Harris won in ’24 (including Bri-Fi) lost last Tuesday...and I can’t tell you how utterly sweet it is to hear the words “John Fetterman no longer matters”...I agree with Brando’s take that impeachment for Don The Con could actually backfire and the “one by one” approach towards going after the cretins in Trumpworld might be the better way to go (NSFW/H)...
...and Farron Cousins lets us know that a big part of MAGA doesn’t seem to get what happened last Tuesday...yes, the Iran war is a big part of this, but there are PLENTY of other reasons, including the economy (along with the stinking tariffs) and the corruption (and indeed, hold that lickspittle Mark Levin up for ridicule for shilling for #47’s Not-So-Excellent Iranian adventure, along with Baby Ben Shapiro)...I think Cousins is basically right about foreign policy never being the #1 issue in a campaign, though it’s pretty high on the list...didn’t know the exact number of jobs lost under Trump 2.0, but 1.1 million is pretty damn bad for sure...
...and Josh Gay of Ring of Fire tells us that Plano, Texas just rejected a bid for public financing to the tune of $700 million for a new arena for the Dallas Stars NHL hockey club and owner Tom Gaglardi (and I definitely share his opinion of Fenway Park FWIW)...also, about $250 million has been diverted from schools for this, which is even more disgusting IMO (corporate welfare indeed)...I honestly don’t know if the Stars hockey team is publicly financed in any way (I suspect they aren’t; one example of a publicly financed team is the Green Bay Packers), but any sports franchise that takes public dough should be structured in such a way that fans could be part owners – they should reap that benefit if their money is part of the deal...
...and the Onion News Network asks Why Hasn’t Abdul El-Sayed achieved any of his campaign goals after winning two minutes ago...I’m not laughing too much over this (even though I definitely get the point) because this is pretty close to what Fix Noise, OAN, America’s Voice and wingnut media generally might end up saying anyway in all seriousness...
...and I haven’t seen any U.S. tour dates for this guy in this area including Philly or NYC (focusing on the UK and the EU for now it seems), but I’ll update this post if I find out anything on that.
