Monday Stuff


I guess I’m supposed to feel sorry for these truck drivers who apparently now have buyer’s remorse now that the Gropenfuhrer has found a way for them to pay more in taxes, but naaah…as somebody else online said, the tiny violin factory is closed – these guys were apparently fine with all of the “lock her up” garbage, threats of violence at Trump’s little Bund rallies, making fun of not just a Gold Star family but John McCain, another patriotic American who had more courage in his hangnail than Our Treasonous, Tiny-Handed Orange Dictator has in his entire flabby corpus, to say nothing of caging children, tearing families apart, the Muslim ban, the "fine people on both sides" tiki-torch crowd insanity, and the never-ending lies that stream out of Number 45’s mouth…all of that was apparently OK with these “Trump’s America” numbskulls, but in the end, all they cared about was how much they got to keep in their wallets (more here)…



…and keeping with money matters, yeah, this economic “analysis” is about what you can expect from our low-IQ flatulent biped of a chief executive (Ana Kasparian discusses with Brooke Thomas and Steve Bramucci)…



…and I knew longtime Repug fixer William Barr was a POS already, but he sure drove that point home with this comment…



…and speaking of political demagoguery, yesterday marked the 65th anniversary of Joseph Welch’s brave commentary in defense of the U.S. Army against “Tail Gunner Joe” McCarthy (more here…and let’s not forget Roy Cohn’s link to Generalissimo Trump also)…



…and as far as I’m concerned, Welch’s timeless, courageous words could also apply to Claire McCaskill based on this clip, with the gender adjusted of course – I couldn’t figure out how she could actually lose last year to an unctuous, lying fraud like Josh Hawley, but it’s becoming clearer every day (I think Michael Brooks absolutely nails it here, though the whole panel is good also)…



Update 6/14/19: Gee, ya' think McCaskill could have done a better job of warning us just how full-tilt, Gonzo nuts Hawley really was? (here).

...and now, time for a whopping great intermission - and yeah, you guessed that that's an obscure Monty Python reference, didn't you?
