So Elon Musk has bought Twitter...it’s amazing all of the issues that we could have gone a long way to fix on this planet with $44 billion instead, but no...another billionaire has to throw money around instead and try to prove to the world what an “influencer” he is (can’t think of a woman in this category, though I have a feeling they’re out there...and yeah, I would bet that the biggest change will be more ways to monetize the platform, which of course will eventually kill it, along with the return of Mango Mussolini...he’ll be back too I’m sure...mildly NSFW/H)...
...and Trevor Noah of The Daily Show tells us about the recent testimony of that utter loon Marjorie Taylor Greene, in which she claimed “I don’t remember” over 50 times as noted here (such pathetic weasels – that goes for the whole sorry Trumpist lot of them...oh, but when one of her tweets was introduced into evidence, then SUDDENLY she recalled what they were talking about...uh huh...good impression of Our Tiny-Handed Orange Would-Be Dictator by Noah, I have to admit...and good stuff here too from Jimmy Kimmel)...
...and speaking of Our Treasonous Orange Pestilence, Farron Cousins tells us how #45 is using his MAGA PAC to pay his legal fees...lather, rinse, repeat (and of course, the way PACS work is that there’s nothing legally wrong with Combover Caligula doing that – heckuva job, High Court of Hangin’ Judge JR over Citizens United)...
...and Mehdi Hasan interviews Dem U.S. House Rep Ruben Gallego of Arizona about the Dems needing to show some guts and (and boy, is this ever a damn recording!) having to FIX THEIR DAMN MESSAGING for the elections later this year...kudos to Gallego for bringing some fight to this discussion, but somehow I don’t think anybody gives a damn about Dennis Hastert any more (though they should of course)...I’ve said this I don’t know how many damn times already and I don’t know how many MORE times I’ll have to say it – do polling among your base voters to drive turnout, figure out what they care about (and maybe try NOT sneaking in a money pitch for a change...and by the way, that polling should have happened LONG BEFORE NOW), and then address those issues with policy proposals...try getting AHEAD OF THE DAMN CURVE on this stuff so the Dems actually AREN’T prone to BS Repug and wingnut media attacks later on that drive the narrative the wrong way (and I hope Gallego saves some fire for one of the two biggest culprits when it comes to congressional obstruction from his own state)...
...and turning to Vlad The Butcher and the Ukraine horror show, Ali Velshi tells us about the Russian oligarchs who have come to bad ends (and their families too in some cases, horrifically enough) under Russia’s utterly mad leader (as well as others, including journalists of course)...
...and I feel like I need something to chill out a little, and Nat is just about always “what the doctor ordered” when I'm trying to do that.
