Thursday Stuff


Gee, I wonder what kind of new ways Kevin McCarthy will be embarrassed today after losing six votes thus far for election as the U.S. House Speaker (here); David Pakman tells us more...



Update 1: I guess seven wasn't the lucky number (here).

Update 2: So we'll have to wait to hear about Number 10 (and beyond?) I suppose (here).

...and I think Jesse Dollemore is a little kinder here to that ridiculous fraud George Santos than I would be, but that’s OK; Santos should have known what to expect with this gig when he was running for it (mildly NSFW/H)...



...and Farron Cousins tells us that somebody made the decision to remove metal detectors put in place before entering the House chamber after the 1/6 insurrection, with that fool Boebert of course crowing about it...I guess that was more of a priority than, y’know, ACTUALLY ELECTING A SPEAKER! (NSFW/H also)...



...and John and Jayar of The Damage Report tell us about a wingnut dustup in where else but Flori-DUUUH!, with somebody named Matt Tito (a pal of Roger Stone – first sign of trouble) accusing Rep Anna Paulina Luna of being a witch...yep, the MAGA crowd keeps plummeting to new depts all right, offering nothing but performative nonsense...



Update 3: Way too damn funny (here)...

...and Robert Reich tells us the dirty little secret on corporate profits, and that is how they’re just about NEVER factored into the equation when considering the root causes of inflation (and I knew Jim Cramer was a POS, but this clip proves it even more)...



...and President Nixon announced the space shuttle program 50 years ago today (here)...here is a tune for the occasion.
