Wednesday Stuff
Well, I don’t think the events of the first day of Republican U.S. House “governance” should have been a surprise, with Kevin McCarthy not winning enough votes after three tries in his attempt to be elected Speaker, as Jesse Dollemore tells us (mildly NSFW/H - more here...and as I alluded to yesterday, leave it to Dan Crenshaw to continue flogging this UTTERLY RIDICULOUS BUT COMPLETELY TYPICAL LIE!!! about “87,000 IRS agents” – the reality perspective on this is here)...
Update: Will this clown show ever end? (here).
...and Farron Cousins tells us about a story from The Hill about Repugs freaking out over losing younger voters by about 65 percent (favoring Team D) to 35 percent (favoring Team R) - shouldn't be hard to figure out by anyone possessing a bare minimum of gray matter on this stuff...
...and Sam, Emma and the Majority Report crew tell us about Repug Utah Sen. Mike Lee complaining to Larry Kudlow about Republicans being “emasculated” in the omnibus spending bill that just passed...and notice the complete lack of specificity about “tax hikes,” as well as the stuff about the bill allegedly being “negotiated in secret,” a particularly stoo-pid claim from Lee since Sen. Mr. Elaine Chao said here the spending bill here was “a victory for the GOP” (bringing to mind this post once more)..maybe Lee ought to try talking to the head of his party before he goes whining to the media...
...and Mike Figueredo tells us that Our Ochre Abomination blamed the anti-abortion nuts for the ’22 midterm losses...I think there’s a kernel of truth to that believe it or not, but of course Trump’s “mirror” reflects everyone but himself, particularly given the fact that he and #MoscowMitch got the 3 wingnut justices confirmed who made the difference on that issue (mildly NSFW/H)...
...and John and Elise Joshi of The Damage Report discuss some life form in Mississippi who burned a cross in his front yard near the home of an African American couple...and yes, this is indeed 2023, not 1923...
...and I guess this is my first “relationship” video for 2023, even though the tune is from last year...oh well.
