OK, so before anybody gets all “oh, Sen. Mr. Elaine Chao was a ‘middle-of-the road’ Repug” (spoiler alert: they don’t exist), let us NEVER forget how he completely blew up the filibuster, fought campaign finance reform tirelessly until Citizens United, and fronted for Our Ochre Abomination while they both utterly polluted our courts with wingnut ideologues, including the SCOTUS (and the infamous example below has to do with the ongoing effort from Tangerine Palpatine and his minions to destroy our democracy, which that U.S. Senate death eater from Kentucky doesn’t care about preserving either...more here, here and here)...
...and when it comes to our utterly corrupt High Court of Hangin’ Judge JR, Chris Hayes tells us that these nine frauds in robes (well, 6 at least) have decided to hear Combover Caligula’s claim that he’s immune from being held liable for trying to lay waste to our democracy and should be allowed on the ballots in this year’s presidential election...I don’t know if this is worse than Bush v. Gore as Hayes says, but it stinks to high freaking heaven all right (“delay is all that matters,” indeed)...a four-year-old child can see that #45 is guilty as hell, but it’s all about making sure he has another shot at An Oval Office from his Trumpist lickspittles (Gorsuch, “I Like Beer” Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Island Baby Barrett) – hard to come up with the words about how vile and repugnant this is...
...and Trae Crowder gives us his take on Our Treasonous Orange Pestilence underperforming in Michigan, along with the “uncommitted” Biden voters in response to Israel/Gaza...#46 is going to have to come up with something to try and get these people back into the fold (gee...maybe a cease fire and banning all weapon sales to Israel for starters, maybe??), and I agree with Crowder when it comes to the question of the “greater good” (support Biden to keep out you-know-who), but “Dark Brandon” should have seen this coming (NSFW/H)...and “surge pricing” from Wendy’s??? Are they serious???...
...and speaking of the carnage in Gaza, it’s taken me a day or two to get around to the Aaron Bushnell story I know, but better late than never I guess (David Doel explains)...GREAT discussion of how some journo outlets are a little more up front in the headline on the cause of the self-immolation (i.e., Russia) but much less so when an “ally” is the subject of the protest (i.e., Israel)...and yeah, “Mrs. Greenspan” definitely didn’t cover herself in glory either for the reasons Doel and the X/Twitter person point out...and kudos to CNN for getting the reporting right on this, which is a bit surprising, but good for them (and the thing with Biden and the ice cream cone was indeed a bit odd, but I’m not going to get exercised over it)...
...and John of The Damage Report brings us the story of an ad by CA Dem guv Gavin Newsom about Tennessee not wanting women in that state to leave and get the healthcare they need (with Danielle Moodle, who makes GREAT points in her commentary...and yeah, we're about in the world of "The Handmaid's Tale" for sure here)...
...and from what I can tell about this trial involving Don Henley and the lyrics to some songs from “Hotel California,” it looks like the person contracted to publish a bio on the band took some liberties with material implicitly understood to belong to the band and not the book author, but what do I know about this stuff (here)...kind of put me in the mind to hear this tune.
Update 3/6/24: Well OK, then.
