Friday Stuff


Jesse Dollemore tells us about Marjorie Traitor Greene “screwing the (metaphorical) pooch,” if you will, when asked about Vlad The Butcher (NSFW/H)...yeah, let’s just ask Emmy Lou and Jim Bob down at the Piggly Wiggly what they think of RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA, but not lil’ ol’ MEEEE of course...to do something about her at long last, click here (primary is 5/21)...



(Any by the way, concerning Marge’s “partner in crime” Bo-Bo Boebert, I’m staying away from anything having to do with Boebert’s son and all of the charges he faces, which sound pretty bad...allegedly of course. I hope he gets whatever just desserts may be coming his way, as well as restitution as much as possible for the alleged victims. However, I think it’s wrong to involve underage family members in this stuff...and I know Boebert is 18...unless they come looking for a fight of course. And I would feel that way if we were talking about President Obama’s daughters, Chelsea Clinton, or Dubya’s daughters or Barron Trump...I remember some of the vile stuff about Chelsea Clinton from the '90s, which I thought was particularly gutless, and I swore I’d never sink so low...I honestly don’t think I have. So, I’m going to do my best to not include anything on Tyler Boebert...just letting you know in advance.)

...and speaking of gutless, it looks like that U.S. House coward Tim Burchett of Tennessee falsely accused a man named Denton Loudermill of being a shooter in the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl victory parade, and then Burtchett smugly used the occasion to try and dress down the “Tennessee Holler” guy who rightly called out Burchett over it (with Rick Strom of TYT also)...



Update 3/27/24: Good.

...and Mike Figueredo of The Humanist Report tells us about Repug U.S. Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith of Mississippi, who apparently thinks supporting the commendable bill from Dem U.S. Senator Tammy Duckworth of Illinois on IVF means that this country will turn into “The Island of Dr. Moreau,” or something (“human animal chimeras”??? WHAAAAA?????!!! NSFW/H)...



...and in case you want MORE evidence of pointless cruelty from the “party of Lincoln,” Farron Cousins is here to tells us that the Repugs in charge of primarily southern and western states want to see kids starve, saying no to basically free federal dollars for nutrition, while Biden fights for more $$ against childhood hunger (about $10 billion total)...



...and I think we need to be reminded periodically of individuals who helped grease the skids, you might say, to put us on a path where we’re all enduring terminal late-stage capitalism, and one of the most notorious figures IMO is former Nixon Solicitor General (and, fortunately, defeated SCOTUS Justice nominee) Robert Bork – Robert Reich tell us about Bork...yep, he was big into anti-trust, which sounds nice, but Bork had to be reminded, frequently, about the ever-expanding power of corporations...cutting prices to cut out competition, cutting wages also (neither of which Bork cared about of course)...and with just about anything putrid in our politics, you can draw a line right back to The Sainted Ronnie R (more here)...



...and happy 80th birthday to Roger Daltrey (and kudos to Daltrey and Pete Townshend of The Who for this).
