Sunday Stuff

Jesse Dollemore tells us about CREW filing a complaint against “Curtsy Kyrsten” for spending in typical lavish fashion for herself on trips using campaign funds (apparently), which is an issue in part since she really didn’t campaign for her seat so she really doesn’t have an excuse to have the dough in the first place; even for Sinema, these charges are utterly disgusting as Jesse says and she should go to jail...more on Sinema and “President” Manchin “doing the deed” on Biden’s NLRB nominee is here (mildly NSFW/H)...



...and Belle (I guess that’s what she refers to herself as now – no issue on my end) tells us about the Gropenfuhrer actually being correct about getting rid of the damn debt ceiling...of course, we’re talking about a human being whose brain operates like a gnat on meth and I’m sure he’s already forgotten about this (#45/47 of course)...she’s right about the debt as a percentage of GDP and how that just about always goes up under Repug presidents and comes down when Dems occupy An Oval Office...by the way, we used to have something called the “Gephardt Rule” (named after this guy) which automatically raised the debt ceiling when the federal budget passed, but House Repugs got rid of it a few years ago (Dems in the House brought it back in 2019 with some modifications)...

...and John and Brett Erlich of The Damage Report tell us about Flori-DUUH! guv Ron #DeathSantis putting the kibosh, as it were, on a bill in his state to join a national compact which would allocate electoral votes based on the popular vote total (and as always, there’s a tweet involved from you-know-who, which actually made sense in terms of getting rid of the damn electoral college, but again, we’re talking about a guy whose brain is basically pudding at this point...I was thinking of #45/47, but maybe that applies to #DeathSantis too...and I refer to him that way because of his efforts to cover up COVID fatalities in the “sunshine state”)...



...and I know I’m a little behind the news cycle on this one, but I didn’t want to forget it; Seth Meyers gives us his take on DRONES!!! (more here)...I know it’s WAAAY too much to ask of our fourth estate to spend a fraction of their time obsessing about DRONES!! instead on the policy ramifications of what our incoming group of billionaire ne’er-do-wells plan to do to this country...and yeah, MAGA-loving Jeff Van Drew is acting like the utter man-baby he truly is on this issue (and OF COURSE he runs to Fix Noise with his idiotic theory about Iran sending drones I suppose to KILL US ALL!!! OMIGOD!!!)...



...and I've got a few more seasonal selections to go as we get ready for the big day.
