David Shuster of Rebel HQ talks about Trumpette Karoline Leavitt doing another pratfall when she's asked if the tariffs from her boss will cause a recession...and while I have myriad criticisms of Senate Dem “leader” Chuck Schumer, calling him a “Palestinian” (which isn’t even a valid criticism as far as I’m concerned, but consider the source) isn’t one of them (I realize we’re fully into this new timeline where, apparently, we’re not supposed to laugh in the face of the POTUS and not call him a stoo-pid POS)...”somebody drew a straight line through the U.S. and Canada many, many decades ago”...terrifying in a way to realize that probably about 77 million people last year said, “yeah, he’s the guy I want for president”...and I’m sure more people are trying to escape from here every day...
...and Kyle Kulinski discusses a “poll implosion” for Combover Caligula and King Elon I...Kyle goes over a bunch of data here about how quickly the “honeymoon” has soured for Bronzer Beelzebub, especially on the economy and also on foreign policy with picking these stoo-pid fights with Canada and Mexico...and I think a 39 percent approval rating on the economy is still way too damn high, but yeah, it remains a pretty sad number (and the number is even lower on foreign policy)...(NSFW/H)...
...and Farron Cousins lets us know about “MAGA Mike” Johnson getting trashed by his own voters mainly because of proposed cuts to Medicaid (1 in 4 of Johnson’s constituents need it) and SNAP, otherwise known as food stamps (1 in 5 of his constituents need that), according to an NBC News report (wonder why it took this mess to get people to wake the hell up, but alas, we are where we are)...
...and Leeja Miller brings us the following; our democracy is fragile, indeed...she presents a recap of how our allies are turning on us, and rightly so, over our beyond-ridiculous tariffs, along with King Elon’s plummeting values of his crappy Tesla vehicles...have to admit that I didn’t know that the prez was exempt from the Hatch Act, though there are other ways to hold our chief executive to account...and yes, it does appear that the primary means of enforcing ethics and legality in the Oval Office are under the purview of the executive, and it’s up to Congress to carry forward on impeachment of course, but after Combover Caligula, maybe we ought to find a way to redesign that arrangement, and no, I don’t know how exactly at the moment...also, I know Sam Seder, to his credit, had that roundtable with all of these wingnuts, but to be honest, I don’t want to validate the opinions of these numbskulls by commenting on their moronic observations (definitely not a comment on Seder)...and yeah, as far as I’m concerned, so much of our current misery can indeed be traced back to Citizens United, as Miller states at about 16:07, not just because of equating money with speech to a greater degree than ever before, but also because of the type of people who ended up in government and how they governed, basically, by ignoring everyone else who wasn’t a millionaire like they are...”The American dream is truly the ultimate cult” indeed...NSFW/H also...
...and John Russell of More Perfect Union visits America’s poorest counties in West Virginia devastated by flooding (and of course, there’s a media blackout...I’m genuinely sorry these people are dealing with all of this misery, and on the one hand, I cannot for the life of me understand why they would vote for ANY Republican, but on the other hand, this state was allegedly represented by Joe Manchin in the U.S. Senate, and he obviously didn’t do jack sh*t for them)...and of course, Our Ochre Abomination blames FEMA but has no proposed solution, for these people or anyone else who isn’t part of the “one percent” (and leave it to Cantaloupe Capone to approve emergency relief for only 4 of the 13 affected counties)...yeah, leave it also to the states to solve this, even though there’s $0 in West Virginia’s emergency management fund – what a cunning plan! (mildly NSFW/H as well)...
...and Happy St. Patrick's Day, lest I forget to mention that.
