Tuesday Stuff

Jesse Dollemore brings us the sordid business of Trumpist demonic apparition Stephen Miller lying as per usual at a recent White House press briefing...so much idiotic nonsense that it’s truly hard to unpackage it to point out how ridiculous it is, which is completely by design of course...Miller is trying to recreate his own demented version of the Hitler Jugend, in case we hadn’t somehow picked up on that already...and in one breath, Miller says states must teach his brown shirt version of history while also saying that this ruinous regime wants to shut down the DOE...and as Jesse says, Miller really needs to re-learn how to “catapult the propaganda” since Communism is pretty much dead in the developed world...and as always, this garbage is dressed up in the guise of ”safety” and “security”...also, I know Miller can’t provide an example of conservatives and “people of faith” being targeted because IT’S ISN’T FREAKING HAPPENING, VAMPIRE BOY! (and I agree with Jesse; show me ONE FREAKING PERSON in our ruling cabal of grifters and lowlifes who has ANY ACTUAL MERIT WHATSOEVER – slightly NSFW/H)...



...and “The Daily Show” offers the following take on Miller, otherwise known as “Grossferatu” (slightly NSFW/H)...



...and David Pakman tells us about Miller’s boss threatening to use the Insurrection Act to send troops to the southern border at a particularly unhinged cabinet briefing in which he took questions from the press (and no, he cannot do that either...”if this isn’t authoritarianism, I don’t know what is” indeed)...



...and this report from the CBC tells us about that particularly stoo-pid 25% tariff going into effect for Canada, but apparently most Canadian auto parts are exempt as well as those under the CUSMA...I think the whole point of this idiocy is to make people give up trying to figure out what’s going on – typical shell game for a con man like Our Ochre Abomination...



...and sticking with money matters, Jayar Jackson of Rebel HQ discusses the MAGA response to rising prices, particularly on eggs with Screechy Maria Bartiromo...darkly funny in a way for this farmer to talk about being supported by the Inflation Reduction Act, but OF COURSE he doesn’t give any credit to the president who was responsible for getting the act signed into law; I hope he doesn’t lose his farm, but when you support Pumpkin Pol Pot, what the hell else can you expect?...and maybe I’m a mean person, and if so I’m sorry, but at a certain point, I run out of patience with people regretting their vote for Our Treasonous Orange Nightmare; you had AMPLE OPPORTUNITY to study the issues by reading accounts from impartial sources, or both left and right if you wanted, to say nothing of hearing about Project 2025, and you STILL voted for this assclown because he promised to oppress people WHO WEREN’T YOU, or so you thought...and by the way, more idiocy with Jason Smith is here (and I’m not the least bit surprised to hear more Repug double-talk on prices now that last year’s elections are done)...



...and there are a few musical 80th birthdays I want to get to this month, and I’ll start with this one for Bob Seger...hope it’s a good one (I saw him at the Spectrum forever ago, and he killed it).
