Friday Stuff
Jesse Dollemore tells us that a humongous weapons cache, including machine guns and grenade launchers, allegedly belonging to a neo-Nazi in Washington state was just uncovered and seized by authorities (bringing this video on the 81st anniversary of D-Day, of course); apparently this was tied to an attack at a nearby Army base (and I agree with Jesse on guns 100 percent; it would be incredibly disturbing to publish pictures of those who were shot with an AR-15 with those enormous rounds, but if we did that, I guarantee you that that would be the end of the discussion about not allowing military-grade assault rifles for civilians, meaning those weapons of death would be banned)...as a side note, it looks like “I’ll drink to that” Hegseth ALSO wants to rename the U.S.S. Harvey Milk (in addition to renaming the ships named after Thurgood Marshall and Medgar Evers) because we have to make sure to “hate teh gay” as long as we’re also being racist...I should also point out that normally I wouldn’t call out someone who has a problem with alcohol since that’s an easy trap for anyone to fall into, and maybe this is a shortcoming on my part, but I’m just about done with extending normal rules of civility to anyone in our ruling regime...
...and I have to admit more than a little disgust with our fourth-estate feeding frenzy over the Trump-Musk rift; I think our corporate media cousins should instead take a page from Kyle Kulinski here, who tells us about Lawrence O’Donnell commendably getting a little choked up over King Elon I basically killing a 5-year-old orphan (and just as a reminder, PEPFAR was passed under Dubya’s term in office; at first, I actually opposed PEPFAR because I wanted this country to work through the UN instead of “going it alone,” but I came to realize that the program ended up doing a lot of good)...and I don’t want to imagine the deal with the devil “Little Marco” Rubio made, but he’ll now never get rid of his Trump stench either...Rubio should join those other two in the slam (and some of this repeats a bit from yesterday’s clip with Kyle I know, but it’s important and SHOULD be repeated IMO)...
...and I’m not exactly sure of the date of this Rebel HQ clip with John Iadarola, but I believe it has to do with the markup of a “Dismantle DEI” bill, and of course Repug U.S. House Rep Clay Higgins goes “WAAAH! I’M A VETERAN AND YOU’RE TRYING TO DENY MY SPEECH!” (umm...no one is trying to do that)...fortunately, Ayanna Pressley and Jasmine Crockett effectively pushed back against Higgins, and Jared Moskowitz offered some important clarification also...
...and Farron Cousins lets us know that Dems recently scored a win in a state house contest in South Carolina, with Keishan Scott beating Repug Bill Odin...and yes, I realize this was a blue seat that Scott was likely to win anyway, but I believe the story here is the 40-point margin of victory, which is more than double the percentage by which Kamala Harris won that district last year; as Cousins notes, when you add that to the series of recent Dem electoral wins, that should give our side some momentum to build upon for this year and the next...
...and this breaking story from the Onion News Network, America’s Finest News Source, brings us the human tragedy of the return of J.D. Vance’s “inner hillbilly”...oh, the humanity...just when you were no doubt wondering what the almost-forgotten veep was up to, along comes this setback...yep, who among us is immune from falling prey to this deadly affliction requiring, at a minimum, a “banjo-ectomy” (heh)...
Update 6/7/25: Once more from America's Finest News Source (here).
...and it’s been a little while since I rocked out around here, so how about if I make amends with this newer tune?
