Friday Stuff
David Shuster brings us the latest on ICE thugs arresting people in Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket (aside from the grotesque human rights abuse, yeah, this will pretty much destroy retail businesses at the height of the tourist season...and not that this Lying Treasonous Orange Glob of Trans Fats actually cares, but he’s basically destroying tourism overall to this country, as Shuster points out)...if memory serves, it looks like the exchange with the ICE thug, the guy filming and island law enforcement took place in an area of Oak Bluffs on MVY on the way to Vineyard Haven...
...and returning to the murders of Melissa Hortman and her husband and the near-killing of John Hartman and his wife, Jesse Dollemore lets us know that, apparently, the wife of suspect Vance Luther Boelter was apprehended on her way to the airport I believe...yeah, considering that (as someone on Bluesky pointed out) Philando Castile was complying with police in Minnesota by presenting his firearm when he was shot dead, and here Boelter’s wife from that state was allowed to skate despite compiling her cache of ammunition, along with a gun and passports (nah, this guy isn’t a flight risk...not much he isn’t), given all that, I would say that there are at least two versions of justice when it comes to Life In These United States...Jesse makes a damn good argument when it comes to making sure this isn’t a federal case, because I ABSOLUTELY could see the Gropenfuhrer letting this psycho skate if he were convicted...and I know we touched on Mike Lee’s thoroughly stoo-pid propaganda on this already in the BTC clip with Tina Smith, but I have no problem mentioning it again (actually, I think Lee’s cruel, lying nonsense should be kept on a continuous loop of sorts to make sure everyone knows what a guttural lowlife he truly is)...mildly NSFW/H...
...and I really haven’t bothered to say anything about the NYC mayoral primary to this point, but Mike Figueredo tells us that it looks like Zohran Mamdani is putting up a pretty good fight against Andrew Cuomo, with the latter being the big-money-endorsed Dem in the primary (which basically is the election, when you get down to it)...I’d honestly forgotten about the stuff with Andrew Cuomo and COVID patients dying in nursing homes, but I’d remembered the “sex pest” stuff though...I would support Mamdani just for shouting at mush mouth Tom Homan the way Mamdani did...and yeah, Cuomo’s response to ICE goons like Homan seems to be, “oh well, tsk tsk, ICE shouldn’t be doing that, but let’s not be rude,” whereas Mamdani’s response, quite rightly, is to tell ICE and Homan to GTFO...I know Figueredo gets a little pedantic at times, but I think he’s fundamentally right when he talks about needing socialism (to a point) to combat late-stage capitalism, since neoliberalism very definitely has failed IMO (and that “We stand with Israel” moment with Dem “leaders” Schumer and Jeffries along with “MAGA Mike” Johnson tells you how rigged the game truly is)...I’m also not sure how productive it is to revisit the Kamala Harris campaign; as far as I’m concerned, yes, she’s partly to blame for what happened, but more than anything else, she was betrayed by DNC-centrist-Beltway losers who think the base of their party watches “Morning Jo(ke)”...that being said, I think Figueredo is right to say that Dems need to start electing people with a genuine vision for the future...(NSFW/H also)...
...and Kyle Kulinski brings us the sordid tale of a 1/6 vermin who Generalissimo Trump pardoned, and it turned out that this nematode had a child p*rn conviction, because of course...actually, finding the child p*rn stuff stemmed from a warrant over the 1/6 insurrection, and this scumwaffle is saying, “oh, you have to let me walk over my child p*rn charge since I was pardoned,” and unfortunately (as Kyle says), this tactic indeed might work (NSFW/H also)...
...and here’s an upbeat message from The Onion to take us into the weekend – heh (very definitely NSFW/H)...
...and with the recent precipitation in these parts, this tune has been on my mind...
...and I'd like to wrap up my tribute to Brian Wilson and the Beach Boys with these two selections.
