Monday Stuff
Jesse Dollemore informs us that some self-proclaimed prophet lady named Kim Robinson claimed she saw Charlie Kirk riding horses on a ranch with Jesus or something along with puppies, skiing and rollercoasters in Heaven...I think somebody has had one too many servings of sacramental wine, if you catch my drift...and apparently this pink-haired Kat Kerr person is cut from the same wretched cloth, if you will (and she’s promoting a web site also because of course)...
...and in case you were wondering what kind of response we’d get from Mango Mussolini to the “No Kings” protests, Brian Tyler Cohen tells us about it, which is about what you can expect from this ketchup-throwing-tantrum child in An Oval Office...oh, and along comes bootlicker “MAGA Mike” to criticize Obama for closing the mall in DC during the 2013 shutdown; um, I don’t recall that SEVEN MILLION people protested President Obama, and there were A HELL OF A LOT OF OTHER PROTESTS besides the one in DC yesterday aimed mainly at the Gropenfuhrer (and this tells us about our corporate media apparently being afraid to call out poop when it is plainly obvious...NSFW/H)...
...and did you hear the news that Cantaloupe Capone and “Dr.” (Trillion Dollars Added To The Economy) Oz want the elderly to work until we’re dead...we’ve known that Repugs want to raise the retirement age, but it looks like “Dr. Crudité” is making that pretty damn plain now, along with forcing older Americans with disabilities to work because they want us to go back to Dickensian days of people pleading in the streets for loose change along with “work houses,” all in the name of trying to keep the economy going, which we hear about at this wingnut gathering at the Aspen Institute...Georgia is held up as a supposed example of Medicaid reform and the wonder of “work requirements,” with administrative costs blowing past the money spent on stuff like, y’know, ACTUAL PATIENT CARE!...I knew there was a disparity in life span between the wealthy and those with little means, but I didn’t know it was nine years...it’s almost funny to read how our ruling regime thinks that “desk work” is some kind of a panacea for people on disability to put their noses back to the grindstone, completely ignoring the fact that such work is highly specialized and those jobs don’t just fall from the trees, you might say...important to mention that people don’t retire on a disability benefit unless they have no other choice because they’ll ALWAYS make less money on disability than working full time...so many reasons to detest “Dr.” Oz, but pretty much ignoring that quote from Hubert Humphrey is just another example of how twisted Oz really is...
...and Farron Cousins lets us know that Don The Con would make the student loan crisis so much worse by selling off the federally subsidized debt to private investors instead of sending that dough back to the federal government (yep, here comes yet another private equity scam, trying to monetize something the feds did much better for comparatively little cost, and our glorious financial captains of industry can indeed do whatever the hell they want with that debt as Cousins notes, including seizing more of our assets)...yes, Biden provided some student debt relief, but I recall that the SCOTUS of Hangin’ Judge JR threw a monkey wrench, you might say, into all of that (here)...we’re talking about $1.6 trillion in student loan debt owed by 45 million people as Cousins points out...
...and I thought Mr. Newberger did a typically good job here of responding to the latest Trumpian nonsense...
...and I also thought this newer tune was a good choice to help us ease into the week – hope you agree.
