Friday Stuff
Brian Tyler Cohen and Glenn Kirschner tell us that it looks like Judge Winebox lost big time in court, again...she allegedly holds the title of the U.S. Attorney for DC; it seems that she tried to get a conviction on a felony charge against somebody who she said pointed a laser pointer at a helicopter carrying Dementia Donnie, and the jury returned a not guilty verdict in about 35 minutes (the defendant was a homeless man who apparently had a cat toy keychain...I wish I were making this up)...I’m glad Cohen brought up the fact that the DOJ apparently isn’t going to investigate ICE’s Jonathan Ross who murdered Renee Good, putting that in the context of Pirro’s laughable attempt at a prosecution...I didn’t know Pirro had lost 8 separate times when she tried to get an indictment against somebody, but that sure figures all right...and oh yeah, the DOJ is preoccupied with a ridiculous prosecution of a homeless man, but they can’t release the freaking Epstein files which they’re legally required to do – uh huh...
...and Tennessee Brando brings us the story of ICE getting fat bonus checks while people in this country suffer...he starts off by emphasizing that “America First” is nothing but another idiot wingnut slogan with MAGA not giving a fig about people getting poorer in this country, losing their jobs and/or health care while our economy takes care of the ultra-wealthy and barely anyone else (and kudos to Jared Moskowitz for calling out the obscenity of ICE getting all of this dough while the majority of this country gets the metaphorical shiv...and I don’t know about you, but I could NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS get a $42K bonus)...also, I didn’t hear about the people of Greenland supposedly getting $100K apiece for the privilege of being ransacked and pillaged by this country I guess (make it make sense somehow)...and I agree with Brando; if this isn’t the time for the 25th Amendment, then that time doesn’t exist (NSFW/H)...
...and Sam and Emma of The Majority Report bring us The Further Adventures Of Tony Dokoupil at the Bari-Weiss-run CBS “News” division...Mr. Katy Tur supposedly interviews real Americans and not some pointy-headed “experts” (who, BTW, actually know what they’re talking about) as Sam points out...I can see that the entire reason for Dokoupil’s existence as CBS Evening News anchor (aside from satisfying the whims of Weiss and David Ellison) is to present some populist façade while finding a way to repackage wingnut talking points (“Without my hair, what am I?” indeed)...
...and departing Repug U.S. Senator Thom Tillis recently expounded on the floor of the U.S. Senate, saying “I’m sick of stupid” regarding the treatment of our NATO allies; Tillis singles out Pee Wee German in particular for saying that “obviously” Greenland should be part of the U.S. (and yeah, I know the Tangerine Toddler has since come up with some kind of a “deal” on that island which pretty much confirms the status quo and doesn’t represent anything else)..being a Repug, Tillis is glossing over #47’s seizure of Maduro in Venezuela (which was illegal as near as I can tell), but Tillis is 100% spot on when it comes to defending Greenland and NATO (and no, Combover Caligula is NOT going to have a good legacy, Senator, right as you are about everything else)...
...and Seth Meyers gives us “A Closer Look,” and as just noted, it appears that “President Deals” came up with some kind of an “agreement” with Greenland that looks suspiciously like THE ONE WE ALREADY FREAKING HAD!!!...and oh yeah, trying to acquire that island nation outright is somehow more unpopular than trying to squash the Epstein files...”the ultimate long-term deal” huh? What a cheap, petty scam artist this guy is...and I have to admit that I’m having trouble picturing TACO Trump in film noir...“She strutted into my gumshoe office, and my eyes went up and down her frame like I was riding a Trump Tower escalator. She had more bling on her than the gold inlay of a Mar-a-Lago bathroom. She was more dangerous than a possible ruptured coronary artery after too many Big Macs.”; ok, I admit that I’ll never give Raymond Chandler a run for his money...I honestly don’t know how any adult out there with a double digit IQ or greater could listen to this barely somnambulant sweaty orange meat sack and take him seriously about ANYTHING...
...and as we brace for a potential weather white out in these parts, I’d like to extend upcoming Happy 85th Birthday wishes to Neil Diamond.
