John Iadarola of The Damage Report brings us more utter madness from Pumpkin Pol Pot (and God almighty, here is YET ANOTHER “Sir” story from this lying orange clump of trans fats, and he gives us the "accordion hands" yet again)...I’m sure there actually are people in his utterly warped imagination saying we need the “Save America!” Act, which is still more delusion...and I realize Cantaloupe Capone doesn’t have the remotest clue about how federal governance works, saying that the “talking filibuster” will help pass the SAVE Act; of course, #47 has that exactly backwards...and I agree with John that, at a minimum, we should be selectively casting the stinking filibuster aside, though sh*tcanning it for good works for me too...
...and Rachel Maddow brings us the story of Dem U.S. House members going to the migrant concentration camp in Dilley, TX...typically lowdown move by the Trump regime to invite a mariachi band to perform at the White House and then arrest two members of that band and their parents, no doubt stirring what passes for the manhood of Pee Wee German (with one of the brothers in another concentration camp in that godawful state, and yes, I know there are plenty of fine Dems doing heroic work in Greg Abbott-stan)...fortunately, it looks like the pressure from the lawmakers got the family released, BUT ICE SHOULDN’T BE KIDNAPPING AND IMPRISONING ANYBODY, NOT NOW OR FREAKING EVER!!...oh, and it looks like there was a homicide at another migrant prison in Camp East Montana in “the land of the yellow rose,” which, at 30% of its ridiculous projected capacity, is also a breeding ground for a whole bunch of communicable diseases...and oh yeah, our outlaw regime is also proposing 14K and 15K max facilities, presumably to detain “unfriendlies” such as troublesome libs, impertinent journalists, etc...good for the fine folks in Georgia protesting another of these wretched places (and if you have any dough in Citizens Bank, I would advise pulling it and putting it somewhere else with all speed)...
...and Thom Hartmann reminds us of the 50-year campaign by billionaires to get people to believe conservative nonsense...the roots of this go back a looong time, to the point when it became more important for our corporate media to provide “balance” than to report on actual, verifiable truth and reality...to my mind, this all started in the 1950s with William F. Buckley, the John Birchers and Barry Goldwater; the problem is that all of that was thought to be out of the mainstream, which it was and still is, but through a variety of means (mainly the corporate takeover of our media), their propaganda ended up getting pushed so much that the work of actual professional journalists ended up on the scrap heap (and let’s NEVER forget the part The Powell Memo has played in all of this)...everyone should be forced to memorize the last 50 seconds or so in particular of this commentary...
...and with the prior clip in mind, I’d like to bring back “This Day In Doomsy History” (more or less) from 3/10/14...as the year goes forward, we’re going to be treated to more and more political ads, and I wanted to recall this one from former Alaska Dem U.S. Senator Mark Begich, where he quite rightly calls out the beyond wretched Koch Brothers (and yes, I know David departed this world in 2019)...I hope there are PLENTY of other ads calling out Chucky Koch and the billionaire class for what they’ve done to us and this country overall...
...and John Oliver nails it again, this time with a segment on the destruction of US AID...I realize it’s a mind-numbing and stupefying exercise to try and determine the absolute worst behavior of this wretched “presidential” administration (the Iran war probably rocketed to the top of that list), but the utter ruination of this vitally important agency is in the top three of the worst acts of this cabal of criminals...and yep, destroying something that amounted to one percent of the federal budget fits for these guttural lowlifes...and what I wouldn’t give to see Benny Johnson shipped off to sub-Saharan Africa so he can gleefully proclaim the destruction of US AID to communities that have lost their entire population to starvation and disease that that agency could have prevented...and yet again, Huckleberry Graham proves that he has no convictions about anything except sucking up to power...also, about the whole “waste, fraud and abuse” thing that the wingnuts like to keep yapping about, it turns out that over 94 percent of US AID funding was allocated properly, as the report tells us...and Jeremy Lewin is another one of these Trumpist characters I’d like to see jettisoned to a place with rampant malnutrition and disease so he can “define fraud” to his coal-black-heart’s content...and it looks like this Mike Benz character is the person responsible for putting US AID “in the wood chipper” – yep, another wingnut with a grudge and hurt fee fees punching down...how predictable...and a quarter of a million dead adults and HALF A MILLION dead kids because of the destruction of US AID – I know I’ve said it before and I’ll keep saying it, but we need a permanent “truth and reconciliation” committee with subpoena power when this horror show is over to see that people go to the slam for the rest of their lives, partly because of this, though there are plenty of other reasons too...and even Dubya’s pride and joy PEPFAR (which was something he shockingly did right) wasn’t spared from the wrath of King Elon’s DOGE incels...and oh yeah, Oxford Senator Foghorn Leghorn of Louisiana has to demonstrate what he considers an affront to his sensibilities on this, as part of the wingnut “pile on”...and “little Marco” once more demonstrates that he’s an utter liar who also has no core principles either (NSFW/H)...
...and here's a newer tune to get us through the "hump day."
