Rachel Maddow lets us know about Our Tiny-Handed *preznit paying out a billion dollars to stop leases on wind farm development...she begins by telling us about the Revolution Wind project off the coast of Rhode Island producing enough power for 350K homes and businesses and saving New England residents $500 mil a year, so three guesses what comes next, and as always, the first two don’t count – yep, Cantaloupe Capone stopped it dead in its tracks...are you tired of the winning yet?...
...and Brian Tyler Cohen tells us about Florida state district candidate Emily Gregory winning the seat that includes Mar-a-Lago, which Trump carried by 11 points two years ago...Dem Brian Nathan also won in District 18 (which also has a Repug voter registration advantage), and yes, these results do indeed mirror what has taken place in special elections this cycle as Cohen says...it all comes back to Our Treasonous Orange Pustule, but if you’re reading this, I know you know that already...glad to hear Cohen emphasize how much Cantaloupe Capone is cleaning up (“emoluments clause”? What “emoluments clause”??) since our corporate media seems to think reporting on that is impolite, or maybe they’re afraid our flatulent orange meat sack will send out a mean tweet about them if they do...
...and I hope you’re not dealing with all kinds of long lines at TSA checkpoints because the “party of Lincoln” refuses to support a Dem bill to pay TSA and ICE, including much-needed reforms to the latter (I mean, ICE should be abolished, but for practical reasons I know you can’t do that right away – would that you could), but if you are dealing with inconvenience while trying to fly, I would ask that you keep the following clip in mind, where right-wing “pastors” say long lines at airports because of the shutdown is why they need private planes...as I’ve said, I know I need to “get right” in my own way and I’m not proselytizing, but I will say that I know when someone has gone too far in the name of religion, and I would say this is a pretty clear-cut example...and why am I not surprised to hear this Troy Brewer character tell everyone that he was able to get to Colorado Springs, since that place may be the fundie epicenter of this country (which elected Bo-Bo Boebert to Congress of course)...
...and I’d like to give credit to David Corn at Mother Jones (courtesy of Bluesky) for the reminder that today is the 115th anniversary of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire, a galvanizing tragedy in this country’s labor history...146 people died mainly because of sweatshop work conditions (exits blocked, no fire prevention methods such as water sprinklers)...the tragic event helped spur the creation of the International Ladies Garment Workers Union, as we learn in the video...
...and Jimmy Kimmel describes the official ’28 Olympic colors, which do indeed reflect Combover Caligula, as Kimmel notes, even the color for the bruising on #47’s chubby hands...and I suppose letting Melania name the participating countries would actually give her something to do between what is likely her full-time job of pretending not to be married to the Tangerine Toddler...however, because it’s a day of the week with a “y” in it, we must be inflicted once more with verbal flatulence from “Mr. Melania” (I’m sure he would just LOVE to be called that)...can’t think of a word to describe how demented it is that Bronzer Beelzebub thinks we’re the only country with mail-in voting, which (as we find out) he used himself...and I know I already noted the $1-billion-to-kill-windmills thing in the Maddow clip, but I have no problem with mentioning it again (and “Man-Boob Of La Mancha” – good one)...oh, and I’m SUUURRRE Iran gave Cheetoh Hitler a “prize” for blowing up their energy infrastructure and bombing that school were 100 girls were killed – just no words for some of this madness...and it looks like “America’s Mayor” is slowly turning into Nosferatu before our eyes...and yeah, let’s give new DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin the treatment he deserves once more...and I’m not going to waste another calorie pointing out the typically ridiculous lies from our *preznit about trans kids and sports (“transgender for everyone”)...and I realize that “Cancun” Cruz doesn’t care about the truth either, but in a weird way, he actually did the Dems a favor by pointing out all of the Senators involved in the ’20 fake electors scam – might not be a bad idea for everyone listed on that gray poster to “lawyer up” (and I can picture Cruz as the guy in the back corner booth of a Denny’s trying to hawk costume jewelry or knockoff Rolex watches or something to gullible rubes)...and I guess this is the “15 minutes” for “Palm Beach Pete,” who seems like a good guy (I thought the T-shirt was a nice touch)...
...and tomorrow marks the 50th anniversary of the release of “Wings at the Speed of Sound,” including this tune.
