Tuesday Stuff


Rachel Maddow discusses the lies of the Gropenfuhrer about the Iran war, to say nothing of the slapdash approach by the command individuals in our military, including not notifying Kuwait about the activity of our fighter jets, allowing three of them to be shot down by that country (not blaming the brave rank-and-file folks serving our country, but I only mean to point out that this is the result of all of the firings of command leaders in our services by our ruling regime, namely, that you end up with incompetents taking their places and leaving our military exposed...oh, and SecDef Kegseth just also fired the Army chief of staff in the middle of this Iranian escapade)...one of the awful consequences of this disastrous war is the fact that our military personnel have to be shunted to hotels and elsewhere since their bases are no longer secure...didn’t know that the flunkies in #47’s cabinet were getting the housing from all of the military leaders who were told to “hit the bricks” by our ruling regime of frauds and pretenders...and more than 10K vets lost their homes to foreclosure because our ruling bunch of idiots wrecked a rescue provision in the VA home loan program...I’d heard about the wife of Staff Sgt. Matthew Blank getting detained and sent to an immigrant prison (as well as ICE goons threatening to arrest family members attending ceremonies for basic training graduates) – the depravity and corruption of our ruling regime is truly bottomless (“internal communication failure” on the detentions my ass)...



...and Mike Figueredo lets us know what we’ve likely already guessed, and that is that GOP policy makers are more detached from reality than ever before...Trump is definitely the dumbest *preznit; ”power and stoo-pidity is a deadly combination” indeed...and I’d heard about the business with FEMA’s Gregg Phillips claiming he was teleported (or similar wording) to a Waffle House...and boy, does it ever fit the profile that Phillips is an election denier from not just ’20, but ’16 also (an election that his boss actually won, in terms of the electoral vote anyway, as much as it pains me to admit that)...and it looks like Devin “Don’t Have A Cow” Nunes is apparently blocking Phillips on Truth Septic – pass the popcorn...also, I don’t share Figueredo’s comments about Catholicism, but I have to admit that idiots like Phillips make that topic fair game...more on “flat earther” Kandiss Taylor is here, BTW (“this would be a globe if I were a normal person” for sure)...oh, and I’d forgotten about Big Stupid Head Matt Gaetz, but unfortunately he’s back claiming that humans are having sex with aliens, and as far as I know, none of the aliens are underage (looks like somebody has been “getting his beak wet” in the Absinthe)...and it also looks like the “migrant caravans” are back, because why the hell not as long as we’re replaying Diaper Donnie’s Greatest Hits...next on our hit parade is Nancy Mace, running for governor of South Carolina (and I actually share Figueredo’s sentiment about getting her out of Congress...I know there are nice spots in SC, but overall, the quality of life in that state is utterly awful)...looks like Mace would try to ban “chemtrails”...(uuumm, O-kaaay)...I must’ve missed the memo on the apparently mortal threat from water vapor and ice crystals, but I guess as far as Mace is concerned, the calamitous effects of climate change (including the vanishing Colorado River) as well as pollution in our air, food and groundwater is a-OK...and no report on Repug wackadoodles would be complete without Paula White comparing Dementia J. Trump to Our Lord, and just in time for Easter (and believe me when I tell you that I am indeed offended by White and her garbage)...(NSFW/H)...



...and John and Jayar of The Damage Report given us more fallout from Combover Caligula’s profanity-laden Easter message...when you’ve got Alex Jones, of all people, telling you to “dial it back,” I would say you’ve gone too far even for Our Treasonous Orange Pestilence...yep, just tell our brave men and women in the military to commit war crimes; just turn up the goddamn Lee Greenwood soundtrack louder to drown out voices of dissent I guess...and I know there are great people of all political stripes who marched on No Kings Day about 10 days ago, and credit to them, but I’ve given up on expecting sanity and rationality from the “party of Lincoln” overall when it comes to the Tangerine Toddler...



...and Farron Cousins informs us that, according to a story in Politico, Repug canvassers across the country are “hating their lives right now”; I wish I could feel sorry for them, but I don’t...pretty bad, though, that they’re getting attacked by their own voters...sounds like Craig Berland and Todd Gillman truly are masters of the obvious when it comes to the issues rightly dragging down their party, to say nothing of the rest of the country...



...and Mr. Newberger presents this item about Pam (“The Dow Is At 50K!”) Bondi and Kristi (“Unsafe At Any Speed”) Noem, both of whom are currently out of a job...yeah, I think the treatment is deserved here (and it’s more than a little telling that, in all likelihood, the replacements for both will likely be “upward fail son” white men)...



...and today would have been the 75th birthday for drummer Bruce Gary of The Knack.
