Brian Tyler Cohen gives us an update on King Charles visiting our shores and acting like a head of state is supposed to in his speech before a joint session of Congress, citing all of the ways our legal tradition intersects with that of the U.K., along with that important reminder that, yeah, there are “checks and balances” against Mango Musoslini, and I think Cohen’s analysis of Dems rising to applaud and then Repugs is spot-on...I think the same analysis applies to the King’s remark about Ukraine...to say I personally have been ambivalent towards the monarchy is an understatement, but I have to admit that it was nice to see how a REAL head of state is supposed to (again) act for a change...
...and in a bit of a related theme (i.e., our country on the world stage), Kyle Kulinski brings us the all-time-awful world approval numbers on Combover Caligula (anybody surprised by that?)...I think that plus-11 number is in Hungary; kind of embarrassed to be honest that my geography knowledge isn’t better on that...apparently, #47’s antics over Greenland have done the worst damage to our reputation, though I’m sure his idiocy over Ukraine hasn’t helped one bit either...I hate to agree with Kyle’s analysis that we’re defaulting to the Chinese century as he puts it, but I don’t see any way around that painful conclusion (NSFW/H)...
...and continuing a bit with global matters, Dina Doll of the Meidas Touch Network discusses a report from Drop Site News; apparently, our ruling regime is torturing survivors of the boat attacks near Ecuador (blindfolded and held hostage for eight days)...we’re talking broken bones and, in one case, a foot sliced open so badly that the boat filled with blood (all of this is done by our cretinous ruling regime in our name, people)... Ecuadorian fishermen were captured and transferred to the El Salvadorian coast guard, though the fishermen were eventually sent back to Ecuador because of pressure from their families...didn’t know that, apparently, the Trump gang has allegedly killed 174 people from these boat attacks...good point that the fact that these boats were sunk as opposed to boarded for collecting evidence tells you that this was basically an execution at sea of people who were likely completely innocent...we’re reminded once more of SecDef Kegseth’s claim that we bombed an alleged Ecuadorian drug compound which was actually a dairy farm...another good point is that this madness is taking place while Kegseth canned the Secretary of the Navy during #47’s Not-So-Excellent Adventure in Iran (here)...we’re reminded once more of Kegseth’s little rally about “the warrior ethos” while our military starves from being fed meals that you probably wouldn’t inflict on your pet (here)...important reminder that torture by our service personnel does indeed violate their own documented guidelines...
...and returning to domestic matters that are no less awful, Tennessee Brando lets us know that it looks like Ghislaine Maxwell is getting close to a full pardon...I mean, we’re talking about the Trump Crime Syndicate, so what seriously is going to stop them? Also, I’m not familiar with Scott MacFarlane, but it looks like he’s doing a good job with this story...also, good work by Madeleine Dean of our beloved commonwealth, trying to get that scumbag Howard Lutnick on the record over this horror show...and by the way, I think we just observed the one-year anniversary of the death of Virginia Guiffre, just to let you know (NSFW/H also)...
...and Josh Johnson of The Daily Show gives us another “Let Them Eat Ballroom” bit...yeah, let’s just speed up development of the Gropenfuhrer’s vanity palace/bunker while our economy goes down the drain along with our international prestige (and leave it to Huckleberry Graham to take the lead on THAT)...and gee, I wonder how many hospitals and doctors could continue to operate along with providing all of the VA services our vets need if that $400 million was used for THAT instead?...and I know I’ve said it before, and at the risk of repeating myself I’ll say it again; why the hell anybody with a brain would watch Fix Noise is something I’ll NEVER understand...and yep, John Fetterman gets lit up here, and he deserves all of it, sadly (with Jordan Klepper)...
...and if I'm going to include this tune for the month of April, I know I'd better hurry up, so here it is.
