Monday Stuff
Brian Tyler Cohen speaks with former Capitol police officer Harry Dunn who, along with fellow officer Daniel Hodges, is suing #47 over his $1.8 bil insurrectionist slush fund (Dunn is running for the Dem nomination for the MD-05 seat about to be given up by Steny Hoyer)...good point by Cohen that, by in essence trying to make all of these scumwaffles millionaires, the Gropenfuhrer is trying to incentivize them to pull more garbage like they did on 1/6...I have issues with Bri-Fi for sure, mainly because he didn’t have a damn thing to say about the DOGE wreckage, and I’ll NEVER believe his naïve explanation that he thought Medicare/Medicaid wouldn’t be hit by the Big Beautiful Clusterf*ck, but in the matter of this payoff to the treasonous insurrectionists, Fitzpatrick is on the right side, albeit with the bar set pretty low...and Dunn is spot-on IMO in saying we need to elect the RIGHT democrats, not just someone who’s going to bring the metaphorical water pistol to a Howitzer fight (NSFW/H)...
...and sticking with the theme of mainly Repug toadies giving Our Ochre Abomination everything he wants, John and Brett Erlich of The Damage Report let us know that “MAGA Mike” Johnson cancelled a vote on the bill to implement the War Powers Resolution and sent everybody home instead (the bill passed the Senate when Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, who no longer has anything to lose politically, commendably flipped his No vote to Yes)...here comes my obligatory announcement once more that WE HAD A F*CKING NUKE DEAL WITH IRAN UNDER OBAMA THAT DEMENTIA J. TRUMP WADDLED AWAY FROM, CANKLES AND ALL...and yeah, the “accordion hands” are back too...I’d forgotten that this indeed is the same tactic as the one to prevent the disclosure of the Trumpstein files...and why do I have a feeling that that Raul Castro indictment is going to be the alleged excuse for still more military madness in Cuba...
...and Sam Seder of The Majority Report gives us his rundown on the Senate reconciliation bill that apparently is stuck because Pumpkin Pol Pot wants to stick his previously noted $1.8 bil slush fund for the 1/6 insurrectionists in it (which was called “stupid on stilts” by departing Repug senator Thom Tillis of N.C.)...the failure to introduce the resolution was commendably called out by Dem rep Jim McGovern of MA, as we see in the clip....by the way, the missing Repug U.S. House Rep is Tom Kean Jr. of NJ...
...and I know I spend the majority of my time here cataloging nonsense from the “party of Lincoln,” but here is an example of a Dem utterly caving, and that’s Colorado governor Jared Polis, who made the cowardly and ridiculous decision to grant clemency to election denier Tina Peters (good catch by Kyle Clark of 9NEWS to find that paragraph in his clemency letter that was omitted by Polis)...if it were any other Trumpist knucklehead, maybe – maybe – clemency COULD make sense...however, Peters, being an election official, knew EXACTLY how to mess up the voting apparatus in order to help Our Treasonous Orange Pustule, so what she did was a particular kind of evil above and beyond what we’ve come to know and despise from this regime of bottom feeders (and I would call this a completely deserved response to Polis)...
...and I thought this was a well-done Lincoln Project video with today’s holiday in mind...
...and here is an apropos selection for our annual observance.
