Saturday Stuff


(For those of you keeping score at home, it’s not your imagination – posting has been a little goofed up lately, and it may remain that way for a little while – I’ll let you know if and when that changes.)

To begin, Jesse Dollemore informs us that the AP reports that Crazy Eyes Kash Patel participated in some “VIP snorkeling” event around the U.S.S. Arizona at Pearl Harbor last year apparently, which, as Dollemore correctly points out, is hallowed ground...another ridiculous and insulting escapade from our ruling regime of grifters and bottom feeders...Patel should never have been confirmed to his position as FBI director, but short of that, he definitely should have been canned long ago, and that should happen PDQ as a result of this...not just Patel, but anyone else in a government position who participated in this disgusting event should be FIRED!!! (NSFW/H)...



...and David Shuster of Rebel HQ tells us about another Trumpist numbskull, and that would be Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, who apparently had no idea that renewable energy could be stored in batteries, which is particularly STOO-PID since North Dakota, the state Burgum comes from, now generates about 40 percent of its energy from renewables... Burgum’s “come to Jesus” moment is brought to us courtesy of Dem U.S. House Reps Seth Magaziner of Rhode Island and Dave Min of California (and I believe the rep asking about that madness with the Lincoln Monument reflecting pool was Joe Neguse of Colorado) ...glad to hear Burgum getting hammered by his boss paying companies making wind farms a BILLION DOLLARS to stop a wind farm project already underway (and it sounds like Burgum was trying to blame Biden for supposedly not fixing water fountains in D.C., or some such nonsense)...oh, and when you’ve got Big Time Teahadist Rick Santelli railing against inflation on the Trump Business News Channel, then I would say that you have a problem...



...and Logical Leftist Jeff Waldorf tells us about rancher Mark Pieper of Hay Springs, Nebraska, who says, “I guess I’ll just die” because of the Big Beautiful Clusterf*ck passed by Congress (and signed by you-know-who) that cut about $900 billion for Medicaid over the next 10 years and ended up closing Pieper’s dialysis unit at Chadron Hospital where he sought treatment (cuts affect 41K Nebraskans)...hospital was 90 miles away and Pieper drove there 3x a week, but now, the alternative is 200 freaking miles away...oh, and only about 15 percent of some bogus “transition fund” set up in that wretched bill goes for patient care, and the amount is miniscule compared to what was removed for tax cuts for the stinking rich (typical for the “party of Lincoln”)...and as if all of this couldn’t get worse, somehow it does since Nebraska has now implemented Medicaid work requirements (80 hours per month, the first state in the country to do that)...oh, and leave it to this Brooke Rollins character to call 34 million Medicaid recipients “lazy”...”racism and hatred – they are expensive” indeed...446 hospitals in this country are at risk from Medicaid cuts, 83 in California alone as we learn in this clip...



...and with his time running down, Stephen Colbert (with the help of David Letterman) gives “The Late Show” the sendoff it deserves (the cake made a spectacular impact I think...I don’t know about you, but I could use a good laugh over wanton destruction that doesn’t affect anybody)...



...and Seth Meyers gives us “A Closer Look” – apparently, Chinese social media is having fun at Pumpkin Pol Pot’s expense given that #47 is in their country at the moment...and raking in $4 billion? I realize our corporate media isn’t going to be impolite enough to mention THE DAMN EMOLUMENTS CLAUSE OF THE CONSTITUTION, but it looks like, in terms of the reality-based community, that is definitely in play here for our ruling regime...well, at least there won’t be a Trump Tower in “the land down under” (kudos to the Aussies for that)...also, I can just imagine the BS excuse for allowing Eric to join the entourage overseas (and good point about the double standard if, say, “No Malarkey Joe” had brought along Hunter)...and man, I think Apartheid Clyde’s mind is out where the buses don’t run somewhere...also, I know I’ve said a million times already that we already had a freaking deal under Obama to keep Iran from getting a nuclear weapon, but I guess I’ll have to keep repeating that as long as life forms like Huckleberry Graham refuse to point that out...and I know #47 has no core convictions about anything except getting paid and keeping out of prison, so I take absolutely nothing that he says at face value...



...and here’s a newer number for the kids to enjoy this weekend, hopefully.
