Steve Harness of Really American tells us that the Great American State Fair is going like gangbusters...actually, no, it really isn’t...oh, but we do have the Confederate rag on display at the North Carolina exhibit of course, because, as Harness says, what would a Trump-sponsored event be without a heaping helping of straight-up racism?...and look at the crowds! Why, I bet there’s actually tens of people there! And oh yeah, there is this too – the sarcasm writes itself, truly (NSFW/H)...
...and Robert Reich lets us know how Cantaloupe Capone’s gerrymandering plot could backfire...Repugs lost 40 U.S. House seats in the ’18 midterms during Combover Caligula’s wretched first term, and are poised to have a result at least that bad in a few months (though the aforementioned gerrymandering might take a chunk out of that)...a bit of a timely IMO history lesson on our disgusting SCOTUS tilting the scales once more for the “R” team by pretty much blowing up all of the VRA...I have tons of respect for Reich, but as far as I’m concerned, the “D” team should be pressing every conceivable advantage; more than “seat for seat,” we should be looking at ways to out-game the “party of Lincoln” to the fullest extent possible...only one political party supports the John Lewis For The People Act, and until that is eventually passed, I don’t care how dirty our side needs to fight when it comes to outsized voter representation...John Oliver had another good segment on this that I’ll try to get to, worth mentioning if for no other reason than for the laughably racist moment with outgoing Flori-DUUUH! guv #DeathSantis (cringingly awful, I mean)...
...and Belle of the Ranch lets us know that the “party of Lincoln” is continuing its attack on Social Security, to the point where funds are drying up faster than anticipated, with a reckoning potentially coming in six years...yep, looks like the usual political suspects are going to do their worst to ensure this vitally important program is privatized by 2032...at this point in our history, well into the beyond-awful second term under Our Treaasonous Orange Pustule that voters, in their dunderheaded stoo-pidity, awarded to #47, I cannot imagine why any sentient life form would trust ANYTHING with the Trump name attached to it (re, Trump Accounts)...Belle is spot-on when she says that you’re not supposed to get stinking rich on Social Security, but it IS supposed to be a safety net against the ups and downs from the Big Casino run by the banksters...being the filthy, unkempt liberal blogger that I am, I’m going to keep pointing out that the main fix here is to get rid of the cap on earnings subject to Social Security withholding, and I’m sure that suggestion will go continue to go nowhere (love to be wrong)...
...and David Pakman presents Dem Sen. Richard Blumenthal stumping another Trumpist judicial nominee, and that would be another Federalist Society flunky named Matthew Byrne...as we can see, Blumenthal is asking if Biden won the ’20 election and if the Capitol was attacked on 1/6/21, which a third grader should be able to answer with a Yes...and oh yeah, #47’s Not-So-Excellent Adventure in Iran is supposedly winding down or something, but he still wants $87 billion even though millions in this country have lost their health insurance and health care facilities are closing without Medicare/Medicaid reimbursements...oh, and Meta is releasing its own AI-powered prediction market app – just what we all need according to exactly no one, amirite?...
...and ripped from recent headlines, I give you the following from Mr. Newberger (can't think of a word to describe the utterly pathetic behavior from Our Ochre Abomination)...
...and Sir Paul truly is a marvel for continuing to crank out good new music, including this tune.
