Rachel Maddow informs us that the Gropenfuhrer has scrapped about three dozen regulations pertaining to guns, because of course..he repealed the rule preventing selling firearms to the mentally ill when he got in the first time in 2017; that’s something he apparently has just restored – ahhh, smell the “free-dumb,” my fellow prisoners...one of the many levels of awfulness here is that it will apparently make it easier for mail-order gun sales without in-person verification of any type prior to purchasing a firearm...Maddow speaks with Mirianna Mitchem, former associate assistant director at the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (from an era when our federal government actually operated efficiently on our behalf)...
...and Belle of the Ranch gives us the latest on “Trump accounts”...I wouldn’t trust anything with Our Ochre Abomination’s name on it, but as Belle says, talk to a financial advisor if you’re looking to set up some kind of a savings vehicle for your son/daughter and if you’re in the position to do that of course...Belle mentions 529 accounts, which may be a better option for saving for college...higher contribution limits are attractive, along with potentially rolling over the account into a Roth IRA (I’ve gone back and forth on Roth IRAs myself vs. a traditional IRA, but the up-front taxation feature for Roth could be attractive based on your needs/situation)...as Belle says, it’s projected that, with a Trump account, if you get $1K and do nothing with it, it will be worth $6K by the time the child reaches 18 which 1) Is a guess based on anticipated market performance , and 2) Represents a sum that is truly miniscule against the overall cost for a 2-to4-year college, depending on the major...
...and Kyle Kulinski brings us the tale of Dem congressman Ro Khanna visiting the West Bank and getting detained for about 90 minutes by IDF gangsters, in an experience which I’m sure was pretty damn scary (and once more, to prove Kyle’s point about Israel killing Americans, just Google “Rachel Corrie and the bulldozer” and prepare yourself for some horrific results of your search)...I give Khanna credit for going on Fix Noise – I wouldn’t bother with that trash network – so OF COURSE he gets attacked again on this by some soulless, AIPAC-shilling harpie who criticizes Khanna for saying that this Michael Leiter person (apparently our rep to Israel??) is lying, when in fact LEITER IS F*CKING LYING INDEED!!!!! All this Fix Noise news mannequin has to do is ROLL THE DAMN BODYCAM VIDEO LIKE KHANNA SAYS!!!...I agree that ”boomer slop” is probably a pretty spot-on description for this (and I definitely see parallels to the “People’s Temple” madness also)...if I ruled the world, I would have cut off military aid to Israel long ago not just for their carnage in Gaza, but as an act of protest against a country where hard line Jews routinely kick Christian priests and nuns to the curb, literally, and spit on them (and the congressman referred to by Kyle who was killed for investigating the Guyana/Jim Jones cult was Leo Ryan...also, Section 224 mentioned here is that garbage provision in the NDAA that the pro-Israel hawks in Congress are trying to enshrine into law)...NSFW/H...
...and Steve Harness of Really American discusses #47 getting a new “participation trophy” for his Not-So-Excellent Adventure in Iran; it just appeared near the MLK exhibit on the mall in D.C...and yes, this is another production courtesy of Secret Handshake...I think encouraging other folks to drop off their trophies also is another spot-on level of absurdity...and oh yeah, what the hell is going on with those columns around the White House? And I think topping those columns with mushroom-type fixtures is probably pretty “on the nose,” you might say...NSFW/H also...
...and Seth Meyers catches up on about three weeks’ worth of madness in this “Closer Look” bit, including #47 telling Jake Tapper what questions he’s supposed to ask, and at this point, we really shouldn’t be surprised by behavior like that...and this is just a reminder that Bronzer Beelzebub made at least $2 billion as *preznit last year...oh, but Uday Jr. is managing all that apparently (as if he could manage anything without daddy), and Cantaloupe Capone supposedly has no involvement...all politicians lie, but some tell white lies with some slight truth shading and some tell lies that are so far beyond belief that the liar believes that you’re a damn idiot, and Our Ochre Abomination is definitely guilty of the latter...
...and today is the 45th anniversary of the loss of Harry Chapin.
