Friday Stuff
Farron Cousins lets us know that Our Sweaty Orange Bronzer Boy is totally cool with Vlad The Butcher’s ongoing terror campaign against the brave people of Ukraine, and King Elon I is playing games with Starlink to hurt that country standing up to Russian aggression...and yeah, I have to admit that our PA-01 U.S. House rep is making some good noises on this, but I’ve seen this movie before (i.e., when the media shifts its focus to something else, so does Bri-Fi, but we’ll see, and particularly given that this is an election year of course and Apartheid Clyde is throwing truly stoo-pid money at the “R” team as Cousins points out)...
Update: More here.
...and this New York Times video informs us in the matter of a fight over fish in Alaska that could flip that state’s U.S. Senate seat...looks like larger fishing operations in their trawlers are picking up the salmon that smaller businesses would get to maintain their operations...also sounds like Repug Dan Sullivan wants to limit trawling, but Dem Mary Peltola wants to ban it outright, even though climate change is a bigger issue as we learn...I’m sure there’s more to this story, but this is the sort of thing that interests yours truly as opposed to whatever crazy thing Don The Con just said or did over the last news cycle...
...and I honestly try not to attack “team D” and participate in a circular firing squad, but I absolutely have to over the latest nonsense from James Carville, going on Bill Kristol’s podcast to say that Carville would rather see Republicans keep control in the U.S. House by 5 seats instead of the Dems taking over because if the Dems win the House by 5, then Hakeem Jeffries will be held hostage by the DSA as Carville sees it (and the DSA only has 7 members as Gay tells us); assuming Carville is actually right, please explain how that’s a bad thing...another reason why I could care less about Carville is that I honestly can’t recall him showing similar concerns when you had President Manchin and “Curtsy Kyrsten” holding the Senate hostage when the Dems had a slim majority in THAT body...Carville, among his other offenses, is one of these characters who often fires off texts and Emails yelling at yours truly to give him money – he also represents boomer entitlement big time and is one of the reasons for the divide between his demographic cohort (and mine, to be fair) and “Gen Z” and what will hopefully be the Dem voters of today and the future...the “raging Cajun” (who hasn’t won an election in over 30 years) can go on Bill Maher and carry on and pout in that space while we continue with the business of trying to win elections...mildly NSFW/H...
...and I admit that this is an unsettling ad, but please try to explain to me how this ISN’T based in reality, sadly (here)...
Update: And while we’re on the subject of heavy stuff, let’s not forget the anniversary of this tragedy and always keep the men and women of our military in our thoughts and prayers for real (and The Sainted Ronnie R responded by invading Grenada – you can look it up).
...and after something as heavy as the prior video, I’d like to now present something a little more upbeat...Steve Harness of Really American now gives us a lot of anti-Trump AI slop (including some neat little tunes and a Star Wars “I’m your father, Luke” takeoff), with about two weeks to go until Election Day...and oh yeah, Our Ochre Abomination struck a deal with Daddy Vlad to buy diesel and screw over Ukraine again, because of course (NSFW/H)...
...and happy 70th birthday to Dwight Yoakam – always liked this Grateful Dead cover.
