I assume y’all don’t follow X, let alone unTruth antiSocial, any more than I do. But there are good people who do – in order to share with us the most egregious BS so we know what is going on. And this is one from yesterday (I wasn’t looking for anything, just watching for personal reasons.) BTW, I did scale the Xeet, more than once, but itdidn’t take.
From CNBC, referreed by VoteVets (Star#1 of their “daily four star”). It includes 7 minute video (feel free to skip).
From Talking Feds. Is anyone surprised? I doubt it.OK,, I’m a tiny bit surprised they did it so fast and asstracted attention. Onthe other hand, they are as dumb as they are corrupt.
The Project on Government Oversight does that Oversight that the administration doesn’t -which in this regime means pretty well everything. Im previous administrations there has always been something to investigate, but nowhere near everything, even under Republicans.
Yesterday, Trinette was by. She managed to get here and also get home before the lightning (which I did’t see, but heard the thunder). Never a dull moment with our weather. I should sdd that when I use the term “Trump Derangement Syndrome,” I am referring to the derangement suffered (or enjoyed) by Trump himself. Because that’s the only kind which is real, albeit many of his followers also exhibit it.
A video – just under a quarter hour – from Adam Klasfeld – literal Pay to Play, and a lawsuit hoping to end it. Yes, there’s a transcript.
He can declare until he is blue in the face – but it won’t change anything. Period.
This is not anything which is likely to affect any of us personally – and maybe I should be concentrating on things which are – and they are legion. But it is so dramatic that once you look at it, it’s hard to look away.
Yesterday, while looking for a cartoon for today (a specific one), I found trove of older cartoons and memes, many of which are not old at all. For instance, does anyone remember (I didn’t) that the Cantaloupe Caligula expressed interest in buying Greenland as early as 2019? I didn’t. But he did. Incidentally, the third asterisk in parentheses when I use the name Trump**(*) is because articles of impeachment have actually been filed. Not that they will go anywhere, but they have. I admit I jumped the gun a little and added it when they had only been drafted and not yet filed – but they did get filed, so I have no regrets. Also yesterday, the Brennan Center reported that Rikers Island ‘s penal complex has been put into receivership by a Federal judge. And one more thing: Rep Gerry Connolly (D-VA) died from esophageal cancer. I looked up Virginia law, and there will be a special election called by the Governor. The law does not specify a time frame.
I’m back to working a little ahead, which means my selections will be a little behind. I hope that isn’t too annoying. At least this from Talking Points Memo covers multiple topics (all important) so there’s a chance you may not have seen one or two.

This by Robert Reich is not really addressed to us, but to the media, and particularly to wingnut media. As such, it’s probably already doomed. It may give us some ammunition, if any of us has a platform from which to use it. Persnally, I will put on record, and would happily do so anywhere, any time, my evidence-backed opinion that a demented Joe Biden would be a better President than Trump**(*) in perfect mental health and 20 years younger.
I would not be a bit surprised if this news got buried, and in fact considering the circumstances – all the circumstances – it’s probably not all that big a story. But you gotta love Wonkette‘s headline. (I am not blind to the possibility of dangerous consequences from it, but it’s still funny.)
This is a bonus video from Talking Feds. Harry analyzes in detail the events regarding the arrest of Mayor Baraka and the charge against Congresswoman McIver in New Jersey – and what a mess* it really is. The vid is about 26 minutes because it doesn’t leave any issues out.
*When I was in the USMC, we had a racist expression for this which I won’t repeat. “SNAFU,” even “FUBB,” don’t really do it justice, though. Maybe “circle jerk”?
I do. But there are good people who do – in order to share with us the most egregious BS so we know what is going on. And this is one from yesterday (I wasn’t looking for anything, just watching for personal reasons.) BTW, I did scale the Xeet, more than once, but itdidn’t take.
