Way to frame the issues, Grey Lady

The trouble, according to New York Times reporting, is that Biden failed on the BORDER CRISIS, and therefore House Republicans are, logically, impeaching the Biden official most directly responsible for that failure.

What the fuck is wrong with the insanely “nuanced” status quo embracing Journal of Record?

On the other hand, along with occasional important investigative reporting, they sometimes present excellent arguments for law and justice, such as Jamelle Bouie’s recent op ed, a short piece I highly recommend:

MAGA rages on

More news dropped today about the damage MAGA Republicans are doing to the United States. A report published today in JAMA Internal Medicine estimates that in the 14 states that outlawed abortion after the Supreme Court’s June 2022 Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision, 64,565 women became pregnant after being raped, “but few (if any) obtained in-state abortions legally.”

The People rest

To the solid 35% who love Trump, no matter what, who regard him as God’s gift to Christianity and as a savior to every unborn fetus everywhere, plus the Klan members and those solely motivated by greed and narrow self-interest who want every penny of their inherited wealth protected forever, no evidence of the big orange turd’s unfitness for office will ever change their minds about their guy.

For voters who are still persuadable, we get things like this regularly:

On Friday, Trump told the Concord, NH crowd: “You know, by the way, they never report the crowd on January 6th. You know, Nikki Haley, Nikki Haley, Nikki Haley, you know, they did you know, they destroyed all of the information, all of the evidence, everything deleted it, destroyed all of it. All of it because of lots of things, like Nikki Haley is in charge of security. We offered her 10,000 people.”

Those who love him can easily defend this typical Trump word salad. They know he was obviously talking about the hated Nancy Pelosi and that he was, understandably, attacking Haley and defending those innocent J6 hostages.

Anybody else will understand that the man who ordered the destruction of all evidence of the plans for and riot on January 6th, all secret service texts and phone calls, all White House logs and everything else, is a dick fingered reflexive practitioner of projection and an insane, wildly confused bastard who should never be anywhere near a nuclear button, let alone inserted as the Heritage Foundation’s dictator.

51% of 17% of right wing white people in Iowa dig Trumpie

Read The NY Times and you will be told this is a historic mandate, an unprecedented margin of victory in a sparsely participated in election against two opponents afraid to criticize the mad boss and vowing to lovingly tongue bathe his crusty nether regions should he be unfairly convicted of any of the 91 felony counts against him.

Meanwhile, here’s some history in the making, its antidemocratic animus explicitly stated:

“We are writing a battle plan, and we are marshaling our forces,” Paul Dans, director of Project 2025 at the Heritage Foundation, said last year. “Never before has the whole conservative movement banded together to systematically prepare to take power Day 1 and deconstruct the administrative state.”

Heritage Foundation, funded by radical Libertarian Charles Koch and company, an influential political action “think tank” dreaming big, Nazi-colored dreams of complete control, ending all hated government regulation and programs for the masses, in the name of better serving our unquestionably most important citizens. Fuck those fucking putos.
