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.

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.

Happy turd anniversary, patriotic traitors

Time flies during a prolonged, tireless fascist takeover attempt. Already three years since some of the best people overran outnumbered police and sacked the Capitol, in the name of democracy. Of course, team MAGA blamed the government for staging this riot (never mind that they controlled the government) as well as lying woke cucks, who, they insist, dressed up in MAGA gear (on behalf of George Soros and Barbra Streisand) to make the big guy look bad by injuring 140 officers and urinating and moving their bowels in the corridors of Congress while their fellow patriots chanted for Chrumpie’s enemies to come out and be lynched. They fought like hell, or they wouldn’t have a country anymore. 

A team of MAGA lawyers is now ready to convince the Supreme Court that these fighters never disrupted an official proceeding just because they stopped the official Electoral College certification of the president-elect’s victory that was going on in both houses of Congress. Disrupting an official proceeding involves messing with official documents, according to these far right “originalist” sticklers, and few of the convicted rioters did much of that. So, according to this legal theory, they are improperly imprisoned after being convicted on shaky legal grounds.

Voltaire had the right take on all this, as we wait, during an ongoing monsoon of angry death threats to the countless targets Chrump selects, for the wave of political murders to begin:

The painter Goya had it right too: the sleep of Reason produces monsters.

“We love you…never forget this day.”

looking very satisfied with the recent rim job from his boy.

The slimy little motherfucker is down on the southern border right now, with sixty of his fellow MAGA lick spittles, pretending the worst and most pressing problem America, this nation of immigrants, faces is the immigration that his fellow Republicans have done nothing to address, except by staging aggrieved photo ops and demanding capitulation from Democrats before they will release money to our allies, and desperately needed humanitarian aid to the victims of war criminals, including the victims of some of our allies. Same with aid to farmers, same with everything else, aside from campaigning for a demented criminal.

USA! USA!!!

The haunting power of one small word

From a recent Heather Cox Richardson Letter from an American, with an ominous reminder of what we’re up against:

At the time [Trump’s second impeachment], Republican leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said that although he was voting to acquit, the proper place for Trump to face accountability was in the legal system. “President Trump is still liable for everything he did while he was in office as an ordinary citizen,” McConnell said. “He didn’t get away with anything. Yet.”

“President Trump is still liable for everything he did while he was in office as an ordinary citizen,” McConnell said. “He didn’t get away with anything.”

“Yet.”

Also in that same letter, this horrifying little nugget (with an admission about why a parade permit was never sought for the “spontaneous” march to the Capitol):

Today’s revelation showed text messages between Women for America First official Kylie Kramer and MyPillow chief executive officer Mike Lindell in which Kramer told Lindell: “[W]e are having a second stage at the Supreme Court again after the ellipse. POTUS is going to have us march there/the Capitol.  It cannot get out about the second stage because people will try and set another up and Sabotage it. It can also not get out about the march because I will be in trouble with the national park service and all the agencies but POTUS is going to just call for it ‘unexpectedly’… Only myself and [White House liaison] know full story of what is actually happening….”
