Day 978 – Unfair and Unbalanced

Saturday, September 23, 2023

Finally, we are seeing some people calling out the Margorie Taylor-Greenes and the Lauren Boeberts of the world for what they are – performers. Nihilistic performers to be more accurate. Who have no intention of governing, or solving problems, or protecting democracy or the Constitution. It’s a start.

Meanwhile, I keep wondering if there isn’t a way to get around Tubberville’s blockade of military appointments. I keep hearing people tell us how dangerous this is. Yeah? So What? Three got through because Tommy let them through. Many say that was a mistake. It should have been all 400 or nothing. I don’t know. Why not let one person plug up the works? Like the old joke about who should be in charge of the body (this is an anatomy joke – btw). The rectum thought it should be the leader and tightened up until every other organ was about to fail so they let him be in charge.

Mitch is silent about this. He seems barely able to walk, forget talking. some say he could threaten Tubberville with stripping him of his assignments, etc. But what if he keeps the sphincter tight?

In other news, (not news really – more confirmation) Senator Menedez has been charged with taking bribes. Like gold bars and cash. I know the right will go crazy saying, “See they do it too!” But he pales in comparison to those on the right. Speaking of which Clarence Thomas has been revealed as having taken more lavish gifts. This time from the Koch brothers. Is it fair to say brothers, now that one is dead? Thomas was at a political event and fund raiser. A big no-no for other judges below the level of Supreme Court. Koch Industries stated that he was only at the dinner, not the part where they asked for money. See? No problem. 

Koch also was caught saying that for donors to meet a high level official was a big deal. So what? Do they (Koch) have any business before the Court? Well, yeah. They’ve got a case that could destroy government regulation as we know it. See, instead of having people who devote their lives to studying and making recommendations and regulations we could have a judge who knows nothing decide if whatever the regulation that is established is a good idea. In other words, this would destroy government regulation as we know it. It would destroy our government. Something the Kochs have been pushing for decades under the guise of Liberarianism. I wonder if the common folk show up at their door with pitchforks (now upgrades to AR-15s) that they cry, “Freedom!”)

Oh yes, and Clarence for having shown up at several Koch fund raisers and taken private jets to get there says that well, shucks, it was just oversight on his part. Well, not on this one, but that’s what he has said in the past. What makes this especially rich (heinous?) is that he has let innocent people go to their death because they didn’t file the paper paperwork in time or they had minor clerical errors. Maybe, that’s what we need – more death penalties for such things?

Great twitter thingee. Or should I call it X and Xer? (Doesn’t have the same ring.) There’s a picture of Boebert in the House chamber. She’s at the speaker’s lecturn. Behind her is sitting a guy with a thought bubble saying, “I wonder if she wants to go to a movie?” Ha ha. Get it?

BTW – Can’t anyone start a business called “X” and not worry about being sued for copyright or trademark infringement? Remember IBM and their operating system “2”? Or Intel and the 486 chip? Intel called the next one “Pentium,” to avoid these problems. See, you can’t sue someone for using the number 2. What about X? What about capital X with a long right bottom leg like Xfinity uses? I dunno.

Watch for my new company X-ercise. A legal fight for your rights, diet and exercise and trademark and patent infringement solutions company. “We X-terminate the competition” (or fat, or what ever.)

Meanwhile, Kevin is pushing forward an impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden. Why not? No facts? No problem? Great theater. Would someone arrest Matt Gaez for child sexual assault and get it over with?

David Brooke actually apologized. He tweeted or X’ed that he paid $78 for a hamburger at Newark Airport. the restaurant came back and said the burger was $17 and the rest was liquor. There has been no end to the grief he has taken. On PBS he actually apologized, said he was trying to be funny and he shouldn’t have done that X. (tweet? Sweet? Whatever.)
