“What Me Worry?”
to another level

We saw Wicked – finally. In a movie theater.
It was different than the play. They didn’t play up the mall rat speak of Galinda, the good witch. They tried. They hinted at it, but it didn’t quite come off, which was okay. What they did instead was to play up Elphaba, the green one, and how she was really smart and good and trying. This as opposed to everyone else who was just keeping their heads down and trying to be one of the gang. Talk about a pastiche for what is going on right now in this country. Oh man. It was spot on.
They saw cruelty and did nothing. They pretended not to see. They heard gaslighting reasoning and went along.
In other news, I read last night how a person was fired from the Park Service. It was heartbreaking. A job they loved. Naturally, it was done in as cruel as bureaucratically possible. No warning. Cutoff from all systems. Boom. See ya.
I had heard that USAID folks were let go with no warning and cut off from the app that would allow them to be extracted if in danger. This is the kind of thing Trump did to Comey. Fired him when he was out west and they got pissed when he heard that Comey took the FBI jet back to the east coast.
It’s also interesting that I have heard of no fraud or abuse that has been found. I have heard:
– The interestingly only the agencies that are investigating Musk and his companies are being whittled down or done away with.
– That six AGs have quit rather than drop charges against the NYC mayor. One of them is an arch conservative. And the thing is they aren’t dropping the charges, just letting them sit and fester to see how well Adams does in letting ICE into churches, jails, and hospitals to rip people out of those places.
– That Guantanamo is going to be used for hard care criminals that are to be deported. Yet, those that have been sent there don’t fit that description.
– That they let everyone go who was taking care of our nuclear weapons and decided to let them back in on a provisional basis.
– That spending and the economy is way down. That everything Trump complained about being too expensive under Biden is up, way up. Eggs, Gas, clothing – doesn’t matter it’s up.
– We now have an HHS Secretary that says we should take an eight year break from vaccine research. This while an outbreak of measles is in Texas, ebola in Africa, and bird flu has moved to cows and humans.
– We have the main author of dismantling the government as outlined in Project 2025 is now head of OMB.
– Elon has called for the blocking of Reuters from having a government contract. The Reuters he is referring to is a separate company from the Reuters the news service that has written investigative articles about his companies. Well, they are owned by the same parent company so close enough.
Carry on.
I have to wonder when will reality hit them so hard that they will be washed away, and what will be left when it does?
Yes. Well. Important matters await my immediate attention. I need to see about repairs to the Bat Signal. After those damn kids crawled all over it. Fortunately, or unfortunately they didn’t turn it one when one of them was on the lens. Could have fried them. It’s dangerous when you don’t know what you are doing. But if you don’t know? Well, C’est la vie. (That French or is it Spanish, for ”i’m sorry they don’t live here anymore.”)
There is also a Tuberculosis outbreak in Kansas. I am so blown away by anti-vax idiots. Their stupidity will kill so many people needlessly.
I am trying so hard not to get too worked up but everyday the havoc the three are wreaking is beyond belief. Musk did say it was going to cause misery. When will the misery hit their constituents? Right now the MAGA vermin are cheering them on. Is it just Liberals that are poor, gay and refugees?
I am so disappointed in the Democrats. How could they not see this coming on?
I just want to know if there’s anything that could get those spineless asshole GOP congress members to do anything. I’m pretty sure if the shit that’s gone down already hasn’t done it, nothing will. I hope they all burn in hell or whatever is worse. I have ideas.
The cruelty is the point. These are not nice people. My friends daughter is in the last part of getting her dream job with the Fed. Well, . . . was. . . he is heart broken. But, hey, all those farmers that voted for tRump and the Muskrat, well, we told ya, and yeah, doesn’t make me feel any better. I refuse to take all this on. Gonna keep talking to strangers, gonna keep riding my wheel and making cool stuff. . . hang in there, it’s going to get bumpy.
