How Many More Times?

…will McConnell stand up in public getting his due for decades of right wing deception and depravity? I’m guessing the most imminently pressing RINO issue WRT geriatric legislators is figuring out how to keep his vote as long as possible. Then there’s Grassley. And Feinstein. And… The man himself is long gone. I wonder if he’s thinking “why can’t I talk?” Or maybe “crap, now we’re really fucked.”

It’s no longer about legislating or governing. The dysfunction clearly evident in DC today says it all. They’re just clinging to power.

Top U.S. Senate Republican Mitch McConnell appears to freeze up for more than 30 seconds during a public appearance before he was escorted away, the second such incident in a little more than a month, after an event with the Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce in Covington, Kentucky, U.S. August 30, 2023 in a still image from video.

All Sources Lean Right

Who’s covering what? Depends on the story. If your readers and viewers like it, it’s leading. If not, it’s ignored. Inject misinformation, if it’s something in-between that may be slanted in your preferred political direction.

The 2020 BLM riots are water long under the bridge – except for racist right wingers worried about their fuckwit friends in a DC jail.

$5M appears to be the lesser of two evils, in this case.

Journalism’s Miserable Failure

After a momentous week of GOP debate, Trump’s arrest gets “horse race” coverage when the story’s not about an election, but authoritarianism.

I don’t think alot of people realize the danger posed by propagandized stupidity at scale.

Can’t Understand Ramaswamy

…with Trump’s dick crammed down his throat. Anybody who saw him on Meet the Press today now knows he’s just another Trump apologist, pandering for MAGA votes. His policy and ethical about-faces amount to 360° spins in some cases. Most disgusting demonstration of political fast-talking fuckery I’ve seen in awhile. But I didn’t watch the debate.

“During a chaotic interview on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Republican presidential nomination contender Vivek Ramaswamy accused host Dana Bash of not being “intellectually honest” as she grilled him for equating Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) — who is black — with “the modern grand wizards of the modern KKK.”Asking if he wanted to walk back his inflammatory comments, he refused and what ensued was a back and forth where he refused to stop talking.”

What makes him think the MAGA mutherfuckers gonna vote for him? His name doesn’t even sound right, to them.

Give It Up

Give the people what they need – not what the doctors and authoritarian whackos want. $3.8 Billion with a B. That’s the number for 2022 Colorado Cannabis Tax Revenue. Not overall revenue – just the tax. I gave up the med card this year, just because I’d prefer my contributions going to the schools, not the doctors.

There are still waaaaaay too many fools smoking cigarettes at triple the heavy metals concentrations found in even illicit weed. I guess that’s just one example of how the natural selection evolutionary process works. Alcohol also appears to be a sort of self-remediating self-medication option, with numerous potential fatal health outcomes awaiting the boozers in their degenerative golden years.

Nobody in this state has any issues getting all the Cannabis they want – except possibly the price barrier. All we’ve done with the state regulatory program is employ a bunch of people making it more expensive and time-consuming for everyone. The only outcomes from ALL Cannabis-related laws simply disappearing from the books overnight, would be alot more satisfied customers, happy store owners, prosperous growers and the disappearance of the black market.

Bet those bastards were toking up quite regularly, back in the day.

The More Things Change…

…the more they don’t? I wasn’t around at the turn of the last century, but from what I can tell, media sensationalism is still alive and well today. I guess the change as t’were, means including all the ephemeral electronic hogwash floating around on the social media cesspool and elsewhere in the cyber realm. And remember: the traditional outlets been doing it online and over the airwaves all along.

Doing what? Yellow Journalism. Fake News is just a new term for the same old shyt. Only real difference now is politics isn’t the primary topic pervading the marketing message everywhere you turn. I no longer participate much in the social media scene except for the occasional snipe at some of the most egregious offenders coming to my attention from time-to-time. But I see it all over Youtube™ now – people scrambling to be the first to slant the latest headline in whatever direction their proclivities take them. The scary part to me me at this stage is, where do the Mega Churches go from here? Guess it just depends on whether or not they can find the right IT staff.

Considering the marketing, sales and promotional crap of all kinds being foisted on receptive targets at scale all across the cyber realm today, the competition for your attention, time and money has never been keener. AI’s been here all along – it just recently came out of the closet, and you are it’s avowed electronic marketing target. There’s plenty of money to go around, but as long as the main point for earners on the cyber stage is making more of it, we’ll be doing the Yellow Journalism thing for a long time to come.

Too bad all the trees Hearst killed to print his papers weren’t publishing more in the way of truth – the greenhouse deficit might be reversed. Funny how alleged crime seems to be such a central theme in all the MAGA crap, eh? Bandits knew right from the beginning how the number of gullible, stupid people out there represents a tremendous opportunity. Don’t give it to them!

Pence Has “No Knowledge”

Left at that, it might be the first Mike Dense public utterance I ever actually agreed with. The list of things this spineless weasel has no knowledge of is long and comprehensive. Why the cowardy POS didn’t blow the lid off it weeks or months before probably lines up. He was just a toady stooge, told only enough to keep him in line.

CHATSUM: Former Vice President Mike Pence stated that he was not aware of any broad-based effort by Donald Trump to declassify documents before leaving the White House, although he acknowledged that the White House does have a process for declassifying materials.

Ya think? Mum’s the word, eh mutherfucker?

Keep your fingers crossed indictment material against your sorry cocksucking ass doesn’t turn up in the process of ongoing investigations, fuckwit.

Bargaining Chip

North Korea says US soldier fled because of racism in army.

Well of course they’re gonna say that, or something similar. It’s enough of a generalized hot-button topic half the people are gonna believe no matter what anyway. We already know that’s false, because the U.S. Army demographic leans more heavily into the people of color than all the rest, just to start. I’m the proud owner of a newly minted black USAF Chief. They’ve got to be kidding.

No, I’m afraid whatever Travis got into was bad enough to get him sent home. Alot of people don’t seem to understand how one of the biggest military bills we have to pay is just moving people around. So yeah, he stepped on it big time with some assault charge and decided to do a runner. Now he’s a bargaining chip. Good luck with that. There’s at least a couple I know of sitting in Russia right now worth far more than young Mr. King.

If he was feeling butthurt in the Army, he’s got another thing comin’.

Who’s kiddin’ more – the BBC or the DPRK?
