Another Trump would-be bimbo/terrorist, showed up in the news last week. Her name is Miki Larson-Olson, and she was convicted of defying police orders on the capital grounds on 1/6. Of course, when Trump found out he embraced her for the cameras. Just another example of stupid, unacceptable behavior from supposed gown-ups.
Naturally, once she had her moment in the sun this dumb broad felt compelled to open her mouth, so she bragged about how many cops it took to pull her loose from a flagpole. It’s very hard to get a chimp away from her favorite perch.
But still not satisfied, having made a total fool of herself, she went on to attack Mike Pence, claiming she wanted to see him executed for treason, in her ignorance, not realizing that her actions in attacking the capitol in order to support the attempt at a coup, could easily be interpreted as treason, making her open to the death penalty. Stupid is as stupid does.

Donald Trump is the character that Jack Nicholson plays in Carnal Knowledge. Think about that last scene with Rita Moreno. A little inside baseball

Elon Musk was on Bill Maher this week and I was elated. No, he’s not right 100% of the time but even the biggest critics have to admit that 99% isn’t bad. And even more important, he doesn’t just figure stuff out, he goes on to make it practical. That puts him in the same club as Ben Franklin and Thomas Edison.

And speaking of Maher, he did a long spiel on his “New Rules” segment on Diane Feinstein and why she should leave office now that she is cognitively impaired. I’m sure it’s going to get a lot of negative feedback, but the fact Is, if he is correct about her condition, she should leave. Congress already has way more business than it can handle even with all hands-on-deck. We need a functioning mind and body in Feinstein’s seat, especially since we have to counter all those non-functioning minds that Marjorie Taylor Greene, Matt Gaetz, Jim Jordan, and a host of others are carrying around in their asses.

Joe Biden announced his candidacy for the next election last week and all the positives and negatives are being evoked by both parties. The GOP is trying to make believe that Trump isn’t just 4 years younger, 4 decades dumber, and 4 millennium more dishonest than Biden; and the Democrats are discussing the fact that Biden will be 86 when his second term ends. If that’s the only complaint, he should be a shoe-in. No President since FDR has had the amount of success that Biden has had, and frankly no one else around right now has displayed his ability to get things done, at any level.
You don’t want Biden to run, who do you want? Sure, there are any number of young Democrats that show promise, but they are all ripening on the vine. None has been able to list even a small percentage of Biden’s achievements, and none have been able to show Biden’s command of his fractious Party.
On the other side we have another old guy, but one with a record of failure, stupidity, and the kind of criminal behavior that would get a regular citizen a seat in a jail cell.
I just watched a TV segment in which an intelligent sounding, functional appearing young black woman somewhere in Pennsylvania couldn’t find enough difference between Biden and Trump, to be inspired to go out and vote. My reaction is, despite this woman’s appearance of having it all together she is really too dumb to include in a discussion. Good God, what does a politician have to do to separate himself from the crowd?
If you can’t find a definitive difference between a Biden and a Trump you are either deaf, dumb, blind, or too stupid to vote.

Greg Abbott, Governor of Texas appears to be driven to prove that he is the most ignorant politician ever to hold a position that seems to lend itself to uber ignorance. After all, he was preceded by George Bush and Rick Perry, two of the dumbest clowns ever to wear a governor’s hat.
So, what has this moron done now, to bring him to the attention of the rest of the world? How about this quote?
“I’ve announced a $50K reward for info on the criminal who killed 5 illegal immigrants Friday.”
Yup, that’s what Greg is worried about. They were illegal immigrants. The fact that this mad dog killer murdered five people, one of whom was a nine-year-old kid, was of little importance to him. What really mattered is that he had illegal immigrants running free in his state. That was the big deal. Ever since he was elected Greg has been working to prove he is a bigot and a hater. He has certainly proved it now. Hopefully, he has proved it to a majority of Texans. The question is, has he also proved it to enough like-minded ignorant assholes to get elected again?

So, Fox chickened out and fired Tucker Carlson. Their version of the story; “he crossed the line.” What line? The line by which humanity establishes the difference between itself and the animal kingdom? It wasn’t Tucker that established Fox as a bigoted, misogynistic, white boys club, built on waves of hate, white superiority, and a group distain for women and minorities. That was a guy named Rupert Murdoch. He owns and controls the whole Fox Empire. He’s the scum that destroyed British journalism before bringing his accumulation of hatred, bigotry, and softcore porn here to try again on the American version.
Carlson is only one of many so-called TV “journalists” who have spread a monologue of hatred, lies, and bigotry to viewers who want to hear precisely that message.
But Tucker isn’t the only voice dedicated to pure bullshit. Maria Bartiromo, Greg Gutfeld, Bill Bennett, Sean Hannity, David Asman, Tammy Bruce, Laura Ingraham, Janine Pirro, and a host of others have lied to spread the message of Murdoch. Some have preceded Carlson out the door and some are still there waiting, but they all did what they did in service to Fox. They all lied to make the viewers happy so they would buy the products advertised on Fox because that’s what it’s about baby. At least on Fox.
