- I’d like to celebrate Southern history by erecting a statue to General William T. Sherman holding a torch in Atlanta, with a plaque reading, “Burn the motherfucker down.” And another one in Savannah. And put a statue of a Union soldier on every plantation house property liberated by US forces in 1865. That’s true American heritage that should be honored and celebrated.
- Republicans may say that they believe the truth shall set them free, but they know their silence will get them money.
- The only thing funnier than Andrew Giuliani claiming that he’s been in politics over five decades is Andrew Giuliani thinking he can run the nation’s largest city because he was a spoiled brat on television when he was three. Apparently, it wasn’t “just a phase.”
- It’s not baffling in the least that the GOP voted against the January 6th commission. It clearly would come out with conclusions unfavorable to individual Republicans and the GOP as a whole. With Democrats running investigations in the House and Senate, Republicans will now never stop bitching about partisanship, which they caused.
- She’s threatened and harassed members of Congress. She’s downplayed the Holocaust. She’s claimed the Las Vegas mass murder was a hoax. She blamed wildfires on Jewish Space Lasers. Obviously, nothing Marjorie Taylor Greene says will earn a rebuke from Republicans… unless she rebukes Donald Trump.
- If just one of the potential alternatives to the current filibuster, which requires 60 votes to stop a filibuster, was in play today–that alternative being 60% of votes needed to move the legislation–the January 6th commission would have passed. Another alternative–that it would require 40 votes to continue a filibuster–would have also secured the commission.
- The pup is getting annoyed with the constant buzz of the Brood X cicadas. He gives a stern “woof” whenever he goes outside, like a canine “shush.” In case you’re wondering what the cicadas sound like, it’s like a constant phaser from Star Trek going off in the background.
- Gaetz: “The Second Amendment is not about, it’s not about hunting. It’s not about recreation. It’s not about sports. The Second Amendment is about maintaining within the citizenry the ability to maintain an armed rebellion against the government.” Sorry, Matty, the Second Amendment is about arming the militia, with Article 1 Section 15, empowering Congress “to provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions.” [My emphasis.] I’ll bet Matty missed Congress’s duty to suppress to insurrections like Matty called for.
- You wanna get Middle America vaccinated? Have them run the commercial with those brats singing “1-877-KARS-4-KIDS” consecutively on radio and TV until we hit 80% vaccinated. They don’t stop until everyone eligible for a vaccine gets one.
- Another mass murder just four days after our last mass murder. At this rate, there’ll always be too soon to discuss gun control, I s’pose.
- A recent poll found that 28% of Republicans believe in the QAnon theory. It sounds like a lot but 28% of Republicans is actually just 8% of the US population. That’s fewer people than believe in Bigfoot (11%).
- Top barbeque foods: Hot dog, corn on the cob, cheeseburger, deviled eggs, baked beans. Someone will always bring potato salad. Those people should be shunned.
- Nothing says “summer is coming” like the ice cream shack up the street opening up.
- Enjoy your Memorial Day weekend, but please take a moment to remember who Memorial Day honors: those who sacrificed their lives to protect our nation, like Brian Sicknick.
