Random thoughts Friday, Volume LXV

  • Republicans want Congressional hearings on Hunter Biden, but think the Saudis giving a three billion dollars combined to Kushner and Mnuchin isn’t suspicious at all, even as Trump dangles a 2024 run.  
  • Greg Abbott’s truck inspection scam was designed to do one thing:  exacerbate supply chain issues.  It was a cynical political move and had nothing to do with public safety, and it likely cut off at the knees his chances at a White House run.
  • If Marge wants to prevent children being “groomed” for sex, she should look to shut down child “beauty” pageants, which are just excuses to dress up six and seven year old girls like teenage streetwalkers.  If she can’t find the pageants, I’m sure Gaetz and Cawthorn have them on their calendars.
  • Besides investigating how highly-classified information ended up at Mar-a-Lago in Trump’s possession should be invested.  Also needing to be investigated:  if any representatives of foreign governments who visited Mar-a-Lago and may have been shown the documents by Trump.  Or a housekeeper. 
  • Who’s the bigger pantywaist:  the guy leading the nation to record employment and economic growth who willingly wants to debate opponents, or the entire Party so scared of putting their candidates on a national stage it CANCELED presidential debates?  
  • Withdrawing from the commission on presidential debates demonstrates that the GOP has no interest in defending their positions to the American people.  Because they can’t.
  • Do all the people who say they need a gun because police responding to a call may take a few minutes to get there also say they need a fire truck and a defibrillator at their homes in case there’s no one there when the house is on fire or they have a heart attack?  Probably not, but they do have a couple dozen guns… y’know…. “just in case.”
  • Ask a “christian” DeSantis fan:  If God thinks homosexuality is so horrific, why didn’t He put it in His Top 10 list, but He put adultery at #6?  These same people condemn LGBTQ people but vote for adulterers.
  • Springtime means the return of the Irish Travelers to our region, pitching their driveway resurfacing and roofing services door to door.  (Spoiler alert:  they’re both black paint.)
  • Fun fact:  Ukraine was under the rule of the Lithuanians for more than a century longer than it was under Russian/Soviet control, but you don’t see Vilnius claiming the territory.  
  • Russians dismissing the sinking of the Moskva with the old, “Well, it was an old boat anyway…” is as bad as saying, “Well, I was gonna break up with her anyway…”
  • It’s nice that the MAGAt claiming Trump brainwashed him into attacking Congress will be going to prison.  Yes, he’s in a cult but no, it does not excuse the violence you undertook.
  • Text messages are like alcohol:  They both reveal your truths.  Text messages are self-inflicted wounds for members of the Trump cabal and their domestic terrorists.
  • Tax Day:  when people using TurboTax realize they’re paying more in federal income tax than Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk and Donald Trump combined.  
  • Grilled pineapple, dusted with a little cinnamon, is a great dessert for Easter, particularly for families serving ham or barbeque.  Drizzle on a little good balsamic, top with whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream–coconut preferred, but vanilla is good too.  (You can also make a good rum sauce if you want, but it’s a lot of work for little improvement.)
  • For people of faith, Happy Easter, Happy Ramadan and/or Happy Passover.  For everyone else, enjoy a beautiful Spring weekend.  
  • Using food as a yardstick, Easter is my least favorite of the major holidays.  
  • Hi-profile House Republicans most likely to lose reelection in 2022 (a realistic take):  Marjorie Taylor Greene, Madison Cawthorn, Matt Gaetz.  Gosar and Boehbert are unfortunately safe, as is the person I really want to see out:  Scott Perry of Pennsylvania.  
  • Did a lot of ban-hammerin’ in the last few days.  Need to rest the hammerin’ arm.
