Random thoughts Friday, Volume CXXXIX

  • Tim Scott’s girlfriend is the 2024 version of Donald Trump’s taxes.
  • The next generation of leaders of the GOP include one credibly accused of child sex trafficking, another seen fondling her partner in public, and a third who thought 9/11 was planned by the CIA.  Republicans have become their Base.
  • With her latest stunt, Lauren Boebert’s political career is over.  A primary candidate or two will file paperwork in the coming weeks.  She’s just collecting a paycheck at this point, which is a legitimate concern for a 36-year-old grandmother with no discernable skills.
  • Rudy Giuliani was accused by a female White House staffer of inappropriate behavior: not shocking.  That it was just a single staffer:  more shocking. 
  • Kevin McCarthy’s chaos makes even Republicans remember Nancy Pelosi’s tenure with appreciation.
  • Republicans threatening another government shutdown just goes to show that they’re incapable of governing.  Set aside the fact that they refuse to acknowledge our debt is largely due to their detrimental fiscal policy, they just suck at governance.
  • Is it just me, or have there been an awful lot of prison breaks lately?
  • John Durham’s assistant attorney resigned rather than participate in the weaponization of the Justice Department by Durham and Bill Barr, and yet shockingly, Jimmy Jordan isn’t call her as a witness for his weaponization committee.  It’s like Jimmy doesn’t actually want to find actually incidents of using the government against political opponents.
  • Again:  Menendez is indicted.  No Democrats are taking to the streets.  It’s not a ploy to make the DOJ seem nonpartisan. It’s because sometimes, bad things happen to bad people.
  • Sensorially, the two weeks of autumn when the leaves change is my favorite time of year.  The colors, the weather, the farm produce.  The chill in the air heightens the senses.
  • Republicans luv ‘em some government shutdowns:  the previous two were done when the GOP controlled the House, the Senate and the White House.  And who could forget the Bachmann-Cruz shutdown of 2013.
  • Straight, white, “christian” male American conservatives don’t want books written by Black, LGBTQ, non-CIS-male people used in education because those books don’t reflect their views on topics like history and civics.  America’s Black, LGBTQ, and non-CIS-male populations have had that same complaint for centuries.
  • I’d wager the late-night show writers in The Guild would have voted to ratify the contract–any contract–after seeing the Boebert theater video.
  • Pennsylvanians don’t care that John Fetterman dresses like a barber.  They care he’s not Mehmet Oz.
  • Biden started a task force against gun violence and conservatives are enraged.  That’s how irrational they are.  They don’t want to help stop violence because they love their guns too much.
  • Breakfast at restaurants is a treat. At home, I might have a bagel or cereal.  At a restaurant (without a drive thru), I’m looking for corned beef hash as a first option, then French toast as a back-up.  In the right mood, it’s some type of Eggs Benedict.  Omelets?  Not likely ordered by me; I’ll make it at home.  
  • Chillier weather means more fire-making opportunities for Mrs. Jack.  Nothing calms her more after a day of dealing with teenage students than burning things.  In the fireplace, of course.
