Random thoughts Friday, Volume CLXV

  • Democrats openly mocking Comer and Jordan for the failed impeachment effort are the kind of hearings that make me hopeful the Party can and will use Republicans’ gross incompetence as an effective weapon this Congressional election season.  It’s not like Republicans haven’t been giving them ammunition for more than a year.
  • Donald Trump’s drag persona:  Anita Bond.
  • Including the latest round, President Biden has forgiven more than $140 billion in loans from four million people.  That’s a move that can positively impact three generations of a single family, and those are the impacts that echo in the ballot box.  
  • All I have to do is look at the collection of hand sanitizer and cloth masks we have to know that no, we definitely weren’t better off four years ago.
  • Over two months, Lara Trump has been a failed pop singer, a destined-to-fail RNC co-chair, and a fitness guru with less than 90% original parts.  She’s like Reject Barbie.
  • Clarence Thomas still sits on the Court.  John Oliver has an unwanted RV–pardon me, an unwanted motorcoach.  The only winner is John Oliver’s bank account, which won’t have to pay Ginny’s best friend the promised million per year.
  • No one believes Trump’s claim that he has half a billion dollars in cash, of course.  But he just gave Letitia James, E. Jean Carroll, and every other civil litigant ammo to rip apart his life to find his claimed treasure.  He’s making himself a victim again for a reason:  he has nothing else.
  • We can all agree that Preacher Johnson’s days with the gavel are numbered, but only as high as Marge can count.  The over/under is 18.
  • Should Trump choose Marco Rubio as his VP, one of them would have to move out of the Florida if (by some disaster) Trump wins in November.  That is, if the Supreme Court still upholds explicit Constitutional requirements for the candidates this time.
  • Don’t fret the DWAC deal. Truth Social potentially going public means one thing:  securities fraud charges for Donald Trump at some point in the future.
  • Along with Moskowitz and Raskin needling the non-impeachment leaders, Dark Brandon openly taking swings at Trump’s financial and legal messes makes a great one-two punch for Joe.
  • Donald Trump has been adjudicated a rapist, a financial fraudster, an adulterer and an (alleged, for now) insurrectionist. He bankrupted three casinos, a hospitality company, an airline, a charity and a fake university, not to mention a mortgage company he started in 2007 that lasted less than a year thanks to a real estate collapse he didn’t foresee.  And his cultists wonder why no one will loan him half a billion dollars?  Have they never applied for a loan?
  • Charles, Sarah and Kate all announcing cancer diagnoses within weeks of each other can devastate any family, but the stresses will be magnified under the constant watch of Britain’s infamous scandal sheet industry.
  • Republicans accepting Trump’s word that he won’t touch RNC money for his legal fees while rejecting the evidence presented that the entire Hunter Biden investigation was based on a Russian misinformation operation tells you all you need to know about where they prioritize national security versus personal power.
  • I got an email that said “Bacon can help you sleep” and I clicked it and it was from the Calm app and it was about a “sleep story” (which are basically adult bedtime stories) read by Kevin Bacon and now I feel cheated and used.  And I still want bacon.
  • MSNBC lands Ronna Romney McDaniel like a fisherman in the East River reels in a dead body.  She thinks she’s their next Michael Steele, but she lacks the charisma, intelligence and success of her predecessor.  
  • Everyone has their favorite sandwich, but every sandwich needs a side.  Pickles are practically universal, and it’s dill over sweet. I’ll typically take good chips over the typical French fries.  And if you’ve got a really good sandwich, hold off on the potato or macaroni salad.  Your taste buds’ll thank you.  
  • An earlier recommendation of Calvin & Hobbes led me to a documentary on Bill Watterson, the strip’s cartoonist, who stays out of public light.  While I understand his desire to protect the characters from commercialization by not licensing the images for use, I truly believe giving a child their own Hobbes would have ignited their creative energy, inspired their interest in the cartoon, and introduced them to their personal, unique adventures.  Y’know…. turned them into Calvins.  
  • The Republican Congressional exodus illustrates “rats from a sinking ship” perfectly from a species perspective.
