But Seriously, Fuck This Guy

 

Sucks he's not been drummed into total irrelevance...

I wouldn't want to know him, or be a neighbor, or have to listen to him, or anything. 

Creep. 

And a coward. 

Fade away and radiate.

The Soft Bigotry Of Low Expectations

 

Gift link if you haven't seen it yet, and yeah, add me to those in agreement. 

The degree to which MAGA attitudes -- and their predecessors (Tea Party/Contract With America, Reaganites, etc.) -- were internalized and normalized by the elite media, with a lot of help from the wingers--is significant and destructive. 

But it's also generations in the making. 

Rot runs deep.

Opinions Differ

 

Just depends on perspective, I guess, though would be nice if a constitutionally protected entity would step up from the one side, the other side, two sides, both sides, and especially "we report, you decide©" that rules their world, and earn the protection. 

It's not just with economics, but that's one I also noticed. And while I won't scoff at people complaining, there was also plenty of opportunistic sniping, as evidenced by the remarkable turnaround. 

Have a good weekend.

Clown Car Filling Up Quickly

 

RFK to DHH. 

Thinking the model is government as reality television, which might be good for CBS (sarcasm), but my gut tells me actual reality might get significantly worse with a Keystone Kops Executive Branch. 

Time to fasten my seatbelt, and maybe make sure my passport is up-to-date. 

OK, Now It Has (Begun)

 

Meet the new AG designate. 

Given everything else, might be apt that Butthead replaces Milquetoast Garland, who really went above and beyond in timid institutionalism, though insipid recklessness with a few show trials for good measure is more downward spiral than upgrade. 

Welcome to the fun house.

It's Hasn't Even Begun

 

But definitely will be a horror show when it's not a freak show. 

Hang on. 

Not The Sole Reason...

 

Fox is just the most prominent, but the greater wingnut noise machine has really been demonizing pretty much anyone...to the left of TFG. 

I don't spend, well, any time in that particular swamp/sewer--one can only take so much. 

It might've been nice, however, if the outlets who consider themselves above partisan howling had  more forcefully countered the crazier talk instead of rewarding it. 

But...they didn't. 

And now we get to face the consequences.

Update: someone else said it better.
