1/ Good morning, Mr. and Mrs. America and all the ships at sea.

Let's review the bidding: the governors of two of the largest states are letting COVID burn because muh freedumb plays to an audience of a network owned by a crank Aussie billionaire.

2/ Yesterday, one member of the US Senate said it was just fine for a President of the United States to plot an overthrow of the election with his claque of skells, mooks, jabrones, degenerate fops, soulless harpies, wannabe Leninists, and natpop snake-human hybrids.

3/ Another U.S. Senator is the leading antivaxxer in American public life, again lying that muh freedumb is at stake if we all just try to work together to defeat COVID.

There's a reason he's a consistent finalist on America's Most Punchable.

4/ The largest and most important GOP fundraising tool has been shown to be a giant interlocking set of quasi-lawless griftmachines bleeding granny of her social security checks due to dark pattern UI designs on their email floods -- and that story isn't even NEARLY told yet.

5/ Donald Trump is running for President again, and all the major donors flooding Tim Scott (the new hotness) after abandoning Ron DeSantis (old and busted) can't do a damn thing about it.

6/ Danny Bongdildo is launching a new payment service (FashBux? NazPay? Qelle? DickCoin?) at the same moment he's in a nuclear slap fight with Team Trump for censoring the latest Big Lie muh-stolen-election effluvium to trickle out of Trump's blubbery lie hole.

7/ Ted Cruz is grunting about muh mandates because, once again, it's all about 2024. He's the perfect slurry of oleaginous, delusional, and cynical.

Words heralding the Apocaplyse: "President Ted Cruz."

8/ The old GOP model of "the best government is local" and "muh 10th Admt" is gone and now telling local school districts and local health departments what to do.

Nothing but trolling, all the way down.

Because muh freedumb.

9/ People who absolutely know better assert the response to COVID is some nefarious Marxist plot to control Murica and impose gay sharia marriage or whatever nightmare closet hoo-ha fills their agitprop spank bank.

10/ 2028 GOP presidential nominee Tucker Carlson spent a week politically fellating the dictator of Hungary yet is somehow still on the air and considered an intellectual light of the party.

11/ This is how the world ends, not with bang but with a Fox News hit followed by a fundraising email.

12/ Done for now.

2. Rick Wilson certainly has a way with words.

And I'm LMAO to keep from crying because it's 100% painfully true.

5. Correction: a crank Aussie billionaire and Saudi Arabia

and neither is particularly interested in the health of democracy in the USA.

I'm frustrated by the lack of PSAs that point out "muh freedumb" is perfectly intact at home and even in church (thanks to a boneheaded USSC ruling). It just gets restricted when they go out in public, like having to drive 35 in residential areas instead of opening 'er up to see how fast she'll go. There are rules for being in public. They can burp, scratch, fart, and go maskless at home.

6. "his claque of skells, mooks, jabrones, degenerate fops, soulless harpies, wannabe Leninists...."

Say what you will about Rick Wilson, but the man knows how to use a thesaurus.

I am very wary of the never-Trumper Republicans who've temporarily aligned themselves with us and are constantly trying to tug the Democratic Party rightward so we can Win With Center-Rightism™️, but I appreciate their help in keeping the focus on Republican duplicity and criminality.

7. Ted Cruz can't be Prez without a Constitutional Amendment

... but other than that - he's right-on about everything.

8. IIRC, Cruz's mother is American-born, so it doesn't matter where he was born....

Some wanted to make something about McCain being born in Panama, too. Nope.

We went thru all this with the lies about Obama, whose mother was not only American-born but gave birth to him in the actual USA — but as you may have observed, he’s not only a Democrat, he’s also Black. Certain people never got over that.

Those other guys — Republican and White. Need I say more?

Cynically yours,
H
