Last week I did a post called "So much shit, so little time".
I had hoped that I wouldn't need to revisit that concept so soon just 1 week later.
But between Donald Trump, his brain dead MAGA zombies and right wing nut cases, well, it's hard to narrow down any one topic that I feel compelled to cover in this space.
So alas...
So Much Shit, So Little Time II - Electric Boogaloo
And we're off!
So much shit, so little time!
President Donald Trump was giving a speech at the National Rifle Association’s conference in Indianapolis on Friday when Li'l Donnie hit on the number one danger to America!
So Trump grew a pair and challenged the NRA's refusal to allow any sort of gun control?
Fuck NO! This god is damn Donald motherfucking Trump!
Of course he found something other than guns to go after.
“Upon my inauguration, I will direct the FDA to convene an independent outside panel to investigate whether transgender hormone treatments and ideology increase the risk of extreme depression, aggression and even violence."
Then Li'l Donnie added this catty aside: “I think most of us already know the answer."
So much shit, so little time!
By and by, transgender people are still the favorite target for Republicans who aren't even bothering to pretend it's about protecting children anymore.
It's just about attacking any and all transgender persons.
For example, speaking at the Florida state capital on Monday, Rep. Webster Barnaby called transgender people “demons and imps who come and parade before us and pretend that you are part of this world."
So much shit, so little time!
It's back to the NRA conference where Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem was making a speech and declared it's untrue that NRA is just filled with “old white guys” and that the NRA is way more diverse than that.
Then the camera panned over the audience... of mostly old white guys.
Do they not realize we can see them?
Oh, and Noem also bragged her 2 year old grandson as guns.
Several guns.
God, I hope she means Nerf guns.
Mike Pence made an appearance at the National Rifle Association convention which is being held in his home state.
Mike Pence: “Hello, NRA!”
Audience: "BOOOOOOOOOO!!!!"
Mike Pence: “I love you, too."
The vocal disapproval appears to have absolutely nothing to do with Pence's views on guns (which are pretty much in lock step with the Republican Party: "You can have all the guns you want!") but rather was in response to Pence agreeing to stop challenging a subpoena for him to testify in a Department Of Justice investigation of Trump’s actions surrounding the insurrection in Washington on Jan. 6, 2021.
Pence did get some favorable reaction to this policy proposal: “The time has come to institute a federal death penalty statute, with accelerated appeal, to ensure that those who engage in mass shootings face execution in months, not years."
So if you're the victim of a mass shooting bleeding out on the cold floor of a school or church or bank or whatever, please die in the comfort of knowing we will kill your killer back quickly.
Unless they kill themselves first or are shot by police on the scene which is I think what happens to most mass shooters.
So much shit, so little time!
Donald Trump raised a combined $34 million in the first quarter through his joint fundraising committee and his campaign.
Now here's the part that will piss you off.
$15.4 million of that total was raised AFTER he was indicted for on 34 felony accounts of falsifying financial records.
So much shit, so little time!
So there's a big tizzy of a stink over a kerfluffle about classified Pentagon documents about the war in Ukraine being misappropriated and leaked. And it appears the fickle finger of fate is pointed at Massachusetts Air National Guardsman Jack Teixeira.
Now the MAGA morons have long been in snit that the United States is supporting the duly elected government of Ukraine against the unwarranted aggression of Vladmir Putin and the Russian army.
Why? I think it might have to do with some MAGAs thinking Hillary Clinton's email server is Ukraine, maybe? Or something to do with Hunter Biden's laptop? Fuck if I know!
Unfortunately, the leaking of classified Pentagon documents about the war in Ukraine has played into every bat shit conspiracy theory about why Ukraine is bad and Russia is not.
And speaking of "bat shit"....
Marjorie Taylor Greene immediately leapt to Teixeira's defense and bemoaned he was “being treated like a traitor and criminal.”
Greene has suggested the guardsman was singled out because he's white, male and Christian.
So much shit, so little time!
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed a bill late Thursday night banning abortion after six weeks.
Since a lot of women don't know their pregnant that quickly, let's call it what is, a ban on abortions.
Sadly this act to deny women any rights over their own bodies is not unique with Republican governors and legislatures passing abortion restrictions as fast as they can in the wake of the Supreme Court overturning Roe V. Wade.
What makes DeSantis' bill signing particularly craven and cowardly way he went about it. Out of town "not" campaigning for President, DeSatanis snuck into town and signed the bill Thursday night at 10:30 PM.
He was back out of town the next day "not" campaigning for President where he delivered a speech at the arch conservative Liberty University and made no reference to the bill he just signed.
The stricter you are on abortion rights, the better it plays with the extreme right wing evangelical base of the Republican Party and the better that helps DeSantis in the primary elections.
That same super strict on abortion strategy will likely fuck up his chances in a general election. So DeSantis restricts abortion rights on the down low knowing the rank and file know what he done did but hopes the general populace isn't paying attention.
Well, we are paying attention and it just show Ron DeSantis for the coward he is.
So much shit, so little time, indeed. And fuck it, that's not even all of it.
