Bad news Thursday

Lotta bad news out there today.

  • President Fuckwit is in China, where he will undoubtedly hasten America’s demise and China’s rise as world power. Convict Donny should not be within a mile of another world leader – he’s a one-man wrecking crew, destroying everything around him. Economies. Reputations. Rule of law. Military pride and honor. He is chaos personified.
  • Malachi Moreno is probably going to the NBA, not returning to UK. Hasn’t happened yet, but if it does it’s terrible, terrible news for the Cats.
  • KY’s weirdo Senators, Rand Paul and Thomas Massie, are getting drawn into anti-Semetic discussions. Paul’s son just got drunk somewhere and shouted a bunch of Jewish hate at the wrong person. Paul and Massie have the single positive trait of standing up to Trump when almost no other Senator will. It’ll be interesting to see how their being dragged into pro/con Israel discussions and hate speech will affect them.
  • The White House is suspending $1.3B in Medicaid funds owed to CA, because of course they are. Why miss a chance to stop poor people getting health care? That’s a win for the MAGA cruelty cult.
  • At least the MAGA idiots who sent Donny Convict $60M in advance payments for a golden Trump Phone now understand that they got scammed, that there will be no phones delivered. And no money refunded. You would think they’d turn on Trump for stealing from them, but nope. They’ll just forgive him and move on.
  • California has only 3-4 weeks of gasoline supply left, with no crude arriving due to the Iran war and Hormuz blockage. Gasoline there is already $6-$7 per gallon, and it will soar even higher once supply-side problems hit. I remember the gas supply problems in the mid-70s, and it was ugly. Things are about to get much tougher, financially.
  • Our education system is pretty much broken, and we’ve got wrestling queen Linda McMahan in charge. It’ll take a generation or two to turn things around (if we ever get sane people in charge), but meanwhile our kids will suffer.
  • SCOTUS has made sure that that the Congressional gerrymander wars will now be with us forever. Politicians now get to choose their voters, not vice versa. More chaos for the voting process. And the southern states – SC, AL, LA, MS, GA, TN, FL – have gone full Jim Crow. There will be no black or Democrat representative from any of those states, thanks to SCOTUS.

I could go on, but that’s quite enough. It’s a bit exhausting to take it all in.
