Everyone with an interest in the economy tanking, so as to exploit employees rapaciously for a few more quarters, is telling us the economy is about to tank. For example, this putz. Although, to be fair, the WSJ Op-Ed page is basically lies and propaganda so you have to take it all with a brick of salt.

And yet… the dollar keeps going up? Hmmm.

They sang WHAT?

Now I am normally a “vote blue, no matter who” kinda guy.

But.

House Democrats sang God Bless America on the Capitol steps as the chants of protesters could be heard from Supreme Court after the Roe v Wade decision.

Yeah… so that happened. Tone deaf doesn’t even scratch the surface of this. This is what the Democrats in Congress do while a secular, diverse political order is nuked to make way for a Christo-fascist regime. Fuck these people. Never getting another vote or campaign dollar from me.

From Roe v. Wade to the latest rulings on Miranda rights, mandatory school prayer, and mandatory funding of religious schools from public money, this court is coming to tear down every single instance of individual rights INCLUDING the 1st Amendment.

Except, of course, the Holy Second. Just as Jesus taught it, in the Sermon on the Mount. I am sure. That will be the last “right” standing: then the fascist regime will come for them too.

I hope to be gone before it gets to that point.

Can this dumpster fire be put out?

Just a random collection of images from my stream this morning:

For whatever reason, refusing to wear a mask to protect others from disease
is now a key component of fascist political ideology

Unmasked fascist police escort masked fascist activists (styled “proud boys”) to disrupt children’s program at public library. *Good thing it was daytime or they might also have made a bonfire of the books, because, why not?* Click through for story.

Sitting Congressman commits sedition, blames intern, will totally get away with it. If you think he won’t, offer me a bet.

“We cannot possibly provide health care for our citizens;
it’s so hard!” says the richest country in the world.
You know it’s true: only 19 of the top 20
richest countries in the world have managed it.

Because every Rethuglican is suckling at the oil money teat, silly!

The USA, on its way to full-on genocidal fascism, is also taking time to get just plain meaner. At this point these questions are equally debatable in my mind: Can this country be saved? Should it be?

Hijinks by Tourists.
Nothing to see here.

These hearings might actually be starting to draw blood. Here’s hoping they can tamp down Rethuglican gains in November, and get some people thrown in jail. If not Pumpkin (dare we hope!?), then at least maybe a few people he shares a name with.
