While the Trump administration makes headlines wildly tearing down the federal government, Republicans in Congress are making sure nothing will be left except for tax cuts for the rich.
This has been the case since I was a tiny baby, blissfully unaware of the cult of supply-side economics.
If Trump Take Condiment, snack-motivated Americans might finally riot.

Three weeks in and things are looking pretty bleak. Democrats are still acting like they can wait this out until the midterms, but who knows what’ll be left of the federal government by the time Elon’s done stripping it for parts and lining his already bloated pockets.
On a positive note, a lot of the original Twilight Zone episodes hold up incredibly well over 60 years later. I stuck with the ones everyone knows, but I watched “Night of the Meek” for the first time over the holidays and it got me back to revisiting some of the more obscure ones.

The entire mainstream media and political class are acting like a fascist returning to power after an attempted coup is totally normal, and that he should be given the benefit of the doubt despite almost a decade of evidence that he’s corrupt moron who’s already done tons of damage to the country.
There’s no honeymoon period for couples that get married a second time and there shouldn’t be for dipshit ex/soon-to-be presidents. Things are going to suck and get worse from Day One, and these dopes are going to pretend not to notice for at least a year in the interest of appearing “fair.”
Hope you get to enjoy a nice long weekend before your obligations as a holiday consumer begin.

The new year has begun and so has the countdown to 24/7 election talk. Not here, though. Getting it out early while we’re all shaking off holiday hangovers and/or the latest covid surge.
I won’t keep harping on Mike Johnson and Republicans actively wanting to do a coup, that’s a well-known fact. But Schumer (and Biden) have wasted the past three years on the mixed-messaging of praising bipartisanship and working with Republicans while simultaneously claiming they’re an imminent threat to democracy. Gotta sharpen up the contrasts for the low-information dum-dums who have all our fates in their simple, fickle hands.

The holidays snuck up on me, and judging by the Halloween decorations that were up in my neighborhood until this week, the same happened to a lot of people. We finally got our tree up and I’m sure it will be providing living room cheer through most of January.
I can’t say I’ve tested any of these recipes except for Grandma’s Edibles. And now that every formerly vacant storefront in Massachusetts is a dispensary that’s oversaturated the market with affordable edibles, I don’t think I will ever again.
Mike Johnson’s still Speaker and doing evil things quietly enough to avoid much mainstream media scrutiny. The guy’s a coup true believer and Democrats better come up with a better nickname than “MAGA Mike” before it’s too late.

After three weeks of chaos, the House Republicans finally settled on their generic right-wing freak. Like everyone else, I never heard of Mike Johnson until this week. He’s a full-blown coup-thusiast, white supremacist, and evangelical anti-abortion authoritarian.
Who knows how long Johnson will keep the job, but his successor will be even more fascist if the Republicans get to pick it. This all could’ve been avoided if the insurrectionist members of Congress were expelled as the Constitution explicitly calls for. Now we’re stuck with them and if the House majority isn’t flipped by a sizable margin in 2024, they’re going to install themselves permanently.
Having fascist goons as your opponent may help increase voter turnout, but that only works if the fascists honor election results; which they’ve already shown they won’t.
