Want that dog with catsup?
Once again I am forced to rise to the defense of Donald Trump.
Yes, I know, it’s a dirty job but someone’s gotta do it.
I think he just got a bit tongue tied in the, um, heat of the moment. I’m pretty sure he meant to say that Haitians are eating “hot dogs” in Springfield. But That Woman got into his head and he left out a word.
Not only that, but I think he wanted to say that Haitians are also eating hot dogs with cats…um, I mean with ketchup.
Anyway, give him credit for not, er, ducking the issue.
That’s all I got.
There ought to be a law…oh wait!
It is illegal for illegal immigrants to vote. Nonetheless, Republicans in Congress want Democrats to join them in passing a bill to make it illegal for illegal immigrants to vote. And if Dems don’t agree it’s clearly because they want it to be legal for illegals to vote….
….even though it’s, you know, illegal.
House Speaker Mike Johnson says the American people “want us, and they deserve us, to take this action and to make sure that illegals cannot taint the election.”
By making it illegal for illegal immigrants to vote.
Even though it is already illegal for illegal immigrants to vote.
People! I’m getting really tired of having to explain these basic legal concepts to you.
The anti-Ron puts on his authoritarian pants
The Great DeSanitizer is pulling out all the stops to keep Florida voters from protecting their reproductive rights.
As per the Miami Herald:
In the past few weeks, the DeSantis administration launched a state-sponsored website that claims the measure “threatens women’s safety.” He spearheaded a broad investigation into verified Amendment 4 petitions that has led to tens of thousands of signatures being pulled for review and state election police knocking on voters’ doors. He used his platform at a Florida GOP gathering last weekend to call out fellow Republicans by name for not yet donating money to help defeat the abortion amendment.
DeSantis enlisted his staff in the campaign, allowing his top aide to serve as the chairman for a political action committee targeting both the abortion amendment and a proposal to legalize marijuana. And earlier this year, a DeSantis appointee and longtime ally, working with other Republican political appointees on a little-known state panel, put language on the ballot questioning whether the initiative could lead to taxpayer-funded abortions.
No question our anti-Ron hates to be second guessed. Least of all by voters who really ought to just sit down, shut up and be damned glad that they live in the Free State Of Floriduh.
Anyway, I don’t know why he bothers. History shows that when state legislators don’t like petition-initiated constitutional amendments they simply ignore them.
Both sides now
Well it’s nice to know that Republicans may ease up on their racist tropes against Kamala Harris’ African-American roots (complements of her father).
If Harris is elected, says right-wing commentator Laura Loomer, “the White House will smell like curry & White House speeches will be facilitated via a call center and the American people will only be able to convey their feedback through a customer satisfaction survey at the end of the call that nobody will understand.”
This in reference to Harris’ Indian roots (complements of her mother).
Give these MAGA-gats credit for being equal opportunity racists.
The red flags were the point
The autopsy on the dissected corpse of Ben Sasse’s truncated UF presidency continues. A thoughtful Inside Higher Education piece titled “Should Sasse’s resume have raised red flags?” wonders how in the world Ben got hired in the first place.
A close investigation of Sasse’s résumé and background reveals that he has both embellished and omitted parts of his professional life…In the wake of his resignation, some critics have said red flags were apparent all along, and they question why UF took a chance on a political figure with such a varied and opaque résumé.
The article cited a “search firm insider” who said Sasse’s résumé should have included his complete work history and that his early exit from Midland (college) and the Senate should have raised questions: “What you’re describing is a pattern. And negative patterns worry search firm consultants.”
Of course, the whole premise of the article is that the presidential search process was designed to select the most competent and talented higher education professional available. That’s nonsense.
Sasse was a political dilettante who mainly got the job because he voted to impeach Trump. And with The Great DeSanitizer running (unsuccessfully as it happened) to replace Trump as GOP nominee that was “qualification” enough.
Seriously, does anybody really think the anti-Ron’s Free State Of Floriduh is a meritocracy?
Good on the ole’ ball coach
Let me say one more thing.
I haven’t been this proud of Steve Spurrier since he put the hurtin’ on Free Shoes University and won the national championship.
In the wake of the latest mass school shooting, Spurrier went on the radio with a few thoughts.
I want to say something about another coach, as a coach, a former coach myself. The coach in Winder, Georgia, Apalachee High School got killed in that mass shooting. (Ricky) Aspinwall is his name. He’s the D-coordinator there. And everybody says hearts and prayers go out.
Why in the world in America are you eligible to walk into a gun store and buy an AR-15 rifle? They should have a sign, ‘If you need a gun for mass school shootings, here’s your AR-15. We’ll give you a discount.’ Why don’t they just put that sign up there?”
That’s the only thing they’re used for. You don’t need them for self-defense. And yet we sit here and say blah, blah, blah. We’re messed up in America to allow sick people to have these guns. And it ain’t going to stop. It ain’t going to stop until they get all these guns out of the way. You can carry a six-shooter, protect yourself, which we’re all for.
College football purists may say Spurrier went “out of his lane” to talk about something so, well, political. I’d say such folks are out of their minds.
