"Raining on His Parade" Funnies

Was it just a week ago ...
That seemed like a big deal at the time, didn't it. Over the past seven days, several brand new shitshows blew up. With limited commentary from me and marginally in chronological order...

"I think Israel has enough problems without kidnapping Greta Thunberg." -- Trump

He meant that sarcastically, but he stumbled right into the truth.
When Padilla interrupted Noem during her press conference to try to ask a question, the DHS secretary had just said that her agents were in Los Angeles "to liberate this city from the socialist and the burdensome leadership that this governor and this mayor have placed on this country."

Might collate some No Kings protest photos and signs later if I feel like it.

Everybody's Fighting Funnies

Ohhh myyy, what a week.

I thought I was going to have to do another Dumbocrats post, But Lonnie and Donnie's Smackdown came to my rescue. All the Blue crew who said they saw it coming ... no they d'int. Not like this. All the MAGA who called it kayfabe ... you're full of it, too. So the blast radius expanded, the Earth was scorched, but the fallout will last for -- well, probably a few days before Trump drops another nuke, figuratively or Gawd forbid literally.


Seriously; there are considerably more important topics troubling the nation and the planet than whether or not two billionaire egomaniacs have reconcilable differences or don't.
But fight amongst themselves some must, and I'm just here to document the atrocities.
If I were a Texas Democrat, I would hope that they can find someone other than Olivia Julianna to advise their candidates on how to speak dudebro. And I wouldn't get too excited about James Talarico's chances against Ken Paxton -- or John Cornyn, for that matter -- in November, 2026. For a multitude of the same old reasons, none of which include fundraising.
Don't miss the big holiday festivities this month: Pride.
You're not gonna fly anywhere on your vacation this year, are ya?
Los Angeles exploded over the weekend, with ICE cracking down, migrant supporters pushing back, and both labor and Cali's blue politicians raising the stakes after SEIU's David Huerta got injured while being arrested. And now Trump is calling in the National Guard, and Pete Hegseth is threatening to send Marines into the streets.
And there's a volatile situation in the Mediterranean.

So I'll wrap today wih The Stooges, keeping themselves topically relevant after nearly a century with some mockery of Bobby Junior.
