Skeets Of The Day

 

The seeing and the sightless --

 

I’m having great difficulty right now seeing how our political system doesn’t devolve into violence.

I don’t think people grasp the dream land that Democratic leaders and consultants live in. I’ve been there, heard them speak. It’s as disconnected from reality as the worst MAGA true believer.

People like Jeffries and Schumer think they are doing great and that their detractors just don’t get it. And honestly most of the Dems on Capitol Hill feel the same way.

Has it occured to them that one reason voters aren’t biting on the idea that liberal democracy is facing an existential threat is that they find it inconceivable the opposition party would be nattering about fucking egg prices if they really believed that were true?

He's our worst nightmare, too --

 

The gulf between the U.S. and Europe on the Ukraine war crystallized for Europeans at the Munich Security Conference. "Their worst nightmare has come true. They see that the Trump administration is going to bypass them and try to strong-arm Ukraine in negotiating a deal with Russia to end the war."

We don't need no stinkin' workplace safety rules! --

 

1. OSHA has ordered the digital and physical destruction of 18 publications on workplace safety practices, according to an email obtained by Popular Information. The email says the publications have been removed from the web and tells staff that physical copies should be "disposed of or recycled"

Sic transit gloria, America --

 

“America’s adversaries have long found it hard to persuade America’s allies to defect from America’s economic networks. Mr. Trump’s second term has changed their calculus.” www.nytimes.com/2025/02/17/o...

"I never thought leopards would eat my face" -- 


Over on Xitter, the Leopards have started eating Tom Cotton's face, because of his tie (which he shares with many other Republicans) to the IRI. Cotton is actually one I've watched with curiosity.

Bezos Bugle bends the knee to Musk/ Trump;  have you cancelled your subscription? --

 

The Washpost, which is bleeding millions of dollars and shrinking its staff, accepted -- and then rejected -- a $115,000 ad that criticized Elon Musk. Anyway, here's the ad that the Post's business side didn't want its readers to see ⤵️ thehill.com/media/514849...

Last Fall, the Washington Post allowed a right wing group to run a full page ad falsely attacking me for protecting voting rights. Today, Bezos' paper won't accept ads criticizing Elon Musk. Support pro-democracy media. www.democracydocket.com/me-subscribe...

WankPanzer and other exploding Muskmobile sales in the crapper  --

 

Staggering sales drops, swastika-daubed EVs, companies culling fleet models, and fan-forum owners selling their cars—Elon Musk's alt-right antics are seriously impacting his electric car business.

Feels right --

 

Feels like something they’d paint on the side of the barn in Animal Farm.
