Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby’s response was masterful and on target. If you haven’t looked at the clip linked above in the text, do so when you get a chance. Front and center, over and over again. Stay on message and let’s not quit.
These are serious times and we are faced with serious challenges. We need serious people to solve them. There are no Republicans that can rise to this level. Too many in our society appear to like instantaneous comebacks that while lacking content or weight, make great sound bites. Too bad. Let’s keep the pressure on Republican proposed policies and their consequences, as well as on their actions.
They are going off the deep end on ‘censorship’ and Vivek Ramaswamy just went on a long tirade on Charlie Kirk’s podcast yesterday, after an appearance at the Young Fuckups PAC grope-a-thon or whatever Kirk’s group is called.
I am sure it is quite persuasive for the RW fuckoffs. Ramaswamy was blaming everything, including J6, on how censorship has been silencing the RW until they boil over. How the suppressed Hunter Biden story rigged our elections. It’s all the same kind of stuff, but it seems that the random conspiracy theories can be tidied up, the crazier stuff tamped down, and sound somewhat reasonable saying the Deep State, Dems, and Media are all conspiring to brainwash everyone and put a cork in righteous RW expression.
The more the Republicans let RFK Jr speak the more people can hear what a loon he is, and which in turn allows more clips of Republicans being totally insane while questioning RFK Jr.
(Have the House Republicans turned to that long famous entertainment company Shitshow Productions again?)
These are unlikely objects for the magpie (or maybe he’s a packrat–pick the metaphor you find more insulting) to fixate on. They are ceramic oil lamps and it is unlikely that they are glazed. If someone didn’t know their provenance they probably wouldn’t get a second glance.
It’s possible that the Lust Object might have learned about them and glommed onto them. The big puzzle is how they ended up at the White House for someone in The Fat Guy’s entourage to have shipped to MaL. They weren’t loaned to the White House: they were loaned to someone (I can’t tell who, the article is behind a paywall, but in DC it’s probably the Smithsonian) for an exhibition in 2019 and then got caught up in the COVID mishegaas.
It is not only the cruelty, but increasingly the dehuminization. Gov. Abbott feels free to use desperate migrants as political pawns because in his eyes and the eyes of his followers, they are not full human beings. The dehuminization list is constantly expanding to include the LGBTQ community, BLM protestors, progressives, minorities, women who choose abortions, people who want to preserve the separation of church and state: the list is almost endless.
“Oh, I hope they care,” Swalwell responded. “There’s thousands of people who go in and out of the White House.”
The congressman then told Heinrich – a mainstay of the White House press briefing room – that if she and her colleagues want tighter security, they should speak with the Secret Service.
“If you all want to be strip-searched, you know, for substances before you go into the White House, that’s something that you should work with the Secret Service to see if they can accommodate.
