Fiddly bits of news

It's so absurd. One just has to go with the flow.

From the shameless hypocrite files
New York Times: DeSantis, Once a ‘No’ on Storm Aid, Petitions a President He’s Bashed. The Florida governor, who as a congressman opposed aid to victims of Hurricane Sandy, is seeking relief from the Biden administration as Hurricane Ian ravages his own state. He said: “As you say, Tucker, we live in a very politicized time.”

Ron, tell your supporters to pull themselves up by their bootstraps. What are you, a socialist or something? 





From the Armageddon Coming Soon files
Someone reported yesterday that once Russia annexes the four chunks of Ukraine that Putin invaded and forced to vote for annexation, Ukrainian efforts to conduct military resistance there will be considered attacks on the sacred Russian motherland. That will be Putin's excuse to respond with tactical nuclear weapons.

Post apocalypse


From the democracy is screwed files
The NYT reports that former President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva is trying to cap a stunning political comeback by defeating the incumbent Jair Bolsonaro in Brazil’s elections on Sunday. What a choice, da Silva is a deeply corrupt liberal politician and Bolsonaro is a deeply corrupt tyrant.




From the Armageddon again files
Pentagon Plans to Set Up a New Command to Arm Ukraine, Officials Say. The mission in Germany would streamline a training and assistance system that the United States and its allies created on the fly after Russia’s invasion, officials said.




From the democracy is screwed files
Ginni Thomas tells Jan. 6 panel she still believes false election fraud claims, chair says. “The information was typical of a lot of information we received from other people who were involved in this effort around Jan. 6. A lot of: ‘Well, I believed something was wrong,’” select committee chair Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.), told reporters Thursday of Thomas’ testimony. 

As usual, Thomas provided no evidence. But like other radical right stolen election cultists, she has the faith. No evidence, but lots 'n lots of faith.



From the corrupt, radical right Christian nationalist Republican judge files
Judge Aileen M. Cannon told Donald Trump’s lawyers Thursday that they did not need to comply with an order from special master Raymond J. Dearie and state in a court filing whether they believe FBI agents lied about documents seized from the former president’s Florida residence. Thursday’s ruling was the first clash between Cannon, a Trump appointee who has generally shown the former president deference in litigation over the Mar-a-Lago investigation, and Dearie, a federal judge she appointed as an outside expert in the case, who appears to be far more skeptical of Trump.

No doubt, judge Loose Cannon will give the ex-president what he believes he deserves. The Cannon will deliver no justice and vindicate no law because she knows the ex-president is a gooood boy. She has blind faith, just like Ginni Thomas.
