I’ve noticed the cons are trying to attack AOC as something less than intelligent – despite the fact that she regularly runs rings around them. One of the things they highlight is that she was a bartender before running for Congress. That’s it. She was a bartender. What could SHE know?

I used to debate a right-leaning woman on issues in social media. She seems to have disappeared recently. She probably decided I’m irredeemable. But she used to try to denigrate me by pointing to the fact that I own a swimming pool service. That’s how I make my living, so I must be a dumb-dumb.

I think it speaks VOLUMES that they attack what people do for a living as evidence of intelligence. The GOP genuinely has no respect for the working class or they wouldn’t try to use it as a put-down…

Bobby Sherman has passed, aged 81. When I was a kid, it was possible to get a working record on the back of cereal boxes. It was a promotional thing. One time, ‘Alpha-bits’ put a record out of Bobby Sherman doing a song called ‘Time.’ Remember, these records were for kids. So, here are the opening lines from Bobby Sherman’s song, ‘Time,’ for kids:

“Time. We all die, some time.
No matter who you are, you answer to time.
And now I can see, we’re all running out of time.”

That’s my Bobby Sherman experience…

Here’s a number worth noting from ‘The Guardian.’ Since the inauguration, in the United States of America, arrests of people without criminal histories have increased 807%! It’s estimated that ICE is holding something like 59,000 detainees in various facilities across the country. Key phrase, ‘without criminal histories.’

These are NOT gang members, rapists, or murderers. These are just people trying to live their lives and go about their business. These are people working jobs and paying taxes. I presume Fox Not-News and the rest of MAGA media say otherwise, but the facts do not support the story they’re selling…

“Let’s keep it going, people! We’re SO close. We’re about to achieve our goal of raising the global temperature by 3 degrees centigrade. And there’s no going back from there!”
“GOAL? No, that was a warning! We were supposed to be avoiding that increase, if possible.”
“A warning? No, you must be wrong. It MUST have been a goal. Otherwise, we would have done less to achieve it and more to prevent it, right?”
“Climate scientists have been screaming their heads off about it. They’ve been trying to get people to take action to slow the process.”
“Scientists? Pshaw. What do they know? Now we’ll be able to plant crops where we couldn’t before. More crops, more food, right?”
“Well, except that we won’t be able to grow where we could before, either. And we’re facing the hottest summer on record. We’re already breaking heat records, year after year. The heat is already killing people.”
“Only old people, and we collectively decided they were expendable during Covid-19, remember? More for us!”
“This is about to get irreversibly ugly…”

And on Friday, the DOD announced it will halt a critical atmospheric data collection program – at the end of June! Hey, a few days to prepare for the loss of irreplaceable, critical information on hurricane development just before hurricane season should be enough, right? The program, the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) helped scientists predict hurricanes with far better accuracy. Climate scientists say it will set hurricane forecasting back by “decades.”

Team Moronic Evil is insisting it’s just one piece in a lot of pieces and won’t be missed. The scientists who rely on it say it’s a vital piece of the puzzle and WILL be missed. One guy said, “It, frankly, is an embarrassment for the government to pursue a course with less data and just pretend everything will be OK.”

So according to the team that has YET to get even ONE THING right, less information will be a-okay. I’m sure that’s comforting for the people who live in hurricane zones. Red states, right? Well, they can hold Donny’s promises up to the hurricane as they discover the hurricane’s intensity when their roofs blow off. I’m sure they’ll be just fine…

See, THIS is why MAGA is so completely in the dark when it comes to what’s actually happening. Right now, the lying regime is in a full-court press, trying to convince people that the US bombing of Iran “obliterated” Iran’s nuclear capabilities. Team Evil doesn’t care what’s true. They just want people to agree with 47. HE said it was obliterated, it was obliterated, whether it was or not, right?

The thing is, many people are saying that it was NOT obliterated. And, as we all know by now, the source “many people are saying” is unimpeachable, right? A CNN reporter, Natasha Bertrand, reported on the existence of an intelligence assessment that said the attack had done LESS than obliterate the facilities. She just said the report exists, not that it was perfectly true.

But KKKaroline Leavitt tore into Bertrand during a press misinforming session. She spent nearly two minutes lying about Bertrand, really smearing her name. Remember, all Bertrand said is that the report exists and this is what it says. Even Leavitt has acknowledged the report exists but for some reason, Bertrand saying so is some kind of betrayal.

But none of that is the point. The point is this: during her diatribe, Leavitt said, “It was Natasha Bertrand who had 51 intelligence analysts falsely lie to her, but she still put it on paper for some reason, that the Hunter Biden laptop story was Russian disinformation. We all know that’s not true, right?”

Well, no. It IS true, there was a Hunter Biden laptop and that fact was covered up during the 2020 race. But the reason MAGA got a chubby about the laptop was because it was going to prove all the various crimes and other wrongdoings of the Joe Biden administration. It turned out to be nothing more than an opportunity for MTG to show a little revenge porn on the House floor. Ongoing investigations have revealed that many of the documents on the laptop were tampered with. In short, there is no “there” there on the Biden laptop and there never was.

But Leavitt keeps the Hunter Biden story going by repeating the part that works for Team Evil and simply disregarding the part that doesn’t. MAGA media will put Leavitt’s comments on a loop and reinforce for MAGA that the Biden laptop was the pinnacle of evil and MAGA will be forever trapped in a miasma of misinformation…
