Some Happy News

Five of the billionaire bastards who stood with our very own burnt orange hued Jabba the Hutt in the Capitol Rotunda on the day he was sworn in, have now lost a combined $209 billion in wealth.

Found via Ten at Homeless on the High Desert and Hackwhackers, apparently the fluorescent tantrum toddler’s not terribly good for his billionaire boys club. Gee, such a shame, huh?

Elon Musk’s fortune is down $148 billion
Jeff Bezos' dragon stash is down $29 billion
Sergey Brin lost $22 billion
Mark Zuckerberg’s pile is down $5 billion
Bernard Arnault’s is out $5 billion

Sure, they’ve got plenty more where that come from but, HEY, it’s a good start.

Mark Carney, the new interim Canadian Prime Minister, is apparently no doormat. In his acceptance speech he said:

• "Canada will never ever be part of America in any way shape or form."

• "My government will keep tariffs on till America shows us respect."

• "Donald Trump thinks he can weaken us to divide and conquer. We can give ourselves far far more than Donald Trump can ever take away."

and

• "A person who worships at the altar of Donald Trump will kneel before him, not stand up to him." (source)
  

Dude is NOT taking any shit from the bloated buffoon. GOOD!

I only mention it but the heads of every other country on the planet make Trumpy, the Bozo Boy, look like exactly what he is—an incompetent, uneducated, deeply insecure, malignantly narcissistic, easily played fool. He’s nothing but an oafish rube in a bad suit and everyone knows it. 

Also too, the rest of the world can plainly see that there isn’t one spine to be found in the entire Republican Party.

Trump is clearly completely unhinged and they do nothing but parrot his ridiculous spewings like human shaped, dementia ridden echos.

Tapeworms, which, by the by, lack both spine and brain, are more principled and discerning.

Ya know who does have a spine? Arizona Senator Mark Kelly, that’s who.

In response to that gelatinous, fuckbrained, orange Satan worshipping, mommy’s boy Leon the ketamine clown, calling him a traitor, Kelly dismissed him as "not a serious guy.”

"Elon, I don't really, you know, take him seriously," Kelly said Tuesday on "CBS Mornings." "He's not a serious guy. He's been slashing and burning the federal government at the expense of folks that are trying to get by and live their lives, and many of those are veterans." (source)

THIS is how it’s done.

Also THIS—Jasmine Crockett does what every other damn Democratic House Rep should be doing—reading the Republican tapeworm eejits for filth.

“I know that many of you prepared for today’s hearing by making sure that you got a little bit of information about immigrants and crime in your cities. Let me ask each of the mayors, just yes or no,” Crockett said. 

“Have any of you been made aware of any immigrant that has had 34 felony convictions … that has still been able to roam in your cities?” she asked. 

Each of the four mayors predictably answered, “No,” or said nothing, and so Crockett continued. 

“I’m just curious because we are so concerned about crime, and I know that my Republican colleagues would never want anybody with 34 felony convictions roaming around, because that could be a danger to the community,” she said. (source)

Crockett’s the real deal. We need more of her. A LOT more.
