So, it was a 21-year-old Air National Guardsman with machismo issues. And a gun worshiper to boot. I’m shocked. SHOCKED, I tell you! I guess he figured chicks dig traitors. This sorry saga will damage our national security and international standing for decades. Our enemies know we are vulnerable and our friends won’t trust us. And who’s in charge of our secret document security procedures? Pauly Shore?
If Clarence Thomas had an ounce of honor and integrity, he’d resign before lunch. So we know he’s not going anywhere. This is not a trifling matter. Don’t even think about telling me this is “no big deal.” It’s a very large deal. It is an historic scandal that further erodes Americans’ trust in our judicial system. Man up and speak up, John Roberts.
And I’d be interested in hearing from you, too, Anita Hill.
We’re about to find out whether SCOTUS justices consider themselves physicians and pharmacologists.
Still, I see glimmers of hope. Like what happened Thursday in the Arizona House. Members, many of them Republican, kicked a whack-job, Big Lie election denier out of that august body. Told her to pack up her shit and leave. Expelled her. Said she had brought dishonor and ill repute on the House. No, this is not the same thing as what happened last week in Tennessee. The procedural mechanisms are similar, but the core issues are not.
I don’t know who will be the GOP’s presidential nominee in 2024. But I do know it will not be Donald Trump. That’s not wishful thinking. That’s ice-cold analysis.
Screeching bigots notwithstanding, that was a savvy and astute move by Anheuser-Busch. Socially, morally and economically A-B got it right. That was a solid business decision that was thoroughly researched. This was about the future. This provided an invitation to young people to give Bud Light a try. It would be the absence of this move that ultimately would be A-B’s demise. The future is clear. And it includes the marginalization and ultimate extinction of bigots and their irrational and morally bankrupt hatreds. Attention, bigots. Your future is all behind you. You’re pretty well over.
And who loses their shit over a beer can in the first place?
You have to promise I did not disclose this to you. But I’ve been off beef for two months. And I must concede it has had positive results. But know this, too. I’m grilling a big ass NY strip tonight. And you can’t stop me.
