MAGA Fever Has Overwhelmed Common Sense at a Local TV Station in Milwaukee |
So now Elon is an Untouchable, too? Nice guardrails .Sam Kuffel's exercise of her First Amendment rights might have gone unnoticed had it not come to the attention of Milwaukee wingnut radio host Dan O'Donnell. Oh, my stars and garters. Kuffel broke the delicate brain of a guy who once suggested that President Biden ducked a Super Bowl interview because he had lost it upstairs, and who threatened the University of Wisconsin who worked with a watchdog group to tote up misinformation peddled by the state's toxic conservative radio culture. Vulgarity! Oh, my. |

Rep. Mike Collins of Georgia is very much a fathead. So Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde used her time in the pulpit on Tuesday to remind El Caudillo del Mar-a-Lago what a complete fcking heathen he is. Beside himself, which is one too many, Rep. Collins immediately leaped into action. Well, actually, he leaped onto Xwitter and demanded that the good bishop be deported ... apparently to New Jersey, whence she came. |

The president's unconscionable assault on any concept of the rule of law was the highlight of Act Like a President Day at the White House. The president signed a series of executive orders. Some of them actually, if tragically, are probably beyond relief—withdrawing the U.S. from both the World Health Organization and the Paris climate agreement. Some of them are flatly insane—renaming the Gulf of Mexico the "Gulf of America." (Florida, Louisiana, and Mississippi already are aboard with that one.) And one is so egregiously unconstitutional that Democratic attorneys general around the country already have filed suit against him. |

I commend to your attention the recent confirmation hearings of Russell Vought, the career apparatchik and key figure behind Project 2025, a veritable Vesuvius of bad and dangerous ideas whom the president seeks to place in charge of the federal budget. (Remember when the president didn't have any idea what Project 2025 was? That was cool.) Democratic senators had a high old time making Vought eat his previous words tartare. |

Back in December 2020, when the undermining of the election was gaining full power, a group gathered on the steps of the Supreme Court to plead the case for the court's parachuting in to rescue the incumbent administration from the verdict of all those inconvenient voters. On the steps of the court that day, the founder of the Stop the Steal movement addressed this crowd of gun-crazy maniacs. His name was Ed Martin, and he went on to advocate for a number of the vandals at the heart of the eventual insurrection. Guess what Ed Martin is doing now? |
