Of all the hot takes on the FBI raid of Michael Cohen’s home and offices, Axios did the best job of conveying the import of the moment: we’re living through history, however it all turns out. I have a feeling that by 2032 nobody in America will admit to ever having voted for Trump.
Nevertheless, Trump’s brain-dead bullying act will take a while to purge from the GOP. Kentucky’s asshole conservative governor vetoed a state budget that gave out raises and dared the state’s teachers to go on strike.
Bill Cosby’s retrial started yesterday, and the big courtroom news was the revelation that he paid Andrea Constand more than $3 million to clam up. But the splashier headlines came when a topless female protestor with the names of his accusers written on her body streaked Cos as he entered the courthouse. I grew up near there, and this is probably the most exciting thing that ever happened in Norristown.
Seriously, conservatives need to learn to dial it back to 11 when those Parkland kids get them mad. Another conservative asswipe lost his TV gig — at a Sinclair station, no less — for saying he would ram a red-hot poker up David Hogg’s ass. Conservative men have a predilection, you will notice, for obsessing about gay sex.
There’s a lot of competition for Most Useless Democrat in Delaware, but Senate Pro Tem David McBride makes the field. He’s pretending to be woke by by demanding Gov. Carney investigate power lawyer and Democratic moneybags Stuart Grant before re-appointing him to the UD Board of Trustees. Now sell your fucking beach house and live in your district for a while before somebody Melanie Georges your withered old ass.
Lots of comedians and satirists have given up in the age of Trump, and so it is that comedian and voice actor Chuck McCann — the voice of Sonny, the birdwho goes cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs — died in Los Angeles. You can’t compete with a guy who goes cuckoo at everything.
