There was plenty of \u2018silly season\u2019 news this week. For instance, we had videos of enraged rednecks standing in their backyards and shooting cases of beer with AR-15s after Budweiser had an online video featuring transgender advocate Dylan Mulvaney. No, they weren\u2019t promoting drag queens or litter boxes in school bathrooms. It was to promote the NCAA basketball tournament. But the National Association of Zealots and Ideologues have devoted many, many \u201cminutes of hate\u201d against transgenders, so their brownshirt followers promptly lost what little in the way of minds they had and started shooting beers, and not in a good way.<\/p>\n
Normally the GOP views such antics with a self-satisfied smirk. But then one of them noticed that the maker of Bud Lite, Anheuser-Busch, was a major GOP contributor, and the morons were violating the prime directive of the GOP, which is \u201cYou don\u2019t piss on the money.\u201d Suddenly they realized how idiotic the whole thing was. It was so idiotic that descendant of stable geniuses, Donald Trump the Lesser, suddenly noticed it was idiotic. This resulted in another civil battle between the two branches of the GOP: those who felt hate should be pure, and those that feel love of money should be pure.<\/p>\n
Maggie Armpits weighed in on climate change. Rather than trying to describe it, let me just quote her: “If you believe that today\u2019s ‘climate change’ is caused by too much carbon, you have been fooled,” she wrote. “We live on a spinning planet that rotates around a much bigger sun along with other planets and heavenly bodies rotating around the sun that all create gravitational pull on one another while our galaxy rotates and travels through the universe. Considering all of that, yes our climate will change, and it\u2019s totally normal!”<\/p>\n
OK then. That sorts that. Maggie should ask for letters of apology from Michael Mann, Al Gore, and Daniel Swain for all that fear mongering. It was all just gravitational pull.<\/p>\n
When last seen, Maggie was complaining about \u2018marijuana zombies\u2019 in New York City. Apparently it\u2019s quite a problem. Perhaps one of them bit her. That would explain a few things.<\/p>\n
On a more serious note, the widening corruption of Associate Supreme Court Justice Clarence \u201cSlappy\u201d Thomas continued to spread like a sinkhole in a septic tank. Today\u2019s revelation (and they are coming on a daily basis now) is that he reported up to $750,000 in income from an outfit called \u201cGinger, Ltd., Partnership\u201d that was owned by himself and his toxic wife, Ginni. The operative word there is \u201cwas.\u201d Ginger, Ltd., Partnership was dissolved in 2006, so Thomas was reporting income from a company that doesn\u2019t exist.<\/p>\n
Well, it sorta doesn\u2019t exist. It was replaced by another company, Ginger Holdings, LLC. But Slappy and Ginni don\u2019t run it. It\u2019s run by one Joanne Elliot, who is Ginni\u2019s sister. But even though they have no formal association with this company, they\u2019re still receiving considerable amounts of money from it for who-knows-what.<\/p>\n
And what does Ginger Holdings, LLC do? Well, that\u2019s one of life\u2019s little mysteries then, isn\u2019t it? Whatever it is, it pays well. I need to get me one of those Ginger Holdings LLC for myself. Then I can feed the cats the fancy cat food instead of the usual slop. As far as I can tell, you don\u2019t have to do jack shit, just watch the money roll in. My kind of job!<\/p>\n
In any other developed nation, a judge with the kind of malfeasance Slappy is displaying would have been in prison by now. In less developed countries, the mob might have got him.<\/p>\n
But Slappy is vital for keeping the fascist contingent in control of the court. He\u2019s one of six conservative justices, but one of them, Roberts, has shown that he puts law before ideology sometimes, and that makes him totally unfit for purpose. So if Slappy is impeached, that leaves the Court at the mercy of Joe Biden and a Democratic Senate, which means they might nominate an actual jurist with an interest in the law, rather than what the Federalist Society and the National Association of Zealots and Ideologues want. And worse, that uppity public might not vote Republican in \u201824, meaning it could be six years before they get to continue eviscerating the Courts.<\/p>\n
So the GOP aren\u2019t going to impeach Thomas, and he sure isn\u2019t going to retire. He thinks it\u2019s his god-given duty to screw over the public in the name of owning the libs.<\/p>\n
Well, you can\u2019t really expect a healthy emotional outlook on life and society from a man who willingly turned himself into a lawn jockey, can you?<\/p>\n
We may get a better look at the one group that could force Slappy off the bench, the rest of the Court, this coming week. They will be ruling on whether to maintain the stay on mifepristone that that religious nut Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk of the Northern District of Texas imposed on the country. I expect Roberts to side with the three liberal justices, since the ruling is so blatantly and egregiously unconstitutional. I think there\u2019s a decent chance Brett Kavanaugh might also jump the leads. He\u2019s basically the swing vote on this. Gorsuch could go either way. Amy Coney Barrett is another religious nut and feels a divine need to impose her psychosis on the rest of us. Alito, of course, is the author of Cobb and depends on 16th century witchfinders for his legal lodestar.<\/p>\n
Normally it would be a slam-dunk for the religious loons. But I think that Kavanaugh and Gorsuch might bolt simply to cut Slappy loose. He\u2019ll probably head up the ban-the-pill contingent, and the size of that contingent will speak volumes about Slappy\u2019s clout within the Court.<\/p>\n
