It’s important to be well-versed in The Classics.
This is going to drive Bootsie crazy: Hair Füror just undercut the majickal conjuring word, WOKE, and we should note that the Stable Jenious uses “woke” too/also, but now he’s weaponizing it against
The Red Hat Cultists have a new reason to turn on Cracker Orban: Woke.
Manchinema
What did these fools do now: Senators Manchin + Sinema + Jon Testor joined all the Republicans in the Senate to overturn President Handsome Joe Biden’s Student Loan Relief program. It was not subject to the 60-vote, filibuster threshold.
The 52-46 vote to pass the legislation comes a day after senators took a similarly close vote to proceed to the measure, which would repeal Biden’s debt relief program and end the administration’s pause on federal student loan payments. A few moderate senators — Democrats Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Jon Tester of Montana and independent Sen. Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona — voted with Republicans on the final passage vote as well as the motion to take up the measure.
Why we cannot have nice things: Look at the vote totals and do the math. Literally, the Blue Dogs pushed the repeal over the finish line. I promise you we will hear about this from the Blame Democrats First contingent, too.
Next Steps: President Handsome Joe has said he will veto the bill. No d’uh.
Bottom Line: Everyone knows this is nothing more than letting the folks back home know that they are still jerks.

“Take THAT, Schröginger, you filthy liar!”
Pence is the one on the right.
Mike Pence, a man so wooden that termites salivate when he enters a room, is likely to officially enter the 2024 Goat Rodeo next week:
Mike Pence plans to enter the GOP presidential nomination fray June 7 with a campaign video and a kickoff speech in Des Moines, Iowa, according to a person familiar with his launch schedule.
“Praise Jeebus and pass me a wooden toothpick, will ya?,” said an area termite.
Redefining himself to Republican voters, most of whom know him primarily as Trump’s vice president, will be a challenge.
A challenge because they wanted to hang him not that long ago? Sure, we’ll go with that.
Or a challenge because according to RealClearPolitics, Pence’s polling average was in the very low single digits, which frankly is higher than I would have guessed.
Anyway, if Pence and Sammiches both enter the Goat Rodeo next week, I believe it makes NINE Republicans and assures Lord Damp Nut will win the primary, so we got that working for us.
“I’ll be back”
Meta says that it will remove news content from Facebook in California if the state passes the California Journalism Preservation Act. So, what is the California Journalism Act?
The California Journalism Preservation Act, which is up for a vote in the state Assembly on Thursday, would require social-media platforms that make money on online ads through distributing news articles to pay a fee to support digital news publishers. Under the bill, news organizations would be required to spend at least 70% of that fee revenue on their newsrooms.
So you can see why Faceberg would be opposed. The official statement, calling it a slush fund.
Faceberg has fought compensating news publishers before and infamously refused to go dark when an international consensus concluded that Facebook played a “determining role” in the ongoing ethnic cleansing of the Rohingya in Myanmar. But when Australia floated a law (similar to the one proposed in California), it was lights out the next day.
That’s a helluva moral compass, ya got there.
So Faceberg —who wouldn’t shut off the news feed to stop a genocide— would rather turn off the Newsfeed in California than pay into a fund to preserve local journalism. Got it.

This Twitter-Twatter thread about the purloined classified documents at Merde-a-Lardo is the bomb (as the kids don’t say anymore); it’s not only possession of documents, and obstruction, it is also espionage.
I will remind everyone that Iran is the avowed enemy of the Saudis, and as luck would have it, the Saudis were at Bedminster for the LIV golf thingie in 2022, and would no doubt love to have a peek, you know, for a price. The tapes are documentary evidence from 2021, but it does show that the documents travelled there.
Why Bedminster has not been searched (yet) I cannot imagine.
