Kagro in the Morning - April 20, 2022

Hoorah! David Waldman and Greg Dworkin again wield the full force of the internet to bear us athwart the hebdomad convexity:

Vladimir Putin is presently fighting World War III, or at least World War II, in Ukraine. Vlad’s definitely writing checks he cannot cash. Meanwhile, Ukraine’s rich uncle is going to make it rain, as howitzers, helicopters, tanks and fighter jets are now beginning to pop up like daisies.

You can put time and effort into pointing out the illogic, hypocrisy and stupidity of the Right’s ideas, as many have for a generation or two, but keep in mind that they will be spending their time making those ideas reality. Why yes, that judge’s opinion striking down the airplane mask mandate is quite idiotic. Everybody on both sides knows that. So, what are you going to do about it? The Biden administration may not do anything, because maybe Republicans would then make another law to prove that reality wrong. David suggests that if Democrats don’t have the courage to challenge one judge’s incredibly silly, paper-thin decision, that perhaps instead they could make the breathtaking historical gambit of… yeah, right. 

The illogic, hypocrisy and stupidity therefore continue. Ron DeSantis’ office doxxes the public but is sad to be doxxed. Ron is punishing Disney by threatening to take away $2 billion of their debt and passing it along to the taxpayer. Marjorie Traitor Greene might actually be forced into acting rationally, but don’t bet on it. Mike Lee could also come clean, but Mark Meadows hasn’t told him what to say yet. Somebody honest could turn up yet in front of the committee, you never know. Even the state of Tennessee behaves reasonably, sometimes.

Munchies? Just because it’s floating in a rainbow above your head doesn’t mean it’s all magically delicious… but it probably is, so go for it!
