Check your 2020 card and if you have “moon hatches” mark it off.

Recently, researchers were baffled by a discovery of a strange crack on the Moon’s surface, which is continuing to expand. Large scale research conducted by the Smithsonian Institute to study the fault on the lunar surface using sensors installed during Apollo 17 has found the faults.

The obtained data indicate a mysterious crack appeared due to a powerful shock, the magnitude of which could be closer to 5.5 on the Richter scale, which is enough to cause above moderate damage to buildings on Earth.

Oddly, I didn’t have that one, but I did have “Tucker Carlson makes things disappear,” so I’m about even for today.

From Nick Carraway 

How does one expect to get through to people when their rationale for voting for someone is that they get to shove the proverbial middle finger at polite society? That is Charlie Sykes at the Bulwark is postulating in his recent piece.  He is actually quoting someone else here but I think most people fully understand the idea.

Simply put, they don’t care about you, them, or even themselves. They could all suffer and could buckle under his lies. It doesn’t matter. In the academic world we have a different word for this: nihilism. I’ll have to dust off my copy of “Fight Club” and dig in.  

CNN is saying that Jared Kushner was bagging back in April that they had taken the country back from the doctors.

In a taped interview on April 18, Kushner told legendary journalist Bob Woodward that Trump was “getting the country back from the doctors” in what he called a “negotiated settlement.” Kushner also proclaimed that the US was moving swiftly through the “panic phase” and “pain phase” of the pandemic and that the country was at the “beginning of the comeback phase.”

.

“That doesn’t mean there’s not still a lot of pain and there won’t be pain for a while, but that basically was, we’ve now put out rules to get back to work,” Kushner said. “Trump’s now back in charge. It’s not the doctors.”

This sassy little boy does not know pain.  Lemme try.

His punishment should be that he cannot see a doctor for the rest of his life. He thinks he’s having a heart attack? He should go talk to his father in law.  There will be panic and pain but it’s worth it not to have doctors around.

He was bragging about this stuff.  Lemme punch him. Get me a step stool.

I know he was just joking because it’s always cool to joke about Presidential assassination, but I thought you’d like to see Trump in action.

Damn. Trump is talking about Biden being assassinated weeks into his presidency. What nut is going to interpret this as an encouragement?

It bothers me that women are always the problem.  They still want to lock Hillary up.  Nancy Pelosi is barely even human to these guys, and since Trump can’t find much wrong with Biden, just guess who he goes after.  But he has to get Biden out of the way.

Thanks to SGray for the heads up.

Remember all the hubbub about exactly who donated the money spent on the Trump inauguration?  They raised $107 million but we are still not exactly sure where it came from.

“… that includes a donation of $25,000 that appeared to have been made in the name of Katherine Johnson, a former NASA mathematician who was a character in the biopic ‘Hidden Figures.’ The listing included an address at NASA headquarters, from which Johnson has been retired for decades. After the donation was first reported by the Intercept, Johnson’s family quickly denied that Johnson had ever made such a donation.”

Yeah, somebody was being cute, huh?

The shaking-my-head part is that they don’t have to tell how they spent the money, only where they got it.  That’s kinda junior high school stuff.

They promised to fix it but they never did.  Mainly because they weren’t ask to. The FEC’s Reports Analysis Division, which is supposed to ensure the accuracy of all reports filed with the FEC, never asked the inaugural committee to make corrections.

Wanna know why?

Yeah, because “a top Federal Election Commission official, whose division regulates campaign cash, has shown support for President Trump and has close ties to his 2016 campaign attorney, Don McGahn. Experts said the actions raise questions about impartiality.”

How do they find each other?  Did they bring a ship of fools up the Potomac River and unload them on Capitol Hill?  In this case, they literally made fun of honest people who were trying to play by the rules.  In emails. They sent emails to each other name-calling honest people.

Thanks to Alfredo over at the Dairy Queen for the heads up.

Many of us believe Trump doesn’t care whether you live or die.  There is ample evidence of that from his behavior over the years, but was in plain view last night at Eppley Airfield outside of Omaha, Nebraska.  To use Air Force One as his backdrop, he had thousands of supporters bussed 4 miles to a remote area on the airport.  He held said rally, playing all of his Fat Elvis hits, then boarded his plane and was gone.

Thousands of his supporters were then left stranded out on the airfield, with few buses taking people back.  Oh, and it was 30 degrees last night.  Emergency medical teams were called and were treating people for hypothermia.  At least 7 people remain hospitalized this morning.

Two lessons here: 1) He really doesn’t care if you live or die; 2) Incompetence pervades every aspect of Trumpland.  They can’t even get buses right.
