HURRY UP PLEASE IT'S TIME

Last week the Senate spent fourteen seconds lousing up America's circadian rhythms.  Anyway a few Senators did, without debate or even voting it out of the Commerce Committee.  That Rubio and Sinema were the ringleaders should surprise no one.  Unless the House intervenes, next year we have to go on permanent Daylight Saving Time, which does not mean there will be more daylight in winter, no matter what Ron Johnson says.

The clocks went forward on Saturday night, which may explain why Ted Cruz missed his flight out of Bozeman, Montana, yesterday.  Why a Texas senator was in Montana is a whole other matter.  Cruz went full Kyle (the male version of Karen), demanding to speak to the manager and presumably make the plane come back for him.  Unfortunately he returned to Washington in time to whine that Supreme Court confirmation hearings have become so angry and confrontational, at least when the nomination is made by a Democrat.  For the same reason that you're more likely to get abuse for wearing a mask than for being a jerk to a ticketing agent, Teddy.  Your party is full of traitorous meatballs like Josh Hawley and professional race-baiters like John NMI Kennedy.  And did you really describe attempted rape as "teenage dating habits"?

Voter restrictions, outrageous gerrymandering and even "poll police" apparently are not enough to maintain Republicans in office.  Now a group of armed thugs organized by Mike Pillow are going door to door in Colorado to intimidate voters in their homes.  The "U.S. Election Integrity Plan" authorizes "citizen audit activities" to scare people of color away from voting.  Fortunately the 1871 Klan Act passed during the Grant Administration is still on the books, the Roberts Court not having had a crack at it yet.  Can someone tell me why this meth-head Lindell is still at large?

Get 'em while they're young.  A "teacher" at Turning Point Christian School proudly posted video of herself leading four- and five-year-olds in an anti-Biden chant.  Only one parent complained (well, it is a Christian school).  The Trumpjugend leader is apparently still employed there.

Speaking of Nazis, Boris Romanchenko survived Buchenwald, Mittelbau-Dora, Bergen-Belsen and Dortmund, but was killed in the Russian attack on Kharkiv.  He was 96.

Wisconsin police must teach kneeling on Black necks in their academy.  Shawn Guetschow was caught on security video using the move to subdue a twelve-year-old girl during a lunchroom fight.  He resigned from his school security job but is still on the Kenosha PD.  The girl was luckier than George Floyd -- she only suffers from neck injuries and PTSD.  

Our numptie of the week is proud Trumpanzee Brandon Fellows, not a lawyer but representing himself on various charges stemming from the 2021 coup (which he calls "the museum tour/insurrection").  He keeps filing motions with the DC court comparing himself to Jesus and Martin Luther King because he's in jail like them (King anyway) for his beliefs.   I know another white male who went to jail for his part in an insurrection.  You probably know his book My Struggle better than Letter From a Birmingham Jail.  Let it go, Brandon.
