I'm Just Passing This Whole Thing On

From All Hat No Cattle:

…The Wall Street Journal published a story on Thursday about Marko Elez, a "key DOGE staff member who gained access to the Treasury Department's central-payments system" and resigned "after he was linked to a deleted social-media account that advocated racism and eugenics."

Even if they stopped—full stop, right now,—the damage is already done and it will take years and years to fix.

Schatz Takes Direct Shots At Derelict Democrats
Sen. Brian Schatz (D-HI) had some pointed remarks for Democratic strategists who have been advising the party's elected officials to pick their battles carefully against President Donald Trump…"I'm not going to let some pundit dictate whether or not I exercise my obligations as a member of the Article I branch," Schatz said. "David Axelrod, James Carville. I mean, those guys have not been in the trenches legislatively or electorally in a full generation. And there's a cottage industry out there of Democratic strategists. But in order to be a Democratic strategist, you actually have to do politics currently and not just podcast about it."

Hearing nonsense that Ds are threatening a shutdown. False. Entire matter is in GOP hands. What's happening is that Rs are coming hat in hand to Ds for help because they can't agree among themselves. Ds shld have a simple demand. No help until the criminal conduct stops. – Josh Marshall

Marching Orders For Democrats

Jonathan V. Last:

First: Do not help Republicans. Not in any way. On any issue. Republicans can't pass a budget, or raise the debt ceiling? Tough luck. Do not provide them any bailout votes on any issue. Period, the end.¹

Second: Make Donald Trump own every bad outcome that happens, anywhere in the world while paying special attention to areas where Republicans are particularly vulnerable. Like housing and Ukraine.

BUT WILL THEY DO IT?

A Trump Supporter And His Money Are Soon Parted

From Jeff Tiedrich:

Step Right Up, Rubes

It's a wise old saying: a trump supporter and their money are soon parted.

Need proof? Here's an ad that's been running on the Fox Business channel. For only $19.95, you can get a rectangle of paper with a value of zero. Look — it's got Dear Leader's vacuous smirking face and chickenscratch signature on it! Shut up and take my money!

Sometimes I wish I had no morals or ethics, because I would be so good at grifting these dumb-asses. just slap Donny's big dumb pumpkin face onto any cheap-ass Chinese-made trinket and back up the Brinks truck, boy-o.

You know what's going to happen, don't you? Some dimwitted cultist is going to walk into their local 7-11 and try to use this funny money to pay for his slurpee.

It's not like it hasn't happened before.

Turns out, Trump Bucks aren't worth the paper they're printed on. Just ask John Amann of Houston who said he bought $2,200 worth of the phony currency and other Trump monetary items over the past year only to discover they were worthless when he tried to cash them in at his local bank.

MAGA, can we chat? listen up, stupids. If you're shelling out $19.95 for a phony two-dollar bill, or $499.95 for Dear Leader's spray-painted sneakers — or if you spent god-knows-how-much on stickers, and this is what your car looks like …

I don't want to hear one fucking word out of you about the price of eggs.

Just The Right Amount of Fretting

From Greg Fallis:

We're two weeks out from election day and there's a whole lot of OMG OMG Trump's gonna try to steal the election if he loses OMG WTF do we do now?! floating around in social media. And it's making some folks downright frantic.

Yeah, Trump is absolutely going to try to steal the election when he loses. That's just a fact. We all know it. We saw him try to do it four years ago. Of course, he's going to try it again. This time he's better prepared for it. This time he knows what he did wrong last time. (Okay, that's not entirely true; Trump is just a bone-ignorant as he was last time, but now he's got a cadre of feral GOP fascists who are far more skilled at ratfucking.) This time the stakes are higher…both for the nation and for Trump his ownself. He loses, and he's looking at prison.

So yeah, it's understandable that folks are worried. EXCEPT for this: the Dems are also better prepared than last time. We've had four years to put as many safeguards in place as possible. We've had four years to anticipate Trump's moves. Things look better for us than they did four years ago. For example:

        • We've changed the Electoral Count Act to make it far more difficult for state legislatures to reverse the results of an election.
        • We have hundreds of lawyers, lawyers in every state, ready to counter the GOP's attempts to ratfuck the votes, and they've got dozens of briefs already written and ready to file, tailored to each state.
        • The governors of five of the seven so-called 'swing' states are Democrats. The two GOP-led states includes Georgia, where Gov. Brian Kemp and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger both resisted Trump's efforts four years ago.
        • Of the 60+ lawsuits brought by Trump four years ago, all but one was shot down. Many of the judges in those cases were Republicans, some appointed by Trump his ownself. They're no more likely to agree with him this time.
        • Four years ago Trump had the Department of Justice and the Attorney General in his pocket to help him. Now, the DOJ and the AG are more independent.

This isn't to say that your anxiety isn't warranted. It's not to say there's nothing to fret about. Trump, his Nazgûl lawyers, and his angry supporters are willing to use any corrupt means that might give them a chance to obtain power, including violence. We HAVE to be concerned and vigilant.

But remember, Trump failed last time. He'll almost certainly fail again. Failure is Trump's true brand. Trump is all make-up and weird hair. His strength is mostly an illusion. So yeah, there's reason to fret. It's right and proper to fret about the election.

Fret enough to get out to vote. Fret enough to encourage your friends and fam to vote. Fret enough to put up a yard sign or cough up some coin to donate to your local candidates. Ain't nothing wrong with fretting about this election.

But don't fret too much.
