Short Takes, 2/3/2024

 

 (2.5-minute read)

Vote no.  Take credit for the dough.

            MAGA Republicans take credit for improvements provided in bills they voted against.  (Chips and Science Act, Bi-partisan Infrastructure Law)  MAGA Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar didn’t hesitate to take credit for funding small businesses and an airport in her district.[1]  Even when called out in an on air interview she continued to take credit (claiming she didn’t remember how she voted!).  MAGA Rep. Mike Garcia, also a vocal opponent of the same bills that he voted against along with almost every other Republican, also took credit in mailers.  SOP for MAGA.  They learned at the feet of their Dear Leader.

Like I said

            I talked about former Congresswoman Liz Cheney in Enablers Remorse where I mentioned that she voted with Trump 93% of the time but got all butt hurt when he endangered her life her life on J6.  Then MAGA voted her out of office because Trump.  Cheney is a never Trumper now.  Almost.  She was being interviewed and asked if she would vote for President Biden if the election came down to him and Trump.  She would NOT say yes.[2]  Party before country, over and over and over.

Another MAGA with $ accused

            Vince McMahon used to head up the TKO/WWE (Wrestling).  McMahon stepped down when a sex trafficking lawsuit was filed against him.[3]  Over the years McMahon has paid out $14.6 million dollars for misconduct.  Both parties, McMahon and the woman that filed charges, were living in exclusive apartments when they met.[4]  Guess who managed the apartments?  Yep, the Trump organization.  Trump is a long-time buddy of McMahon.

Too much bronzer.

            I heard a funny comment from a talking head about Trump using so much bronzer.  They said if he used too much more, he risked losing the support of white supremacists.  At his New Hampshire victory tirade it did look like he’s gone to a darker shade of pale.  The picture circulating shows a sweaty Trump looking like he had a Guiliani problem with his makeup.  Snopes said it’s an accurate picture and not enhanced or AI produced.[5]

J6 material hiding in plain sight.

            Trump claimed that all of the Democrat January 6 material was deleted. Here’s a link [6] to all the J6 material.  Of course he also says that people need an ID to buy bread.

To vape or not to vape

            A young 22-year-old man that vaped excessively ended up having a double lung transplant.  He contracted a virus and pneumonia.  His vaping had damaged his lungs too much for his body to recover.  Vaping, like smoking, is not good for you.  I smoked 3 packs a day and even decades ago I knew that wouldn’t end well so I quit.
