Biden’s numbers bad for Biden, but Trump’s indictments are not for Trump? CNN broke news Tuesday night that federal prosecutors have filed criminal charges against New York Rep. George Santos (R). Coverage for now is informed speculation at best. The charges won’t be unsealed until later today when Santos is expected to appear in court in the eastern district of New York. “When someone has committed as much apparent fraud as Santos has,” Marcy Wheeler notes, “there’s no telling what the real story behind all that fraud is.” So we wait. Also in New York, a civil trial jury found Donald J. Trump guilty on Tuesday of sexually abusing and defaming E. Jean Carroll. The six men and three women voted unanimously. Also in New York, Trump still faces state charges of 34 counts of Falsifying Business Records in the First Degree. Special Counsel Jack Smith and Fulton County, Georgia prosecutor Fani Willis have yet to file federal and state charges against Trump for as much apparent criminality as Trump has committed. So we wait. As Trump continues to run for president again in 2024, we wait.

You will be remembered not as a part-time math teacher at Nieblas Middle School, but as a demigod who stayed true to their mission of destroying shit instead of subscribing to society’s fucked-up rules about getting organized.

Last night (May 9, 2023), the Australian government delivered the latest fiscal statement (aka ‘The Budget’), and, in doing so guaranteed that unemployment would rise. A deliberate act of sabotage of living standards for disadvantaged Australians. All the hype was about the miniscule fiscal surplus that was announced as if it is some sort of…

Has there ever been a bigger baby? Ever??? Update: Still ranting at 1 am: He also put out two more of those whiny videos. If I didn’t know better, I’d think he was on drugs. Too many diet cokes?
