It’s Wednesday…
Shitshow’s public schedule for…
The good news is I finally got OBS to cooperate long enough to capture a couple of clips without recording half of Twitter along with them.
The bad news is I spent enough time fighting with screen recording software that today’s post is going to be a little lighter on clips than I’d originally planned.
Clipped News
It’s budget season on the Hill. That means a parade of cult Cabinet members will spend the next several weeks testifying before Senate and House committees to explain why they need more of our money to fund dumbshit like a ballroom.
Yesterday, Acting Attorney General of the DOJ Todd “I’m honestly just the President’s personal attorney” Blanche announced that the wildly unpopular coup attempter fund wasn’t going to happen after all.
Apparently even this administration found a line it couldn’t sell.
Here’s Blanche informing Congress that the plan to compensate January 6th defendants is dead.
Curiously, Blanche wouldn’t commit to putting the death of the coup attempter fund in writing.
Which is odd considering the administration had no trouble putting the fund itself in writing.
Funny how the paper trail gets a lot less important once an idea turns politically toxic.
Roll tape.
I’m aware that other cult members testified before Congress yesterday, including Marco “I’ve Got Too Many Government Jobs” Rubio.
Fortunately for Marco, it’s taken me the better part of two hours to produce two usable video clips, and I’ve decided that’s enough technological growth for one Wednesday.
So we’re moving on to a couple of moments from yesterday’s press briefing.
Filling in for Propaganda Barbie was Dr. Oz, who spent part of the briefing demonstrating a remarkable misunderstanding of how health insurance works.
Oz claimed the administration believes roughly 35 percent of people enrolled through the Affordable Care Act marketplaces aren’t legitimate customers because they’ve never filed an insurance claim.
Apparently, paying premiums month after month without getting sick is now considered suspicious behavior.
Roll tape.
After Oz informed the press that he doesn’t understand how insurance works, he was asked why Puddle keeps undergoing medical evaluations.
Oz’s answer?
“I think he likes the results, and he aces the test every single day.”
On the bright side, it’s reassuring to know our Puddled president is apparently taking a cognitive test every day.
That seems like a detail we probably should have known sooner.
And that’s all I’ve got for today.
There were a few more items I considered covering, but after spending most of the morning producing four video clips, I’ve decided that’s enough multimedia ambition for one Wednesday.
The good news is I got noticeably faster by the third and fourth clip.
The bad news is I’m still slightly behind on everything else.
Better to quit while I’m only a little behind.
