My new music cicerone Gabbie hooked me up.
Another rocky week, America! Lots to be bummed about, like Judge Dugan being found guilty for protecting a defendant in her charge from ICE goons. Keep hope alive for her appeal and the preservation of this wrecker administration’s poor record in court. It’s annoying that we have to assume every prosecution out of that cesspool, like every detention proceeding from it, is designed not to do justice but to mock it.
Also, when the FUBAR FBI finally found the (alleged, dead) perp in the Brown University shooting, he turned out to be from Portugal, so Tubby’s retaliating against all foreigners by killing another visa program, as if the shootings prove that immigrants are more likely to do murder than native-born Americans. It’s a preposterous supposition but one familiar to students of previous rightwing immigrant panics, like the Kate Steinle shooting, which led to much xenophobic screaming in 2017. The overreaction then was not so outrageous, probably because the actual killing took place before Trump came to power; now any headline provides cover for his racial-purity campaign. Maybe next he’ll tell us his bombing spree in the Caribbean is actually retaliation for immigrant murders going back to Sacco and Vanzetti.
Speaking of which, I was surprised Tubby didn’t use his Wednesday night address to announce Operation Fracas in Caracas -- guess we’ll have to wait for the release of some creepier Epstein Files to goad him into declaring war. As it was, the speech turned out to be a bizarre tantrum. As I’ve observed before, even when touting his (largely fictitious) achievements, Trump seems totally uninterested in persuading anyone who isn’t already prone to believe anything he says; like his other wacky displays -- the giant ballroom, the triumphal arch, sticking his name on the Kennedy Center and dumb insults on Presidential portraits -- it’s all just an endless ego rampage by a dangerous lunatic who should be nowhere near the levers of power.
Speaking of which, there is one (1) free Roy Edroso Breaks It Down issue this week, about what Tubby’s Rob Reiner rant says about his approach to governance. If you guys want more of this stuff -- and what sophisticated connoisseur of Substackery wouldn’t? -- you should subscribe, especially at our HOLIDAY SALE price that makes the already absurdly low annual price genuinely unbeatable at $56/year.
