It's difficult to imagine the news getting any worse than the crap we've been dealing with over the last five months. Just when you think we've hit rock bottom, we live through another week of Dump 2.0 and we realize there is no basement.
The senate right now is in the middle of the vote-a-rama on its way to passing the Behemoth Barbaric Bill Act which is worse than anything we could have imagined. The orange idiot-in-chief has also taken us down through the depths of Opposite World as his lies continue confusing those who somehow still retain some semblance of sanity. It's the kind of shit that proves Jonathan Larsen chose the perfect title when he launched his daily newsletter and called it The Fucking News because it really is!
For a really good explanation of what's happening with that Big Bloated Bullocks Bill, check out David Dayen's article "Trump Tax Cut Magic Wand Kicks Off Vote-a-Rama."
And here's John Oliver's funnier but still truly informative segment on it from last night's Last Week Tonight:
As we do each Monday, Jonathan joins us today to recount some of that fucking news- both the shit that has us banging our heads against brick walls & sinking deeper into despair and the crap that we probably wouldn't know about if Jonathan didn't report on it. He did just that Saturday in his other newsletter where he writes up his original reporting -jonathanlarsen.substack.com- with a truly upsetting, despicable exclusive story headlined "White House Bible Study Teaches that Jews Killed Jesus". Yes, this is the same White House who claims that the motivating issue driving so much of their horrific policy is fighting anti-semitism.
Yes, that's why I call it Opposite World.
