Grumbles, Growls, and Guffaws 20190529-2

One problem with having lived for over 60 years is when I see something advertised as a bargain, I remember when it was much, much cheaper.

Nothing is too petty for the 45 administration: Crooks and Liars: Red Painter:

'The White House was so worried about upsetting Donald Trump during his trip to Japan that they placed a TARP over the name of the USS McCain, the ship was "relocated" to obscure it from sight and the ship's sailors were given the day off.'

A step forward is a step forward:

• Daily Kos: Laura Clawson: New Hampshire abolishes death penalty, as state Senate overrides Gov. Sununu's veto. 
• Daily Kos: Gabe Ortiz: Maine has become the latest state to ban harmful, so-called “conversion therapy” for LBGTQ minors. “By signing this bill into law today,” said Democratic Gov. Janet Mills, “we send an unequivocal message to young LGBTQ people in Maine and across the country: We stand with you, we support you, and we will always defend your right to be who you are.”

So now the latest Rambo film is our action hero defending his home and ranch against THE OTHER, said villain looking to be some faceless corporate perhaps doing a land grab, or else the "deep state" trying to silence him. Alt-right much?
