What's Right?

 Did you hear? Marjorie Taylor Greene, she of the shouting "you lie" in the middle of Barack Obama's State of the Union Address and generally acting as a thorn in the side of anything that didn't reek of the MAGAt agenda has "come around." A little over a week ago, Marge announced that she was having a moment: She reckoned that the health insurance premiums for her adult children would double in 2026 if the Affordable Care Act subsidies expired. She was able to follow this reasoning by applying it to  "all the wonderful families and hard-working people in my district."

Elsewhere, Joe Rogan podcaster and former game show host broke with the MAGAts around this same time when he started talking about ICE. “Let’s just talk about the immigration thing,” he said to an audience of lemmings. “The way it looks is horrific.” Horrific? Joe, them's fightin' words! And he went on: “When you’re just arresting people in front of their kids, and just, normal, regular people who have been here for twenty years. That everybody who has a heart can’t get along with that. Everybody who has a heart sees that and goes, ‘That can’t be right.’"

Welcome to the world, Joe. Marjorie, help yourself to a little handful of acetaminophen as you attempt to imagine just how many other points on the path to reality you may have missed while sticking to your "party line." 

Your garden variety MAGAt, the kind without their own podcast or seat in the House of Representatives, has been steadily losing faith in their Dear Leader. The Worst has yet to plummet to the depths of his first term approval rating, but judging from the steady decline since the inauguration, it's only a matter of time. 

Meanwhile, the convicted felon ought not to ignore the appreciation he is receiving from folks like Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert, both of whom took a moment from their late night shows to laud the Mar-A-Lago Senior Pitch 'n' Putt Champion's efforts to bring about a cease fire in Gaza. 

When I was in high school I had a magnet stuck to my car's glove compartment in the shape of a pig wearing sunglasses, and it was emblazoned with this message: "Even a blind hog finds an acorn now and them." 

I guess what we're dealing with here is a bunch of blind hogs.
