Laissez les mals temps roulez

 We've been warned.  

"This is theft," said some woman at the Russian Foreign Ministry, referring to the move by the US and the EU to seize assets frozen by western governments since the invasion of Ukraine.  "It's the appropriation of something that doesn't belong to you."  Russia is something of an expert, having "nationalized" about four hundred planes leased to Russian airlines around the same time.  Well, it was that or ask North Korea to return its fleet of Tupelev flying coffins.  The plan is to earmark the profits from the frozen assets to finance the reconstruction of Ukraine.

They should send Ukraine the money now.  Last night the Senate passed a bill worth $95.3 billion in aid to Israel, Taiwan and Ukraine, but God spoke to Mikey Johnson in the person of Trump and commanded him not to bring it to a vote.  Can't argue with that.

We should listen to the Europeans when it comes to fascism -- they have long memories.  Instead, Lindsey Graham decided to get into a long-distance slap fight with Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk.  Tusk made the mistake of invoking St. Ronnie:  "Ronald Reagan, who helped millions of us win back our freedom and independence, must be turning in his grave today.  Shame on you," he told Senate Republicans.  Graham blew up the Xweet to poster size and yelled at it:  "I could care less what you think," he declared, because that's how you ignore someone's opinion.  On C-SPAN.  "I want to help Ukraine...but my country is on fire."  Yes, the "broken border" again.  They're burning Texas to the ground!  Also, Lindsey needs to get back in Trump's favor after revealing to Fani Willis that he cheats at golf.  

Idaho is getting things done.  It's already the only state with a law against cannibalism but state rep Heather Scott (R-Ofcourse) doesn't think it goes far enough.  She introduced a bill to ban feeding human flesh to another person without their consent, which seems perfectly reasonable.  What set this off was the practice of human composting, which people are choosing as more environmentally sound than burial, cremation, or having yourself stuffed by a taxidermist and put on display in a London college.  Scott is afraid the result will be used to grow food, which is practically the same as the Jeffrey Dahmer cookbook.  The practice has left her "disturbed."  Her word, not mine.

Down in Missouri there's a bill under consideration that would allow abortions for child victims of rape and incest, but gubernatorial candidate Bill Eigel has spotted the flaw:  "A one-year-old could get an abortion under this."  Only if the infant were pregnant.  Eigel is not the first Missouri Republican who has no idea how biology works -- remember Todd Akin?

Look, here's another transcendently dumb Republican who wants to be a governor.  North Carolina's Mark Robinson wants trans women arrested if they use a women's bathroom.  They should "find a corner outside somewhere," which suggests he would legalize public urination and defecation.  (Does Ron DeSantis know about this?  He was shocked to see practically everybody in San Francisco using the sidewalks on his last visit.)  

If Lindsey Graham is mad about Donald Tusk he's going to hate Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas, the newest addition to Putin's enemies list.  Kallas has long supported Ukraine but she went too far when she proposed removing World War II Soviet monuments.  There's something about uprooting ugly statues that triggers the deplorables.

At this point there's little to be said about the Satanic, rigged Super Bowl, so those late to the party are having to magnify crumbs.  Some guest on the Harris Faulkner Fun Fun Hour reported how appalled she was to see Taylor Swift drinking a beer at the post-game party like some...some...I don't know, 34-year-old woman who enjoys a beer.  Won't someone think of the children?  And the recovering alcoholics?  Meanwhile Megyn Kelly found another thing that isn't white enough for her, Andra Day's performance of "the so-called Black National Anthem," Lift Ev'ry Voice and Sing.  "We already have a National Anthem and it includes EVERYONE," she Xweeted, stung to be excluded during Black History Month.  Before a game played predominantly by Black men.  If Megyn ever wanders into a hockey game and is asked to stand for O Canada she might topple over.

Margie Greene is always thinking about the people of Georgia.  I'm kidding, she couldn't care less.  Today she's mad about the state granting tax credits to "Hollywood commies" who bring many jobs and much revenue to Georgia (not counting the enormous Tyler Perry studio in Atlanta).  What set her off this time was an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm where Larry David gets arrested for violating one of Georgia's cruelest laws by giving water to a woman waiting to vote.  He becomes a local hero, winning the praise of Stacey Abrams and Bruce Springsteen.  "This week's episode lied and painted GA conservatives and Trump supporters as racists and red necks and made fun of our good new law that stops the Stacey Abrams vote pandering machine and prevents voter fraud," she huffed.  Hot as it gets even in November, I don't think a bottle of DaSani persuaded all those people to elect two Democratic senators.  Two of them, Margie.  In words you can understand, bite me.
