Fast forward to Gaetz' wedding...



And, after the wedding?



Two-gun Boebert's wedding party invited, with her "friends"?



And, Matt still doesn't get it (although he wants to get some of that)

7 Texas Officers Are Fired in Death of Black Man Restrained in Jail

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/01/us/marvin-scott-texas-jail.html

Seven sheriff’s officers in Collin County, Texas, were fired on Thursday in connection with the death of Marvin D. Scott III, a 26-year-old Black man who died after being restrained at the county jail last month.

“Evidence I have seen confirms that these detention officers violated well-established Sheriff’s Office policies and procedures,” Jim Skinner, the sheriff, said in a statement, adding that an eighth officer had resigned.

The police in Allen, Texas, just north of Dallas, arrested Mr. Scott on a marijuana possession charge on March 14. He had less than two ounces of the drug, according to the authorities — a misdemeanor.

The police said they had taken Mr. Scott to a hospital because he was acting erratically. He was then taken to the county jail, where county officers restrained him and pepper-sprayed him. A spit hood was placed over his head. He died later that night.

All those years of economics courses and I am still dumbfounded...

Maybe I should have gone for the PhD.

Anyway, here we are dumping trillions into the economy to help small businesses and people rubbing their last dimes together. I see the poverty and the lines at food banks.

But, somehow there's a whole bunch of people bidding housing prices sky high. Just saw a listing where in one day there were a dozen or so cash bids and went to contract as soon as the lawyers could get off their asses. There's a huge building boom around here, and the builders are so busy they won't answer the phone. Start thinking of a half million to get a bungalow.

This does not add up.

Gaetz isn't worth too much of anyone's time, but a few quick words...

First, what does one expect from an ingnoramus who can't spell "Gates"? Or is he pretending to be Slovakian royalty?

About the pedophilia-- why get caught up in the rightwing habit of accusing him of a worse act simply because it generates clicks and hatred? Pedophilia is with small children, not teens over the age of consent in a dozen states. Yes, 16 is the age in all those states bordering Florida, so all he had to do was skip to a motel just over the border and he'd be OK.

Trafficking? That's for when you take a hooker over the border. Or take someone over the border to sell her. Federal charges for him are a stretch. Must be more to the story.

This piece of shit is smelly enough to make Mar-a-Gago stink even more. No one has to work to make him look even worse than he is.

OK, here's where Cuomo and I part company...

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/31/nyregion/cuomo-book-nursing-homes.html

If you get hit by the paywall, here it is in a nutshell...

We all know Cuomo wrote book bragging about his Covid exploits. But, while he was negotiating a $4 million advance, the nursing home numbers were hidden.

His close staff were helping with the book, and perhaps helping a bit too much.

BASTIDS! Stupid, ignorant, useless bastards. Did the last guy fire EVERYONE who knew...

what they were doing?

Waiting patiently for my stimmie payment, I get a letter from the IRS today. Mailed 3/19. GREAT! Now I at least get some news, if not money.

So, I opens it up and it informs me that my $600 payment was direct deposited. Not a word about the latest one except that I should get it eventually.

If I paid taxes, I'd be glad to see my tax dollars were being put to even better use than the F-35.

Anybody else not get stimulus direct deposit? I get SS deposits right on time and got...

the last two stimulus deposits.

But not a hint of this one.

Going to ask the bank later. They might know something. Or they might not.
