This week's winners and losers
Feel free to add your own.
This is totally subjective and strictly what caught in my net, but the winners?
Ohio, where voters stomped an initiative that would have made it more difficult to change their state constitution. The vote — 57 to 43% — should frighten a few people who need frightened. This bodes well for future state-by-state discussions about abortion rights.
Some lucky person in Florida who won the $1.58 billion Mega Million jackpot, which, if it’s taken in a lump sum, would be about $595.3 million, which is still quite a lot more than I have in my checking account so cool.
And the losers?
People who live anywhere near the world’s hot spots, where temperature records were set by the boatloads.
The people of Texas, who are saddled with one of the most sadistic governors ever.
Twitter/X, which continues its slow slide down the greased pole to hell, and earlier, we find, had to pay a $350,000 fine for not handing over information on tweets (x’s?) from TFG.
Speaking of which: TFG. Forever and always he belongs on the loser list, and the guy may be looking at more indictments next week. Glory!
Feel free to add your own.
I vote to add Ron DeSantis to this week’s loser list. He suspended Orlando State Attorney Monique Morrell this week and he replaced his Campaign Manager in one more attempt to resuscitate his failing campaign.
My winner is a private duty nurse who lives next door to us in Murrells Inlet SC where she just took in 6 week old baby to care for. The baby is deaf, blind and has other issues. And an honorable mention to my wife who cuddled this poor sole while our neighbor opened her door and brought in supplies.
My loser is the Bristol Republican (cultists all, see the story in The Bristol Edition article written by Jack Krampitz) regime that attempted to appoint Ms. Van Gorder to the BOE. She is an avowed anti-vaxxer and worse (think the scene from The Field of Dreams where Amy Madigan stands up to challenge the book banner). Fortunately, due to public outcry a more moderate person was appointed BUT Van Gorder is on deck and awaiting her turn at bat where she will swing for the fences . Such people are WORSE than losers!
