Jonah Goldberg In Trooooooouble For Loving Obama

Yesterday Jonah Goldberg committed the surf 'n' turf of Republican sins: (1) he posted something on The Corner on Easter Sunday, so Jesus will probably have to kill him, and (2) what he posted waspraise for Barack Obama, the noted communist! Now he is being attacked by some readers and more importantly Rush Limbaugh, who is HUNGWY.

Here is the heresy Jonah committed against everyone yesterday:

Good For President Obama [Jonah Goldberg]
He approved the rescue. It was the right thing to do, with no small amount of risk. And God bless the SEALs.

Whoa whoa whoa. First of all, the timestamp on this post was, "04/12 09:11 PM." Terrorist much?

But look: God will bless whomever He wants. Maybe consult K-Lo next time you mention His name, Jonah. K-Lo knows the shit out of this shit. (Oh right, ha, they are the same person. Nevermind.)

The reaction was predictable:

Obama & the Rescue [Jonah Goldberg]
My morning in-box is full of snark and bile from some folks who think I shouldn't have congratulated President Obama for the rescue last night. It does sound like some of the reports saying he personally ordered the rescue were misleading.

Then APOLOGIZE you fucking socialist.

But you know what? Congratulations anyway. It's good news the captain was rescued; Obama is the commander-in-chief and this happened on his watch; if he were thoroughly Carteresque he would have ordered that the pirates not be harmed, and you can be sure some of the snark-and-bilers would be blaming Obama if this ended badly (and I might have been one of them).

Might as well get a gay abortion at this point, liberal.

And now an update from yet another post about this major scandal shows that Jonah, The Corner's juiciest steak, will be EATED:

Update: Apparrently Rush Limbaugh is attacking me now. Or so say listeners via email.

How dare he not listen to Rush Limbaugh! Jonah is finished.

Good For President Obama [Corner]

No-Show Almost-Interior-Inspector-General Sh*tcanned From Previous No-Show Post

Suzanne Israel Tufts, GIT OUT.

News

Tough week for Suzanne Israel Tufts, the nice Trump campaign lady with no experience doing investigations who was almost appointed to oversee, or at least overlook, the Interior Department's four ongoing investigations into Ryan Zinke's "ethics," for want of a better word. Not only did she not get that nice job as acting inspector general after the media got hold of the story and everyone said it stank to high heaven, but Tufts, who had been employed at the Department of Housing and Urban Development, suddenly up and quit that job too late Friday. Pour out a 40 (gallon barrel of industrial waste, into a poor community's water source) for her, won't you?

We Told You The Trump Administration Was Coming For Your Birth Control Pills.

Should employers be allowed to tell you what to do with your compensation?

Feminininism

Once again, the Trump administration is coming after birth control. Specifically, they are looking to issue rules that would roll back the Affordable Care Act mandate that requires that most employers provide insurance that covers it, which would leave god knows how many women across the country without access. The administration had previously attempted to eliminate this mandate last year, but said attempt was blocked by two federal judges on the grounds that doing so would cause "serious and irreparable harm."

But now they're trying again, because forcing people to have unwanted children just seems like a really fantastic time to them, I guess. If these rules manage to get passed, and if the Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade as it is expected to, the Right will soon be closer than ever to the future filled with barefoot and pregnant women making them sandwiches that they have always dreamed of. For the rest of us, it will be a pretty shitty time.
