I admit it takes me longer to gather the Nice Stories these days when Stupid abounds, but here's what's making me smile for a Tuesday: RAFAEL, ER, TED, UM, KAREN
The other day Senator Ted Karen Cruz got into a confrontation with employees at Bozeman
Yellowstone International Airport which grew so heated that law enforcement had
to get involved, a new video showed on Sunday.
Cruz was spotted at the Montana airport on Sunday,
apparently irritated that he had missed his flight and pitched a hissy because
he’d missed the check-in window for his flight, and that
re-booking options were 'limited out of Bozeman due to Spring Break.'
As
always happens with a Karen, someone was filing the exchange, which shows Cruz
vigorously nodding his head in annoyance at the two female employees; he
appeared less annoyed when the female employees stepped aside and a single male
law enforcement officer took over.
The person who took the video claims Cruz muttered something
along the lines of ‘Don’t you know who I am’ to the police who says he did not
know who the Karen was, until after Cruz had walked away.
One thing of note, the Texas Republican who last week
claimed pilots and flight attendants regularly “hug “ at airports because of
his stance against mask mandates, and who also proudly rode around DC in a big rig during the protest over mandates, was wearing a mask.
Cruz was finally able to leave that evening and all of
Montana heaved a sigh of relief.
Oh Karen …
MILA AND ASHTON
Kudos to Mila Kunis and her husband, Ashton Kutcher, for
their efforts to help the people of Ukraine during Putin’s attack on that
country.
Kunis, a native of Ukraine, and Kutcher
have set up a GoFundMe campaign that has so far raised over $35 million toward
refugee and humanitarian aid efforts. The couple also pledged $3 million of
their own money.
The couple’s GoFundMe is HERE, and then HERE is
a list of other ways to help Ukrainian refuges.
KIM
DAVIS
A
U.S. judge ruled that a former Kentucky Kounty Klerk Kim Davis county knowingly
violated the rights of same-sex couples by denying them marriage licenses in
2015, clearing the way for a jury trial seeking damages against her.
Davis
thrust herself into the center of the same-sex marriage debate when she refused
to issue marriage licenses to same-sex
couples citing the Baby Jeebus as her excuse.
The
two couples in the lawsuit— David Ermold and David Moore, and James Yates and
Will Smith— had sought to marry in the immediate aftermath of the landmark 2015
U.S. Supreme Court decision Obergefell v. Hodges, and sued Davis claiming she
had violated their constitutional rights. Now, with the essential facts in the
case now settled, the two couples can
proceed to jury trial to seek damages against Davis as an individual.
We
haven’t heard about Bigot Kim in a long time and it’s nice to see that she’s lost
her battle and can be sued.
Now,
see there? It’s not all Stupids; there’s some fun and nice and well-deserved
news in the world today! | 
Kudos indeed to Kunis and Kutcher! Well done them!
ReplyDeleteOh, Kim Davis. The long arm of the law is reaching out for you, slowly but surely!
ReplyDeleteCan you imagine a jury of Kim Davis' peers? Oh the garbage reekage in that courtroom!
ReplyDeleteI was stunned to see Kim Davis still in the news but was relieved when I read the article. Yes, some satisfying stuff here today!
ReplyDeleteThat Cruz fellow sounds like a nasty piece of work. Is he any relation to Penelope Cruz?
ReplyDeleteJust out of curiosity - what is the situation in the USA with regard to bringing in Ukrainian refugees? That Trump creature could easily give over his Mar-a-Lago residence to Ukrainian refugees and Cruz has probably got a spare house somewhere too.
I understand Cruz was pissed because he was going to miss the 1st day of Jackson's confirmation hearing.
ReplyDeleteMila and Ashton! They're the kind of celebrities Conservatives hate.
Kim...(deep belly laugh), being the worst part of a shit sandwich, deserves earns every debt she'll renege on paying.
I wish there was more we could do to help the Ukrainians - send Brain Swap Cruz to visit the Kremlin?
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to know we have not got de-sensitized when we hear the good stories or where some finally can't their cakes and eat it too.
ReplyDeleteAnd kudos to Ashton and Mila. I always enjoyed them.
*BARF* Kim Davis.
ReplyDeleteAshton and Mila: awesome. Have you seen Jupiter Ascending where she speaks in Ukrainian? Zelenskyy personally thanked them, too.
And may Ted Cruz burn for an eternity.
XOXO
Soooooo not surprising about
ReplyDeleteT.Cruz.
xoxo :-)
It truly is wonderful to see some famous younger people making a difference when they can and being socially responsible. Good for Mila and Ashton.
ReplyDeleteKim Davis -- what can be said about this reeking pile of inhumanity. I don't understand these people that demand their freedums and yet blithely deny other people their freedoms. They couldn't be hypocrites, could they?
To "Don't-you-know-who-I-am Cruz"; yes, millions of us unfortunately do know who you are, we just don't care!
Would like to draw your attention to a typo in this sentence? "and who also proudly rode around d DC in a nig rig during the protest over mandates, was wearing a mask."
Well, well, well... Davis is finally going to get her due, eh? About time. Now she'll scream louder about how horrible it is that she's being discriminated against for her belief in the Baby Jeebus! Can you go to jail for stuffing a rag in someone's mouth? Asking for a friend....
ReplyDeleteAfter spending a good portion of the day watching the confirmation hearings, I'm just going to focus on the REALLY GOOD NEWS regarding the money raised by Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher! And, the fact justice has in fact prevailed and KKKim Davis can be sued personally for her egregious behavior!
ReplyDeleteThankyou, sugarpie xoxo
