CURRENT EVENTS - May 8-11

His reaction time to news events not of his design seems increasingly erratic (not knowing about India attacking Pakistan or Vance saying Russia is asking too much until press told/asked him about it, not responding to the Fed until this morning).
 
Loomer, having claimed “scalp” for the original Sugeon General nominee, immediately attacks the new one, wellness influencer and no -practicing physician Casey Means (with whom the MAHA crowd is delighted):

“… “In fact, we think it would be important to out those vapid and intolerant artists to ensure producers know who they shouldn’t hire — and that the public knows which shows have political litmus tests to sit in the audience," he continued.

… Just yesterday, the Trump special envoy aired his grievances with ABC and American Idol for simply having Miranda mentor contestants. This, he complained, was “an obvious move to support political intolerance.”

Grenell even requested that Federal Communications Chairman Brendan Carr get involved, though what he could do about it remains unclear.…”

Given how much Trump is hated by the vast majority of the entertainment industry, I seriously doubt they're going to be able to "blackball" anyone. And frankly not many MAGAs probably attend or pay attention to this stuff, so any boycott by conservatives isn't going to affect them much. If anything, I would expect that any Trumper attempt to blackball actors, directors, producers, etc. will likely only make them even more popular within the entertainment community and general public.

And by the time Trump is through the only bookings the Kennedy Center may be able to get are Ted Nugent, Billy Ray Cyrus, Kid Rock, and Kanye West concerts, Scott Baio and Kelsey Grammer monologues on their lives and careers, and pro wrestling matches. Jacqueline Kennedy is likely spinning in her grave.

The obvious next response is an executive order revoking Alexander Hamilton's birthright citizenship.

Casey Means is an interesting one. She graduated from Stanford Medical School and then went to do an ENT residency but dropped out when she was close to being done- she claimed she got disillusioned with the medical system that incentivizes procedures done on sick people for profit versus preventative care.

Her dad was involved in politics and her brother was a lobbyist for the food industry. Now she and her brother are selling an app (for like $200 a month) to track your hormones, for kind of nebulous wellness reasons.

All in all, to me it just shows that MAGA/MAHA will swallow just about anything as long as you tell them what they want to hear.

Edit: here’s a pretty good article outlining her views.

Maybe she shouldn’t have chosen a very expensive med school and done a residency that is almost strictly procedure based. Just a grifter like all MAHA/MAGA
