Thursday Stuff

(By the way, in response to “The Donald,” I propose a general strike in this country on Friday 2/10. And I mean EVERYBODY. Any takers?)

To begin, Rachel Maddow brings us the latest on the anti-Trump resistance – I get concerned and I hope the response to the Gropenfuhrer hasn’t peaked too early (as well as the Dems maintaining their collective spine), but somehow I think the fraud and pretender taking up space in An Oval Office will continually generate enough outrage via his utter stupidity and cruelty to continue fanning the metaphorical flames (and is it my imagination, but did I actually see “Holy Joe” Lieberman at DeVos’s hearing?)…



…and Chris Hayes talks with Dem Senator Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island about the crowd’s protest over Whitehouse’s vote to confirm Mike Pompeo to head the C.I.A., though it turns at the end to Neil Gorsuch, nominated by Generalissimo Trump for the SCOTUS – not going to war, so to speak, with Whitehouse over this (though I’m certainly no fan of Pompeo, bought and paid for by the Kochs), but kudos to Whitehouse for endorsing the protests…he should, but it’s nice that he does (by the way, the show from 2/1 led off with great interviews with Steve Schmidt, Rep. Joaquin Castro and David Miliband, but good luck trying to find them on MSNBC’s perpetually wretched web site)…



…and nice work by K.O. to draw the line between Twitter Tantrum Baby and Former Commander Codpiece…



…and Kyle K. tells us about the latest on the Repugs waging economic war on working men and women in this country (something to remember in light of this – NSFW)…



…and Sam Bee does her thing on the Sally Yates firing and other Trumpian stupidity (here)…



…and, when deciding to protest or not to protest, always remember the title of this song.
