…and Bill Maher has some cautionary words for our corporate media – I’ll put down even money that they’ll never listen, unfortunately (I think Maher could have done better than to use a poll by Fix Noise, though I'm sure he's basically right - here - NSFW also)…
…and Rachel Maddow’s “A” block last night was pretty terrific, which basically was the leaked DHS justification for the death of the Muslim ban (here), something I would call one of the top 10 stupidest ideas of any presidential administration, but her “B” segment was great also, arguing that the thoroughly compromised FBI of James Comey held out details of Jeff Sessions’s meetings with the Russians during Sessions’s confirmation hearing for Attorney General, something pretty much confirmed by Dem U.S. Rep Adam Schiff in this clip, who hinted that he may call for a subpoena to Comey to get the information we should all know about by now (once again, great thanks to all of you nitwits who did whatever it was you did to make sure we were saddled with this kleptocratic cabal of crooks and idiots…and nice job by Rachel to sneak in the reminder about how Comey & Co. went nuts over the alleged Hillary Clinton ZOMG BENGHAZI BENGHAZI BENGHAZI EMAIL EMAIL EMAIL!!! stuff, made all the more idiotic by this, by the way)…
…and just to give you an idea of how truly stoo-pid our media is (as noted above I know), now that the site of the DAPL protests is being shut down, there are a lot of stories along the lines of “oh, the trash at the site was so bad – boy, these people sure aren’t ‘eco-friendly’ after all” (here).
THEY WERE LIVING AND PROTESTING THERE FOR ABOUT SIX MONTHS! WHAT THE HELL DO YOU EXPECT? YOU TRY DOING THAT TO TRY AND PROTECT YOUR DRINKING WATER AND LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU DO!
And maybe burning a camp site wasn’t advisable, but at least that’s one way to prevent germs and disease from spreading.
(And P.S.: "Dem" U.S. Senator Heidi Heitkamp is a goddamn coward - here.)…
…and here is more on the Right (Not) To Work movement in this country from Robert Reich…
Since Election Day, KY and MO legislatures have already passed “right-to-work” bills and CO, CT, and ME are considering such laws. pic.twitter.com/gCtrn5nHzb

...and this was not exactly a shining moment by Betsy DeVos recently, but typical...

…and kudos to K.O. for still trying to diagnose what’s going on with the “Gropenfuhrer”- I would add, though, that former Repug Sen. Henry Cabot Lodge’s relentless opposition to the League of Nations had at least as much to do with defeating it and ushering in WWII as President Woodrow Wilson’s stroke…
…and happy belated 90th (!) birthday to legendary singer and social activist Harry Belafonte.
