Friday Stuff

To find out more about a march in your area, please click here (and more is here, including David Cay Johnston on why this matters).

And maybe I’m putting my proverbial tin foil hat on and finding black helicopters or something, but I think it’s genuinely weird that I CAN’T FIND ANY FREAKING VIDEO ANYWHERE BY ANYBODY about this!

Well, when it comes to financial matters, I have to admit that I’m going back and forth a bit on this story, and maybe the bull artist (literally) has a leg to stand on, but sorry – I just don’t see that at the moment (and Matt Lauer makes a funny - tee hee...GMAFB)…



Update 4/15/17: Maybe it isn't my imagination after all (here).

…and speaking of financial matters, if Repug U.S. House Rep Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma had any brains, which he apparently doesn’t, he would have kept his mouth shut about his salary – see, Thom Hartmann used that Google thingie to find out exactly WHO DOES pay him besides the salary he draws for existing as a shameless corporate shill, and yeah, it’s about as bad as you might imagine (starts off with the United Airlines story of the doctor dragged off the plane)…



…and in case anyone thought Repug idiocy was exclusive to the U.S. House, Kyle K. tells us about a guy in the North Carolina state house who found a way to equate Abraham Lincoln with Hitler – for real (NSFW)…



…and Rachel Maddow tells us here about “immunity gnome” and coward Jeff Sessions (can’t take credit for that nickname) and the case of Maribel Trujillo, who was snatched up by ICE apparently for the “crime” of being a loving mother and caring for her daughter (can’t imagine how those cretins at ICE can draw a breath without pangs of guilt…don’t know why our side can’t do a better job apparently of drawing a line between horrors like this and the wingnut “sanctuary cities” garbage)…



…and I don’t have anything particularly brilliant to say about this, but I only want to point out how hilarious this tweet is from Cliff Schecter in response (re, Ben Carson getting stuck in the elevator while Alonzo Mourning waited)…



…and returning to the “Gropenfuhrer,” I love Rick Wilson’s takedown of Eric Trump, who has no business even being in any kind of a political dialogue (“The emerging picture about Russia never gets better for them – it always gets worse.” Indeed)…


…and Joy Reid tells us about Trump health code violations at Mar-a-Lago (and why is that oddly appropriate?)…



…and partly with tomorrow’s marches in mind, I give you the following tune (we did better than expected this year – hope you do and did too).
