I was going to ignore this commentary from Lawrence O’Donnell about Gen. John Kelly’s appearance yesterday in the matter of the Gropenfuhrer’s bungled call to the family of Sgt. La David Johnson, one of the four Marines killed in Niger (more here…maybe a bit of Trump fatigue, though that definitely isn’t acceptable I know), but I’m glad I didn’t…and yeah, based on what Wilson says in the CNN article, Kelly is a liar...
…and Chris Hayes talks to Dem U.S. House Rep Luis Gutierrez about the ongoing misery in Puerto Rico – hard to keep track of all of the wretched infamies of our treasonous, ruling cabal of kleptocratic pirates - to help, click here…
…and here is your periodic reminder that so-called “trickle down” (on?) economics is bullshit (h/t to Sen. Bernie Sanders)…
Trickle-down economics is a myth, plain and simple. Creating massive tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations doesn't create jobs. pic.twitter.com/Y9ynhX4pUO

…also, I give you another reminder that politics is most definitely a contact sport also “across the pond” – kudos to actor Mark Ruffalo on Twitter for this (here…more on Scottish MP Mhairi Black is here)…

…and Cenk and Ana tell us about the Biloxi, MI school district that banned “To Kill a Mockingbird” by Harper Lee because it apparently made people “uncomfortable”…funny, but I thought that was the point of the book and the movie (another response is here)…
…also, tomorrow marks what would have been the 100th birthday of John Birks "Dizzy" Gillespie.
