Saturday Stuff


Truth (but again, we all need to work to make it happen)...


…and yeah, I think Cenk and John of TYT are pretty spot-on here concerning that utter joke of a speech at the UN by Nikki Haley regarding the recent idiocy of the Trumpsters on Jerusalem and Israel…



...and here are more seasonal selections.

Friday Stuff

(And for PA-08 folk, never forget that Brian Fitzpatrick voted for this atrocity; to let him know what you think of him, click here. Also, if you want to do something even more substantive about it, click here.)

In response, it should be noted indeed that Dems have to help themselves (and that includes running against the aforementioned Bri-Fi, who is now at least as big of a fraud as his brother...in his statement supporting this fleecing from his web site, he refers to the estate tax as the "death tax," which should tell you all you need to know)...


Update 12/25/17: And you own THIS too, Bri Fi!

…and potty mouth Kyle K. tells us here that the Gropenfuhrer is now officially the most unpopular president for his 1st year in the history of polling (yeah, but those 30 percent or so dead enders think he can do no wrong of course - NSFW; good stuff starting at about 4:30)...



…and while we do our best to restrict Internet access in this country, the Brits move in exactly the opposite (and in a much better) direction (another aspect of our deteriorating infrastructure that the “party of Lincoln” steadfastly refuses to do anything about)…


...and God, I thought this was funny - can't imagine why they cut it from the show (you can always count on those utterly saccharine Hallmark specials particularly at this time of year – yeah, maybe saying that makes me a Grinch, but am I wrong?)...



…and I’m throwing some new seasonal selections into the mix, though I’m saving an “evergreen” one for the end.

Thursday Stuff


(And yeah, either this guy or this guy would be awful for their own reasons also, but at least they wouldn't have "the attention span of a gnat on meth," as Repug strategist Rick Wilson so correctly put it. And it wouldn't lessen the motivation of "the resistance" either, or it certainly shouldn't anyway.)

(Oh, and by the way, DSC and DCCC, I know you’re trying to get ready for next year, but when you send me your leech-like fundraising emails, it REALLY isn’t a good idea to begin your screeching by telling me how many times you’ve already emailed me trying to suck some $$$ out of me – “Nancy Pelosi Emailed. Steny Hoyer Emailed. Ben Ray Lujan Emailed. Tom Perez Emailed. Zasu Pitts (Google her) Emailed…” I don’t appreciate being talked to like I’m some kind of a f*cking deadbeat!).

And speaking of next year (which I realize we need to do, even though we’re in the midst of the holidays), this 45-second clip should be put in a time capsule and replayed as frequently as possible (“have fun storming the castle,” according to a line from a favorite movie)…


…and here is a related Nail. Hammer. Head. video from Robert Reich…


…and when it comes to health care, I would say that our friends up north continue to get it right as a country, as opposed to us…


…and I know, one day, we’ll have another president capable of basic human decency – just a reminder that Generalissimo Trump’s predecessor knows how to spend the holiday season…


…and I know I’ve cut back on the holiday videos largely because of other stuff competing for my time, but here are four that I definitely don’t want to forget about (including the one where I’m STILL looking for a bicarbonate of soda).

Wednesday Stuff


(Make sure you read the caption - fits as far as I can tell...sorry if you have to view it on desktop.)

Kudos to Ady Barkan for this,and Godspeed in his courageous struggle (as far as I know, Sen. John McCain won’t be voting and will remain in Arizona for his cancer treatment)…


…and with everything else going on, we also need these assclowns on Capitol Hill to the right thing on DACA…


…and when it comes to Net Neutrality, TYT’s Hasan Piker has some choice words for conservative shill Ben Shapiro (NSFW)…


…and to me, this is a Godly man who, I believe, has seen the error of his ways at long last…


...and here are a couple of more seasonal selections.

Tuesday Stuff


Seth Meyers brings us up to date on the latest tax bill carnage and the other typical nonsense from Generalissimo Trump…



…and uh huh, it looks like the “blue wave” is indeed coming next year, though we all have to do our part to make that happen; I would guess that the only metaphorical card, as it were, that the Repugs have to play on this are more voter disenfranchisement tricks, though they know a lot of them to be sure…



…and here are a couple of more seasonal selections.

Monday Stuff


So what is the #CorkerKickback all about, vis-a-vis the thoroughly ruinous tax bill in Congress? David Sirota explains…



…and yeah, what Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders say here in response – true dat



…and here are a couple of more seasonal selections (once again, cutting back on the tunes this year).
