Thursday Stuff


Yeah, it tells you something when yesterday’s punch lines become today’s “trending topics” or click bait of a sort because of rampant “both siderism” in our corporate media primarily, with a significant assist from the wingnutosphere, as Chris Hayes points out…



…and in a typical bullshit Trumpster move, it looks like the head of the National Park Service, Dan Smith, isn’t going to allow the March 24th student protest in DC (here); as noted here, Smith once cleared about 130 30-to-40-foot trees around Redskins’ owner Dan Snyder’s house so Snyder could get a better view of the Potomac River (hard to tell who is the bigger assclown here – the captions fly by a bit too fast here; the video is basically over at about 4:00...another reason to hope for the Redskins to utterly suck this year)…



…even though what the students are protesting for is some sanity in what passes for our gun laws in this country, something the all-time hero of the wingnuts once called for here…


…and this is, without a doubt, one of the best gun commentaries I’ve ever heard from someone who “walked the walk” for this country; every time you hear someone say “oh, it isn’t about guns, it’s about mental health,” show them this video – IT’S ABOUT BOTH, AND A WHOLE HELL OF A LOT MORE BESIDES!!...


…and switching things up again a bit, I think our corporate media has come down with yet another case of “shiny object” syndrome on this whole business with Hope Hicks; I think that’s enough of a setup for this parody video (which reminds me that the Oscars are this Sunday – heh)…


...and given the wording noted here based on a quote from her, I had this tune in mind.
