Monday Stuff


Ali Velshi, sitting in for Lawrence O’Donnell, tells us about the report in the Murdoch Street Journal that the Feds are doing some digging into the inauguration of the Gropenfuhrer to find out where the money has all gone, including Ivanka Trumpgood luck with that I know…with Joyce Vance and Harry Litman…



...and Cenk and Ana of TYT bring us the latest on the NC-09 U.S. House election (somebody named McCrae Dowless apparently dimed out his fellow Repugs, and kudos for that...will they actually redo the election? They SHOULD!)...



…and turning from Republican nonsense in North Carolina, we now go to Ohio, where, in that state, they apparently are going to allow fracking chemicals to be used again to de-ice the roads…what could go wrong, I wonder?...



…and Francis Maxwell of The Breakdown tells us about Cyntoia Brown, a victim of sex trafficking who was convicted of killing a man who bought her for sex when she was 16 – the Tennessee Supreme Court said she’d be eligible for parole after 51 years, though Gov. Bill Haslam is considering clemency for her (here)…as Maxwell says, this stands in stark relief against what happens to hi-rollers who run into legal problems for related offenses…Exhibit A here is Jeffrey Epstein, represented by Kenneth Starr and Alan Dershowitz – pardon me while I retch



Update 1/9/19: Excellent! (her freedom I mean).

...and for a definite change to a more upbeat holiday mood (more or less), I give you the following selections.
