Friday Stuff


Brian Tyler Cohen tells us about Lawrence O’Donnell’s clip on the pic of Nancy Pelosi telling Generalissimo Trump to take his highchair and go sit in the corner – even with all of this that we’ve seen and likely will see, there are times when I still can’t believe that all of this is actually going on…



…and Michael Brooks tells us about the infantile letter that Mango Mussolini wrote to Erdogan of Turkey (mildly NSFW)...



…and I’m not totally sold of the legitimacy of the whole “Republicans for the Rule of Law” thing, but I have to admit that this is a pretty good ad about our Orange Pestilence…



…and Pap and Farron Cousins talk about the Repugs packing the courts with corporate judges (Cousins is absolutely right to lay this at the feet of Sen. Mr. Elaine Chao and The Federalist Society and Leonard Leo, as opposed to President Fergus Laing…and no, I don’t think the Democrats totally understand this issue either, unfortunately)…




…and, in a way, I feel like I have to apologize a bit for starting this off with you-know-who instead of paying tribute to the giant who has recently left our midst, and that would be Dem U.S. House Rep Elijah Cummings of Maryland, but I definitely would like to do so now (nice remembrance here by Cenk, Ana, and David Dayen of TYT...more here)…



…and I thought this was a pretty good clip by Robert Reich and Inequality Media about why the 2020 election represents another “break the glass” moment, and why we need to do that the RIGHT way this time…



…and I now give you the latest installment of “This Day In Doomsy History” (more or less) from 10/19/12, in which Chris Matthews, plugging his book of course, talks about JFK and the Cuban Missile Crisis, which we were in the middle of 57 years ago, offering a lesson in presidential leadership that is not to be found anywhere at the moment (and let's not ever forget about this guy also)...all the best to Matthews in his recovery from prostate surgery (here) - clip is from Bill Maher back when he still mattered, and kudos to Matthews for telling Andrew Sullivan to shut up, a guy who is utterly beyond useless and does nothing but try to troll Dems and progressives and usually fails miserably…



...and happy upcoming birthday to Karl Wallinger of World Party.



And with that, I'll take my leave for a little while - I'll plan to fire this all up again in about a week.
