Friday Stuff


I know one minute of this demented lying lunatic is way too much, but I think this needs to be presented for the very reason stated by Brian Tyler Cohen, namely, that – yeah – the Gropenfuhrer wants to see his political enemies put in jail at a minimum or, at a maximum, put to death…



…and I think the irony of this is almost too precious for words, as Stephen Colbert points out (re, the federal judge who will hear the appeal of the subpoena for the tax records…oh, and remind me to never visit Montoursville, PA – I’d sooner take a trip to Guatemala first…and I know we went over the Katie Porter/Ben Carson thing once before, but I think it’s worth a replay)…



…and this is the time of year for a lot of yard work I realize, especially with a bit of nice weather, so I think this story is even more important about Mike Papantonio talking with fellow attorney Kim Adams about the CA verdict in the Roundup case (and yeah, I know this is from The Putin Network, but the reporting looks solid…I think Pap’s outrage here is totally justified)…



…and as we approach summer, I’m kind of in the mood for a newer, outdoorsy tune with some nice harmonies, so here it is.

Wednesday Stuff


I’m not sure Will McAvoy could have put it any better (and I don’t think that Jeff Daniels is giving the Dems a pass here either, nor should he but for notable exceptions like AOC and Elizabeth Warren…if the shoe were on the other foot, as it were, Fix Noise would have so many screaming “IMPEACHEMENT!!!” banners moving across the screen leading into their shows that watching them would probably cause motion sickness)…



…actually, though (and speaking of the “I” word), the previously named culprits tossed it around for a hell of a lot less when Number 44 presided at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue as this 5/22/17 clip shows (my, how the weak-minded forget, or choose to be idiots...and yep, you guessed it – time once more for the latest installment of “This Day In Doomsy History”)…


…and Kyle K. tells us about Navy SEALs allegedly committing “shocking acts” in Iraq and the pressure that members of our military faced not to report them, and the embrace those accused ended up receiving from our aforementioned wingnut media and our Tiny Handed, Treasonous Orange Lying Dictator (NSFW – this is truly one of the most depressing stories I’ve heard in a looong time)…



…and Lawrence O’Donnell gives us the latest on Dem U.S. House Rep Katie Porter of CA, who continues to do great work, and Ben “Oreo” Carson…what a truly arrogant SOB this clown is (and believe me when I tell you that, growing up in the Philadelphia suburbs, I had to listen to more than my share of horror stories about Section 8 housing, though NOTHING prevented B’nai B’rith from importing Russian Jews into similar accommodations…not saying one arrangement was preferable to another, but just stating a fact…Lawrence has been slurring his words lately – hope he’s OK)…



…and it looks like this milkshake thing is a trend all of a sudden; yeah, violence is pointless and I don’t approve of this, but damn, it sure is funny sometimes – waste of a good dairy product, though (NSFW at the very end)…



…and yesterday marked the 138th anniversary of the founding of the Red Cross…I’ve found out some questionable stuff concerning this once-esteemed organization which has been under CEO Gail McGovern for a little while now (here), but nothing current…I don’t understand why someone in her position running a nonprofit should be making a mid-six figure salary at a minimum, like this cretin also, but I guess that’s why I’m just a filthy, unkempt liberal blogger…this tune comes to mind (never an excuse not to donate, though, if you have the opportunity).

Monday Stuff


God only knows if the heartland, as it were, has truly turned on the Gropenfuhrer as the folks have as shown in the clip, but we’ll see; got a perverse kind of kick out of that news mannequin asking the farmer if he was “unpatriotic”…just cash your check, have a laugh at the “rabble” and pass the sweet and sour shrimp, dear…



…and Farron Cousins tells about the U.S. House Dems crafting legislation to make sure Trump is indicted for obstruction of justice when he leaves office, though, as Cousins pointed out, yeah, you CAN indict a sitting president; Repugs would have had NO ISSUE WHATSOEVER with trying to indict Bill Clinton…and good point by Cousins about going after Dubya…



…and Missouri House lawmaker Barry Hovis needs to say “oops” and get out – out of public life, anyway (what the hell is it with these bleeping Republicans on this stuff??!!...yeah, I guess I should know what they're all about by now...and to me, the last minute or so of this from Ana was particularly good)…



…and with the prior clip in mind, I give you this from Think Progress about the “party of Lincoln” and ABORTION ABORTION ABORTION ABORTION ABORTION ABORTION ABORTION ABORTION ABORTION ABORTION!!!!...



…and gee, maybe we ought to do something about this climate change thing, huh, as Kyle reminds us (NSFW)…



...and we recently observed the 70th birthdays of Bill Bruford and Rick Wakeman of Yes; with that in mind, I give you the following.
