Wednesday Stuff


I thought this was a particularly good clip from Rachel Maddow about the positive outcomes from social distancing and other methods to try and prevent the COVID-19 spread from being worse than it was, which was bad enough (I would call a likely reduction of 60 million cases significant, though from every place I can see as we start to open, the cases are going up again)…



…and as long as we’re talking about COVID-19, I give you this Farron Cousins clip telling us about how Our Pumpkin Pestilence forced a Maine company to trash an entire day’s worth of testing swabs because 45 wouldn’t wear a mask when he toured the facility…



…and I think this latest Meidas Touch video is pretty spot-on also given all of the protests…



…and Chris Hayes recently spoke with Charles Booker, running to replace Sen. Mr. Elaine Chao in the U.S. Senate from Kentucky (a link to Mike Broihier’s site is here – not helping Amy McGrath because I’m done with Dems who do nothing but cave in for the sake of preserving the status quo)…



…and I’ve been meaning to get to this Thom Hartmann clip where he speaks with author Richard Wolff on the somewhat tenuous relationship between capitalism, socialism, and fascism…and yes, the discussion draws a link between pre-WW II Germany and this country right now, and sadly, I think that link is valid…



…and with the prior clip in mind, I now give you the latest installment of “This Day In Doomsy History” from 6/10/16…I thought this was also a good commentary from Bill Maher (who, as far as I’m concerned, doesn’t much matter for anything anymore) on capitalism and socialism…



…and Seth Meyers brings us a recent “Closer Look” segment detailing the latest insanity from our ruling cabal of liars and criminals (including a truly awful pun involving Larry Kudlow)…



…and apparently this song was played on many public radio stations in this country at around 3:00 on Tuesday as part of the memorial to George Floyd, which is commendable; yes, the man had a checkered past, and the fact that he had Fentanyl in his system definitely makes you wonder too, but he certainly didn’t deserve what happened to him, nor did many others protesting on Floyd’s behalf.
