Wednesday Stuff


Ana and Cenk of TYT tell us that TX Repug Guv Greg Abbott is set to sign off on a bill allowing people to carry guns without a permit if they’re not already banned by state and federal authorities...what could go wrong (all kinds of loopholes to the federal background check system, etc...and yeah, as Cenk says, the cops want to be able to ask about the gun if the person possessing it is the “wrong” skin color)...



...and John and Adrienne Lawrence of The Damage Report tell us that Trumpsters are still going nuts (did they ever stop?), believing that Biden is illegitimate, but the clip also looks at the context of polls where Dems viewed Dubya and Trump the same way (I would argue that there are actual grounds FOR REAL on 43 and 45, but hey, that’s just me I guess...sorry the bar graph is hard to read)...



...though Farron Cousins tells us here that what passes for Republican strategists are apparently mad at Biden because #46 isn’t agitating their beloved, Fix-Noise-ingesting base enough (Biden should hold a press conference in a tan suit and ask for Grey Poupon for his hot dog...the wingnuts will be in a lather for months)...




...and I now give you the latest installment of “This Day In Doomsy History” (more or less) from 5/25/10, in which we learn about the trash miniseries “The Kennedys,” which was due to air on The US History Channel that year (produced by utter scumbag Joel Surnow of “24,” pictured above) but was dropped due to commendable pressure from filmmaker Robert Greenwald and others as noted here...the program ended up airing on ReelzChannel in this country in February the next year, as noted here...



...and with our 35th president in mind, I should note that yesterday also marked the 60th anniversary of JFK launching his goal of landing a man on the moon before a joint session of Congress (here - speech in the clip with the same theme is an address to Rice University in 9/62)...



...and happy belated 63rd birthday to Paul Weller (of The Jam and Style Council).
