Friday Stuff


Beau of the Fifth Column discusses the Repugs and their “Principal Skinner” moment when it comes to losing younger voters; this epiphany of sorts is brought to us courtesy of Kellyanne Conjob – “they’re demonstrating that they want to rule, not represent” – uh huh...



...and Ana of TYT tells us that big stupid head Matt Gaetz wants Biden to indiscriminately cut funding of programs relied on by poorer Americans, all for the sake of raising the damn debt limit (JUST MINT THE FREAKING COIN ALREADY, DARK BRANDON!)...



...oh, and speaking of Gaetz, Bobo, Marjorie Traitor Greene and all of their pals, it looks like they want to defund the FDA over the abortion pill, as Farron Cousins discusses in this clip (the party of limited government strikes again)...



...and in the prior clip, we learn about the consequences of nutty Trump judge Matthew Kacsmaryk’s ruling to ban the abortion pill; staying in “the land of the yellow rose,” John and Jayar of The Damage Report introduce us to married-with-a-child state rep Bryan Slaton, who warns everybody about “groomers,” but whaddaya know...it looks like he’s a little too chummy with one of his under-21 interns (just say “oops” and get out)...



...and going even further down the rabbit hole when it comes to Repugs, their media acolytes and “doing the nasty,” Kyle Kulinski (in a pretty much NSFW/H clip) brings us Blaze TV host Steve Deace, who basically says that men, according to him, are getting so much sex that they’re bored, which, among other things, is more than a bit of a “tell” about how he approaches the subject...not my business I know, but I wonder how his wife feels about that statement...I did a little checking on this guy, and apparently he’s a wingnut “fave” because of disgusting nonsense such as this, this and this...



...well, to return the content to something more hopeful and upbeat, David Doel tells us about thousands of Rutgers faculty on strike...for graduate students to have to fight for a $30K-or-so wage that is basically poverty given what they have to spend on their education is highway robbery at a minimum, particularly for a university that made $816 mil last year as the video tells us (more great reporting on this from The Lever is here)...



...and with Justin Jones and Justin Pearson returned to the Tennessee state house where they belong, Lawrence O’Donnell tells us that the two recently appeared with fellow Dem Gloria Johnson to commemorate the 60th anniversary of “Letter From A Birmingham Jail” by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in front of the Lorraine Motel, where King was gunned down (the site is now a museum, as O’Donnell tells us)...



...and here’s a newer tune for the kids to help us into what hopefully will be a good weekend for everybody; I had a chance to put this up a week ago, but I don’t think Good Friday would have been the correct time for it...everybody has to draw the line somewhere I guess.
