Thursday Stuff


Rachel Maddow gives us a warning about the “Nazi stuff” in Ohio (and elsewhere, unfortunately) going after drag shows – and great job to tie this to all of the hate legislation supported by the “party of Lincoln,” though I wish to God that wasn’t the case of course (and no, this image wasn't photoshopped...it was from a Bloomsburg, PA rally for Combover Caligula in September 2016 as noted here)...



...and John and Ana of TYT tell us about some Repug lawmakers in TX advancing a bill to overturn election results on some flimsy pretext about running out of ballot paper for more than an hour – now watch “all hat no cattle” Abbott and his minions do their best to short change voting machines in one particular Dem county (Harris County, apparently) to have exactly that happen so they can claim to overthrow the results – not 100% clear on the total BS procedural stuff for this nonsense, I have to admit...once more, heckuva job, Hangin’ Judge JR and his corrupt SCOTUS, to eviscerate the VRA and preclearance to allow this nonsense to happen...



...and sticking with “the land of the yellow rose,” Beau answers a question from someone who apparently called him a “female dog” (???) about Greg Abbott-stan and this bill to display the Ten Commandments in classrooms...Beau also discusses the Constitution and the commonwealths of PA and Virginia on the whole “after school Satan club” thing (more here)...



...and also sticking with our thoroughly corrupt SCOTUS, Mike Figueredo discusses WATB “Strip Search Sammy” Alito, and Figueredo also mentions Neil Gorsuch not naming the buyer for his property (which I know I got into earlier) and Hangin’ Judge JR’s wife making a cool $10 mil recruiting lawyers for top law firms, to say nothing of Almost Silent Clarence Thomas of course (and believe it or not, there is more on this guy and Harlan Crow here) and the fact that Brett Kavanaugh is pretty much guilty of sexual assault (allegedly...NSFW/H at the end)...



Update 5/5/23: Thomas just needs to go - full stop (here).

...and I realize corrupting the SCOTUS is pretty much the gig for Sen. Mr. Elaine Chao and Leonard Leo and The Federalist Society, but the “Nazi stuff” Rachel Maddow mentioned used to demonize the gays and LGBTQ individuals, as well as the Ten Commandments and going after women’s health care (and other stuff), are the issues used as distractions by the donor class (through they have real-world repercussions of course) to steal more and more in the way of tax cuts and all kinds of other corporate gifts via “model” legislation from the American Legislative Exchange Council, or ALEC...this video is a primer...and yes, you guessed it; time for another installment of “This Day In Doomsy History” (more or less) from 5/5/13 (and Chucky Koch and his cretinous pals were in the news recently again here)...



...and I know I mentioned earlier that I’m overdue for another Seth Meyers clip, and here is a recent “Closer Look” segment on Ron #DeathSantis’s dip in the polls, Our Ochre Abomination still holding electoral sway for his great unwashed minions, and Biden’s announcement that he’s running again...and oh yeah, Tucker’s downfall and the repercussions at Fix Noise once more (and well-said words at the end about the negotiations, though the strike has come to pass as noted here...I'll plan to have more on that tomorrow)...



...and here are two more tunes from Gordon Lightfoot.
