Monday Stuff


It looks like “Bidenomics” gave us more good job numbers and a lower unemployment rate for March, along with success beating back inflation, as The Lincoln Project reminds us (slightly NSFW/H at end)...



...and Beau informs us that “No Labels” will have No Candidates this year, at least for preznit, which is a good thing...as usual, Beau is spot-on about third parties; awhile back, Davey and Chucky Koch tried the third-party path for Davey’s vice presidential campaign, but that didn’t go anywhere, so they basically decided to take over the Repug Party instead...



...and when it comes to #45, Farron Cousins lets us know that Newsmax viewers recently freaked out over a story critical of Our Treasonous Orange Pustule (and oh yeah, blame a “low level staffer”...what a bunch of freakin’ babies!)...



...and Mike Figueredo lets us know that progressive Dem members of Congress are in danger of losing to AIPAC-backed opponents...looks pretty bad for Cori Bush and possibly Jamaal Bowman, unfortunately, and things could go south for Ilhan Omar and Summer Lee too, but we’ll see...as usual, we all need to do what we can to prevent that...definitely need to shine more light on the thoroughly execrable Jeff Yass also; the fact that Yass is a “Bibi” ally is bad enough, but leveraging that to influence our elections is repugnant on a pretty cosmic scale...and yeah, typical lying BS for Bhavini Patel to blame Summer Lee for not voting for Biden’s infrastructure bill when Lee couldn’t have done that because SHE WASN’T EVEN IN CONGRESS YET, as Figueredo tells us, though I don't agree with his “take” that members of “the squad” should run third party if they lose their primaries, because we can’t take the slightest chance of dividing the party enough to let an “R” party candidate actually win, and I'm saying this with Beau's video in mind...yes, our political system is screwed up, but we have to work with it for now, exasperating as that is (NSFW/H)...



...and I thought this was a good CBS News story about all the “Rosie The Riveter” women who played a big role in the World War II effort; looks like they’ll be getting their long-overdue recognition this Wednesday as noted here...



...and I’m not sure what tune is appropriate for a solar eclipse, but I suppose this one will suffice (and in a related story, I’m also not sure if there’s a bigger political absurdity at this moment than Sarah Huckabilly Sanders for this...just don't look up at the damn sky, OK??!!).
