Wednesday Stuff


OK, I’m back after a really nice break...to begin, Rachel Maddow tells us about Mango Mussolini’s lack of concern over voting, spouting that garbage about never having to vote again after you vote for me one time, or some such nonsense...and yeah, the “don’t worry about voting” stuff is particularly wacky, but as always, saying that stuff is a “tell” for something, and it sounds like there’s indeed some scheme in the works not to certify elections in swing states...once more, people need to go to prison over this garbage, and Marc Elias knows what he’s talking about on this subject (paging Biden/Harris; are you on the lookout for this stuff?)...



...and Jesse Dollemore tells us about Our Ochre Abomination chickening out on the debate with presumptive Dem presidential nominee Kamala Harris, which Jesse called (and yeah, the excuse from that Trumpist flak Steven Cheung is demented even for that bunch)...



...and Farron Cousins tells us that, the more that people know about Project 2025, the more they hate it, and there’s plenty of push-back on Truth Septic to emphasize that...



...and speaking of Project 2025, Thom Hartmann reminds us that a big part of that is pretty much a full-on war on our environment from the usual wingnut suspects, led by Charles Koch (big surprise I know...not!)...also, Thom tells us about Joe Manchin and John Barrasso in the U.S. Senate introducing something called the Energy Permitting Reform Act as part of that, which represents still more attacks on the ecosystem of our planet, and which is particularly bad since we’ve recently had still more of the hottest temperatures on record across the globe...



...and Beau of the Fifth Column gives us a commentary on the fact that the U.S. House flunkies under “MAGA Mike” Johnson really haven’t done ANYTHING to tell their constituents about while they enjoy their summer break (those miscreants in the House I mean), and that includes a few funding bills needed to keep the government running, so we may be looking at a shutdown (terrific)...and apparently Beau is going to step back from making videos, but he’ll have others contributing to the channel; I’d say the man has earned the right to “stand down,” if you will...



...and I hope you're in the mood for another seasonal tune, because ready or not, here it comes.
