Tuesday Stuff


Leeja Miller’s latest video reminds us that, yes for certain, Combover Caligula is a fascist...clip does a compare and contrast exercise in the matter of Former President Drumpf and a certain maniacal Austrian failed art student (wonder what would have happened if his old man had just let him paint postcards or something?)...important history on the rise of the Nazis in Germany, and yes, it isn’t hyperbole to say there are comparisons to what we’re facing at the moment, especially when Miller goes down her four-point checklist at the end...wonder if any of this stuff occurs to the life forms sticking up their beyond-obnoxious Trump/Vance signs everywhere? Probably not (and I’m glad to see that she worked in the Kochs, including Davey, who may be doing somersaults in hell at this moment...and kudos to Miller also for working in Project 2025), and as far as I'm concerned, that recent MSG hatefest was a nod to this...



...and in keeping with Miller’s video, Lawrence O’Donnell opines that reporters must ask Bronzer Beelzebub what good things Hitler did (more important history here on WWII, and I was also glad to hear about the Taft family endorsement of Sherrrod Brown for U.S. Senate; Brown is a great Dem and deserves all the support we can provide, along with PA’s Bob Casey)...



...and David Pakman informs us about MAGA a**holes booing a reporter’s question about #45’s running mate Couch Boy accepting the ’24 election results...and again, these minions (along with the “tech bros” VP pic) keep pushing the insane lie that the ’20 election was fraudulent, no matter how many f*cking times you try to explain logically to these nematodes that BIDEN WON FAIR AND SQUARE AND OUR OCHRE ABOMINATION LOST!!! And yeah, leave it to this Ohio assclown to encourage an alternate slate of electors, which is ELECTION FRAUD FOR REAL!!!...



...and I guess I’m a little late with this, so apologies...David Doel discusses Tim Walz calling Elon Musk a dipshit, which is spot-on IMO...GREAT point about how ridiculous it is to, in essence, argue that we’re a “center-right” country politically when progressive policies poll so well...I honestly think Doel is overdoing it a bit with his criticism of the Harris campaign for allegedly moving to the center ideologically at the behest of some Biden folks working for her, but he does offer spirited support of economic policies from Harris/Walz, particularly regarding school lunches and raising our Dickensian federal minimum wage...



...and John Russell of More Perfect Union tells the story of fracking waste stored in an Ohio town by a company called Austin Master Services, and yeah, this goes back to fracking in “Frackalachia” (hadn’t heard that term before, but maybe I should have I’ll admit), and the Ohio Department of Natural Resources wasn’t much help here, until the folks at Martin’s Ferry dragged them kicking and screaming to make Austin Master Services clean up their mess, which should have happened before the parent company declared bankruptcy...you can chalk this up to corporate exploitation of the fact that people in this region and elsewhere need good paying jobs to survive in our end stage extraction economy, where every damn thing in the world is monetized, and you can also chalk it up to brave activism by the folks in Martin’s Ferry...



...and I think it's about time to get into some selections for "All Hallows Eve" with this number.
