Thursday Stuff
Kyle Kulinski lets us know that private prison companies and other corporate interests are looking to make bank over immigration detention policies from the about-to-be-awful incoming administration of Our Treasonous Orange Pestilence...great discussion by Kyle about the utter perversion of monetizing not just health care, but detention also, and Kyle is150% right on private prisons...and I can’t think of a hell hot enough for the people behind CoreCivic and GEO Group, and calling it the Patriot Act on steroids captures it, unfortunately (NSFW/H)...
...and Mike Figueredo lets us know that MAGA chuds are apparently just now realizing that Trump’s tariffs will screw THEM, including the PA company where the workers now won’t get their Christmas bonus basically because they returned Cantaloupe Capone to the White House...also, that Xitter post I believe complaining that Congress has the power of the purse in essence (correct) while saying that the president is not a king (also correct) even though that person apparently supported Trump is just cosmically stoo-pid...and yeah, I knew Doug Ford in Canada was a numbskull, and this clip provides more proof...and I definitely HATE to inflict more Trump lying nonsense about OMIGOD THE MIRGRANT CARAVAN OF THOUSANDS POURING OVER OUR OPEN BORDER, but I have to in order to provide context for the great response from Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo of Mexico, including that line about addressing root causes affecting people’s mobility...Figueredo is also correct to point out how our foreign policy de-stabilized Latin America, to the point where that has led to mass migration to our southern border, even though that is something that indeed most people in this country don’t care about (NSFW/H)...
...and John and Francesca of The Damage Report speak with Erika Andiola on Trump’s deportation scheme...it does indeed appear that the new regime will show up to workplaces such as restaurants and construction sites to bag people and try to drag them off...and I can’t believe I’m typing these words in the context of reality, but that is where we are thanks in large part to about 78 million or so idiots supporting Trump and the other nitwits who sat out the presidential election or wasted their votes for third-party candidates (and I have to admit that I keep forgetting that there were a bunch of deportations under President Hopey Changey also)...
...and Thom Hartmann informs us that Missouri, Kansas and Idaho are suing the FDA to limit abortion pill access, saying that decreased births are “a sovereign injury to the state itself,” leading to diminished political representation from fewer residents (or so alleged, as noted here); language like that should give you a clue into the level of insanity we’re talking about here – yep, it’s all about monetizing every conceivable aspect of people’s lives in the most extreme way possible all right (including the people themselves)...
...and you guessed it - here are more seasonal selections.
