This video from The Lincoln Project gives us a look into what awaits from the bone-headed tariff policy and disgusting attack on veterans’ health care from our incoming bunch of grifters and bottom feeders, and all for the purpose of rewarding the “pay no price, bear no burden” bunch who will be calling the shots in the upcoming cabinet for #47...
...and Ben Meiselas of the Meidas Touch Network lets us know that most of those polled somehow don’t think Trump will do what he says he’s going to do, and don’t like what he’s proposing anyway...tariffs on Mexico and Canada, trying to impose martial law (which may be a trickier legal fight, though given the awful behavior of our SCOTUS, that may be easier for Our Treasonous Orange Pestilence sadly), eliminating the CFPB, trying to get rid of the ACA, de-regulating cryptocurrency, mass deportation of course...and yes, I get it that people in this country generally disapprove of politicians, but I don’t know if I’ve ever seen that number at 75 percent before...also, eliminating the Dept. of Education, letting “Elmo” be a Trump advisor, amnesty for the 1/6 insurrectionists, etc., etc., etc. (and yes, as far as I’m concerned, this disconnect here is very much the fault of corporate media also for utterly failing in its task to inform and educate voters)...
...and I think Dem U.S. House Rep Melanie Stansbury of New Mexico pretty much nails the purpose of the Gropenfuhrer putting manifestly unqualified people in charge of federal agencies...
Rep. Melanie Stansbury is spot-fucking-on about what the fascist Trump regime is up to. 🎯🎯🎯👇 pic.twitter.com/FPS55BTFER

...and in this Occupy Democrats clip (don’t know who the presenter is), MSNBC’s Alicia Menendez apparently couldn’t sanitize the latest gibberish from Cantaloupe Capone...clip leads in with Marc Elias explaining how the wingnuts can’t get their story straight on 1/6/21...and unfortunately, I think Elias and Michael Steele (who could have done something about this when he held office, but didn’t) are right about the militia that #45/47 has organized and has probably infiltrated our military and law enforcement all over the place, ready to do the bidding of Bronzer Beelzebub at a moment’s notice (NSFW/H)...
...and I would guess that I'm about 2/3rds of the way through my seasonal selections (or maybe more)...don't want to leave these out, however.
Update: And by the way, I know there was another goddamn mass shooting yesterday, this time in Wisconsin (here...and I guess it’s a kind of sick evolution on this that this time, the apparent shooter was female). And I honestly don’t know what the hell else there is to say about it anymore, and apparently, Repug politicians don’t even go through the self-serving exercise of blathering about “thoughts and prayers” anymore either (I mean, ideas we’ve discussed probably a hundred times or more are still out there waiting to be tried). And this latest carnage took place in a state where one of their U.S. senators spouted this insulting nonsense.
Gee, maybe if one of those killed had been a CEO with a seven or eight-figure salary instead of a school student, our media and politicians would pay attention (and no, I don’t advocate violence against anybody).
Also, if you want to know why our ridiculous status quo on this awful issue never changes, the mentality on display here is a big reason why (as the C&L linked post tells us, in 2019, Dem Governor Tony Evers ordered the legislature to take up two very specific, common sense gun laws - a red flag law and stricter, more thorough universal background checks. The Republicans gaveled in and gaveled out of the special sessions in less than a minute, with no action of course).
