Before we matter-of-factly decide to certify the re-election of Cantaloupe Capone on Monday, I thought it would be called for to present the latest installment of “This Day In Doomsy History” (more or less) from 1/8/21...I have absolutely nothing else to add to this outstanding commentary from Seth Meyers in response to the insurrection incited by #45/47 except to point out that a majority of people in this country utterly ignored Meyers’s fine words and re-elected not just Bronzer Beelzebub, but Cancun Cruz and “Running Man” Josh Hawley also (still hard to wrap my head around the utter failure of our media, courts and political institutions that enabled this latest travesty)...
...and Chris Hayes responds to more wingnut BS in the wake of the New Orleans terror attack (this Mike Waltz and the inaptly-named Randy Fine screeching about OMIGOD THE “OPEN BORDER” AND SCARY MUSLIMS COMING TO KILL US ALL!!! as the reason for the NOLA attack which doesn’t stand up to, y’know, VERIFIABLE FACTS AND REALITY!!)...the attacker was a U.S. Army vet who rather obviously had problems, and we still need to do more digging into what exactly led to this, assuming we’ll ever find out the exact reason, and it’s quite possible that we never will...
...and David Pakman informs us that the Las Vegas truck bomber (a decorated Green Beret vet) apparently was a Trump supporter, though, as Pakman rightly says, we don’t know all of the motivation behind this act also and it’s possible we'll never find out exactly what happened here as well...and I read King Elon I sh*tposting on Xitter about “oh, this guy messed with the wrong person” more or less meaning Musk, which is a typically ridiculous thing for Elon to say given that 1) The vet driving the truck is dead, and 2) Were the vet still alive and had the chance to go mano-a-mano, the vet would likely break Elon in half...
...and here’s another unsettling item about Life In These united States, you might say; Jesse Dollemore lets us know that the FBI sez it has seized the largest cache of weapons in the history of the FBI in a Virginia home (as Jesse says, this may have slipped under the radar with the NOLA and Las Vegas attacks)...and yes, this Virgina person is also a Trumper, with pretty strongly implied threats of violence against (still for now) President Biden and Vice President Harris...
...and as if we weren’t bummed out enough, Farron Cousins tells us about babies found in dumpsters and drainage ditches (mostly dead) in Texas, which is a completely foreseen consequence of making abortion illegal and cutting funding for adoption services and pre-natal and early childhood development services...I’m sure there are destitute third-world countries that take care of kids better than they do in “the land of the yellow rose”...
...and there are times when I feel like tunes like this are the only response I can provide to all of this madness, so I hope you’ll indulge me for this occasion.
