Tuesday Stuff


John Iadarola and Yasmin Khan of The Damage Report tell us about Bo-Bo Boebert defending pardons for the 1/6 insurrectionists and offering them tours because of course (I think they proved already that they know where the building entrances are, seeing as how they tried to utterly destroy them...and rest assured that, even though those life forms in Colorado sent her back to Congress, that doesn’t mean I’ll stop referring to Boebert's past misdeeds)...and boy, is John’s question at the end spot-on (and I thought Yasmin Khan provided some pretty clear-eyed commentary also, especially about cops having “qualified immunity”...if she and her fiancĂ©e are still trying to get out of Texas, I wish them good luck)...



...and if I say something about that vaping, groping harpie from Colorado, then I guess I’m almost legally obligated to include something about Marjorie Trailer Trash Greene...Richard Ojeda informs us that Dem congresswoman Rashida Tlaib went after that biological mistake from the peach state, and unsurprisingly, the issue was immigrants (and yep, I had a feeling this was over that horrible Laken Riley bill that Bri-Fi and WAY TOO MANY GODDAMN CHICKEN DEMS supported, and I was right...I got into that here)...”it’s not about justice, it’s about power” indeed, along with pointing out that Our Lord didn’t preach “blessed are the snitches” as Ojeda rightly says...and by the way, does it even do any good any more to note that Bronzer Beelzebub and his pals killed the Lankford/Murphy bill in the Senate that gave the “R” team everything they wanted on this issue? (Ojeda has had a lot of good commentaries, but this may be his best IMO)...



...and Ojeda talks about creeping authoritarianism (actually, at this point, it may be at a full gallop, tragically), and Thom Hartmann does here also, informing us that “seize the media first” is pretty much right out of the authoritarian playbook...didn’t know that half the country gets their news from social media, but I guess I shouldn’t be surprised (explains even more how badly the Dems fell down on that in the last election)...and yep, I also think we need a new phrase to go after these one percent bastards; I mean, we need a lot more than that, but that’s a start anyway (and I think calling them “the morbidly rich” works also)...have to admit that I didn’t know about the “two Santa Claus” theory from The Sainted Ronnie R...



...and in keeping with the dictatorial theme of Dear Orange Leader, Jesse Dollemore brings us the tale of Trumpist lickspittles basically interrogating applicants for administration jobs about when their supposed “MAGA revelation” took place...yep, anybody paying attention to this stuff surely knows at this point what Jesse is emphasizing; namely, that #47 has always wanted nothing but to be a dictator and to make sure those catering to him align with his interests and definitely not what is best for the country...



...and I guess we should take whatever humor we can get when we can get it; Ronny Chieng of The Daily Show lets us know about Our Ochre Abomination trying to end birthright citizenship and getting slapped down by that “bleeding heart” Reaganite judge...



...and as we rearrange the deck chairs while in the path of the proverbial iceberg, I thought it would be worthwhile to enjoy a newer tune while we still can (very slightly NSFW/H for a second).
