Friday Stuff
I think Robert Reich does a great job here of telling us what we need to do tomorrow...for more information, click here (and moments like this were made for commentary by The Rude Pundit; with that in mind, I give you this)...
...and Desi Lydic of The Daily Show is back with Generalissimo “Sharpest Bulb” #47 omitting more oral flatulence in front of a captive audience at Fort Bragg (particularly screened for the MAGA faithful and “no fatties,” which is actually hilarious given that this is another attempt to fluff what must be the easily bruised ego of Bronzer Beelzebub, possibly the most out-of-shape chief executive we’ve ever seen this side of William Howard Taft)...and here is another headline alert for this sundowning orange meat sack; JAPAN WASN’T IN WORLD WAR I!!!...also with Ronny Chieng...
...and Brian Tyler Cohen brings us the news of Dem U.S. Senator Alex Padilla getting shoved out of a press briefing, dragged to the ground and handcuffed by Trumpist goons, all for trying to ask a question to DHS Secretary Kristi (“Unsafe At Any Speed”) Noem, which is part of Padilla’s job as a member of the legislative branch, and that is to conduct oversight of our out-of-control executive regime (Cohen speaks with Marc Elias; the latter is absolutely right that we need to look at the “big picture” as opposed to isolated incidents of going after Democratic judges, lawyers and politicians)...oh, and by the way, here’s an incredibly naïve suggestion (which I first saw at Eschaton, to give credit where it’s due); if Harry Reid were still the Senate Dem leader, I have a feeling that he would stage a mass walkout of his party in response and grind “the world’s greatest deliberative body” screeching to a halt (and once again, ICE agents are “doxxed”? Show proof...which you can’t because it hasn’t happened.)...
...and Chris Hayes tells us about the efforts to mobilize for tomorrow, and of course, the propagandizing in response from Fix Noise...Hayes correctly IMO draws a link between the 1/6 actual insurrection (and the Gropenfuhrer has largely pardoned those responsible, let’s not forget) and the “No Kings” protests...so of course, the wingnutosphere including Fix Noise has to spasm itself to life and use all kinds of deep fake, AI garbage and video clips of other events to try and scare their lemming-like audience into thinking that OMIGOD THE NATION IS UNDER ATTACK FROM ANTIFA, TREN DE ARAGUA AND GODLESS COMMIE LIBS!!!...and kudos to Hayes for presenting clips of prior protests for civil rights and in response to the Vietnam War, which is important history that we need to never forget (for anyone keeping score at home, I made an “executive decision” to move the Kyle Kulinski clip to next week)...
...and David Shuster informs us that MAGA has apparently erupted at Walmart heiress Christy Walton for promoting “No Kings Day,” so OF COURSE there is the inevitable boycott from “the great unwashed”...and in case you think I’m going to somehow feel sympathy for those smiley-faced SOBs, I can assure that I won’t especially since they don’t endorse Walton’s position...price gouging was something happening routinely under Biden coming out of COVID, but now with Our Treasonous Orange Pustule trying to burn down our government as well as our economy, any notion of discretion or propriety about not raising prices too high in response to Our Toddler-In-Chief’s beyond ridiculous tariffs is utterly gone, so yeah, raise the price of the Little Debbie’s Assortment by 30 percent – those NASCAR-loving hillbillies will just have to suck it...
...and turning to world events, John of The Damage Report tells us about Greta Thunberg getting deported when she sailed as part of an aid boat to Gaza, which of course was targeted by the IDF since supplying food and medical aid constitutes a terroristic attack somehow...I’m hot and cold on Sharon Reed to be honest, but she’s absolutely right to point out how cartoonish it is to have an “either/or” response to this ongoing misery...kind of a minor nit pick here to point out that Thunberg is now 22 and obviously no longer a child (and as far as this is concerned, let our "ally" fend for itself)...
...and I now continue my Brian Wilson tribute with these tunes.
