Sharon Reed of Rebel HQ gives us Navy vet Chris Farrell responding to Baby Goebbels who says that D.C. is less safe than Baghdad...the video also includes Mary Trump responding about Stephen Miller (and oh yeah, along comes Clay Travis, Gutfeld and this Rob Schmitt character to spread more lies about crime in “blue” cities...I would say that the reality perspective on this issue is here)...
...and Mike Figueredo of The Humanist Report brings us this segment of Ali Velshi basically saying that we have dictatorial rule right now, aided by utterly supine congressional Republicans, ineffectual Democrats, the thoroughly compromised High Court of Hangin’ Judge JR, and a gaggle of media lapdogs...Velshi carefully explains all the ways that Democratic norms in this country have been toppled (I think Velshi is generally a straight shooter, to his credit)...I knew there were protests in LA fortunately, but I didn’t know how continuous they were...and oh yeah, Cheetoh Hitler signed that EO of his criminalizing flag desecration; IMO, burning the flag is a stupid and insulting act, but it is protected free speech...I have to admit that it’s difficult to listen to Our Treasonous Orange Pestilence given what a stupendous liar he is...and no, this won’t make me a fan of John Bolton or Governor Bully also...and of course, leave it to our gang of unindicted criminals to continue abusing Kilmar Abrego Garcia...and I knew about Mango Mussolini going after CHOP to get the records of trans kids, typically despicable as that is; glad Figueredo is pointing that out...didn’t know the term “competitive authoritarianism” either until now (NSFW/H)...
...and the following is a PBS Newshour report on Russian propaganda being well received by fundie “Christian” nut jobs in this country, in particular Marjorie Train Wreck Greene and The Swanson TV Dinner Heir (and oh yeah, that nut case Alex Jones also)...and yeah, I know about Glenn Greenwald, a supposed lefty who is nothing but a “tankie”...and I’d never heard of this Robert Amsterdam lying nut until now (and it figures that Vlad The Butcher is shutting down “non Orthodox” churches in Russia, showing how utterly clueless the fundie nut jobs in this country are about the guy in charge of Russia supposedly being so devout)...make no mistake; these “fellow travelers” within our shores have played an outsized role in landing us in the autocratic mess in which we’re currently stuck...
...and speaking of authoritarianism, apparently Bronzer Beelzebub has created a spreadsheet showing how supposedly loyal companies are to him, and yeah, this indeed is straight out of the playbook of Vlad The Butcher...#47 is absolutely the most easily manipulated human being perhaps in the history of creation (Farron Cousins and Caleb Cunningham of America’s Lawyer tell us about it)...
...and Thom Hartmann suggests that maybe the only way around fascism is universal health care (Medicare for All to be exact)...and Thom is right about Taft-Hartley getting passed under Republican control to basically undo (as much as possible) the Wagner Act that established collective bargaining, passed during the Great Depression...and yes, health care should be a right and not a privilege...didn’t know that President Lincoln created 74 land grant colleges – important history...and if Dean Baker is making the Medicare for All argument, then you know he’s doing that with sound economic footing...and I’m pretty sure Thom means that there was legislation passed in 2021 to increase ACA subsidies, with that legislation due to expire at the end of this year...didn’t know also that Taiwan was so progressive when it came to providing health care for their citizens (speaking only for myself, I know someone who left this country in search of better health care and apparently found it)...
...and SRV left us 35 years ago today.
