Thursday Stuff
Emma Vigeland and the crew of The Majority Report let us know that “MAGA Mike” Johnson can’t explain why Louisiana isn’t getting the “Trump national guard” treatment, with Gavin Newsom pointing out that Johnson’s state has a higher crime rate than Newsom’s, and of course Johnson blames the “Soros-funded, Democrat DA” in Shreveport, a charge which caught the state’s Repug Governor Jeff Landry off guard, among others, with Landry supporting the DA in question as noted here...and of course, when Johnson says “urban area,” that’s code for “OMIGOD we have to keep the ‘blahs’ and the Hispanics and the single mothers raising kids in their place!”...and good job by Emma IMO for calling out John Berman’s follow up question which is basically taking for granted that calling out the freaking national guard to our cities is OK in the first place (and maybe the stats in Philly under Larry Krasner having to do with violent crime are positive, but Krasner has made some big mistakes also IMO, including not seeking the death penalty for the perp accused in the shooting of Ofc. Christopher Fitzgerald - here).
And oh yeah, one of the quickest Google searches of my life yielded the following...
Here's the clip from The Majority Report...
...and Brian Tyler Cohen discusses the recent exchange between Our Ochre Abomination and a White House reporter about the Epstein files...in a weird way I’ll admit, I’m a little OK with Cheetoh Hitler continuing to lie over and over about how well this country is supposedly doing, because that means that the butt-whipping he’ll eventually get will be one he’ll likely never forget...yeah, I get it that the red states are doing their best to rig next year’s election, but if the results of special elections so far are any indication, they’re going to have to come up with a hell of a lot more than that to hang onto power...such a gaggle of Repug idiots in this clip including Comer, who probably can’t get through a day without uttering the words “Biden” and “scandal” in the same sentence repeatedly (NSFW/H)...
...and I know this is a little behind the media cycle here, but I wanted to get to this clip of John Iadarola and Elliott Morgan of The Damage Report addressing the “Is Trump Dead?” rumors...and no, I’m not going to go on the record wishing he would take the dirt nap, because then it becomes “Oh, you mean lib! How typical of you to want that for our commander in chief!”...so no, I’m not going to give the wingnuts an opportunity for BS with a self-inflicted wound like that...and I don’t have a clue as to what’s going on with the stuff thrown out of the White House window – hard to keep up with all of the ways that Our Ochre Abomination has utterly debased everything to do with being *preznit...story more or less ends at about 5:42, with the discussion turning next to which woeful offspring from Our Treasonous Orange Pustule would inherit the resolute desk, with apparently Eric saying he’d run depending on how badly his father screwed up – yeah, we’re talking about a real MENSA candidate here (#sarcasm)...I’ll have to catch up on the show “Succession” to truly get the reference here...yeah, between Uday and Qusay versus Couch Boy for ’28, NONE of these options are good for the health of our nation as Morgan says...
...and Sam Stein and Jonathan Cohn of The Bulwark bring us the utterly ridiculous story of Flori-DUUH! getting rid of vaccine mandates (here)...yeah, “Dr.” Joseph (“Disdain and Slavery”) Ladapo is totally nutty, which I’m sure we knew already...yes, this poses a threat to anyone who is immune compromised as discussed (kids AND adults), as well as the fact that it takes longer for some kids to build up immunity than others; also, vaccines can help fight off other infections that may permutate from measles or whooping cough or other viruses...can’t think of a word to describe how idiotic it is for us to have these cures at our disposal and not using them when others in poorer nations don’t have access to these therapies but would dearly want that...
...and sorry I'm a little late with this also, but RIP Graham Greene...
...and I'm not sure about the "headphones thicker than blood" part, but the rest of this newer tune nails it as far as I'm concerned.
