Saturday Stuff

Thom Hartmann tells us more about the anti-HRC FBI faction (and kudos to Hartmann for continuing to point out the impact of that mongrel Kris Kobach and his abuse of the interstate cross-check list, possibly the most unreported story of this entire sorry election; how in God’s name that was even legal is something I cannot imagine)…



…and gosh, I’m so shocked – NC Repug “bathroom bill” Governor Pat McCrory loses, so he and the Repugs in the NC state legislature try to metaphorically “kneecap” the incoming Dem governor-elect…typical (didn’t know that the Dems were worse on gerrymandering than the Repugs – shouldn’t be legal for anybody, and boy, do I agree with Cenk on how Roy Cooper should be handling this)…



…and time once more for some seasonal selections – and he didn’t even have to throw the tomahawk for this one (you can Google it)…



…and who says Santa doesn’t know how to swing?...



…and I was really waiting for him to break out in a Stewie Griffin impression here, but he didn’t – nice job (and standards are tough to sing, from what I know of that, which isn’t much I’ll admit)…



…and I think it’s safe to say that these guys are light years beyond the treadmills by now.

Friday Stuff

Yeah, I definitely think we should all familiarize ourselves with the meaning of the word “kleptocracy”…



…and to head that off, I give you the following recommendation from K.O…



…and Martin Sheen, among others, here…



…and how dumb were you anyway, voters for “Donald Drumpf” who actually DIDN’T think this would happen? (coming for Social Security, led by this fossilized Republican chairman of the Social Security Subcommittee on the House Ways and Means Committee, from Texas of course)...



…well, time again then for an escape with the holiday selections…



….and here’s a song in the Christmas spirit, you might say…



…and here’s a retro tune…



…and if you’re going to get hammered, please don’t drive (no joke).

Thursday Stuff

Looks like Santa got his fake news delivered to the North Pole, all right (or should I say "alt-right"?)...

...and Thom Hartmann tells us how President-Elect Fergus Laing and his minions will try to achieve their nefarious goals if we let them (speaking once more of fake news)…



…and I think Seth Meyers makes a similar point, though with a little more humor…



…and yeah, it’s time for another patented K.O. smack down, as it were – I’ve seen some posts from the usual conservative suspects alleging that Olbermann is talking crazy talk; yeah, the fact that others are trying to marginalize you is the first step towards eventual acceptance (oh, and isn't this just precious also?)…



…and time to enjoy more seasonal selections while I take a tranquilizer.

Wednesday Stuff

Given the end of Trey Gowdy’s ridiculous BENGHAZI!! circus (here), I think it’s important to revisit this segment from Lawrence O’Donnell…



...and Samantha Bee has some advice for the Democrats here (something to note also in light of this)...

…and oh yeah, remember when this country was capable of the type of moral outrage that U.N. Ambassador Samantha Power displays here? Well, you can put something like this in a time capsule and you should probably lock it up tight, since it will be nothing but a historical curiosity after the regime of Generalissimo Trump takes over (she might as well have asked some of these questions directly to The Big Orange Cheetoh himself)…



…and I’ll admit that I’m a little behind on this, but Mike Malloy tells us here about the KKK parade in Roxboro, NC for President-Elect Fergus Laing…



…and once more, I give you some holiday selections to keep from going completely bonkers.

Tuesday Stuff

Here’s K.O. with #11 in his series “The Resistance,” summoning the fury that I believe is completely appropriate…



…oh, and why exactly does this clip sound familiar again (here, and kudos to HRC for this - and what does this also tell you)?...

…and I’m trying to scale back on the political stuff, even with all of this insanity going on, so here are the seasonal selections (not sure when I’ll get back to actual new music, but I will eventually)…



…though this is a new holiday selection…



…and it’s really difficult to imagine Christmas without Darlene Love, at least for me anyway (thankfully she's still with us of course)…



…and yeah, I still need that bicarbonate of soda.

Monday Stuff

Rachel Maddow brought us this recent report on supporters of President-Elect Big Orange Cheetoh and polling, which tells you just what kind of a parallel universe they truly live in (and by the way, I’m not trying to impugn the woman in the pic above extending her finger)…



…and I give you the latest installment of “This Day In Doomsy History” (more or less) from 12/12/11; the video is a compilation of instances where the blog Think Progress performed some actual journalism, taking some of the supposedly august members of the political/media/industrial complex and holding their metaphorical feet to the metaphorical fire, as it were – TP has slipped a notch as far as I’m concerned, not because it’s not a great blog anymore IMHO…it definitely still is that; it’s just that its work was of such a high quality at one time that I didn’t think it would be possible to maintain that level of excellence forever…if nothing else, consider this video a lesson in what we’ll ALL have to do with the incoming regime of Generalissimo Trump and his “cabinet of deplorables” (also, as our new US authoritarian overlords due to take over on 1/20/17 malign those not towing the Repug conservative line. such as TP, Crooks & Liars, and even Talking Points Memo, believe it or not)…



…and here are more seasonal selections.

Sunday Stuff

Yeah, looks like President-Elect Donald Drumpf-ski isn’t so big on counterterrorism, but yeah, rooting out those meddlesome scientists with their meddlesome research into poisoning the climate and their meddlesome conclusions that we ought to be doing something the hell about it…yeah, now THAT’s a priority all right (don’t know what the big story was after this video, by the way)…



...and Sam Seder tells us a way that, maybe, at long last, we can get Merrick Garland confirmed to the Supreme Court (I think this would be the beginning of a totally deserved payback for all of the Trump/Comey/McConnell/Putin garbage, by the way)...



...and here are some seasonal favorites.
