Wednesday Stuff

It looks like President Tiny-Handed Impulse Control Issue Egomaniac is trying more diversion and nonsense (probably to distract from Russia and trying to ruin health care) with this new idiocy about trying to bar trans people from serving in the military – we don’t know how this will play out, and he sure as hell doesn’t either, given that Number 45 has the attention span of a flea on meth in the first place (I have a feeling Rick Wilson said something like that about him – can’t take credit for it in good conscience)…



…and yeah, as always, it’s all about Jobs! Jobs! Jobs! from Not Your Father’s Republican Party, especially in the “land of the yellow rose” (I say that if lawmakers want to mandate that women report issues regarding their personal health, then male politicians who favor these awful bills should be forced to do the same thing, such as how many times they take Viagra or Cialis)…

..and speaking of health care, I thought Cenk and Ana gave “Senator Honor and Virtue” the treatment he deserved given that awful vote yesterday (and with all due respect to Bob Cesca, I really don’t care about this – this is more like it)…



Update 7/28/17: OK, give McCain credit for doing the right thing on Thursday night, but let's not forget that, as Laura Clawson rightly points out here, Collins, Murkowski and especially Mazie Hirono deserve credit too.

…and sticking with health care, potty mouth Kyle K. brings us a GREAT example here of how Dems are supposed to respond on the issue of single payer, courtesy of Ro Khanna (NSFW)…



…and I know I really didn’t have anything to say previously about Anthony Scaramucci, the Gropenfuhrer’s new mouthpiece, but I thought Seth Meyers summed things up pretty well here (after watching this clip, maybe his legal name should be Donald J. “I Know You Are, But What Am I?” Trump)…



…and aside from the tune which I liked of course, I don’t know which part of the video was my favorite; the mom (?) doing the photo-bomb or the appearance by the dog.
