Kudos to these folks marching from Charlottesville to Washington, D.C. (here)…

...and K.O. tells us about threats from Roger Stone and Secretaries Tillerson/Mattis basically disowning Generalissimo Trump…
…and as I watched this clip of VP Mike Pence talking about the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina from 2005, I have to admit that I went along with him until he got to that ridiculous statement at the end about “a catastrophe of debt for our children and grandchildren”…of course, not a word about those still-ridiculous tax cuts and our bloated defense budget – naaah, let’s just kick those grifting “poors” one more time, huh? And typically disgusting for Pence to use the Bible as a defense, of course…

…and hey, all of you “sanctuary cities” idiots like Sen. Pat Toomey, pay attention to this story in Texas about one of the bills you supported that was just blocked by a federal judge (and once more, to help those suffering from the effects of Harvey, please click here)…
…and Cenk and Ana tells us about Georgia state rep Jason Spencer who threatened a former legislator who wants to remove Confederate statues (LOVE the responses from LaDawn Jones too)…
…and I’ll admit that this may not be as big of a deal here “across the pond” as in the U.K. (well, maybe it is for the more celebrity-conscious of us), but Princess Diana died in that horrific auto crash 20 years ago today (here) – much to admire about her as far as I’m concerned, including supporting the treaty to ban land mines among her myriad charitable efforts (a treaty which, to my knowledge, we’ve never supported…her legacy lives on with William and Harry and the grandkids too of course)…still recall how mangled that Mercedes Benz looked after the tunnel crash and wondered how anyone could have survived, though bodyguard Trevor Rees-Jones did somehow fortunately – later on we found out basically that driver Henri Paul had taken enough medication to stock a pharmacy shelf or two…if you ever find yourself in London, I would encourage a trip to Harrod’s, if for no other reason than to see the memorial to her and Dodi Fayed in the basement…when I think of Diana, though, this 1967 tune comes to mind, for better or worse...not meant as a criticism.
