Monday Stuff (updates)


Gee, it looks like this is yet another time when we’re not supposed to politicize gun violence (snark of course – the table appearing in the middle of this report in the video listing the shootings is, as far as I’m concerned, a monument to our collective failure and cowardice when it comes to addressing this issue for real…more here and here…on a side note, like millions of others we’ve been to Las Vegas – Mandalay Bay is a great place, and we once ate at Red Square, which was great as well; it’s somewhere where, like just about everywhere else in this country, people shouldn’t have to fear for their lives when they’re just trying to relax).

(And by the way, remember this, Nevadan voters who damn well should be going to the polls next year.)...



Update 1: Let’s see (based on this):
  • Utterly brainless and disprovable propaganda aimed at “others”? Check.
  • Enticement to violence (i.e., “clenched fist of truth”)? Check.
  • Promise of sex with attractive woman conflated with worship of “external death penis”? Check.
    • No wonder mass shootings continue to occur. The Repugs and their pals know how to push all of the metaphorical buttons of a typical voter of their base (of course, as opposed to actually doing something constructive on this horrific issue).

    Update 2: This puts me in a mind to view this clip (from this movie/book), particularly at the very end.

    Update 3: 58 now - dear God (more here)...

    Update 4: Uh, yep...

    Update 5: President Dotard, clueless as always (heckuva job, all you clowns who did anything whatsoever to help him get elected last year)...

    Update 6: And given the source of this Trump-credentialed bunch, could we have expected any different (here)?

    …and shifting gears a bit, as it were, David Pakman talks with Steven Clifford on CEO pay (definitely the story of what’s going on in corporate America as far as I’m concerned, particularly in the last minute)…



    …and Kyle K. tells us about U.S. bombing civilians in Syria - and apparently we're actually arming both sides...terrific (NSFW)...



    …and the utter garbage depicted in this campaign ad by Repug gubernatorial candidate in Virginia Ed Gillespie is, of course, right out of Generalissimo Trump’s playbook, and I’m sure we can expect this next year as both PA guv Tom Wolf and U.S. Senator Bob Casey run for re-election…


    …and I know there are so many outrages going on with the Gropenfuhrer that it’s hard to keep track of them all, but we can't lose sight of this one – namely, the potential for right-wing wackadoodle Jeff Mateer to be appointed as a federal judge – for life, people…


    …and I’ll continue to look forward to that fine day when, God willing, I’ll no longer feel obligated to put up this video.
