Friday Stuff

"A presidency-ending development" - we can only hope at this point...



"...if you're seeking immunity, you're probably guilty of something..." - gee, ya' think (with Chris Hayes talks to Jeff Merkley about "Trumpster" Michael Flynn rolling over)...an update is here...



...and this tells us about Generalissimo Trump and the other members of his party trying to overturn "Obamacare" - "Democrat" support, huh? F-you, you big orange turd...

…and Sen. Elizabeth Warren talks about the Repugs and their typically wretched attacks on women’s health care, Title X in particular (more here)...



…and I thought this was a pretty good summation from Seth Meyers on the “Gropenfuhrer” and that toady meat sack Devin Nunes and the destruction of the U.S. Russia/Trump investigation (I think the "underwear" thing was tied to yesterday's Mike Capuano clip on this issue)…



…and alluding to the Meyers clip, this tells us how much congressional Repugs got paid to sell our browsing history, including "No Corporate Tax" Pat Toomey…

…and I’m sure this constitutes a circular firing squad on our part, something I typically don’t want to encourage, but I really have to give Sam Seder credit for giving Jimmy Dore the treatment he deserves for Dore’s bashing of Keith Ellison, though I probably would have taken it further than that – as far as I’m concerned, Dore is on his way to becoming the lefty equivalent of Alex Jones…what a clown (and yep, NSFW)…



…and today marks what would have been the 90th birthday of legendary labor leader Cesar Chavez, who, along with Dolores Huerta, was probably more responsible than anyone else for the founding of the United Farm Workers Union (here); this is a song about the tragedy that, arguably, led to the activism that formed the union.

Thursday Stuff

Rachel Maddow tells us how blowing up the House investigation into Russia and Generalissimo Trump continues to serve the global ends of our ol’ buddy Vlad Putin…



…and kudos to Adam McElhaney for this (as well as Dem Rep. Mike Capuano)…



…and I give you the latest installment of “This Day In Doomsy History” (more or less) from 3/28/12; this clip has to do with the Verizon broadband spectrum "deal" that was bad at the time (here) - some history to keep in mind considering that Congress just got rid of our internet privacy, as noted in the prior Capuano clip and here - the bill awaits signoff from President Tiny-Handed Egomaniac...



…and with all due respect to Sen. Blumenthal, I’m sure the Repugs in the U.S. Senate have been told to STFU on the dark money funders who want to see Neil “Liberals Are Addicted To The Courtroom” Gorsuch (here) appointed to the High Court of Hangin’ Judge JR…

Update 4/3/17: More sordid goings-on with Gorsuch here...

…and I give K.O. credit for keeping up these reports on “Donald Drumpf,” though I have to admit that they’re getting more depressing every day – as I asked once before, will it take this lunatic lobbing an ICBM or two into the Middle East before we FINALLY do something?...



…and I don’t think keeping a secret, especially about this, will be helpful whatsoever.

Wednesday Stuff

By the way, when I refer to him as Generalissimo Trump, I’m not kidding…



…and I wonder if the "Gropenfuhrer" would actually pay attention to climate change if we tried to turn the whole thing into a “reality” TV show produced by President Tiny-Handed Egomaniac – naaah…

…and here is Bill Maher’s “New Rule” for Trump voters (NSFW)...



...and K.O. is out with #51 (NSFW – the fact that 18 states in this country are presently trying to criminalize protest truly IS scary)...



…and in light of the latest dustup between Bill Orally and Dem U.S. House Rep Maxine Waters (started by the former of course), I thought Cenk here in particular did a good job of tracing the fevered, idiotic ranting of Billo, Alex Jones and other media clowns to their idiot followers (and I have a feeling that, if JB were still alive, he’d be waiting in the Fix Noise parking lot for the instigator of this nonsense, with evil intent…papa don’t take no mess)…



…and speaking of music, happy 50th birthday to John Popper of Blues Traveler (of Princeton, NJ - I have a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore).

Tuesday Stuff

(And by the way, concerning this graphic, this guy voted yes, for all you PA-08 folk - and don't believe the "splash page" BS.)

I hope all of you who did anything whatsoever to help get Generalissimo Trump elected continue to be proud of yourselves…

…and Kyle K. tells us that civilian deaths from U.S. airstrikes are on the rise under Number 45 (not saying Obama was totally innocent either, but let’s be straight, OK? And NSFW of course)…



…and as much as I respect Kyle K., I think he’s dead wrong to say the Dems shouldn’t be holding Fergus Laing’s feet to the metaphorical fire on Russia – of course, thanks to that gutless lackey Devin Nunes, I’m sure there will be NO House oversight on all of this anyway…



…and K.O. brings up the “T” word, though it is pretty much widely echoed by now…



…and yes, we indeed have no choice but to keep fighting (here and here)…

…and here’s a cool tune to hear while we rearrange the deck chairs as the iceberg approaches.

Monday Stuff

How many ways is Neil Gorsuch a terrible Supreme Court nominee? Well…

…and Lawrence O’Donnell talks with Dem U.S. House Rep Jim Himes about the open hearing on Russia that was cancelled by Repug Chairman Devin Nunes, which really isn’t surprising given Nunes’s proclivity to help Generalissimo Trump instead of the constituents that Nunes allegedly represents, to say nothing of the rest of the country…



…and Samantha Bee gives us more grim details here on the budget from “Donald Drumpf” as only she can (all those downward numbers sound like the stock ticker - NSFW)…



…and I’ll plan to get to at least one more clip from Bill Maher later, but for now I think this is good stuff from Dr. Timothy Snyder…



…and don’t look now, but “Donald Drumpf” and his pals want to sell our browsing history to the highest bidder – yet another casualty of last year’s utterly wretched election results (I think that’s a hilarious statistic about the Repugs and porn…commendable outrage by Thom, by the way)…



…and happy belated 75th birthday to Aretha Franklin.
