Friday Stuff


“Now it begins” (Steve Cohen needs to fix his shirt collar, though I admit that that’s a minor point)…


…and while what Bill Maher is talking about here may not be impeachable by itself, then, well, let’s just say that, at an absolute minimum, it shows damn poor judgment (NSFW I think)…


…and I thought this was some great dot-connecting by John Oliver, though (as I think I mentioned earlier), there really isn’t much that’s new about “whataboutism” (NSFW also)…



…and Farron Cousins of Ring of Fire tells us about an accidental re-tweet from the Pentagon about Generalissimo Trump resigning (along with Roy Moore and Al Franken).


And by the way, I don’t like what Franken did either (here), but here’s the thing; he got out front with an apology almost right away. And to me, that counts for something (along with this from Franken's accuser). Besides, let’s have the ethics investigation go forward – which Franken has encouraged – and if it turns out that he needs to resign (which would be awful since he’s spot-on for so many other issues, but there you are), then he can do it AFTER the investigation has completed.

And for anybody who sez “What a typical libtard! Double standard!,” then I’ll just say this; the person taking up space in An Oval Office is guilty of a hell of a lot worse than Franken has apologized for, and he plainly isn’t going to go anywhere unless he’s forced to. And I for one am fed up with this supposed unwritten Beltway courtier media “rule” that the Repugs can get away with whatever they want but, if a Dem is at least accused of the same or a comparable offense, then they MUST fall on their proverbial sword every time...



…and the interesting part of this report on the utterly lurid exploits of former Repug Sen. Bob Packwood (insert your own scatological reference here) is who led the calls for Packwood’s ouster, as Rachel Maddow tells us; would that “the sins of the flesh” had been Sen. Mr. Elaine Chao’s failing as opposed to his servile compliance to the whims of the “one percent”…



…and with that in mind, don’t think I’ve forgotten about yesterday’s atrocity – far from it (to do something about it, click here...more here)…


…and Ana, Michael Shure and Mark Thompson tell us about the Texas sheriff who went after the woman with the “F-Trump…” sign on her truck (and way to not back down, ma’am)…



…and I don’t know how many more tunes from 1967 I’m going to be able to get in, so I’d better not forget this one.

Thursday Stuff





You just knew they were going to find a way to do it, didn’t you? And yeah, I think this says it.

And they had help from this guy, as noted here...


...which makes me recall this video...



You’re a thoroughly disgusting weasel, Bri-Fi!

You voted today to take money out of my pocket.

We need that deduction for state and local taxes when we file every year.

You and your utterly-beyond-a-joke of a political party is apparently SO DESPERATE for ANY LEGISLATIVE ACCOMPLISHMENT WHATSOEVER that you can use to completely suck up to your one percent base for re-election campaign funds that you have no issue whatsoever with throwing the Doomsy household under the metaphorical bus.

I can assure you that I will do all that is legally within my power to see that you do not serve another term in the U.S. House.

...and that supposedly "Christian" man Paul Ryan is as big of a fucking liar as the Gropenfuhrer is (Chris Hayes talks with Robert Reich)...



…and Ana Kasparian, Michael Shure, and Mark Thompson weigh in here…



…and yeah, I think this great cover is an appropriate selection.

Wednesday Stuff


Hey, did you hear the one about how the KGB is going to provide “security” for our U.S. Embassy in Moscow? I have to admit, though, that the “Eddie Bauer Rock Climber” solution was pretty innovative (I’m tempted to read Ronald Kessler’s book now after this report).

And yeah, I think “previously unthinkable submission” pretty much sums it up also…



…and this is some truly outstanding journalism by Shep Smith of Fix Noise (earning the predictable outcry here…for the longest time in this country, I thought there was nothing worse than hatred of Ted Kennedy, but I now know that there is truly NOTHING more rabid and insane – and I think that’s an accurate way to put it – than hatred of ANYTHING having to do with the Clintons)…


…and kudos to Jeremy Scahill for this – he doesn’t let the Dems off the proverbial hook either, nor should he as far as I’m concerned (I'll get to John Oliver's video later, by the way...and Scahill is right that "whataboutism" definitely isn't new)…


..and Stephanie Ruhle tells us all about the Repugs’ latest tax scam, and now with ANOTHER OBAMACARE REPEAL added (with Steve Schmidt, Ben White and Kate Kelly – to stand up and call your senator or congressperson on Capitol Hill to protest, call 855-999-1663)…



…and did you know that there are 95.3 million people out of the workforce under the Gropenfuhrer, though I admit that that’s a bit deceptive (more telling to me is what is happening to tourism); I thought this was a pretty good analysis from David Pakman…



…and given the opening segment and this 60-year-old item, I had this tune in mind, so here it is.

Tuesday Stuff


I suppose I’m a little behind on the news cycle concerning the completely awful Judge Roy Moore, but I still thought this was a well done, NSFW segment by Hasan Piker of TYT (and as we know, as far as the Repugs are concerned, “tax cuts are their Jesus” as actor Bradley Whitford once said..and isn't THIS interesting)…


…and I also thought this was interesting from Rachel Maddow, given that, apparently, what was once referred to as the “party of Lincoln” is still setting up an organization to support this craven lunatic (Moore I mean, as opposed to Generalissimo Trump)…



…and Chris Hayes speaks with reporter Julia Ioffe of The Atlantic about Uday Trump’s conniving with Wikileaks – the question at this point is no longer whether or not Junior lied and collaborated with a foreign power to influence last year’s election, but how long his prison sentence should be…



…and I also thought these were some cautionary words about the most recent election from Michael Moore and Bill Maher (and Tweety too…I think Maher was going to lead into a point about winning back college-age voters, which I would imagine is a good point even though I don’t have data on that)…


…and yeah, I wonder if, one day, that supposedly God-fearing man Paul Ryan, Mr.-Puppy-Dog-Eyes-With-The-Shiv, is going to tell one too many lies and turn into a pillar of salt…


…and I ask you, when was the last time you saw a music video with go carts (or mini-tractors)? And I like the tune too (a little spooked by the guy around the camp fire at the end, though).

Monday Stuff


(Once more, to help out Doug Jones, click here.)

I know I have to keep reminding myself that we live in “Kardashian America,” where name recognition and physical attributes are often all that matter as opposed to, y’know, actually being good at something; I kept reminding myself of that while I wondered exactly why anyone would take Tomi Lahren seriously (NSFW - don't agree that prayers do nothing, but we need to do everything we can first - didn't know about the Ana Kasparian thing; not surprising…and again, I believe that the wingnuts are entitled to their entirely wrong-headed opinions; unlike them, I'll never say that opposing points of view should be silenced)...



…and it looks like the Filipinos hate #45 as much as we do (no idea if any of these images aired on our corporate media, but my guess is that they didn’t – must maintain the voice of kleptocracy at all times I know)…


…and count these as more voices in favor of medical pot…


…and if you want to change things for the better, I give you three words: run for something (I think I aired this before, and I may do it again)…


…and it also looks like the Gropenfuhrer nominated (and the Repugs in Congress confirmed on a party-line vote) Brett Talley, who, aside from being a typical Trumpster zealot, has apparently never even tried a case and has been rated as unqualified for the job…as I said earlier, welcome to Kardashian America (where all you need to be is an ass?? Sorry if that's too harsh)…



…and like it or not, here comes another installment of “This Day In Doomsy History,” and this time it’s a musical selection from 11/13/07…yeah, we know about our Treasonous Tiny Handed Dictatorial Egomaniac’s “bromance” with our former ol’ buddy Vlad Putin, but let’s not forget the two other world leaders from an earlier time who fit that category too (smile).
