Friday Stuff


Kudos to Philly Mayor Jim Kenney for this; I can only imagine what kind of a reprisal will be forthcoming from our Tiny Handed Treasonous Orange Dictator, but sometimes you just have to stand up and say enough…



…and as if to illustrate Kenney’s point, I give you this clip about the response of “Dear Leader” to the words of the father of one of the UCLA basketball players who were detained in China (and this to me is surprising in no way whatsoever)…


…and Rachel Maddow tells us more about what Generalissimo Trump has in common with Tricky Dick (with historian Michael Beschloss)…



…and Carlos Maza tells us how Sean Inanity has gone into full-on Alex Jones mode; just waiting for the Fix Noise personality to start selling “male enhancement” supplements, or something (important to see what kind of nutsiness is springing forth from the other side from time to time)…


…and yeah, the real takeaway from this clip (with Cenk telling us about some red-state Dem electoral vistories) is that we truly can win anywhere, people!...


…and here is a Dem trying to do just that, and that would be Doug Jones, running for the U.S. Senate from Alabama against the aforementioned Roy (Keep Him Away From the Gadsden Mall) Moore (to help, click here)…



…and I failed to note the passing earlier this week of Della Reese, who made her name as a jazz “torch” singer before going onto TV fame…



…and dear God, is it actually that time of year again?

Happy Thanksgiving 2017

I got a kick out of this (courtesy of Pixdaus and Daily Kos)...

...and here's another holiday fave, with an intro by Seth MacFarlane as Stewie Griffin (and again, the captions make this hilarious as far as I'm concerned)...



...and here's more holiday fun...



...and I kind of liked this also (hat tip for this to Daily Kos)...



...and here's a Thanksgiving message for those wonderful folks at the TSA.




Update 1: And here is another late addition.



Update 2: Might as well add this too.



Update 3: Imagine all the people that can be fed for $35 grand (here, getting serious for a minute).

Update 4: And since I add to this list every year, I might as well include this too (hasta la vista, baby!).



…and I guess this is an appropriate tune for the day.

Wednesday Stuff


Gosh, what festive holiday decorating ideas from Ivanka Trump (and if you think I’m being serious, then no giblets for you tomorrow)…


…and Thom Hartmann and Greg Palast tell us the gory details of the crack in the Keystone XL pipeline (more here…and why am I not surprised that Chuck and Davey Koch are involved with this?)…



…and Cenk of TYT tells us about National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster calling the Gropenfuhrer names behind his back (and yeah, it looks like the trail of ooze here indeed emanates from Sheldon Adelson all right…“no three-dimensional chess” going on with Trump – “barely two-dimensional checkers”…nice!)…



…and Seth Meyers weighs in on the latest against Roy Moore, Charlie Rose, and others…



…and given today’s anniversary, I thought these were some eternal words from our 35th president…



…and RIP David Cassidy…and yeah, I know we’re talking about big-time “bubble gum” music here (I’d forgotten what a hideous fashion statement sweater vests truly are).

Tuesday Stuff


Rachel Maddow tells us about something that Tricky Dick and Generalissimo Trump have in common, and that is abuse of our law enforcement and the Justice Department (typical for despots – I don’t know what the next segment was about)…



…and it looks like I have another video to add to the Netflix queue (and I think this is a timely related post)…


…and it’s time once more for another installment of “This Day In Doomsy History”; we’re only setting the wayback, as it were, to a year ago, 11/22/16 to be exact, in which white nationalist wingnut Richard Spencer waxed triumphant over the Gropenfuhrer’s ascendancy (timely given this story – kudos to that Maryland farmer, and I think it’s absolutely hilarious – typical, though – to blame John Oliver somehow (update is here), and this makes this subject topical also IMHO, to say nothing of this...if what happened to PR had happened on our mainland...)…



...and I had this tune in mind in response to this item.

Monday Stuff


Just say “oops” and get out, “Saint” Orrin – and oh yes, please regale us once more with your tales of how you lived in a shack with a label for a wall or something while you earned your law degree; you’re one of the most fossilized members of your utterly decrepit political party (and by the way, kudos to Claire McCaskill)…


..and here is your reminder of just how awful Roy Moore truly is (to help Doug Jones, click here – this, though, definitely isn’t good news about the man from Minnesota - I seem to recall an SNL skit he did once with the late Tom Davis that now seems eerily prescient)…


…and I know there are so many damn battles going on right now, but this may be one of the biggest (more here)…



…and Kyle K. tells us about 32 Justice Democrats (NSFW – and yeah, Kaniela Ing in particular sounds like a pretty smart guy to me also)…



…and a month ago today marked an anniversary that I forgot to note – nine days of hearings by the House Un-American Activities Committee began on October 20, 1947, which led to the creation of the so-called “Hollywood Blacklist”; I was reminded of this when Turner Classic Movies showed “Hollywood On Trial,” narrated by John Huston (and leave it to The Sainted Ronnie R to act like the utter stooge he truly was…there are a few good movies in particular about this, and one is “The Front,” with Woody Allen and Zero Mostel)…



…and RIP Malcolm Young of AC/DC.
