Friday Stuff

Keep calling 877-650-0039, folks; the only way the “one percent” will pay their fair share is if they’re MADE to pay for it, dragged kicking and screaming into the cold light of day as it were…

Corporate America doesn't want to reduce their tax rate down to 20 percent. They want it down to zero. And that's a burden that will fall on the backs of the middle class. pic.twitter.com/x4oMUK3vYK

…and while we should do what we can to assist the folks out west victimized by the hellacious wildfires out west if we are able to, let’s not forget the following (also related to that wretched tax bill congressional Repugs are trying to pass over to our Tiny Handed Treasonous Orange Dictator)…

…and leave it Repug PA State House Rep Daryl Metcalfe to embarrass our beloved commonwealth once again, as noted here (more here – fourth bullet)…



…and in light of the Gropenfuhrer’s recent announcement on Jerusalem, I’ll bet you KNEW this was coming, right? (more here)…

…and I thought this was a pretty well done, NSFW analysis of the recent Franken/Roy Moore stuff by Hasan Piker (the one exception I can think of on the Repug side is the thoroughly bilious life form known as Trent Franks, who apparently realized that asking his staffers to serve as his baby mamas, or something, was going just a tad too far and has resigned, as noted here)…

…and playing off of the previous video a bit, Sam Bee reminds us of the shitty behavior women in public life have had to deal with from men in the media, among other professions (NSFW also)…

…and here is another seasonal selection…



…and since it’s December 8th, it’s time for this tune once more.

Thursday Stuff

Yeah, it looks like Not Your Father’s Republican Party is willing to help elect someone accused of sexual misconduct with underage girls for the U.S. Senate – indeed, as long as Roy Moore has that “magic R” after his name, all is apparently forgiven (to do something about it, click here...and yeah, I don't think the difference between Moore, Our Tiny Handed Treasonous Dictator and his playmates and the "D" team could be more obvious based on this...more to come I'm sure)…



…and there’s still time to protest this garbage GOP tax bill – keep jamming up the phone lines…877-650-0039…

…and I realize that we have to keep going after Citizens United (which is DEFINITELY related to the tax scam) even though it’s pushing the proverbial Rock of Sisyphus (you can Google it – thanks once more, High Court of Hangin’ Judge JR!), but do so we must (and kudos to Oregon Dem Sen. Jeff Merkley for reminding us)…

…and Lawrence O’Donnell tells us about the “deep state” private spies weighed by the Gropenfuhrer (and no, this isn’t a headline from The Onion, though it would be I’m sure if we were talking about any other preznit…oh and speaking of nuttiness from Number 45, more to come on this I’m sure as well)…



...and I feel obligated to bring you another seasonal selection, so here it is...



...and happy recent 85th birthday to the one and only Richard Penniman.

Tuesday Stuff

Oh, and let it be known for the record that, in addition to voting for that utterly disgusting and craven, ruinous tax bill, “Bri Fi” voted to send it to conference too of course (here...call 877-650-0039 to do something about it, and if you live in PA-08 and want to let Bri-Fi know personally, call 202-225-4276)…

The GOP's "tax" bill:

…and 1600 showing up to protest in Berks County, which went for Generalissimo Trump by 10 points, as Rachel Maddow notes? I call that a sign o’the times, all right…



…and yeah, this is some lame ass excuse to get rid of Sam Seder at MSNBC…

Update 12/6/17: Oh, and by the way, in light of the pic above, I think that lame ass MSNBC network ought to read this from one of their contributors (try spelling the name of our political party correctly for starters).

Update 12/7/17: They're still clowns, MSNBC I mean (here).

...and here is another holiday selection.

Monday Stuff

There’s still time to protest this disaster (more here)…

… and yes, what Bernie tells us here; of course, he’s calling out somebody with the attention span of a gnat on meth, as Repug strategist Rick Wilson once observed…

..and Jerry Greenfield of Ben and Jerry’s weighs in also (call 877-650-0039)…

We got Ben & Jerry's co-founder @yobencohen into a wolf/sheep costume. What else do we have to do to get you to call Congress to oppose the GOP tax plan? Here's their number: (877) 650-0039 pic.twitter.com/Louwgkw9kV

…oh, and let’s not forget the sickeningly servile role our Repug U.S. Senator played in trying to obtain a tax writeoff for the family of Betsy DeVos – Will Bunch explains better than I can here…makes me recall this clip…



...and for some reason, I had a heck of a time finding this...



…and Kyle K. weighs in on the Roy Moore/Jimmy Kimmel dustup (NSFW)…



..and turning to the seasonal stuff…no, it really doesn’t have to be that way (ie., that horrible tax bill).
