What follows is our corporate media glossing over the thoroughly indefensible (but totally typical) act of the Trumpsters to not defend the ACA in a court suit against the individual mandate (I mean, the ACA has been upheld by 2 Supreme Court rulings, but screw the rule of law as far as Generalissimo Trump is concerned) – more of a real-world perspective on this is here (And remember how Alan Grayson was once ridiculed over his “die quickly” remark? I would say that looks eerily prescient now)…
…and RIP Anthony Bourdain; I give him credit for exposing not just different types of food but other cultures also, to say nothing of sustainability and smart food choices (and people, if you feel like you need help, please find a way to get it – we all need to do that from time to time)…
...also, Lawrence O'Donnell tells us that the UN is condemning this country for putting kids in cages - as Atrios would say, we do so love our children (with Maria Teresa Kumar - GREAT point about having to pass comprehensive immigration reform - uh, Democrats? You DNC centrist Beltway LOSERS! Are you paying attention? Maybe you could actually BITCH OUT LOUD ABOUT THIS! Rock-a-bye baby...)...
…and as a bit of a follow-up item, Sam Seder and Michael Brooks present a security border patrol officer fronting for the Gropenfuhrer on Fix and Fiends - sure, like everything else, blame Obama for actually being a decent human being...
...also, Farron Cousins tells us about the woman who apparently said that talking to Trump was like talking to a toddler; I think that’s pretty insulting to toddlers, actually (the stuff on the teacher lockdown drill at the end was particularly powerful, by the way)...
…and I realize that there’s a lot of heavy stuff in this post, and here’s another similar item – Prince would have been 60 yesterday.
