Thursday Stuff

Mike Papantonio and Farron Cousins tell us about yet another putrid Scott Pruitt scandal over our environment; yeah, it’s great that Pruitt is finally gone, but good luck hoping for a capable (or, at least, a non-utterly-compromised) replacement from the Generalissimo Trump gang…



…and yeah, before we get too pumped, we should know that Andrew Wheeler, Pruitt’s replacement, is terrible also of course, as John I. and Jayar Jackson of TYT tell us…



…and RIP Ed Schultz, who spoke here with Dem U.S. House Rep Dan Kildee on the Flint water crisis created by Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder – this interview was conducted in February 2016 under the Obama Administration; God only knows what’s going on, if anything, with the Trumpsters (we know RT is The Putin Network, but sometimes they actually come up with legitimate stories IMHO – I think Ed ended up being a bit of an RT pawn at the end, but I don’t think that should diminish what for the most part was his great reporting and editorializing…his voice will be missed)…



Update 7/6/18: Actually, I was looking for this clip earlier and couldn't find it - to me, this may be one of Schultz's finest moments...



…and I don’t think we should let this slip under the radar much either – yep, for the Repugs, it’s all about the messaging; of course, for the most part, Dems fall down on that to our great folly (and as noted here, if you see more garbage going on such as the firing of Rob Rogers of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, don’t be surprised if it turns out that it was somehow instigated by Bill Shine…yes, he’s a typical Fix Noise cretin who, at a minimum, turned a blind eye to the predatory garbage from Ailes and Billo, but I’m just saying that that’s not the end of the story)…



…and I didn’t think much at first about what Mark Sumner correctly points out here, mainly, that it looks bad for anybody to be having a junket outside of the U.S. on July 4th (unless it’s related to the military of course), but all the same, I thought the Repug politicians taking up space with our former ol’ buddy Vlad Putin deserve this tune in their honor (and yes, I’m being sarcastic...and I once had a reel-to-reel...good times).
