Thursday Stuff



Farron Cousins reminds us that, as far as deficit “hawks” are concerned, the red ink only matters when Democrats are in charge, because of course their ultimate goal is unending tax cuts for the 1 percent, war without end and gutting the social safety net…



…which is the perfect transition to this item about Bri-Fi in PA-01 (and by the way, the latest Repug garbage in Bucks County, where political campaigns are supposed to be “honorable” according to that conservative mouthpiece masquerading as an almost-daily newspaper, is that you can’t trust Scott Wallace around kids – I didn’t think this gang would EVER go any lower than questioning former rep Patrick Murphy’s military service or one-time candidate Ginny Schrader’s support for Israel given her Jewish husband, but it shows how wrong you can be I guess – I had more to say about this here)…



…and all Congressional Repugs are bad as far as I’m concerned, but some have endorsed our Treasonous, Tiny-Handed Orange Wannabe Dictator more than others, and Lou Barletta is “all in,” you might say – to help Bob Casey, click here



…and I’ve devoted space here defending Nancy Pelosi’s admittedly fine record of legislative accomplishment when she was House Speaker, but she just stuck a pin in that metaphorical balloon by totally caving on the question of impeaching the Gropenfuhrer with her utterly lame answer to that question, as Cenk and Ana tell us (referencing the 1999 clip of Huckleberry Graham in high dudgeon over Number 42 – and I couldn’t tell you anything about the Joe Crowley story...also, I’m not 100 percent certain of this, but I believe Lawrence O’Donnell was the one who unearthed the Graham clip – if so, kudos to him)…



…and wow, it looks like Walking Clothing Allowance (as Charlie Pierce calls her) sure is outraged about the admittedly tragic murder of Mollie Tibbetts, and of course it's all the fault of dastardly libs like yours truly (oh, and about the suspect being “illegal,” I give you this - more Tomi Lahren hilarity is here)…



...and here's another summer selection, as I work my way down the list on the way to Labor Day (trying not to think about it...)
