David Pakman tells us about Generalissimo Trump declassifying materials related to the investigation of Special Counsel Robert Mueller (but of course, Sean Inanity says it’s OK – more here and here).
(After Trump is finally gone and – if there’s any justice whatsoever – incarcerated, which can’t come soon enough of course, there are going to be SO MANY rules passed about what a president can and can no longer do based on prior understandings that Trump has completely trashed…and declassifying intel like this is one of them…that the next person who gets this job may be completely hamstrung)…
…and for anyone who thinks there isn’t a human cost to be paid for all of the political stupidity in this country, I give you this (kudos to Chris Hayes for keeping stories like this from falling under the proverbial radar)…
…and speaking of pointless deaths, Cenk and Ana of TYT tell us about the shooting at the Rite Aid distribution center in Aberdeen, MD (I realize this goes against the grain on how these stories typically go; namely, that a handgun was involved as opposed to an assault rifle, and the shooter was a woman who died of a self-inflicted wound, but I don’t think it is less important for us to pay attention…have to admit that I didn’t know about the shooting in PA…hard to keep track of them all, sadly)…
…and while we’re on the subject of guns, I should let you know that, these parts, Steve Santarsiero is running for the PA state senate (more here)…
…and returning to the Brett Kavanaugh stuff (could this be more of a train wreck, I wonder?), Farron Cousins tells us of the wingnut conspiracy theories to try and smear Dr. Ford and her charges against Kavanaugh – and as far as why it apparently has to be Kavanaugh, it’s all about falling in line, and Morrison of course…and I wouldn’t want this Ed Whelan guy to represent me in court if I were contesting so much as a traffic ticket (and yep, when it comes to legitimizing talking points from the right-wing fever swamps, Kathleen Parker is ON IT, PEOPLE!)…
…and while we’re on the subject of anything related to the Gropenfuhrer, this CBC review tells us about Michael Moore’s new film, Fahrenheit 11/9 (don’t know if the review noted the similarity in the title of Moore’s other Bushco-era pic)…
…and I don’t think I’ve included a clip from James Corden before, so I’ll let him join the party now (yeah, the Stormy Daniels stuff just about turned my stomach – what a horrible thing to do to a video game character – but as the saying goes, I report, you decide…and “The Uranus Examiner” with the “finger” headline…way too damn funny)…
…and a hat tip goes out to Eric Schuman of WXPN for pointing out that today is the 40th anniversary of the release of Love Bites by The Buzzcocks, featuring this tune.
