Tuesday Stuff

I’m sure there are drinking games that some folks will come up with given that Our Lying Orange Lunatic Wannabe Dictator is going to address the nation tonight on our alleged border crisis, but I would suggest that you NOT take a shot every time the word “wall” is uttered (or “slats” or “fence”), or else you might end up in the emergency room – given that, Cenk and Ana of TYT tell us about Huckleberry Graham’s propagandizing on this subject (and as Cenk says, there’s NO WAY Huck will take $5 bil from our ridiculous defense budget for this PR boondoggle because that hurts Graham’s donors)…



…and Farron Cousins gives us some more background on our alleged “national emergency” and what the Gropenfuhrer can do as a result (terrific)…



..and I thought this was a pretty good NSFW discussion by Kyle K. on what a marginal tax rate truly is given what AOC is proposing (around 60-70 percent), which is actually pretty mainstream stuff (and GREAT point at the very end to compare this with what is pretty much the actual tax rate for our corporate overlords)…



…and I FINALLY finished Elvis’s great book over the holidays – kind of a stream-of-consciousness memoir, but I thought it was a fascinating insight into a truly full life in music.
