I don’t think Dem U.S. House Rep Tim Ryan has any business running for president, but I applaud him for raising hell in this video on behalf of the Lordstown, Ohio GM workers who will, in all likelihood unfortunately, lose their jobs, as Brian Tyler Cohen tells us (as always, the issue is wages, and as always, the answer for that is strong unions)…
…and I respect Alyssa Milano, but I think she’s wrong to buy into this stupid framing about choosing between Trump and choosing policy alternatives – we need to choose both (Kyle is absolutely right, but I’m not sure that Bernie is the answer; Kyle is dumping on Elizabeth Warren for her defense funding vote – that’s fair, though I think you need to make a judgment based on the totality of someone’s representation versus one single instance, and on that count I think Warren comes out ahead of Bernie)…
…and I think this is a profile in courage, you might say; Andy McKean, the longest serving Republican in the Iowa state legislature, is changing parties from Republican to Democratic because he’s fed up with the Gropenfuhrer – he’ll probably be “rewarded” for this by getting turned out of office in the next election since his district went so heavy for Adolf Twitler last election…he retired once before and my guess is that he’s just fed up with everything, and I can’t blame him, but he’s trying to do a good deed on his way out, so kudos to him…
…and hey, U.S. Senate Dems - how the hell are we supposed to take over “the world’s greatest deliberative body” next year when, apparently, NOBODY WANTS TO RUN??!!, as Farron Cousins tells us (maybe it would be helpful if we didn't have about 6 million party members, as well as Bernie, running for president)…
…and Robert Reich is back for a reminder that Medicare for All is the way to go to insure more people, provide better health care outcomes and save money – not sure what else there is to think about here, people…
...and speaking of health care, this is National Nurse Appreciation Week - here is a tune for the occasion.
