Monday Stuff

So Mike Pompeo thinks it’s a “Washington piece of silliness” for a sitting U.S. president to solicit campaign dirt from foreign entities; uh, no – actually, it’s a felony...but I guess what else can we expect from a Koch Industries-engineered fraud like Pompeo – Brian Tyler Cohen tells us more…



…and Farron Cousins tells us that the Gropenfuhrer’s latest hissy fit has to do with firing his pollsters since, as of now, his re-election prospects look bad, but after 2016, I assume absolutely NOTHING – still, though, this is typical egomaniacal behavior…



…and move along, nothing to see here – just purple tap water; just shut up and keep watching Fox News…U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A! (NSFW…by the way, there’s a reason why I haven’t featured much from Kyle lately, and that’s because I’m tired of hearing his completely “in the tank” commentary for Bernie and Tulsi Gabbard, of all people – he’s definitely right about infrastructure, but trying to find a way to drag Elizabeth Warren into this somehow is REALLY a stretch)...



…and Pete Williams of MSNBC reports on the Supremes upholding VA’s fight against gerrymandering (color me shocked…sounds like the ruling, though, had to do with the fact that one-half of the VA “lege” by itself couldn’t sue – not sure the High Court of Hangin’ Judge JR and “Schlitz” Kavanaugh would have ruled this way if the whole legislature had sued in response to the common-sense redraw of the districts)…



…and I now give you the latest installment of “This Day In Doomsy History” (more or less) from 6/19/09, about the Obama Administration triggering all of the white crazies out there who ended up being completely and utterly played by “Adolf Twitler” – I originally put this up as somewhat of a commemoration of the murder of Denver radio talk show host Alan Berg, which is coming up on its 35th anniversary, believe it or not…Amy Goodman of Democracy Now! speaks with journalist Jim Ridgeway…



…and speaking of race, I can’t believe it’s actually been 25 years since this fiasco (and I’m a little uncomfortable with the reporter and anchor here treating the slow-motion chase as simply some kind of a media curiosity and smiling over it…yeah, I guess it was to a degree, but it sprung from a CAPITAL MURDER case in which Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman were SLAUGHTERED...and what could go wrong here, I wonder?)…



…and John I., Cenk and Ashlee Marie Preston bring us the story of a gun getting pulled on a family whose 4-year-old little girl apparently made off with a Barbie, believe it or not; yes, this is thoroughly unacceptable behavior, but the answer isn’t to go back to our respective corners…having a hard-ass conversation between the cops and folks like this is hard to imagine, but that’s what we need at a bare minimum, but good luck with that happening with Our Treasonous, Tiny-Handed Orange Dictator (if charges can be brought against these cops, then that needs to happen)…



…and apparently he’s going to be at The Locks at Sona in these parts on Wednesday; I’m sure it will be a good show.
