Friday Stuff

I thought this was a great commentary from Lawrence O’Donnell in response to a certain lying orange treasonous lunatic and his remark about “socialism” at the State of the Union the other night (kudos for remembering Frances Perkins, and I think the tie-in to the NFL is absolutely brilliant…and yes, I’d say the same thing if Lawrence had mentioned the Eagles)…



…and Francis Maxwell tells us of still more mass shootings in this country (oh, but let the wingnuts scream over a shaving cream ad instead...I think I said something once before about Gillette's message, which to me is spot-on)…



…and returning to the Super Bowl, Kyle tells us about a rejected medical marijuana ad (legalization for recreational use is still a slippery slope as far as I’m concerned, but medical pot and decriminalization should be the law of the land, and the Dems would run on that if they had any brains, one of the few issues to me where Bill Maher is 100 percent correct IMHO…NSFW)…



…and Michelle Lujan Grisham, Dem guv of New Mexico, is my new hero for this, telling the Gropenfuhrer what he can do with his wall…Cenk, Ana and Emma Vigeland explain…



…and I’m sure this clip shows why AOC scares the hell out of the wingnuts, and probably a few Dems too – good! (and we can thank this for the scenarios she described to the panel)…



…and I know I just had a Beatles tune here recently, but here’s another one, which I believe was their first Number 1 hit in this country, to commemorate the 55th anniversary of their landing in NYC to perform on the Ed Sullivan Show, which was yesterday – I crave your sympathy and understanding for another Boomer indulgence here.

Tuesday Stuff

Ali Velshi, sitting in for Rachel Maddow, tells us here about prosecutors in the SDNY deciding to subpoena the records of the Gropenfuhrer’s inauguration – about damn time…



…and yeah, I don’t see how Ralph Northam ends up lasting as VA governor (at least, not as a Dem), for whatever my opinion is worth on this…the thing that gets me about this is that Breitbart actually got a “get” here – the proverbial stopped clock that is right no more than twice a day – and apparently this whole thing was wingnut payback against Northam for the governor’s entirely accurate IMHO comments about third-trimester abortions (here...sorry to provide click bait to a wingnut site, but I can't link to the WaPo any more)…that doesn’t happen unless something has gone terribly, horribly wrong with the pregnancy, which of course makes conservatives lose what’s left of their minds to contemplate real-world impact on their beliefs…



…and Cenk and Ana tell us about that nitwit Tomi Lahren saying that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez apparently hasn’t accomplished much, or something…



…and yeah, there goes that AOC not accomplishing much again according to Lahren – just standing up to Big Pharma, that’s all, with Ro Khanna…



…and Amadou Diallo was shot to death 20 years ago yesterday (the cops used to love Bruce, but not so much after this; c’est dommage, even though the song really isn’t anti-police – and by the way, there were a few mass shootings last week that barely registered on the radar of our corporate media as noted here)……



...and I just felt like hearing something a little upbeat and positive, so here it is.
