Friday Stuff

Chris Hayes tells us all about the humanitarian disaster going on in Syria, again (and yeah, Stephen Miller, as someone from your party once said previously in another context, you "built this"...and in addition to the "party of Lincoln," a pox on the Democratic "leadership" for their silence also in response)...



…and Farron Cousins tells us that the Gropenfuhrer has put “Onward Christian Soldiers” Mike Pence in charge of the response to the Coronavirus, who of course is perfect for this regime of grifters and lowlifes since he completely and utterly denies science also (interesting speculation about an attempt to throw Pence under the proverbial bus and drop him from the ticket)...



…and in a related story, Thom Hartmann speaks with Dem U.S. House Rep Mark Pocan of Wisconsin on Mango Mussolini and his minions tripping all over themselves in their attempts to do their jobs on this potential public health calamity (though of course, their notion of "doing their jobs" is markedly different from what I'm sure a reasonably sane person would consider an acceptable standard)...



…and this clip from Brian Tyler Cohen about AOC speaking up for Dems and religion (and how overdue is THAT, I ask myself? Maybe about 30 years??!!) also includes Pence typically obfuscating when George Stephanopoulos asks him a yes or no question a three-year-old could probably answer…



…and sticking with the Trump gang, Robert Reich reminds us that we shouldn’t lose sight of what longtime Repug fixer and AG Bill Barr is doing in support of Generalissimo Trump and his pals…



…and David Doel tells us about suspended ABC journalist David Wright, who apparently committed the unpardonable sin of speaking honestly about his profession – instead of being punished, Wright should be promoted (and for more on the garbage life forms behind Project Veritas, I give you this)…



…and I realize I haven’t put up a video by Seth Meyers for a little while partly because I find it harder to find humor in this stuff, but kudos to him for turning this dross into comedy gold (the subject is our corporate media not quite knowing what to say or do about Bernie Sanders – and as many of us know by now, Chris Matthews apologized for his most recent idiocy...I have a feeling Biden will take South Carolina, but that will end up as an outlier - all Bernie has to do is make a respectable second-place showing, and I think that's totally within reach)…



…and I was intrigued by this story of a proposed national women’s strike in Mexico on March 9th in order to send a clear message of condemnation against gender-based violence – in response (and I know I’ve put up this tune before), I give you Todd from 2016 performing a song about another women’s protest of a fashion (with the former resident from Upper Darby, PA bringing music to people who might not otherwise have access to it in South Bend…hmmm, isn’t there a notable politician from that area too?).

I firmly believe Rundgren will be in the Rock N’ Roll Hall of Fame one day, which is long overdue, and that for sure will be an occasion for celebration.
