Saturday Stuff


Yeah, cupcake, we hope you and your family of criminals manages to “find something new” after November 3rd of this year (an orange jumpsuit would be a good look as far as I’m concerned...and yeah, this sure fits the profile, doesn't it?)…



…and Kyle tells us how the wingnuts are trying to load up the next round of relief funding for those in our current crisis with more giveaways for the “pay no price, bear no burden” bunch…the Dems have some issues overall, but I can’t think of a word for the idiocy of someone who still believes that both of our major political parties are the same at this point…and yeah, I think the Naomi Klein parallel fits…



…and with #midnightmoscowmitch in mind (the guy who’s concocting the ruinous legislation Kyle just talked about, and who is sitting on the HEROES Act), I give you this clip of Dem U.S. Senate candidate Amy McGrath speaking with MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace in response to the Russians-putting-bounties-on-our-troops story which, shockingly, seems to be fading from the news cycle (even in our current political/media/industrial complex insider hellscape, there is still some stuff that should be beyond the pale, and this fits…to help McGrath, click here)…



…and this Meidas Touch video tells us how Our Orange Pustule and his sycophants are trying to force kids back to school, regardless of how much COVID-19 is currently raging…



…and Mika, Willie Geist and the “Morning Joe” crew talk about how Governor Brian Kemp of GA is fighting with Atlanta mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms over masks (another single-day record for coronavirus cases, with particularly bad stuff going on in Florida...and yeah, looks like our former ol' buddy Vlad Putin is trying to steal research into a COVID-19 vaccine; not surprising to hear crickets from Our Treasonous, Tiny-Handed Head of State in response)…



…and RIP civil rights icon and Dem U.S. Congressman John Lewis, here speaking with Gayle King of CBS This Morning from last month about the protests in response to the death of George Floyd – under normal circumstances, this video would absolutely appear first in this post (more here)…



…and I suppose it’s cold comfort to know that Generalissimo Trump isn’t Jair Bolsonaro of Brazil, though as far as I’m concerned, it’s hard to tell who is worse, and it’s no coincidence at all that our two countries have the worst response to COVID-19 while the rest of the world is coming to grips with the pandemic…



…and believe me when I tell you that I need a tune that represents some summer escapism, and I hope this works for you also.
