Tuesday Stuff


This story from CBS News has to do with the conflicts some teachers are facing with the possibility of returning to the classroom with their students (yeah, FLA isn’t safe for the Repugs to hold their in-person hate fest, but yeah, the kids can get sent back to school instead…uh huh…and I don’t have the medical chops to argue with Dr. Raszka, but call me a skeptic; I would rather deal with certainties than probabilities when it comes to our kids…more here)…



…and speaking of medical matters, this Now This video is a reminder from Stage 4 cancer survivor Laura Packard that the “party of Lincoln” has been trying to gut the ACA for years, and she plainly points out that “Obamacare” saved her life…also, she mentions who is responsible for attacking it, and most of them are on the list you can access from here)…



…and keeping with this theme, I now give you the latest installment of “This Day In Doomsy History” (more or less) from 7/30/10…often I’m behind in these citations, but I wanted to get a little “in front” this time to point out that this Thursday marks the 55th anniversary of signing Medicare into law (here), with a reminder of which political party is responsible, and it sure as hell isn’t the “Trump Party” (here)…



…and given Willard Mitt’s latest attack on entitlements that, as working people, we’ve paid into, including some of us for most of our lives, I think the question Thom Hartmann poses here is spot-on…



…and the only thing Mango Mussolini knows how to do, aside from screwing up, is to bring down the proverbial hammer (echoing what Thom Hartmann just said), but surprise! It isn’t polling as well as Our Orange Pestilence had hoped, as Farron Cousins tells us (briefly NSFW/H at very end)…



...and if there's such a thing as a tongue-in-cheek summer selection, I guess this would be it.
