Friday Stuff


I know I’m a day or two behind on this, but I can only get to so many Trumpian outrages at a time; Chris Hayes speaks with journalist Jacob Soboroff about the 545 kids we separated from their parents at the border, with the Trump gang now claiming that they can’t track down the parents (typical – more here)...



...and K.O. (who used to hold down the 8 PM EST time slot on MSNBC now occupied by Hayes of course) brings us the latest, including Generalissimo Trump’s dustup with Lesley Stahl of “60 Minutes” and Rudy 9iu11ani’s run-in with Sacha Baron Cohen and his female accomplice (Keith needs to work on this Philly-ese, I must say – good job to give Will Bunch a nod along with Daniel Dale of CNN)...



...and when it comes to our response to the pandemic (which K.O. also noted in the prior clip), Kyle tells us that the NYT reported that the Trump gang told the Hoover Institution in February how bad COVID would be (and good job by Kyle to keep attention on the 650 million mask story that the P.O. was going to send out in March that Trump scuttled...mildly NSFW/H)...



...and Ana and Wosny Lambre of TYT tell us that Susan Collins in Maine, running for another term in the U.S. Senate, has embraced two of these QAnon life forms who are running for office in her state, because of course she has; to support Collins’s Dem challenger Sara Gideon, click here...



...and David Doel tells us here about Pope Francis signaling a sea change in the Catholic Church in the matter of same-sex civil unions...



...and I thought this was a nice clip of Joe Biden highlights from last night’s final presidential debate; again, as far as I’m concerned, the sheer, unmitigated gall of Mango Mussolini to think he is in any way entitled to another term given his colossal, catastrophic bungling of the COVID-19 pandemic, let along the numerous other screwups, makes me want to puke...



...and I know this is the second ad on consecutive days featuring Sam Elliott for Joe Biden, but it’s another good one, so here it is (yes, I know what The Lincoln Project is all about, but I’ll ask yet again...why are these people so good at using video to promote candidates and the Dems overall, with notable exceptions, are so lousy at using videos to communicate their core convictions to voters??!! To be fair, though, the videos from the Biden campaign have been particularly good)...



...and believe it or not, last Tuesday marked what would have been the 70th birthday of Tom Petty.
