Wednesday Stuff
I realize it isn’t that difficult to trigger anyone on the “Fix and Fiends” crotch couch, and that lickspittle Brian Kilmeade obliges on cue by taking umbrage over a $15-an-hour federal minimum wage and other stuff from the Workers Party, as Kyle K. tells us (briefly NSFW/H...all kinds of reasons to despise Kilmeade, and one of them is that, in a recent clip from “The Majority Report,” he interviewed Repug U.S. House Rep Steve Scalise, and started with “Ever since you were shot by a Bernie Sanders supporter...” - there could potentially be some slight truth in that, but the Sanders campaign ended in ’16 and Scalise was shot in ’17, and Bernie Sanders was the FIRST PERSON to speak up and totally disavow any involvement the shooter had with his campaign, however slight it was, as well as offering prayers for Scalise’s recovery...)...
...and yeah, we all know what needs to happen on November 3rd and we all need to keep working on that, but here is a reminder of what’s at stake...
...and David Doel brings us a few clips of the recent debate between “Grim Reaper” Sen. Mr. Elaine Chao and Dem challenger Amy McGrath, and the last one is quite rightly the one that has garnered the most attention – hard to find the words to describe what an utter monster McConnell truly is...
...and Chris Hayes brings us four of the cretins behind the vote-scamming effort by the Gropenfuhrer to try and steal the upcoming election...
...and kudos to Don Winslow for another great clip, this one featuring our beloved commonwealth of PA (with an assist by The Boss)...
...and as far as I’m concerned, this is the video that matters above all others concerning the sham proceedings going on over Amy Coney Barrett right now in the U.S. Senate, and kudos to Dem U.S. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island for dragging the involvement of The Federalist Society and other right-wing groups into the cold light of day...
...and K.O. is back to tell us how Mango Mussolini is extoling the alleged virtues of Regeneron - and yeah, there is indeed always a scam, always a grift...
...and I now leave you for a few days with a more current video - I'll plan to get this thing going again early next week.

Tuesday Stuff
(I also posted here.)
As far as I’m concerned, the words from AOC here needed to be said decades ago; the problem, of course, is that the Democrats overall were too cowardly to say them, but better late than never I guess...
Sick and tired of Republicans who co-opt faith as an excuse to advance bigotry and barbarism.

Fact is, if today Christ himself came to the floor of Congress and repeated his teachings, many would malign him as a radical and eject him from the chamber. https://t.co/y19PBDw5co
...and also as far as I’m concerned, U.S. Senate Dems on the Judiciary Committee could have said something comparable to Amy Coney Barrett in her confirmation hearing this week and it would have been completely appropriate; of course, if we had a REAL opposition party in the Senate, as Sam Seder says here, they would have tried to deny Republicans a quorum and simply not shown up, paying back Sen. Mr. Elaine Chao in the manner he completely deserves (at least Sheldon Whitehouse in the clip below got somewhat close to the truth)...
...and David Doel tells us how Mayor Pete recently laid some “truth bombs” on Fix Noise propagandists Bret Baier, Martha McCallum and Steve Doocy (again, not the biggest fan of Buttigieg, but credit where it’s due here)...
...and John and Francesca of “The Damage Report” tells us that OMIGOD VOTER FRAUD IS REAL!! – the catch, though, is that it’s actually being practiced by Republicans in California with illegal voting drop boxes...
...and I put up this homemade video awhile back as a reminder of Mango Mussolini’s lawlessness, but I think it bears repeating, so here it is again...
...and with the first clip and pic in mind, I give you this tune by Jackson Browne, even though I know I already featured him a few days ago...also, I may or may not post tomorrow and I'll be out for a few days after that.

Monday Stuff
I know I’m repeating myself, but I’m sure that, in the future, these Lincoln Project people will probably turn on a dime against us one day, but for now they’re doing great work – imagine Democrats coming up with something like this...I wish I could...
...and this Now This clip points out the other world leaders besides the Gropenfuhrer who’ve utterly bungled their country’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic, notably Boris Johnson of the UK and Jair Bolsonaro of Brazil...
...and I believe that “Trump is not America” either, though unfortunately, the alleged adult attacking anti-Trump protestors here actually is...
...and John and Francesca bring us some post-debate Trump/Biden polling; yes, it looks good, but have no illusions about the fact that this will be a fight to the bitter end...
...and I now bring you the latest installment of “This Day In Doomsy History” (more or less) from 10/13/15 – this is a video of President Clinton’s statement in response to the bombing of the U.S.S. Cole, which happened 20 years ago today believe it or not...there are wingnuts out there who hated everything Clinton did of course, and one of their peeves at him was not responding militarily after the bombing, and the reason why he didn’t was because the investigation into who exactly was responsible was ongoing as he left office...the linked Wikipedia article tells the story of who was ultimately held accountable (namely, the government of Sudan), along with the fact that the bombers were held at GITMO but apparently later released...earlier this year, Sudan paid reparations to the families of our service people killed in the attack as part of normalizing relations, which (it would seem) closes the chapter on the whole tragic affair...as part of training for naval recruits, there is a simulation of the Cole bombing scenario at the Naval Station Great Lakes, Illinois...
...and last Saturday was World Mental Health Day, and if ever there was a year that would challenge us in that department, it would be this one – please reach out for help if you feel you need it.
Update: I have a personal favor to ask. If you have any coin whatsoever that you can spare, please forward it to the U.S. Senate campaign for Michigan Dem Gary Peters. His campaign is ABOLSUTELY BUGGING THE LIVING CRAP OUT OE ME FOR MONEY!!! Phone calls, Emails, texts...you name it.
Yes, I know that the DeVos family is spending stupid $$ because they want that seat and they want that token John James to do Mango Mussolini’s bidding. Yes, I know the polling is much closer than it should be. BUT I’M TIRED OF THIS CAMPAIGN PUTTING THE BITE ON ME MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY!!!!
(Also, if you're so inclined, other U.S. Senate-running Dems could use some monetary help also - please see this list.)
