Saturday Stuff


Yeah, the drum beat against those who supported the January 6th insurrection is only going to get louder, and that includes this guy along with the U.S. Senate traitors in this video...



...and Farron Cousins tells us about how the Republican Attorney Generals Association launched the robocall that helped stir the great unwashed followers of Our Treasonous Orange Pustule into action (more here)...



...and Chris Hayes is absolutely right of course, but to me, all of this “the election was stolen” grievance BS (though down-ballot Repugs won like crazy, unfortunately) is what is sadly a profitable offshoot of the entire money-making conservative media and political model of “oh, we’re just poor, misunderstood conservatives oppressed by liberals who want free health care for immigrant caravans full of gangs, bathrooms with trans people using my toilet, and...all together now – ABORTION ON DEMAND” that the right has been milking dry for at least the last 30 or so years...



...and I thought Ari Melber did a good job here of linking the incendiary words of the lowlifes who encouraged the violence along with the knuckle draggers who carried it out (one of the last dying gasps of white privilege as far as I’m concerned, which can’t expire soon enough)...



...and this Now This clip features some of the Capitol officers caught up in the murderous mayhem (“The cognitive dissonance and the zealotry of these people is unreal.” indeed)...



...and I'm in the mood for a little late night musical escapism - I think this will suffice (and somewhat inspired by these clips, I have to admit).
