Friday Stuff


Yeah, RoJo should be gone from “the word’s greatest deliberative body” (please), but he’ll probably be around until 2022, but hopefully not longer than that (to do something about that, click here)...



...and Brian Williams speaks with journalist Kurt Bardella about the aftermath of the Atlanta massacre, including the remarks of Texas congressional idiot Chip Roy (and apparently the alleged shooter asked if he'd spend the rest of his life in jail (here)...well no, actually – since GA has the death penalty, you may get a date with a needle instead... and I’m sorry, but I don’t believe Chris Wray that the attack wasn’t racially motivated...given his stonewalling of Sheldon Whitehouse, I don’t believe Wray on anything)...



...and leave it to the Swanson TV Dinner Heir to come up with the completely wrong take on this, as John and Yasmin Khan tell us, with the Fix Noise host saying “the left” is blaming white supremacy for the Atlanta shootings...yeah, nice straw man you got there Tucker; we’re still learning more about the latest white kid with a grievance and a gun who allegedly decided to go nuts and I don’t think a link to white supremacy has been established...but would it really be a surprise if we found out that it existed? Also, I know the police said they didn’t even think the shootings constituted hate crimes against Asians, as we alluded to earlier, though that’s coming from the same police force that made that remark about the alleged shooter “having a bad day”...



...and given all of this, you would think Repugs would provide SOME support to renewing the Violence Against Women Act (commendably introduced by Brian Fitzpatrick), but....naaaah (yep, the “party of Lincoln” wants crazy stalking boyfriends to be able to get guns, and of course, as David Doel tells us, the “R” team automatically hates anything having to do with the LGBTQ community...and Debbie Lesko doesn’t get brownie points here because she was in an abusive relationship; as Doel points out, she’s straight-up lying here...mildly NSFW)...



...and speaking of Repugs behaving badly, apparently Pat Toomey blocked a bill to prevent private debt collectors form seizing ARP checks (here) – how pathetically predictable...



...and while we’re on the subject of Republican U.S. senatorial mistakes, I should have realized that there is NO LIMIT to how low that numbskull Rand Paul will go to try and make himself look intelligent (though he will always fail), especially against someone FAR MORE ACCOMPLISHED THAN HE WILL EVER BE – in this case, Dr. Anthony Fauci...Hey Kentucky, just how stoo-pid are some of you to continually elect this clown and Sen. Mr. Elaine Chao anyway...



Update 3/20/21: Ugh...

...and Farron Cousins tells us that it looks like the 2020 redistricting may be a little more complicated for the Repugs than we first thought; they might up accidentally oppressing their own voters; HR1, however, would make that matter moot...we’ll see (and “Democrat” is not an adjective)...



...and given the Brian Williams clip and those horrible remarks form Chip Roy (yeah, as if the only people allegedly believing in justice are from Texas - what a POS), I think this tune is appropriate.
