Friday Stuff
I know some of this stuff gets more than a little repetitive at times, but I think it needs to be pointed out again and again; Thom Hartmann wonder If The Greedy Rich Will Ever Pay Their Fair Share (when it comes to taxes in particular...another important history lesson having to do with The Sainted Ronnie R)...
...and speaking of money matters, Ana of TYT tells us about the Senate blocking the Paycheck Fairness Act (and apparently Kirsten Gillibrand was a no-show – what’s that Dem Senate majority for again? And try not to gag while listening to Sen. Mr. Elaine Chao – typical lies once more...the U.S. Senate remains an utterly broken institution, Part The Infinity as Charlie Pierce might say)...
...and Emma V. tells us the latest concerning Dem U.S. House Rep Ilhan Omar, who once more spoke the truth but because she’s a brown Muslim woman the usual cretins started caterwauling in response...truly pitiable to share the same political allegiance with Nancy Pelosi and Debbie Wasserman Schultz who do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to defend a member of their caucus, and actually pile on in response (more of what Omar was talking about can be read about from here)...
...and this Now This clip tells us that the SCOTUS ruled this week that some TPS holders (stands for Temporary Protected Status) can’t apply for a green card; I need to learn more about this and it’s a little disturbing that the vote was unanimous – I believe it’s because they thought there should be a legislative remedy instead, but it’s still a depressing development (I think the phrase, “The bill faces an uphill battle in the Senate” should be etched in granite and put in front of the entrance to that chamber, once again, so lawmakers have to face their failure on this bill and so many others every damn day)...
...and speaking of people who are really up against it, you might say, David Doel tells us that the “poor people’s march” with the Rev. William Barber is coming to West Virginia to pay a call on Dem U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin (kudos to them...mildly NSFW/H)...
Update: And apparently, the act of "Curtsy Kyrsten" is wearing thin in AZ too (here).
...and as a bit of comic relief, Kyle K. tells us that that big-headed white fool Matt Gaetz can’t even get hired by Newsmax and OANN... I wish I could disagree with Kyle's “there are no real rules” comment, but I can’t...very NSFW/H...
...and there’s no commentary to this Rebel HQ clip...just a lot of really STOO-PID life forms in this country who allegedly are human beings deciding to burn masks all over the place – so many reactions to this idiocy, such as wondering how much these masks would actually help people in the third world who need anything they can get in the way of PPE to try and prevent COVID transmission, to say nothing of vaccines...also, I know it’s WAAAY too much to expect these numbskulls to think logically and in any kind of a constructive manner, but those masks would also help in THIS COUNTRY if we have another COVID variant wave now or later this year...and yeah, that could affect “Senator Aqua Buddha” too – it would almost serve him right if it did...
Update 6/12/21: Uh, yep.
...and I hope you’re in the mood for some totally dumb musical summer escapism (I definitely am), because here it comes.
