It appears David Keene and John Lott of the NRA ended up giving a commencement address to a whole bunch of empty chairs, each representing a student killed from gun violence who would never see graduation...still can’t get my head around the fact that important statements like this (the chairs I mean) will NEVER shame soulless right-wing cretins like these two into doing the right thing, though I of course applaud this by Manuel and Patricia Oliver, whose son Joaquin “Guac” was killed at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, in 2018 (more here)...
...and Ana of TYT and Emma V. of The Majority Report tell us about a recent collapse of a pedestrian bridge in DC, on the same day that this deal on infrastructure was announced by the Biden Administration, though nobody knows what will happen when the bill is introduced in “the world’s greatest deliberative body” for debate, but of course our elite corporate media will now crow about “bipartisanship” anyway and Manchin and Sinema (quite rightly called a psycho by Emma) will use this as an excuse to do EXACTLY NOTHING about the filibuster...what a damn joke....
...and as we all know, the biggest reason why legislation goes to die in “the upper chamber” is because of Sen. Mr. Elaine Chao, who gets the treatment he deserves from The Daily Show (NSFW/H)...
...and this Arizona nut case of course may be the second biggest reason (definitely not Katie Hobbs, but the one with the "F.U." ring) as this More Perfect Union video reminds us...
...and turning to our regularly scheduled plague (more precisely, the deadly Delta variant), Alyssa Bernardino tells us to ”roll up your sleeves, it’s time” indeed – actually, it’s long past time...
...and kudos to Brian Williams for sneaking in this bit of snark at the end of his clip showing assclown Matt Gaetz getting shown up by Gen. Mark Milley on the whole drummed-up phony issue of critical race theory (you would think the Repugs would want to keep Gaetz out of sight given his legal trouble...you would think)...
...and I thought this was a particularly well-done commentary from Beau of the Fifth Column about what Gen. Milley had to say...
...and with the weather warming up a bit in these parts, I think it's time for this tune.
