Saturday Stuff


I thought this was another good commentary from Beau of the Fifth Column about Juneteenth becoming a federal holiday, relating it a bit to July 4th (and the comment about that guttersnipe Charlie Kirk was spot on also)...



...and this tells us about the 14 U.S. House Repug cretins who voted against the holiday (and speak of the devil, isn’t this just too precious?)...



...and I thought this video from Second Thought was pretty good about how the richest 1% pay a pittance, if anything at all, in taxes (and while I don’t completely buy into the “Dems are the same as Repugs” framing, I have to admit unfortunately that there’s a lot of overlap when it comes to doing the bidding of their donors)...



...and Brian Tyler Cohen tells us about the most recent idiocy from Repug U.S. Senator Roy Blunt calling the attempt by Joe Manchin to strike some voting bill compromise “the “Stacey Abrams bill” (with Abrams expertly “Blunt-ing” the attack, you might say – heh)...



...and David Pakman tells us that U.S. House Dems have proposed full decriminalization of pot, which I support (but not legalization for recreational use nationwide...timed for the 50th anniversary of Tricky Dick and his “war on drugs”...part of me smells more “Oh, Look At Those Dems! They Want To Legalize All Drugs, Siding With The Criminals Again!!!” garbage attack ads coming mainly next year over this, and the Dems had better be prepared instead of cowering in fear like most of them did over the “defund the police” stuff in ‘20)....



...and happy upcoming Father's Day to all dads out there.
