Thursday Stuff


Brian Tyler Cohen tells us about “Goober” Gohmert trying to get the earth to stop revolving around the sun, or something, when it comes to the issue of global climate (hard to get my head around the stoo-pid with this guy, as usual - mildly NSFW/H)...



...and Farron Cousins tells us that Repug U.S. House Rep Mo Brooks was finally served in a lawsuit by Dem Rep Eric Swalwell over the 1/6 insurrection (womp womp)...



...and this is an important question posed by The Lincoln Project (featuring that traitor Michael Flynn), but we should keep fighting and assume the answer is No (and yeah, I realize that they’re trying to get people to sign up, and I’m personally not encouraging you to give them your $$$, but that’s up to you if you do so)...



...and John and Jayar present Art Laffer (he of the “Laffer Curve” fantasy) “kicking the poors” again on Fix Noise (and yeah, Simone Biles is definitely an amazing athlete – good for her for whatever she gets)...



...and I know the first clip featured a ridiculous take on the climate crisis from The Stupidest Man In The Universe (though I'll admit that Tommy Tuberville is giving Gohmert a run for his money), but this is actually a good story in a similar vein; Rachel Maddow speaks with climate activist Bill McKibben on the death of the Keystone XL pipeline (or "near death"? And more on "Line 3" is here)...



...and Ray Charles left us 17 years ago today.
