Wednesday Stuff


Beau of the Fifth Column gives us his take on wingnut Repug South Dakota Guv Kristi Noem’s decision to, in essence, privatize the National Guard in her state and send those folks to the southwest border...so many levels of dunderheaded stupidity here – part of me wishes that we’d FINALLY get to a point where someone in her party would say, “OK, we’ve officially gone too far now,” but after 600K dead from COVID, I don’t expect that will ever happen, and I don’t want to imagine what kind of a hellscape this country would be if it did...



...and part of me doesn’t want to get totally preoccupied with Republican cruelty and stoo-pidity at this site, but more and more I feel like I need to address this stuff – Farron Cousins tells us that LA Sen. Bill Cassidy basically considers infrastructure to be a “woman’s problem”...just say “oops” and get out, senator...



...and Chuck Todd(ler) questions AOC about that ridiculous WaPo column from “Curtsy Kyrsten” in defense of the filibuster...David Doel tells us about it (NSFW/H)...



...and Brian Tyler Cohen presents that toad Peter Doocy trying to deflect from the fact that the “party of Lincoln” actually supported – wait for it! – “defunding the police” by not supporting the AFP...this guy could only get a job at The Roger Ailes BS Factory, and he’s helped by “dear old dad” taking up space on the “crotch couch” for that AM mess (video ends at about 6:48 – link to donate to “Don’t Be A Mitch” campaign to support funding elections in swing states appears at about 7:41)...



...and as if we haven’t had enough dunderheaded nonsense from the “loyal opposition,” Repug U.S. House Rep Dan Crenshaw is all up in arms over the protest of athlete Gwen Berry during the national anthem...yep, more distraction BS from the other side (Cenk and Ana tell us more...didn’t know about that hidden racist verse in the national anthem...shocking)...



...and here is a summer reading suggestion; really well done and a page turner - makes me think of this somewhat dreamy tune.
