This CNN clip tells us about CA federal judge Roger Benitez, who overturned that state’s assault weapons ban, equating an AR-15 with a Swiss army knife; yes, I know I’m a little behind on this, but this one is too awful to ignore...and yeah, it’s a real shock that this guy is a gun-humper nominated and confirmed under Dubya, isn’t it (oh, but we like #43 now because he ate Michelle Obama’s jelly beans at John McCain’s funeral, or something – more here and here)...
...and speaking of legal bidness, Rachel Maddow tells us all the ways that Merrick Garland ISN’T cutting it as AG under President Biden...of all the appalling stuff, I think upholding the typical garbage from Bill Barr in the Jean Carroll suit is the worst, but there’s a lot to go around...
Update 6/11/21: OK, so this is progress.
...and as sort of a companion clip to the prior one, Robert Reich reminds us of the GOP’s threat to democracy (25 percent, huh? Actually, it’s always the effing 30 or so percent)...
...and Ana K. of TYT tells us about AOC going after Manchin, with a discussion of Manchin’s garbage alternative of a “voting bill”...and Sen. Mr. Elaine Chao is actually right about the SCOTUS gutting the preclearance provision of the VRA, but he subsequently lies and deliberately reaches the wrong conclusion in his remarks after that of course...
...and John and Francesca of TYT tell us that Jeff Bezos wants to go into space, but unfortunately, he also wants to come back...this reminds me of the antics of that guy Steve Fossett who just wanted to attract attention with his aviation exploits until he died while in a light aircraft...and no, I definitely don’t wish that on Bezos...
...and here's a bit of a light, upbeat seasonal selection to hopefully get us over the hump day on our way to the weekend.
