Gee, I wonder how many of the wingnuts out there crowing about the rights of women and girls in Afghanistan are going to have a word to say in opposition to what the SCOTUS and “balls and strikes” Hangin’ Judge JR decided to NOT DO, namely, respect SCOTUS precedent and overturn Texas’s utterly ridiculous abortion ban...and again, the High Court took the utterly cowardly route of doing NOT A DAMN THING, which (as noted in this CNN clip) signals their intentions on Roe louder than anything else (more here and here)...
...and this Now This video tells us about right-wing nut job Steve Lynch, running for Northampton county executive (in Central Bucks County, PA, in these parts), yelling that he wants school board members to be forcibly removed over mask mandates in schools (more here)...
...and this TYT clip with Ana and Cenk tells us about the anti-masker in Santa Monica, CA threatening “civil war” over mask mandates (more here...yeah, I think Cenk is on to something with the link to failed comedians, which provides an opening to take some thoroughly deserved shots at that nematode Jimmy Dore)...
...and with the outrage of the prior clips in mind, I now give you the latest installment of “This Day In Doomsy History” (more or less) from 8/31/09, with “The Pap Attack” going after Lex Luthor Scott and Columbia HCA (I think that's who Mike Papantonio is referring to when he says Columbia HSC...and I would say that Pap was prescient here about employers getting health-related information about prospective hires for insurance coverage reasons...and I’d seriously like for somebody to find out who’s financing the anti-mask, anti-vax a-holes like the ones in the Lynch video and the life form in Santa Monica, CA...probably the same ones who financed the Teahadists when Scott was head of Columbia HCA)...
...and this Rebel HQ video with Alyssa Bernadino tells us about the destruction from Hurricane Ida in NOLA, about 16 years to the day of Katrina’s awful impact (and again, since we’re talking about poor people affected, cue the stories about looters...if Ida had hit in, say, Newport Beach, Rhode Island, the theme of the media coverage would be about people’s self-sufficiency instead...to help, click here)...
Update 9/3/21: On the subject of climate, I can't think of a pit in hell deep enough for Bill Hemmer of Fix Noise for this (and Prof. Krugman nails it again here - behind the pay wall; sorry).
...and Farron Cousins tells us about that shrieking harpie Maria Bartiromo yelling at Kevin McCarthy to use the 25th Amendment to get rid of Biden (umm, the 25th Amendment has to be invoked by the VP and the cabinet, and the Senate later if it gets that far, which, as Cousins notes, won’t happen with the Dems in charge of everything except the SCOTUS as previously noted)...
...and Robert Reich runs the numbers a bit on the scam of billionaire philanthropy (and yes, that’s pretty much what it is for the reasons Reich points out)...
...and even though the rain is pouring down in these parts, I think this tune still applies as we wind down this time of year...the fall can still be pretty cool of course, so let's not get too down about it, OK?
