Thursday Stuff


John and Nina Turner of The Damage Report tell us about “Tuckums” complaining about the other side – and not himself, as always – allegedly using COVID to divide us...and of course, The Swanson TV Dinner Heir dragged the death of Colin Powell into his rant...



...and on the subject of our ongoing plague, Chris Hayes talks with Judd Legum about Koch-backed groups funding COVID school protests against mask mandates (I would argue with Hayes’s claim that this ISN’T astroturfing...and boy, does Fairfax County, VA have a checkered history when it comes to race issues, as noted here)...



...and in this Rebel HQ clip, David Shuster tells us about Liz Cheney talking about the Trump/Bannon connection to the 1/6 insurrection (yeah, lots of issues with Cheney on just about every other issue, but she’s on the right track for sure here – and I guess I should be surprised that eight Republicans, including Bri-Fi, voted to hold Bannon in contempt as noted here and here)...



...and sticking with that awful day in January, Brian Tyler Cohen tells us about Jamie Rasklin giving Matt Gaetz the treatment he deserves in the matter of the investigation into the 1/6 attacks (and dear God, is Gaetz EVER going to be indicted for all of that alleged garbage with paying underage girls for sex?)...



...and MSNBC, as is their wont, stupidly cut this Rachel Maddow clip to remove the minute-or-so of the speech yesterday by Independent Maine Senator Angus King, but this otherwise includes most of her interview with King (and I don’t think 24% of the people having basically a veto over everyone else squares with the intent of the framers either...and with all due respect to King, I don’t think Manchin and Sinema have a bipartisan molecule in their wretched bodies...King was referring to Lawrence O’Donnell in the clip, who also once worked as a Senate staffer)...



...and RIP Broadway and movie composer Leslie Bricusse, who brought us this tune among many memorable others.
