Ali Velshi tells us more about the debt ceiling nonsense from Sen. Mr. Elaine Chao, who pretty much wants to drive our economy over a cliff over paying for debts THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN INCURRED (no end to the shit show when you vote for Republicans...and with this in mind, Manchin and Sinema should just make it official and switch parties...and yes, I know what that would entail, but those two are pretty much stopping everything anyway – I’d REALLY like to know why, at this point, what passes for Democratic leadership chooses not to make every waking moment of Manchin and Sinema’s lives utter hell, without following them into bathrooms of course)...
Update: And how much do you want to bet that that death eater from Kentucky will be back to play this game all over again in a couple of months (and believe me when I tell you that I want to be wrong – here).
...and staying with Republican congressional a-holes, this video from Ben Carollo of Rebel HQ tells us about Matt Gaetz, trying to deflect from his own legal issues by claiming that China’s Wuhan lab started COVID, which of course isn’t borne out by, y’know, actual, verifiable facts and reality...
...and this Lincoln Project ad tells us just how beholden Glenn Youngkin is to Combover Caligula (with Youngkin being the Repug running for Virginia governor; to help Youngkin's Dem opponent and former governor Terry McAuliffe, click here)...
...and John and Cenk of TYT tell us about the Facebook whistleblower who claimed that the site amplified right-wing extremism as noted here (timed for the system outage last Monday...interesting but clear-headed response from Cenk here, and I reluctantly have to agree with him pretty much; as much as I despise Zuckerberg and his site, which has a lot of good stuff but also has a lot of vile trash, it’s also largely a reflection of people’s tastes, and, like every media web site in the world, FB is chasing the almighty buck...I don’t know how you clean up FB without getting people to use their brains and common sense, and unfortunately, you can’t pass a law mandating that)...
...and I think this topic deserves some more discussion, and I thought this was an interesting take from Thom Hartmann (to piggy-back somewhat off of what he says, in 2016, that story about Trump supposedly being endorsed by the Pope was sent to about 800K people in PA before anybody knew what had happened, and you can't overestimate the impact of stuff like that working in tandem with a presidential campaign that poorly served Clinton IMO, her own mistakes, the Comey nonsense and BUT HER EMAILS!!! garbage, etc.)...
...and Farron Cousins tells us that, according to the recent tell-all book from Trumpster Stephanie Grisham, someone needed to play the theme from “Cats” to get Our Treasonous Orange Pustule to calm down before he started potentially lobbing nukes at anyone he didn’t like...on the one hand, kudos to the “music person” who made sure 45 didn’t have a typical hissy fit that could have led to disaster, but on the other hand, as soon as Grisham knew about this, she should have gone right to Congress or the Joint Chiefs and let them know instead of waiting to write a book and make $$$ off it...
...and I now give you the latest installment of “This Day In Doomsy History” (more or less) from 10/7/14...around now is the 15th anniversary of the murder of Russian journalist Anna Politkovskaya (killed pretty much on Putin’s birthday; that and more is noted here and here...I’ll let you figure out what kind of a message was sent with that one...I keep waiting for our thoroughly bought-and-paid-for corporate media in this country to write about the parallels between Putin clamping down on reporting and the attempts by the Trump gang to do the same thing, though I’ll admit that the Trumpsters haven’t gone as far as inflicting violence fortunately as far as we know, aside from that clown Greg Gianforte in Montana)...
...and I thought this was a catchy newer tune (can’t remember the last time I saw a guy with dual man-buns).
