Saturday Stuff


So it looks as if “meth house” Bannon is going to surrender himself on Monday after being indicted by a grand jury on 2 counts of contempt of Congress (for Making Treason Great Again I guess) – I suppose he’s going to have one big monster blowout this weekend before he goes over (John, Cenk and Nina Turner offer commentary)...



...and with Bannon’s encouragement (along with those of his QAnon and fellow right-wing loony followers), it seems 13 U.S. House Republicans are facing a lot of heat for voting for the “corporate stuff” infrastructure bill (with Fred Upton getting a particularly disgusting and cowardly death threat, which is messed up on so many levels)...once again, I hate to give props to Bri-Fi for anything, but he made the right move here...can’t think of a word to describe the stupidity (to say nothing of the entitlement) of lunatics who scream like pigs in an abattoir over legislation primarily benefitting corporations, though that isn’t the reason for their complaint (just doing what Dear Leader Mango Mussolini tells them); can’t imagine what they’ll do if by some miracle the BBB bill gets passed (Caroline Johnson of Rebel HQ tells us more)...



...and it sounds like Peter Alexander of NBC News was trying some kind of a “gotcha” question on behalf of the “party of Lincoln” about why Biden can’t use some mystical presidential power, with daisies and unicorns I guess, to make everybody sing fa la la and just get along related to this “Let’s Go Brandon” nonsense (fortunately, Jen Psaki is incredibly adept at fending off that idiocy)...as Ana Kasparian correctly points out, the “Let’s Go Brandon” people should just have the honesty to say “F Biden” because that’s what they really mean, just like all this idiocy about Critical Race Theory is just the latest catchphrase to make the wingnuts comfortable with their racism (Brian Tyler Cohen tells us more)...



...and this important video from More Perfect Union tells us that the U.S. actually once had federally funded day care...in 1943 during WWII, and tried to bring it back in 1971, but it was stopped by Tricky Dick and “Uber Alles” Buchanan (“a long leap into the dark,” huh? Right, but not in the way he means)...



...and when it comes to other countries doing the right thing, David Doel tells us here that Portugal just passed a law making it illegal for employers to “message” you after work...this is the face of economic socialism, people (not sold on the U.S. decriminalizing ALL drugs, but this is definitely important info)...



...and RIP Graeme Edge of The Moody Blues.
