So it seems that we’re going to have to deal with the lunatic Trumpster GOP base while Democrats, for the most part, engage in responsible governance and our corporate media plays its ridiculous game of “well, BOTH SIDES, but no matter what it is, it’s somehow good news for Republicans”...oh, and did you hear that the U.S. is “backsliding” as a global democracy (recounting the Kyle Rittenhouse verdict and the state-sponsored execution of an Antifa activist in Oregon by comparison...Chris Hayes tells us more)...
...and Rachel Maddow tells us about some lunatic making a “shotgun revolver” and a guy from Indiana bringing it on 1/6 of course (love her cheeky comments here...and I know something about the Trumper nuts in Doylestown, PA, FWIW...and except for Adam Kinzinger and Liz Cheney, silence from the “party of Lincoln” in response, with Nancy Pelosi trying to govern in the middle of repeated death threats – not her biggest fan at times, but props to her for courage, as opposed to that utterly spineless mess Schumer in the Senate)...
...and Ana and Cenk of TYT tell us about Fix Noise and Tuckums becoming too nuts even for Jonah Goldberg and Stephen Hayes...and I definitely get Ana’s frustration...and by the way, don’t think I feel sorry for ANY conservative who is suddenly all mea culpa all over the place...hey, you all were fat, dumb and happy under your boy Dubya as well as Generalissimo Trump for awhile and chose to say and do NOTHING...
...and when it comes to the “right” and violence (on a lesser scale I’ll admit), Brian Tyler Cohen tells us about that clown Pete Hegseth getting all pissy with someone from Mediaite who had the temerity as far as Hegseth is concerned to call out Fox’s vaccine mandate (daily testing), which is stricter than the one Biden is calling for (weekly testing)...”oh, we’re Fox, and our ratings are so much better than you and your puny network” – what a jagoff (and Hegseth took a page out of Steve King and Louie Gohmert’s “book” here)...
..and Ari Melber takes on this GOP U.S. House turd named Gary Palmer obstructing the Biden infrastructure bill in the House but taking credit for it in his own district (in Alabama of course...the takeaway from this for me is that the Dems are indeed going to have to sell the infrastructure bill like crazy over the next year as projects roll out, including the BBB bill, assuming that ever passes...and Palmer was on this list too)...
...and speaking of the (dis)loyal opposition...oh, look, it’s Sen. Mr. Elaine Chao writing in the WaPo that the Dems shouldn’t do anything with the Supreme Court, which to me is an open invitation for them to do exactly what that death eater McConnell DOESN’T want (Farron Cousins tells us more)...
...and David Doel tells us about a pipeline protest on indigenous lands in British Columbia - three journalists and over a dozen land defenders have been detained – the Committee to Protect Journalists has come to the defense of Amber Bracken and Michael Toledano (the $$ behind this is discussed at about 4:50...Canadian investment firms involved with these private equity companies have been bankrolling this insanity...I have a feeling that that kind of funding is going on in this country too concerning this dying energy industry, but I can’t prove it – sure would like to find out, though)...
...and I'm trying to get my newer tunes out of the way, since I don't think there will be many of them in the weeks ahead (for reasons you can no doubt figure out...sorry about the domestic issues, though).
