Rachel Maddow reminds us here that the 1/6 insurrection was only a dry-run for those treasonous bastards seeking to overthrow our government...we need to prosecute those responsible to the fullest extent of the law, and we also need to, if necessary, outbid those pulling the puppet strings of President Manchin and Vice President Sinema to get those 2 to trash the wretched filibuster at long last and pass the voting rights bill – that’s the ONLY way we’re going to prevent the “party of Lincoln” from taking over next year, not because their notions of governance are better (with each passing day, I think those cretins have less and less of an idea of what responsible governance truly is - more here), but because of the ridiculous gerrymandering going on in states with Republican legislatures (and here’s a link to the Barton Gellman piece in The Atlantic cited by Maddow)...
...and oh yeah, here’s a bit of a historical reminder of how Trumpism got started; this is an excerpt from a 1947 film by the War Department called “Don’t Be A Sucker” (The Swanson TV Dinner Heir didn’t do anything that hadn’t been done before him, as you can see from here...can't think of a word to describe the under-handedness of criticizing NATO over Our Former Ol' Buddy Vlad Putin...and of course, it wouldn’t truly be wingnut BS without a typo)...
...and this video from More Perfect Union describes the economic recovery the media is ignoring (this video should be seen far and wide by everyone, including anybody who’s entertaining the slightest thought of voting for a Repug next year, because if they take control of Congress, all of the progress shown in this video will come screeching to a halt)...
...and for the latest in rapacious predatory capitalism, John and Nina Turner of The Damage Report tell us about this CEO tool named Vishal Garg of Better.com who laid off 900 people on a Zoom call ("oh, I hope I don't cry this time"...how about a nice, heaping glass full of STFU? And here is more really awful behavior, including calling employees “dumb dolphins” and threatening to staple a guy to a wall and burn him alive...charming)...
...and here are three more seasonal tunes (plus this), along with our annual remembrance.
