Rachel Maddow brings us an update of a story she did last December 23rd about fake ‘20 election documents in Wisconsin; well, it turns out this garbage also happened in at least four other states...Georgia, Nevada, Michigan and Arizona (credit to Maddow and Politico...hate to give the latter credit for anything, but fair is fair – Nicholas Wu is a good reporter...among other responses, I don’t want to hear another goddamn word from Repugs about “voter fraud”...also, Merrick Garland needs to appoint a special prosecutor for this...sounds like MORE people need to go to prison for a loooooong time)...
Update 1/13/22: Oh, so now it's SEVEN states, apparently including PA? (here)...
...and I would say that that utter assclown Rand (“Fake Ophthalmologist”) Paul getting his comeuppance from Dr. Fauci was incredibly overdue (mildly NSFW/H...more here)...
...and continuing with our ongoing plague, John and Francesca tells us that the wingnuts are just so overjoyed to hear that AOC has tested positive...sick bastards (as Francesca says, likely because AOC visited the land of Ron #DeathSantis while doing her job)...
...and Sam of The Majority Report tells us about the SCOTUS hearing a challenge to Biden’s vaccine mandate (and apparently Gorsuch showed his true colors...why vaccinate anybody for anything as far as he’s concerned, right?).
And I saw a few minutes of a clip of Ali Velshi and Dahlia Lithwick recently talking about remarks from “Strip Search Sammy” Alito raising doubts about the COVID vaccines (which makes me ask where the hell it was exactly that Alito received any medical education whatsoever).
And with all due respect to Velshi and Lithwick, I’m pretty fed up with anybody at this point being surprised that 6 wingnut SCOTUS justices want people to hurry up, get back to work, and get sick and die. That’s their end game, people (COVID has just given them the chance to hurry things up a bit). Make sure the rabble is smart enough to know how to operate the machines but way too dumb to do anything else, as The Eternal George Carlin once put it. And yeah, screwing over workers in the process is great, as far as the wingnuts are concerned. And if you do the same to women, minorities, working families, and kids while you’re at it, all the better.
We’ve been watching this play out for at least 40 years, people. None of this should be a surprise...
...and Monday 1/10 marked the 17th anniversary of that ridiculous “audit” of CBS by a Bushie pal, the late PA Guv Dick Thornburgh, in response to the story of Dubya allegedly disappearing while serving in the Texas Air National Guard (the news story is here, and producer Mary Mapes’s response is here – the clip of Dubya and Connie Chung from the '88 Republican Convention includes a typically stoo-pid remark at the end about Vietnam and the National Guard from Former President Highest Disapproval Rating In Gallup Poll History)...
...and RIP Michael Lang, who helped produce Woodstock (including this tune).
