Tuesday Stuff


John and Francesca of The Damage Report tell us about The Swanson TV Dinner Heir’s obsession over AOC, which, yeah, is actually pretty damn messed up even for “Tuckums” - oh, and there was this too...




(Oh, and apparently, in an effort to ignore Putin’s incursion into Ukraine, Carlson interviewed Kyle Rittenhouse, with the latter threatening to sue individuals and news organizations over the fallout from his all-but-guaranteed-by-that-goofball-judge not guilty verdict...heh.)

...that being said, I realize there’s not one thing that’s funny about this utterly dangerous situation with Putin’s move into the separatist regions of Luhansk and Donetsk in Ukraine; what follows is a report from the DW German TV network – Putin also apparently gave that nutty speech earlier today about trying to re-create some pre-communist Russian state...FWIW, I definitely DON’T have a good feeling about this, and years of coddling of this nut by prior presidents has led us to this point IMO...




...and returning to what admittedly is more typical fare for this site, Sam, Emma and Ben Burgis of The Majority Report tell us about the 41 percent increase in child poverty over the month of January (the child tax credit ran out largely because of Machinema and EVERY SINGLE U.S. SENATE REPUBLICAN...and actually, Will Bunch, to be fair, really raised the alarm over this recently...wanna know why this story isn’t gaining more traction? Because, overwhelmingly, people in the suburbs DON’T CARE, and yeah, they think child poverty is somehow a “choice”...more fool them)...



...and I know I touched on all of the insanity at school board meetings yesterday with Farron Cousins, but Joy Reid “follows the money” a bit on this story (and I suppose it shouldn’t shock me to hear that the national Dems apparently STILL haven’t gotten their messaging act together against the CRT boogeyman, as well as the “Defund the Police” garbage...last I checked, Dems supported funding of public sector workers in COVID relief and Repugs didn’t...COPS are public sector workers, so YOU tell ME who’s “defunding the police” and who isn’t...and boy, is Matthew Dowd ever right at the end)...



...and speaking of no ideas and only resentment, Richard Ojeda of Rebel HQ tells us about this Repug loon Wendy Rogers, a state senator in Arizona who is trying to push “the Overton Window,” which, as far as I’m concerned, has been pushed by the “party of Lincoln” beyond all reason as it is...



Update 3/1/22: Just add this to the garbage on Rogers I guess.

...and I know I'm overdue for a Neil Young tune as a tribute to a guy standing up to Joe Rogan and his anti-vax, anti-mask BS on Spotify, so here's something else from Young's catalogue.
