This video from More Perfect Union brings us West Virginia coal miners telling their thoroughly bought-and-paid-for alleged Democratic U.S. Senator Joe Manchin to support Build Back Better...yes, we know the odds are long on this, but we need to keep fighting...
...and Joy Reid speaks with Lindsay Owens on companies overcharging in response to inflation and how they’re rewarded for this utterly disgusting behavior by their shareholders (Owens has been doing a great job in reporting this, as noted here and here – and some related info is here).
Oh, and when it comes to the economy and the issue of gas prices...yes, they’re going up on Biden’s watch b/c we’re restarting from COVID, we’re getting screwed by Russia and the Saudis of course, some of our refineries are shutting down – to say nothing of the fact that we need to be moving a hell of a lot faster on alternative energy including EVs – and gas prices ALWAYS GO UP IN THE SPRING AND SUMMER!
But I hope anyone reading this realizes that, if you turn on Biden and the Dems over this single issue, you’re rewarding a treasonous party of insurrectionists pledging their loyalty to a failed “reality show” TV star, a bunch who will give you ABSOLUTELY NOTHING if, God forbid, they seize the reins of power once more later this year...and worse than that, have given every indication that they will do whatever they can to kill our democracy and replace it with some kind of corporate despotic authoritarianism instead.
I mean, you do realize that, don’t you?...
...and somewhat related to the prior clip, Farron Cousins tells us about red states suing Biden for raising the minimum wage for federal contract workers (can’t say I’m surprised, stoo-pid a move as this is)...
...and in keeping with the theme of Republican idiocy, John and Francesca tell us about that assclown Thomas Massie who apparently is advocating for overthrowing the government...gee, didn’t Kentucky already try such treasonous behavior during the Civil War?
Massie is nothing but a stinking coward. If he encountered violence for real, he'd soil himself...
...and I thought this was a somewhat humorous commentary from Jeff Wiggins on the wingnut tears over the non-whiteness (well, except for Eminem of course) of the Super Bowl halftime show...pass the popcorn (staying with the theme of right-wing nonsense...gee, wasn't "Sexual Anarchy" a song by Black Flag?? - joke :-)...
...and speaking of bands, RIP Ian McDonald of King Crimson and Foreigner.
