Monday Stuff


Jordan Klepper of The Daily Show gives those CPAC lunatics the treatment they deserve here (Klepper’s special will air on Comedy Central on April 21st)...



...and John of TYT tells us about Mike Lee and Chip Roy sending texts to Mark Meadows to get some talking points about the 1/6 insurrection (with Francesca and Farron Cousins...”brother, we need something!” Just too precious...and GREAT point by Francesca about the difference between the smokescreen BS and the “parliamentary” stuff that the Repugs are doing their level best to try and enact to change the outcome of our elections...and boy is Cousins ever right too about appointing a special prosecutor for this whole mess – I definitely would nominate Doug Jones for that)...



...and Lawrence O’Donnell brings us that GREAT speech by state house rep Ian Mackey of Missouri against more anti-LGBTQ garbage from Mackey’s fellow Repug rep Chuck Basye (for support, click here)...



...but don’t worry – Basye’s party of con men and women and grifters have a plan to “save America”...for themselves, their donors and no one else, of course...



...and the latest video from Second Thought asks “What If We Just Stopped Working,” or at least, working so much (slightly NSFW/H) – hey, I’m willing to give a 32-hour-work-week a try, but good luck waiting for that to happen...should probably include this again around Labor Day to be honest...



...and on the subject of income (and saving the planet ultimately), Robert Reich and Dem U.S. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse discuss the proposed windfall profits tax on this country's dirty energy corporate cretins (and we could actually get some extra greenbacks out of this deal while we’re at it)...



...and I realized I never officially ended my tribute to the artists boycotting Spotify over the Joe Rogan anti-vax BS on COVID, so I should probably do that now with a tune from Nils Lofgren...



...and Neil Young.
