Friday Stuff


They all lied – yeah, that pretty much says it...



...and as Lawrence O’Donnell so correctly tells us here, all politicians (including Republican ones who profess otherwise) are pro-choice, since they sure as hell would be trying to find abortions for their wives, girlfriends, daughters, etc. if they needed to (and as usual, Dubya lied about how he felt on this issue along with the rest of the cowards of his party)...



...and David Doel brings us two clips of Ana Kasparian going off on this issue; yes, I agree with her in a lot of ways, but as much as it sucks that we have no choice but to turn to the Dems, we have no choice but to turn to the Dems to keep trying to bend that party to our will as much as they’re bent towards their corporate donors...we give up that fight, and it’s game, set and match for the “party of Lincoln”...



...and Farron Cousins tells us about this Grant Stinchfield idiot on Newsmax saying Ketanji Brown Jackson is somehow responsible for the leaked opinion on Roe, which would REALLY be a neat trick since she hasn’t even been seated on the bench of the High Court yet...what a 24-carat imbecile this guy is (and as noted previously, I agree with this)...



...and it should be noted also that our neighbors to the north are paying attention to all of the ongoing Roe-related garbage in this country (correspondent Heather Hiscox speaks with Kemlin Nembhard, Executive Director of the Women’s Health Clinic of Winnipeg, MA)...



...and when it comes to the individuals who are ultimately the true authors of the misery we’re dealing with including the attack on reproductive rights, Mehdi Hasan takes a look at billionaire venture capitalist Peter Thiel, who helped fund Trumpist nut job J.D. Vance’s winning primary campaign in Ohio (along with a few other campaigns, including this wackadoodle named Blake Masters in Arizona running against Mark Kelly for the U.S. Senate..."Hillbilly Elegy" - are you freaking kidding me??)...



Update 5/15/22: Yeah, given the recent Buffalo carnage, I would call this a particularly tone deaf comment from Masters.

...oh, and let us not forget that the “R” party has no interest in governance (they want to rule), as noted by Dem U.S. House Rep David Cicilline of Rhode Island...



...and with an eye towards what I hope will be a Happy Mother’s Day coming up, I present the following; usually I go with Etta James’s signature tune or another number, but I think a selection from Joan Baez is apropos given the ongoing struggles we face in this country for basic human dignity for our wives, mothers, daughters, sisters, etc.
