Chris Hayes brings us the story of the parents of the Uvalde, TX mass murder victims decorating the tiny caskets for their kids (there are just no words at a certain point)...Hayes also commendably takes apart the right-wing BS excuse about a teacher allegedly leaving a door open that the mass murderer used to gain entry (I don’t know how the cops and politicians in that locality find a way to sleep at night, but somehow I guess they do)...
...and Trevor Noah makes similar points with humor, though it is a bit of a fine line I’ll admit when it comes to calling out life forms like Repug U.S. Senator RoJo of Wisconsin (and to help Mandela Barnes, click here...mildly NSFW/H)...
...and Brian Tyler Cohen tells us about the idiot Repug U.S. House Rep Billy Long of Missouri, who blames...wait for it!...ABORTION ABORTION ABORTION ABORTION ABORTION ABORTION ABORTION ABORTION ABORTION and ABORTION for gun violence; I have to say that that’s a neat little way to tie together the biggest pet peeves of the wingnuts, though of course it has nothing to do with verifiable truth and reality (and apparently this Long clown is running for the U.S. Senate...NSFW/H also)...
...and John and Francesca of The Damage Report discuss Biden claiming that there are “rational Republicans” on the gun issue in the wake of the Uvalde massacre (and I hate to admit it, but Francesca is right that the Repugs “do stuff” once they get power...of course, they use it to screw over everybody of course...I think Francesca is right to blame the Dems since they supposedly hold power in “the world’s greatest deliberative body,” but the U.S. Senate remains a deeply broken institution, mainly, but not exclusively, because of Republicans...and I know what the Sunday morning shows are, but they’re basically pabulum on behalf of the political/media/industrial complex where authority can pretty much get its way without much push back...in fewer words, Biden and his people blew it by not seizing the opportunity as noted here)...
...and speaking of those ridiculous Sunday programs, I don’t believe we’ve heard so much as a peep out of “Governor Bully” in the wake of the Uvalde massacre; Christie has made a career out of vilifying teachers every way possible, so you’d think he’d be “in his glory” now...
Update 6/5/22: Yeah, I guess he was bound to say something utterly stoo-pid at some point, so I suppose this was inevitable.
..and Sam and Emma of The Majority Report discuss this terrific opening campaign ad from Charles Booker running against Rand (“Fake Ophthalmologist”) Paul in the Kentucky U.S. Senate race...GREAT points about creating an actual infrastructure to run a campaign as opposed to trying to drown your opponent in negative campaign ads, which, for a Dem, works approximately never (to help Booker, click here)...
...and this tune doubles as our regional weather forecast and I guess what you could call the opening of my summer selections – hope you enjoy.
