Thursday Stuff


Mehdi Hasan interviews former Repug U.S. House Rep Carlos Curbelo over the brown shirt Turning Point USA rally last weekend in #DeathSantis Land, which also turned out to be a rally for the Gropenfuhrer of course, complete with Nazi flags and other regalia (a sneaky little bit of “both siderism” here from Curbelo; I’m not saying lefties are perfect by any means, but I don’t see an equivalent on our side to the neo-Nazi garbage and what led up to the 1/6 insurrection)...



...and I know the prior Rachel Maddow video got into all of the “Christian nationalism” stuff, but I think it’s important to keep beating that metaphorical drum, which University of Oklahoma professor Samuel Perry does here, interviewed by Victor Blackwell of CNN...



...and any religious imagery associated with the “party of Lincoln” is a particularly sick joke as far as I’m concerned given what has transpired from “the world’s greatest deliberative body” on Capitol Hill over the PACT Act (here)...Jon Stewart truly spits NSFW/H fire on this, as well he should; this may be the worst dragging “No Corporate Tax” Pat Toomey has ever received, and it’s completely deserved...



Update: More here.

Update 7/29/22: Offered without further comment...

...and Farron Cousins tells us that, if God forbid Repugs find a way to take over the U.S. House this fall, yeah, get ready for all kinds of Hunter Biden garbage (or, maybe not - can never quite tell with that bunch), and Dr. Fauci pretty much says, have at it, hoss, as Cenk Uygur might say (and Cousins is referring to this, by the way)...



...and I thought this was very insightful clip from David Shuster of Rebel HQ, who tells us about a Michigan man apologizing to the LGBTQ community for his words and actions, and those of others I’m sure, towards the man’s “suite mate,” presumably someone he shared a room with while in college, who killed himself...



...and I'll just keep going down my summer selections list with this tune.
