Friday Stuff


John and Jessica Burbank tell us of someone involved in the 1/6 insurrection who was sentenced to 7 years in prison, and the family of this person wants Combover Caligula to be sentenced also (yep, them and about a hundred or so million other people at least, I would guess...great catch by Burbank on Edward Bernays, by the way)...



...and when it comes to the bottom feeders who cheer on the moral and intellectual decay of this country that led to the 1/6 riot (as well as other awful consequences), this Daily Show clip tells us that there’s no separation between “Tuckums” and his far right pals and David Duke and the KKK (and there’s no separation with this Hungarian autocrat either)...



...and if, after watching those CPAC nut jobs give Viktor Orban a standing “O” for invoking racial purity, you STILL want to turn the crazy meter up higher, I give you this from that loon Lauren Boebert, who says that an assault weapons ban will lead to eating dogs (oy!)...



...and Beau discusses former White House Counsel under Trump Pat Cipollone getting a subpoena (trying to get to one of the main sources of this insanity) – I thought these points were particularly interesting: 1) The DOJ usually defends executive privilege as opposed to going after a member of the executive branch that invokes privilege in withholding testimony (so, partly for that reason, they’ll know how to get through Cipollone’s arguments against testifying on certain points); and 2) The fact that the DOJ is looking at Cipollone DEFINITELY means they’re looking at the Gropenfuhrer also...



...and Sam and Emma of The Majority Report discuss that corrupt U.S. Senate Repug guttersnipe RoJo trying to cut Social Security – GREAT analysis...



...and I now give you the latest installment of “This Day In Doomsy History,” and I know I’m REALLY late with this since I originally included this video on 7/31/11, but I think it’s pretty timely given the prior clip...Bernie Sanders talks about Chucky and Dave Koch doing their demonic best to try and dismantle Social Security (more here...and it’s just Chucky now of course, though, given his funding against efforts to combat climate change, he wants to help burn down the whole damn planet, not just seniors in this country who would be made to work until 70 at least if Koch had his way)...



Update 8/7/22: More here.

...and I’m going out of order again with putting up Second Thought videos, but I’m doing that because it has a lot to do with what I posted about here, with the title of “Why Are Dems Funding Far-Right Candidates?” (and I’m sure the other side has been doing comparable stuff for awhile, but that doesn’t justify the scheme as far as I’m concerned)...unfortunately, I think he makes a great point about how, when capitalism fails, it’s replaced by fascism and not socialism, as we saw with Hitler and Mussolini around WWII of course, and how Dems are, arguably, playing into that with that ridiculous strategy to support Trumper lunatic Doug Mastriano and his wretched ilk...another terrific analysis of our political and economic structure in this country IMO – the goal of the political class (including our bought-and-paid-for corporate media) is to preserve the wretched status quo for our economic class, ultimately – maybe not a “news flash” but important to consider all the same...



...and given the temperature in these parts, I think this tune definitely fits...please keep hydrated and look out for anyone you know of who could be oppressed by the heat (elderly, homebound, kids, pets, etc.).
