Monday Stuff

David Doel tells us about “Dark Brandon” and his most recent campaign rally in Arizona last week (hey, if the wingnuts are going to come up with this “Let’s Go Brandon” BS, then let’s find a way to give it back to ‘em...and GREAT JOB on the PPP stuff from the Twitter feed)...yeah, to say that this is long overdue is an understatement, but kudos to Biden for hitting all of the right notes and tying it back to the fall elections; now, we’ll have to follow through on campaign work with the goal of policy and legislation that actually makes sense...we’ll see (and when it comes to playing nice with the other side, I give you this)...



...and when it comes to issues that matter, the climate has to be paramount above all others, and this latest from Second Thought tells us how capitalism is destroying the world (“You can’t make money when something’s abundant. It’s only when it’s scarce that the big bucks come in,” indeed...that’s focused on our dirty energy criminals, but it really applies to the world economy writ large)...



...and Emma of The Majority Report tells us how frantically Blake Masters, Repug U.S. Senate candidate in Arizona, is trying to scrub as much anti-abortion BS from his web site as he can; well, unfortunately for Masters, the evidence is here (to help his opponent, Dem incumbent Mark Kelly, click here...and by the way, I know there were people who were mad about Kelly recently saying something about working with Republicans...I’m willing to trust Kelly’s judgment on this since I think he knows AZ voters better than I do and Kelly has a great track record of supporting Dem legislation, unlike that other wretched alleged Democrat from Kelly’s state in the U.S. Senate)...



Update: And speaking of "Curtsy Kyrsten" (here)...

...and Ana and Cenk tell us about a guy who’s pranking Texas Repugs in the best way possible IMO, and that is to create “In God We Trust” posters for “the land of the yellow rose” in Arabic...hey assclowns, it’s not OUR fault that you didn’t think about that when you came up with this bogus law of yours...



...and John and Brett Erlich of The Damage Report tell us how YouTuber Tim Pool is apparently trying to venture into music (speaking of assclowns...God, this was funny)...



...and when it comes to musicians for real, RIP jazz organ virtuoso and trumpeter Joey DeFrancesco (from Springfield PA – here...they’re still “dropping like flies” in August sadly).
