Tuesday Stuff


Ana and Cenk of TYT tell us about Repug U.S. Senate Mistake RoJo saying he was involved in Wisocnsin’s fake electors scheme for “a couple of seconds”...and yeah, as Cenk says, if this were the primary, Johnson would be crowing about participating in this legally actionable fraud, but since we’re now in the general election, RoJo has to try and sound like a “moderate,” when of course he is anything but as noted here (and I caught that cheeky little bit of snark from Cenk, by the way...to do something about Johnson, click here)...



...and when it comes to Repugs running for election to the U.S. Senate, I’m not sure how you could do worse than Herschel Walker in Georgia, running against Raphael Warnock...God, is Walker a train wreck! Yeah, God forbid he strays from the script with Kristi (“Unsafe At Any Speed”) Noem and actually, y’know, ANSWERS THE GODDAMN QUESTION about Roe v. Wade (as well as that “good air in U.S., bad air in China” mess of word salad in criticizing the Green New Deal, to say nothing of also mixing up the days for the proposed debate with Rev. Warnock......as I’ve said before, for the “party of Lincoln” to think that Walker is competent at this point to do anything whatsoever in public life is an enormous “F.U.” to Georgia voters...to help Rev. Warnock, click here)...



Update 8/26?22: I wonder if Walker is now going to tell us that he’s “bigger than Jesus” based on this? If he does, the wingnuts will grit their teeth and not say a damn word in reproach.

...and Farron Cousins tells us about the New York Times report that Our Treasonous Orange Pestilence and Mark Meadows wanted to give redacted classified data to wingnut journalists (related to giving up the info on “Crossfire Hurricane”...and yeah, I buy the theory that they didn’t release the docs b/c they knew they would boomerang on them) – mildly NSFW/H...



...and speaking of “the old gray lady,” Chris Hayes talks with Times journalist Ken Vogel about Leonard Leo and the $1.6 billion dark money donation from this Barre Seid guy for current and future wingnut political campaigns, as noted here (once more, the foul, fetid legacy of Citizens United lives on)...



...and Francesca and Dan Evans of The Damage Report tell us about a far-right Russian propagandist’s daughter (Darya Dugina) who was killed in a car explosion – yeah, Our Former Ol’ Buddy Vlad Putin is quick to blame Ukraine, without any actual proof of course...



...and under the category of those who have departed, RIP Jerry Allison of Buddy Holly and the Crickets.
