Monday Stuff

You can tell President Biden really hit a nerve with all of the butt-hurt Republicans out there in his Philadelphia speech by merely telling the truth; with that in mind, I thought this was a well-done commentary from Texas Paul at Meidas Touch (NSFW/H)...



....and Trae Crowder has a similar NSFW/H take, with a VPN commercial in the middle of his commentary...hey, we all have to pay the bills somehow...



...and with the prior two clips in mind, I thought Beau made a great point (echoed also here by David Frum)...basically, the best thing for Repug electoral prospects is to having nothing whatsoever to do with Former President Fergus Laing so they can keep prattling on about “Oh, Biden socialism, gas prices, inflation, blah blah blah,” but guess what? Now, with his latest hate-filled soiree in Wilkes-Barre, we have all been reminded all over again that THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS WHOLLY AND ALTOGETHER OWNED BY DONALD J. TRUMP...



...and just when you thought Mehmet (“CALL ME DOCTOR, DAMMIT!”) Oz couldn’t sink any lower, he goes and maligns two men wrongfully convicted in a murder case who John Fetterman worked tirelessly to clear...if Oz had a speck of integrity, he would realize what an utter fool he has made out of himself in this campaign and drop out, but of course, since our form of politics in this country is more of a steel cage match than an episode of “The West Wing,” he won’t (Chris Hayes brings us the details)...



...and as far as I’m concerned, if you want to get to the root of the problem of how this country has become so cartoonish in our electoral contests, a lot of that has to do with the ascendancy of The Sainted Ronnie R and his demonization of government; Repugs want to destroy this country via tax cuts and the Dems want to rebuild – time to believe in government again, as Thom Hartmann says...



...and I now give you the latest installment of “This Day In Doomsy History” (more or less) from 9/4/14...with all of the unseasonably hot weather out there, let’s not forget one of the biggest culprits standing in the way of the fight against climate change (here)...

....and here’s a reminder of the importance of the holiday, as well as the labor movement overall (more here , here, here, here, and a true relic is here)…



...and here is a tune for the occasion.
