Thom Hartmann asks if white supremacy and oligarch wealth is all the GOP stands for...If you have to ask the question, I’m sure you know the answer...interesting history on the cotton gin prior to the Civil War, and I hope I’m being only hyperbolic to think that we could be heading for those days again, but Thom makes a pretty damn good case that we are, especially with not much push-back, though there is some from Team “D” to be fair (as somebody else once said, the fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves – for electing these frauds, I mean)...
...and Mike Figueredo of Humanist Report discusses the wingnuts beating their chests about a “red wave,” when, in reality, if they DO win, it will be because of gerrymandering in Florida and New York, which was allowed when President Manchin and Vice President Sinema killed the John Lewis Voting Act...NSFW/H (I’m letting these goofballs have more of their say in this clip than I would normally, but I think it’s hilarious for all of these people, including Baby Ben, to refuse to chastise their voters in any way whatsoever, though of course Shapiro can’t resist being snarky towards Arizona election officials, when those people should be praised for ensuring that our elections are fair despite the howls of Trumpist outrage)...
...and this is more reporting from TYT on ballot initiatives protecting abortion rights, notably in Kentucky and Montana (Ana Kasparian, Aishwarya Nag Choudhury, and Kate Bettino discuss)..
...and Farron Cousins says that he’ll be happy never having to hear of Mehmet (“CALL ME DOCTOR, DAMMIT!”) Oz again...we’ll see (as somebody said, Everything Trump Touches Dies...unfortunately, though, I think Boebert is going to make it back into the House, last I heard...can’t imagine the mind-numbing stupidity of supporting this person, and hopefully I never will)...
...and this next-to-latest video from Second Thought tells us How Capitalism Exploits Disasters, which may be timely with Hurricane Nicole bearing down on Ron #DeathSantis-stan (latest is here) – “Capitalism produces hierarchies of power, and that power entrenches these hierarchies.”...damn straight!...
...and this More Perfect Union video tells us about strippers forming a union at the Star Garden strip club (good for them)...
...and with workforce issues in mind, I now give you the latest installment of “This Day In Doomsy History” (more or less) from 11/14/08, which is some more snark aimed at corporations exploiting their workforce to prevent ANY possibly of the Employee Free Choice Act being passed and signed into law...it made it through the House awhile back, but died in the Senate, as you might expect (wonder if it could be re-introduced, maybe by a certain newly-elected U.S. Senator from PA?)...
...and today would have been the 95th birthday of Mose Allison.
