Jesse Dollemore is BACK! Best wishes for a full recovery from his cancer surgery...this video also includes some commentary on the wingnut response to the Paul Pelosi attack (and yes, as far as I’m concerned, this is a result of the 1/6 insurrection...and we know that Fix Noise is the media wing of the Republican Party, but do you HONESTLY BELIEVE there would have been a measured response from that guttersnipe Bret Baier if, say, this alleged person had broken into the home of #MidnightMoscowMitch and attacked Elaine Chao with a hammer, to the point where SHE was the one who required brain surgery? And no, I’m not condoning violence AGAINST ANYONE...and ESPECIALLY not Dollemore and Brittany Page, who are doing tremendous work).
(As a personal aside, I just want to note that I attended my nephew’s championship football game against Pennridge last Sunday in Quakertown; he played for the Lenape Valley Indians. Both teams played exceptionally well and should be proud, but Lenape Valley lost on the very last play of the game, which was pretty much a “Hail Mary” pass – heartbreaking for the kids, I realize, but I’m sure the coaches were encouraging – they absolutely should have been anyway. I’m just pointing this out because I had the occasion to drive all over the vicinity to get to the field. It’s a beautiful area, but I absolutely could not live there. I know it’s bedrock Republican to the point of a religion - probably like youth football also – and also to the point where you’re supposed to shut up, get in line and don’t you dare ask a question about it. This was reinforced with some billboards urging anyone who viewed them to “Vote Republican, For Freedom,” with a portrait of an American eagle painted onto the display (God, country and the whole nine yards). There were also plenty of oversized message boards for Doug Mastriano, which fit the profile, sadly.
The people who ingest that stuff like a drug will have to be dragged kicking and screaming into the cold light of day, but as far as I’m concerned, that’s the future they chose for themselves.)
...and John and Maz Jobrani of The Damage Report tell us more about Paul Pelosi’s (alleged) attacker David DePape (and no disrespect to John, but unfortunately, I think he’s right; after horrible stunts like this, I’m sure there will be more than a few people who will say, “You know what? Screw it. I’m not going to run for elected office because of this madness.” And that is also terrible, and absolutely the fault of wingnut Republicans, which is almost a redundant term at this point...and yeah, I’m not the least bit surprised by this either, or this unfortunately)...
...and as far as the head of Not Your Father’s Republican Party is concerned, Farron Cousins tells us that the fraud trial for the Trump org went “off the rails” almost immediately, so much so that their lawyer’s opening statement had to be stopped by the judge and the jury sent out of the room...why should I be surprised at this point?...
...and turning briefly to world stuff, David Doel tells us that LULA WINS! In Brazil over Trumpist wingnut Jair Bolsonaro in a close election (and the last I heard on this was that Bolsonaro was actually going to help with the transition and not be a whining little bitch yelling about election fraud like Our Ochre Abomination...and yeah, I think, somewhere, Michael Brooks is smiling)...
...and if you’re looking for something inspirational for our own elections next Tuesday, I offer the following (from here)...
...and happy 75th birthday to Dave Pegg of Jethro Tull (the '80s version) and Fairport Convention.
