David Doel tells us about the Keystone Pipeline leaking for 23rd time in 16 years (and it’s hard to find a more clueless take on this than the one from The Mouse Network, I’ll admit...”what does this mean for gas prices?” And yes, it looks like Biden will continue to get attacked forrr-evah! over cancelling Keystone XL, even though that posed a grave a risk to our environment...and in terms of jobs lost, the overwhelming majority would be temporary anyway; as noted here, the project would have created 50 permanent jobs at most...very mildly NSFW/H)...
...and Jayar and Jessica Burbank of Rebel HQ tell us about incoming House Speaker Kevin McCarthy yammering “THEY LEFT AN AMERICAN BEHIND!” in response to the story of Brittney Griner’s release, and saying that on Fix Noise of course (meaning Paul Whelan got “left behind” in case there was any doubt) and oh yeah, “Tuckums” and “Blow ‘Em Up” Bolton both chime in also, predictably and wrongly of course, and we also get the reality perspective from Paul Whelan’s brother (and yeah, I get it that Jayar is being totally “tongue in cheek” here towards Burbank...good point about Griner going to Russia to make money because WNBA players are underpaid relative to their male counterparts)...
...and speaking of useless U.S. House Republicans, Jesse Dollemore tells us about an article on Talking Points Memo saying that 34 congresspeople plotted with Trump to overturn the '20 election (and of course, if it involves wingnut bad behavior, that has to include misspelling also, with the focus on goofball U.S. House rep Ralph Norman of South Carolina, along with Brian Babin, Andrew Clyde and of course Jim Jordan...and what would any of this be without “Goober” Gohmert)...
...and related to the recent Q nightclub shooting, Joy Reid tells us that 306 bills have been passed in state legislatures targeting trans people...gee, more than anything to do with our infrastructure, women’s health care, the environment/climate crisis, economic equality, fair voting, common sense gun laws...attacking “teh gay” was more important than all of that, huh? (with D.J. ‘Shangela’ Pierce and Bob The Drag Queen)...
...and here are more seasonal selections.
