(By the way, I don’t have anything particularly important to add about the terrible injury to Damar Hamlin of the Buffalo Bills, except to hope and pray for his full recovery...and oh yeah, this too.)
John I., Cenk and Jordan Uhl tell us about Mango Mussolini’s taxes getting released AT LONG LAST (and I agree with a lot of this, but I take offense at Cenk calling people at the IRS “cowards”...I believe John is the one who made the point about how grossly understaffed the agency is; they simply don’t have the resources to go after Our Ochre Abomination and the rich the way they should, and whenever a staffing increase is proposed, every Republican and simpatico keyboard knucklehead in existence starts losing their shit about “OMIGOD 87,000 NEW IRS AGENTS!!”...not quite sure why they hacked off the end of this clip the way they did...more here)...
...and one of the Gropenfuhrer’s pals is this assclown Bernie Marcus who is a founder of Home Depot; Marcus tells us what he thinks is killing Americans’ motivation to work, allegedly, and it’s...wait for it!...”socialism” (NSFW/H)...good job by Kyle Kulinski to work in graphics and context to support his arguments (and I would really like to see Marcus get forced to follow around people working 2-3 jobs, including some as Uber, Door Dash and Grub Hub drivers, to get some kind of a goddamn clue, and I’m sure a few of them work at Home Depot also...and I know Ana K. touched on the skyrocketing CEO pay thing already)...
...and Farron Cousins gives us his take on trying to bring back the Fairness Doctrine, which (along with the equal time requirement) once ruled network newscasts before the cables and everything else took over; like Cousins, I haven’t thought about this issue in a long time, and I found myself reluctantly agreeing with him...also, a problem with trying to bring it back isn’t just a matter of trying to pass one-size-fits-all legislation (and good luck with that), but The Sainted Ronnie R and his FCC heads Mark Fowler and Dennis Patrick made sure the doctrine was abolished in court also, so there would be legal battles for sure over trying to revive it (more here and here, and I definitely agree with Cousins about Thom Hartmann)...
...and David Pakman tells us that “all hat, no cattle” Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is facing ANOTHER power plant emergency, also under the completely useless watch of ERCOT...but don’t let that interfere with Abbott busing immigrants all over the place at a cost of at least $12 mil to Texas taxpayers...
...and I know I included a clip on New Year’s Eve of a productive congress and presidential administration under President Obama with total Democratic control, and here’s a clip from Rachel Maddow listing all of the accomplishments of yet another instance of the entire federal government run by the “D” team under Biden...really makes you wonder why in God’s name any voter with a brain would want to deviate from that, but sadly, we are where we are...
...and RIP drummer Fred White of Earth, Wind and Fire.
