FINALLY! (more here – in this NBC News report, anchor Lester Holt speaks with network legal analyst Danny Cevallos...and while it would be satisfying to see Combover Caligula detained immediately in a cell, which is completely what he deserves, I realize that won’t happen, though it should be obvious that he’s a flight risk so he should have to surrender his passport...by the way, on an unrelated note, posting could be iffy next week)...
...and in case somehow you need to be reminded how Our Ochre Abomination rose to his level of prominence (aside from that stoo-pid "Apprentice" TV show), David Pakman gives us this clip of Fix Noise CEO Suzanne Scott berating her people via Email to STOP TELLING THE TRUTH ABOUT TRUMP! OUR ELDERLY, RETIRED BOOMER AUDIENCE IS GETTING BIG MAD!!!...
...and Brian Tyler Cohen tells us about Marjorie Traitor Greene’s comments about the Nashville mass shooting (oh, “a good guy with a gun” showed up all right, AFTER SIX PEOPLE WERE ALREADY KILLED INCLUDING 3 KIDS! And saying that in front of Jared Moskowitz, the Dem rep from the district where the Parkland massacre took place, was a particularly tone deaf move, as per usual with her)...
...and David Doel tells us that “Bo-Bo Boebert” was apparently looking for some kind of a “gotcha” moment in a recent hearing with a member of D.C. government on the alleged issue of “public urination,” but was proven completely wrong again...assuming she knows how to hire competent people (which is probably a stretch), she needs staffers to prepare her for these hearings who actually know what they’re doing, since she plainly doesn’t know that herself...funny that she didn’t ask about some kind of a statute about a spouse exposing himself at a bowling alley...
...and Thom Hartmann tells us about paid off politicians and judges/justices and how that “trickles down,” if you will, towards making our lives more dangerous, particularly when it comes to guns (looking at Citizens United to legalize corporate bribery, of course, which had a hand in this)...Thom goes back to the ruinous Reagan years yet again (more grim, grisly gun death stats...I know Lawrence O’Donnell recently laid the blame for the assault weapons ban expiring at the feet of Dubya and the ’04 Republican congress, but I think that bears repeating...and yeah, call 202-224-3121; damn right)...
...and Cenk and Ana of TYT give us their take on another recent train derailment spewing dangerous chemicals, this time in Minnesota...I get tired of these two beating up on the Dems, but unfortunately, they have a point about “Mayor Pete” on this; sadly, I’m distinctly unimpressed with the response of the Biden administration to the East Palestine, OH disaster and its aftermath (and yeah, they’re right about this “parliamentarian” business too...hell, during Bush/Cheney, they FIRED the damn parliamentarian in the Senate when that person didn’t do what they wanted...and I think the Biden response on this and some other recent matters has more than a little bit to do with this...one more thing; I question David Sirota’s punditry, but never his reporting)...
...and RIP Mark Russell, topical song parodist on news/political stuff...I watched him from back in the day because I thought he was clever plenty of times, though he probably was a little too chummy with some of the folks he lampooned...he came from an era where we still had the luxury of laughing at conservatives before they managed to take over our politics, media etc. and spend every waking moment trying to utterly ruin our lives...here, he performs “The Line of Death Bar and Grille” from about ’86, based on this...I’m sure You Tube will find a way to yank this clip shortly, FWIW...
...and here's a cool new tune for the kids to help us usher in the weekend.
