Monday Stuff
Farron Cousins tells us about the latest nonsense from “Curtsy Kyrsten” and the reason why she decided to skip these Democratic U.S. Senate lunches, or whatever they are...Sinema is truly nuts – also, here’s the thing...if she hopes to come back to Capitol Hill as a lobbyist (which is her end game I suppose), how effective is she going to be at currying favor after she’s gotten so many of her colleagues so PO’ed at her? And I’m sure that has occurred to the funders who would consider bringing her on board, as they have with "No Corporate Tax" Pat Toomey...
...and this “Now This” clip features AOC speaking out against this “parental bill of rights” nonsense that recently passed the U.S. House, with Bri-Fi’s willing collaboration as noted here (oh, but he wanted some kind of cost-benefit analysis for this insanity...what cowardly BS; as AOC says, this is an attempt to nationalize all of the local-level garbage going on with attacking trans youth and censoring books)...
...and Ana and Cenk of TYT tells us that an Idaho hospital says it will stop labor and delivery care for babies because of the state’s abortion ban...all kinds of aspects to this story, and they’re all terrible, but here’s another one; the next time I hear “Tuckums” or one of his pals yelling about birth rates in this country declining, try reminding them of this story, as well as the cost of paying off student debt, buying a car/home, etc. (and yeah, I know it won’t register anyway with those cretins, but we have to try at a minimum...and Cenk is right about the evangelicals on this issue – another reason why I detest those people – it should be noted, though, that the Catholic Church started railing against Roe from almost the moment it was handed down)...
...and Jayar and Jackson White of Rebel HQ bring us this clip of Dem U.S. House Reps Jamie Raskin and Cori Bush pointing out that 9 of the top 10 states with the highest gun deaths where there are weak gun laws are run by Republicans...
...and in keeping with that subject, Lawrence O’Donnell brings us a report from the Texas Tribune saying the cops were afraid of the AR-15, which confirms what we already suspected I know...this Bogdanski guy should be criminally prosecuted IMO for his cowardice, along with the rest of them (to say nothing of Dubya and the Republican congressional lickspittles who allowed the assault weapons ban to lapse in 2004 – O’Donnell’s quiet outrage is completely called for IMO and utterly commendable, and comparing this weapon of death to a machine gun is completely apt)...
...and happy belated 75th birthday to Steven Tyler of Aerosmith – maybe too easy of a choice here given the prior two videos, but here it is anyway.
Update 1: It looks like it's time not to politicize gun violence again (here).
Update 2: Yep. Ogles should be shamed at a minimum - of course, he REALLY should be voted out of office next year (here).
