John and Francesca of The Damage Report bring us the latest on the most recent gun carnage in this country in Nashville, Tennessee...oh, and let’s hear about all the wingnut clutching of pearls in response to White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre who “goes there” on this issue (here), as well she should (and let's not forget that Republican governor Bill Lee of Tennessee signed "permitless carry" legislation, over the objections of law enforcement as noted here)...
...and I didn’t want to let the latest Trumpian criminal insanity fall through the metaphorical cracks; I know it’s a little redundant to say “oh, he had another crazy rally of his,” but to do so in Waco, TX on the 30th anniversary of the Branch Davidian raid is truly a special kind of evil, as well as showing footage of 1/6 during the national anthem, as Jesse Dollemore explains (and here is a link to Kathleen Belew’s book; I’ll plan to follow up on that...mildly NSFW/H)...
...and in case anybody thinks that somehow the “party of Lincoln” has freed itself from the grip of Mango Mussolini, Farron Cousins tells us that U.S. House Republicans are trying to get a totally unconstitutional law passed preventing the states from investigating Our Treasonous Tiny-Handed Former Chief Executive...and OF COURSE Gym Jordan is involved (yep, fighting big government overreach yet again...removing my tongue from my cheek as I say that)...
...and this from More Perfect Union tells us that, apparently, King Elon I got everything he wanted for this new factory of his in Texas, including the right to dump 140K gallons of wastewater PER DAY into the Colorado River as noted here, along with abusing the hell out of his workers (a great argument for unionizing the shop IMO)...
...and Joy Reid bring us an NBC News report on the death of Irvo Otieno in a psychiatric hospital in Virginia (more here – definitely not a rush to judgment from yours truly...I try to be careful about criminal justice stuff overall, with guns as an exception as noted above, because of the presumption of innocence, all facts not being in, etc., but I’m including this clip because somebody needs to figure out just what the hell happened here)...
...and happy 75th birthday to keyboardist John Evan of Jethro Tull.
