David Doel tells us about more info seeping out as to the potential reasons why “Tuckums” was given the boot over at Fix Noise, all of which are interesting I have to admit...my guess is that it was “accumulated offenses,” which is a phrase I first heard in high school when the teacher wanted to give you demerits but he/she couldn’t come up with a reason why, and the Dominion lawsuit (which isn’t the end of the legal problems for that network, let’s not forget) is a big “offense” for all concerned (more here...also, I thought this was a really good video from Chris Hayes about right-wing media, including Carlson's former network of course, contributing to fear and panaoia, but YouTube won't let me embed it here, which is typically stoo-pid)...
...and it seems like we can’t get through a week any more without some occurrence of ridiculous hateful behavior from either Marjorie Trailer Park Greene or Bo-Bo Boebert, and in this case, the former berates AFT teachers’ union head Randi Weingarten over her personal life as a stepmother and trying to keep our kids from dying during the pandemic...yeah, as Mike Figueredo says, I guess Greene thinks kids were sitting at home bored and just said, “Oh, I think I’ll transition”...what a numbskull Greene is (NSFW/H at the very end - Lesley Stahl should feel like an utter fool for legitimizing this guttural harpie)...
...and Thom Hartmann had what I thought was an interesting idea here given all of the SCOTUS garbage with Almost Silent Clarence Thomas and now Gorsuch, and that was to require that any rulings involving questions of constitutionality be unanimous, like what happens in Belgium, France, Italy, Germany and Spain, which would knock the High Court of Hangin’ Judge JR off its damn pedestal, though it might also tie the hands of a liberal SCOTUS majority if we ever see that again – personally, I’d be happy with expanding the court to 13 justices and imposing term limits, to say nothing of attaching criminal penalties for the types of non-disclosure Thomas is guilty of with his best bud Harlan Crow...
Update: And it looks like Hangin' Judge JR has some 'splaining to do also, you might say (here).
...and this clip from More Perfect Union tells us that the residents of El Paso, Texas are trying to fight polluters with a “climate charter” (more here – also NSFW/H at the end, but a lot of important stuff before that)...
...and keeping with the theme of how garbage Republican policies affect everyday people, Desi Lydic of The Daily Show tells how folks in Kentucky really feel about anti-trans, anti-abortion and anti-gun control laws (also mildly NSFW/H)...
....and if I’m going to include this tune, I’d better hurry up, so here it is.
