Brian Tyler Cohen discusses some Texas state senator named Phil King (a Repug of course) who sponsored a bill to have the Ten Commandments displayed in public schools, and of course it passed (as well as charter schools making kids pray and study the Bible) – as noted here, this was tried in Alabama, but a law passed in that state ended up discouraging this practice, fortunately (important history lesson from Cohen on this, and more on the Lemon Test is here)...
...and Desi Lydic of The Daily Show has some fun with some recent news stories, including the fall of “Tuckums” of course, and this “Real Women of Politics” nuttiness, as well as the demise of Bed, Bath and Beyond with Roy Wood, Jr (mildly NSFW/H)...
Update 4/27/23: More on The Swanson TV Dinner Heir is here.
...and the last clip was amusing IMO when it comes to making fun of Republicans, but this is serious stuff, and that is the campaign against Montana state rep Zooey Zephyr, as Ana and Cenk of TYT tell us (more here)...
...and Sam and Emma of The Majority Report tell us that 15-vote U.S. House Speaker Repug Kevin McCarthy wants to impose a work requirement for the poors of course related to food assistance, which would screw over, among others, our veterans who the “party of Lincoln” claim to love (more here)...
...and I should note that I generally try not to pay a lot of attention to Dennis Prager since I consider him to be some of the lowest of the low-hanging fruit, but as Jesse Dollemore tells us here, it looks like Prager (in an admittedly sleepy way) seems to be saying “OH YEAH, YOU FILTHY LIB? OUR SLAVERY WAS WAY BETTER THAN MUSLIM SLAVERY! U-S-A! U-S-A!”...
...and Adrienne Lawrence of Rebel HQ informs us that Almost Silent Clarence Thomas now has a partner when it comes to financial irregularities let’s say, and that would be Neil Gorsuch, who just got flagged for doing some kind of a deal with Lawrence’s former law firm (the SCOTUS justice reported the sale of a property on his disclosure forms, but he didn’t report that the buyer was Brian Duffy of Greenberg Traurig, which frequently argues before the High Court it seems)...gee, what a shame that there’s no precedence for a SCOTUS justice being forced to resign for unethical financial behavior – oh wait, there is! Actually, this pales in comparison to the Thomas stuff, but Lawrence is right...Gorsuch should have cited that Duffy of G-T was the buyer in the transaction, and there should be SCOTUS rules about this sort of thing (particularly since Hangin’ Judge JR is going to blow off the Senate Judiciary Committee again as noted here..all of which lends credence to this IMO, and yes, I know the prospects are bleak on that one)...
...and Kyle Kulinski gives us the results of some poll telling us that a fraction of the Repug base wants to fight “woke” ideology more than protect Social Security and Medicare cuts, which, to me, means that these people are too damn stoo-pid for their own bleeping good (I thought this was a pretty good analysis from Kyle, particularly on Guv #DeathSantis – yeah, compared to Our Ochre Abomination, the head of Flori-DUUUH! is pretty much hitting the metaphorical wall from an electoral point of view, but Kulinski loses me a bit by mentioning Briahna Joy Gray...and speaking of #DeathSantis, it looks the “the Mouse” has finally had enough as noted here)...
...and RIP Harry Belafonte, legendary actor and singer (I guess "all-around performer" would cover it) and, IMO, one of the greatest Democrats who ever lived (more here and here).
