Brian Tyler Cohen brings us this thoughtful response from Dem Texas state house rep James Talarico, making a well-reasoned speech versus yet another ridiculous bill in that state loosening gun restrictions, not long after the Allen massacre of course...and I think that nutball preacher was Greg Locke, and his rantings are par for the execrable course with him (mildly NSFW/H)...
...well, while Talarico tries to appeal to “the better angels of our nature” you might say, this video gives us three campaign ads with Republicans glorifying shooting political opponents (including that Tate Reeves ad with commentary from John, and I didn’t know about this Jim Lamon a-hole and his “tough guy” ad...yeah, including Mark Kelly whose wife was damn near murdered by a gun-wielding lunatic, and the “Crazyface Pelosi” misogyny – no bottom to this barrel indeed...and an ad with Marjorie Trailer Park Greene is included also...with Ana and Cenk on the latter two clips)...
...and I thought this was a pretty intelligent summary of our economy under Biden from David Pakman, including some factors that no president can really completely control to be honest...the most recent job numbers are pretty good considering that 15-votes McCarthy and his clown car caucus in the U.S. House keep yammering on about how everything is supposedly so bad under #46 (including African American unemployment, which seems to have rebounded), but Heaven forbid that Gym Jordan and his pals have constructive alternatives...
...and don’t look now, but “Curtsy Kyrsten” is baaack, this time to “both sides” the question of election integrity (yeah, because there’s so much dough on “the left”...I’m just rolling in it – can’t everybody tell?...sometimes it’s hard to gauge how awful Sinema truly is, I’ll admit – mildly NSFW/H)...
...and Robert Reich tells us about the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, under which states that are part of the compact would award their electoral votes to the popular vote winner in presidential elections, which sounds like a great idea, but I’m not in favor unless EVERY state joins...and yeah, I can just picture all the ways that Sen. Mr. Elaine Chao, among others, would fight this, but we shouldn’t let that deter us of course...
...and yesterday marked the 25th anniversary of the passing of Frank Sinatra.
