Monday Stuff


The Lincoln Project calls out “TNN” for that beyond-ridiculous “town hall” with the Gropenfuhrer (and I would say that Christiane Amanpour should be in charge of that network instead of that wingnut Chris Licht also based on this...I know this is a little old for the news cycle, but I think it bears repeating)...



...and Brian Tyler Cohen tells us about Dem U.S. House Rep Jasmine Crockett clapping back against (I believe) wingnut Anna Paulina Luna on the issue of D.C. crime related to the rest of this country, particularly red states (mildly NSFW/H)...



...and John and Brett Erlich of The Damage Report tell us that, apparently, Governor Bully is going to declare again for preznit on the Repug side... yeah, that figures...still amazes me how this guy was able to skate over the G.W. bridge stuff and killing the Hudson River tunnel project, along with his relentless attacks against teachers of course...



...and Ali Velshi discusses a Missouri father of a trans kid speaking out against another anti-LGBTQ bill being sponsored in that state (utter hatred on display here against these kids...didn’t see Velshi speaking with Jasmine Crockett later...he also interviews Rabbi Daniel Bogard and Debi Jackson, both parents of trans kids)...



...and Mike Figueredo brings us a a pretty long clip of Krystal Ball interviewing RFK Jr., who, as far as I’m concerned, diminishes himself every time he opens his mouth...the ’24 “candidate” says we should have “single payer private insurance” which shoots down any alleged argument...he goes on and on restating the problem of chronic disease and lousy health outcomes WITHOUT OFFERING A DAMN SOLUTION! And that answer about climate change, Davos and “totalitarianism” is straight out of la la land, and of course the anti-vax stuff is wackadoodle time also...”make it make sense” indeed – NSFW/H)...



...additionally, Chris Hayes reminds us that climate change has completely disappeared from Repug Party talking points, particularly for presidential candidates emerging for ’24 (OF COOUUURRRSE! as Cenk sez)...



...oh, and Farron Cousins informs us that 5 Repugs who once yelled about earmarks in ’21 now are lining up for them, including Marjorie Traitor Greene, Bo-Bo Boebert (who wrote a column saying they were bad), etc...Cousins is right about earmarks – you can’t judge if they’re good or bad unless you know what they’re for...if they’re for projects in your district putting people to work and/or adding economically to your district, then they’re OK...



...and RIP bassist Andy Rourke of The Smiths.
