Wednesday Stuff
Even by lowball Trumpist standards (for lack of a better way to put it), it appears that Our Treasonous Orange Pestilence has put his foot in it as noted here; we’re reminded of this by The Lincoln Project since apparently the @DNC, @DSCC, or @DCCC are too goddamn timid to do it themselves (more here)...
...and David Shuster tells us that it looks like Gym Jordan’s worst dream has come true, and that is the fact that about 230 lawsuits from former Ohio State wrestlers (from the days when Jordan was an OSU wrestling coach) will be allowed to proceed...c’est dommage, scumbag...
...and with temperatures rising in parts of the country, Beau tells us about the importance of allowing time to get ourselves acclimated before we venture out and risk exposing ourselves to what could be awful health risks (and speaking of excessive heat, isn’t this typical for that cowardly weasel Greg Abbott in “the land of the yellow rose”?)...
...and Mike Figueredo brings us the news that Bill Maher is big mad about the media’s accurate portrayal of wackadoodle RFK Jr. (NSFW/H)...yeah, look at some of the ADD/ADHD drugs and the use of cellphones when it comes to cognitive development in teens and early twenty-somethings or whatever if you’re looking at the root causes of shootings, but overwhelmingly IT’S THE DAMN GUNS!!! And don’t get me started on Jr.’s vaccine lunacy...
...and with the last clip having to do with the media (albeit someone who has endured waaay past his expiration date IMO), I thought that was a halfway decent transition to this More Perfect Union segment about why actors are shutting down Hollywood...I’m really out of the loop when it comes to the latest movies and TV shows, including those on the streaming services, so I’m not aware of a lot of the people interviewed in this segment, but I give them credit of course for fighting the good fight...
...and Ana and Cenk of TYT tell us that the SCOTUS of Hangin’ Judge JR did the right thing on the thoroughly awful Moore v. Harper case (which they never should have heard, truth be told)...I’m sure they ruled as they did because they didn’t want to hand over power from federal courts to state legislatures, so even though their motive may not have been exactly pure, it was the right call since it would have been catastrophic had it gone the other way as Cenk and Ana tell us...tells you what kind of shape we’re in that our democracy is under attack from the people who initiated this case, and we can’t rest on our laurels because, if we know anything about the other side, it’s the fact that they’re relentless about trying to implement their utterly awful ideas or notions of governance upon us – additional stuff on this is here..
...and Farron Cousins tells us that Repug U.S. Senator Lex Luthor Scott of Flori-DUUH! said recently that “socialist and Communists” aren’t welcome...as if we would have anything to do with your lame ass state anyway...
...and this is a bit of a summer tune to help us mellow out and get over the “hump day,” hopefully.
