Jesse Dollemore tells us about Repug U.S. Senatorial Mistake Tommy Tuberville sniveling over his holding up military promotions because the Repugs “support the troops”...and oh yeah, let’s have “Tubs” remind us once again how he was a quitter of a college football coach with that mural on the wall THAT HAS NOT ONE DAMN THING TO DO WITH REPRESENTING THE CONSTITUENTS OF HIS STATE! And it’s a typical bitch move to basically say, “I helped get the Secretary of the Navy confirmed, and this is how he pays me back”...the life forms in Alabama who sent this putz to our nation’s capital must be sooo proud...and I’m sure they are (more fool them...and I should note for Jesse’s sake that Louie Gohmert basically set his political career on fire in Texas, which was no small feat, and is no longer in the U.S. House...and more Tuberville idiocy concerning our military is here - keep digging that hole, Coach!...and good job by Jesse to make the underwear ad a little amusing IMO)...
...and sticking with the “party of Lincoln,” Jayar and David Shuster inform us of these cretins in Llano, Texas (of course) who have introduced a new ordinance to allow police and bystanders to arrest or file a lawsuit against anyone suspected of traveling on highways to leave the state to get an abortion (more here)...
...and Kyle Kulinski tells us about Mango Mussolini illegally selling mugshot merch, and it turns out that the dough he raised could conceivably be used for long-overdue maintenance to the Fulton Country jail, as Kyle explains (which would be ironic beyond belief...I have a feeling, though, knowing the Gropenfuhrer, that that $7.1 million amount raised from selling his image is an inflated number, though maybe it is legit...trust but verify, as somebody once said)...
...and I have a lot to say about this next item, so please bear with me – David Doel discusses an ad for President Biden to be aired on “60 Minutes”...and yeah, I’m not saying to ignore the CNN poll Doel mentions, but I would take it with more than a grain of salt; Biden has work to do I know,, but I’m not sure how many people have really focused on this stuff yet...also, I have to admit getting a little tired of these “takes” from Doel and others like, “oh, Biden caved to Manchinema so he did nothing”...what the hell do you call the Inflation Reduction Act, the CHIPS Act and the Infrastructure bill? And look who’s fighting Biden on student debt relief...IT’S THE DAMN STINKING REPUBLICANS, AS USUAL!! And I know Doel cites that list from The Lever, which is David Sirota’s outfit, and Sirota will never be satisfied that Biden isn’t Bernie Sanders (yes, I supported Sanders too, but he lost and Biden won...can we please freaking more on??!!)...also, this should make a big difference to younger voters...and as far as putting pressure on Manchin and Sinema goes, how about this? Yes, “Curtsy Kyrsten” went “independent” and is from a purple state when the politics are a little trickier, but West Virginia where Manchin is from is red as hell...idiot bloggers like me can call out Manchin, and he deserves it, but when it comes to realpolitik, Manchin could yet switch to the “R” team to screw over the Dems in a fit of pique, which means a hell of a lot less getting done in “the world’s greatest deliberative body” than we have now, so yes, unfortunately, at times, Dems have to play Manchin’s game...at a certain point, we need to stop dumping on the politicians and instead point out what idiots voters are who keep sending back the “R” party to power even though all they do is sh*t on anyone who isn’t their funders (and by the way, this tells us what an utter joke that poll by “the most trusted name in news” truly is...it skews almost 60 percent in favor of the Repugs!)...
...and Sam and Emma of The Majority Report discuss “Apartheid Clyde” threatening to sue the ADL over the failure of the “X/bird app” under King Elon I – the ADL criticized the lack of content moderation under Musk, which got his shorts in a knot, and that apparently led to this current dustup...I’m not the biggest fan of the ADL either, but this looks like still more avoidance by somebody alleged to be some kind of well-moneyed genius who in reality is just some thin-skinned prima donna who has made a career out of “falling upward,” as it were (and I thought this was an interesting related item)...
Update: More here and here.
...and Mike Papantonio and Farron Cousins tell us about a complaint filed by the NLRB over Amazon’s harassment of its workforce trying to unionize...I give Jeff Bezos slightly more credit for brains than Musk, but aside from that, everything I said about the person in charge of the “X/bird app” applies to the guy who made a penis-shaped rocket that he sent flying into space...
...and I now give you the latest installment of “This Day In Doomsy History” (more or less) from 9/7/13...I didn’t get this in for Labor Day, but it’s definitely apropos for that and just about any other occasion really (and in consideration of the prior video also of course...more here)...
...and RIP Gary Wright – he blew up all over the place of course with “The Dream Weaver,” an LP (you can Google it) which has a whole bunch of good tunes, though I always thought he deserved a lot of credit for “The Light of Smiles” too, which includes this number...he made some memorable music with the band Spooky Tooth also; I think any appreciation of Wright should include that as well.
