Tuesday Stuff


I apologize for being a little late to the party, as it were, on the mess with Kristen Welker taking over on “Meet The Press” and allowing Our Ochre Abomination to (as usual) lie with virtual impunity; this is partly because I was waiting for other folks to weigh in, as Beau does here (and more from my A-list “betters” is here and here...it’s all about rating and views/clicks and ad dollars, and #45 apparently still helps with all of that despite the fact that he’s utterly allergic to the truth)...



Update: I know Keith Olbermann has spoken almost reverentially abot Russert (speaking of "Meet The Press"), and K.O.'s entitled to his "take" of course, but I think we need to remember this too.

...and David Pakman tells us about President Biden making a deal with Iran to unfreeze assets for the release of 5 U.S. citizens detained by that outlaw country, and of course the wingnuts lose what’s left of their minds...



...and Rayy Vana and Nina Turner of The Damage Report tell us that Oho Repugs are trying AGAIN to get an anti-abortion ballot measure passed, and this time, they’re trying to add language to confuse voters even more (yeah, really trying to whip up that “anti-baby” voting bloc; I swear, do Repugs pass ANYTHING besides anti-abortion bills and tax cuts? And Frank LaRose is doing this stuff, by the way, to help mobilize his base since he may end up taking on Sherrod Brown for the U.S. Senate from Ohio next year, and if there is EVER somebody out there who deserves our support, it’s Brown)...



...and David Balaban of Rebel HQ tells us about a woman holding an anti-abortion sign who was questioned about the Old Testament prophet Jeremiah, and as a result, ended up too stumped to continue the discussion, along with Our Treasonous Lying Fraud Of A Tiny-Handed Former *Preznit and “executing babies” (and no, that definitely isn’t a “thing”)..by the way, the catchphrase “abortion on demand” has been around forever, and it has ALWAYS been used to whip up the wingnuts into full froth (not that surprising, I realize)...



...and Kyle Kulinski tells us that the Repugs keep fighting Biden on weed (and once again, I’m in favor of full decriminalization, but for it to be legalized, I think there should be a bunch of caveats, but that’s just me I know)...good call by Kyle to mention regulating the THC content; also, James Lankford is a Repug U.S. Senator and Pete Sessions is a Repug U.S. House rep, just to make that absolutely clear, though they’re both awful...



...and today is the 50th anniversary of the death of legendary country rocker Gram Parsons; The Eagles wrote this tune in Parsons’ honor.
