Farron Cousins brings us the story of Arkansas governor Sarah Huckabilly Sanders deciding to take health care away from 78,000 kids in under a year by kicking them off Medicaid – oh yes, go kicking and screaming about “Dark Brandon”; he doesn’t run your punk ass state...you allegedly do...
...and David Shuster of Rebel HQ tells us about St. Louis cops who crashed a vehicle into a gay bar and then arrested the bar owner for supposedly putting a hand on a cop, though that is being contested (the officer allegedly made a homophobic slur)...and there’s also a video of reporter Jesse Blackburn in PA being accosted by a cop for doing nothing wrong, as far as we can see (Blackburn reported on a case in a public area, but the local constable got in his face anyway...I didn’t see the clip of the break-in by the cops in Connecticut)...
...and Sam Seder of The Majority Report speaks with Ari Tolany, research consultant for Women for Weapons Trade Transparency; they discuss the piece Tolany wrote for In These Times on “How Israel Got an Endless Supply of U.S.-Made Smart Bombs”...the amount of munitions we’ve sent to that country and continue to send is jaw-dropping...and I know this is a broken record, but so much of the garbage that currently afflicts us can indeed be traced back to The Sainted Ronnie R, who made sure Israel started getting these precision-guided munitions in return for pulling out of Lebanon (and I would say that the reporting on this stuff is “deliberately opaque” also)...
...and here’s another clip I meant to get to previously; John of The Damage Report, with Ramesh Srinivasan and Mondale Robinson, tell us about the wingnuts losing what’s left of their minds over a “Nutcracker” presentation by Dr. Jill Biden at the White House...there actually was a time in this country when perpetual outrage over every little thing wasn’t being manufactured endlessly; the person primarily responsible for this now as far as I’m concerned, more than anyone else, is Roger Ailes...I don’t know of course what his fate in the great beyond is for doing this, but I can’t imagine that it’s anything good...
...and I'm continuing to work my way down the list of seasonal tunes with these selections.
