Friday Stuff


Mike Figueredo tells us his “take” that ’24 could be shaping up to be another awful year when it comes to trans rights, explicitly targeting adults (not even bothering to go through the pretense of “protecting kids” any more...and it’s particularly cruel and repellent to basically treat sex offenders better than innocent trans adults as Figueredo explains, and the “chef’s kiss” of BS is finding a way to bring Project 2025 into the picture...and I gave Mike DeWine credit for vetoing that awful Ohio bill earlier, but leave it to a Repug to take something good like that and then utterly destroy it...and more related cruelty is taking place in Indiana and Flori-DUUUH!...NSFW/H)...



...and speaking of pointless performative cruelty...well, we absolutely can’t forget about Texas, now can we...according to this clip, Greg Abbott went onto the Dana Loesch program and said, well, we can’t shoot immigrants, or else Biden would prosecute us for murder, or words to that effect...uuh, yeah, and SO SHOULD ANY OTHER THINKING, FEELING HUMAN BEING WITH A SOUL AND A CONSCIENCE, YOU HOMICIDAL GHOUL!!! John and Brett Erlich discuss...and yeah, I understand the Jon Lovitz quote, but though Biden admittedly has a lot of work in front of him, I don’t see him losing to Our Treasonous Self-Absorbed Delusional Man-Child (but again, there’s lots of time until November and much to do)...GREAT point to remind us that there indeed were plenty of overseas conflicts under Biden’s predecessor, but he was probably wolfing down Cokes and Big Macs while watching Fix Noise instead of manning his post as Commander in Chief while all of it was going on.

And Abbott is allegedly a “Christian”; if he’s supposed to be an avatar of morality, then I’m a nuclear physicist...



Update 1/14/24: More monstrous cruelty from Abbott is here.

...and since it’s Friday, I find that I have some items from the prior week that I’ll admit that I’m a little late on – my bad; here is one of those, with Our Treasonous, Tiny-Handed Orange Pestilence blaming Lincoln’s negotiating skills for The Civil War (and I have a feeling that Mango Mussolini is the only person on the planet who actually believes that), as well as that typically cruel, ridiculous dig at John McCain not being able to lift his arms because he was beaten to a pulp when he was a prisoner of war in Vietnam (and that annoying sniffing of his!)...and yes, to Sam and Emma’s point, if God forbid the “R” party gets power, they will indeed blow up “Obamacare” and replace it with absolutely nothing...



...and as long as we’re talking about former President Fergus Laing, I should include this clip also where David Pakman informs us that top EU official Thierry Breton said that #45 would never help Europe if it were attacked...yeah, we know what Combover Caligula thinks of NATO, so I guess we shouldn’t be completely shocked, should we? And kudos to Pakman for explaining exactly what happened with the Iran nuclear deal; they abided by the terms, but we’re the ones who blew it up...



...and I’m a little delinquent on this also; Ana of TYT discusses a subcontractor for Boeing (Spirit AeroSystems) who apparently failed to address quality control issues which may have led to a defect on the Alaska Airlines plane where the panel blew off in mid-flight – video also notes the reprisals taken by Spriit AeroSystems against employees trying to ensure quality and safety...



...and Thom Hartmann relates a tale or two here of earlier days abroad and how he more or less “greased the palm” of some people out of necessity, drawing an apt IMO comparison to some of the gamesmanship of our gangster, white-collar corpocracy in this country...



...and David Shuster of Rebel HQ tells us about Hunter Biden showing up for James Comer’s ridiculous hearing on...yeah, you guessed it, HUNTER FREAKING BIDEN, who watched Repug idiots like Nancy Mace and Marjorie Traitor Greene make even bigger fools of themselves (and kudos once again to Jamie Raskin and Jared Moskowitz for making short work of these assclowns...I honestly don’t want to know how f’d up you would have to be to even consider voting for Mace or Greene, let alone actually doing it)...



...and here’s something to help us rock into the weekend – hope it’s a good one for all.
