Monday Stuff


Chris Hayes makes what I think is a damn persuasive argument that we’re pretty much already living in the world of the Gropenfuhrer and his argument of using SEAL Team 6 to “take out” political opponents...good for Hayes to point out that threats of physical violence by ANYONE should DEFINITELY NOT be acceptable, whether it’s by Our Treasonous Orange Pustule or ANYBODY ELSE...



...and as a bit of proof to the prior claim, it looks like Ohio state representative Beth Lear is the latest wingnut (ette?) to publicize punishing kids with some made-up rationalization based on her interpretation of the Gospel, complete with drowning as a punishment...John and Brett Erlich of The Damage Report give us the gory details (and I completely agree that quoting the “good book” shouldn’t more or less be a “get out of jail free” card when it comes to violent threats - more here)...



...but we can’t let “the Buckeye State” get all the bigoted “glory,” can we? We need to “share the wealth” with Tennessee too; Jesse Dollemore tells us about some idiot lawmaker in that state named Gino Bulso who has introduced legislation to ban pride flags from classrooms (mildly NSFW/H)...



...and that execrable bottom feeder Matt Walsh says it’s “gay” to buy your Valentine’s Day gift early for your wife/girlfriend (assuming males in his audience HAVE girlfriends), or something (taking a break from terrorizing children’s hospitals for allegedly performing top/bottom surgery on kids, which isn’t a thing)...I think Emma of TMR nails this pretty well (very NSFW/H at the end)...



...and for MLK day, I think it's appropriate to revisit this speech from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. at Barratt Middle School in Philadelphia on October 26. 1967, with the them of “What Is Your Life’s Blueprint?"....



Update 1: An important note is here (here here, and here also).

...and this tune is apropos for the holiday also.



Update 2: And oh yeah, there's this...
Update 3: Well said (also this).
