Thursday Stuff

Mark Joseph Stern of Slate speaks with Sam and Emma of The Majority Report about Biden trying to do a workaround on abortion bans, focusing on Idaho and arguing that federal law pre-empts state law, which our renegade SCOTUS is going to look at, apparently – God help us...Stern mentions Kate Cox of Texas and alludes to other potential calamitous rulings from our theocrats in robes, though they may indeed deny immunity to “Tangerine Palpatine” (like that new one)...



...and speaking of the High Court of Hangin’ Judge JR, it looks like they may get effectively rid of governmental regulations which are the underpinnings of everything out government does basically to keep us safe (ugh), as Robert Reich explains...



...and I thought this was an interesting commentary from Beau on the need to stay informed...he gets around to Israel/Palestine at about 5:30, and boy is he right about needing to know “the ingredients for peace”...”humans are creatures of habit, even if the habits are horrible” indeed...



...and speaking of people with horrible habits, Farron Cousins (not him) informs us that voters in CO-04 don’t like Bo-Bo Boebert either, which apparently is also true for her current district of CO-03 (04 is the new district where she’s running to try and stay in office), with Bo-Bo getting attacked for behavior in her Repug primary and attacked for policy-related reasons – that is, not doing a damn thing for her CO-03 constituents – by Dems in anticipation of the general election...



...and I thought this item was genuinely amusing; it looks like Billo The Clown is BIG MAD that, after cheering the book bans in Flori-DUUH! under Ron #DeathSantis, it looks like 2 O’Reilly screeds ended up on the banned list (Killing Jesus and Killing Reagan, apparently)...way too funny (NSFW/H)...



...and I guess, given this clip, the update to the slogan by Horace Greeley (you can Google him) would be “go west, young woman,” – nice to see some sun and sky, even if it’s only in a video for now.
