Thursday Stuff


John of The Damage Report lets us know about the oral arguments that our thoroughly compromised SCOTUS conducted today in the matter of Our Ochre Abomination potentially being removed from the ballot in Colorado for the election this fall (with KBJ getting a little pushy with a Trumpster lawyer...boy, is John ever right about the cowardice on display today, and I’m not surprised to hear the wingnut justices trying to change the subject of whether or not 1/6 was an insurrection – I think anyone with a brain realized that THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT IT WAS – but I realize that “anyone with a brain” excludes 45...I’ll wait to hear what folks like Laurence Tribe have to say about this, but if I were to guess, I think the SCOTUS plan is not to rule on Trump’s eligibility for the election and not to let ANYONE ELSE rule on that either)...



...and Lawrence O’Donnell interviews Dem U.S. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse on Almost Silent Clarence Thomas and his laughably pathetic tax problems, which would truly have landed the rest of us likely in the gray bar hotel or permanent indebtedness at a minimum...more on Whitehouse’s legislation to end the thoroughly corrupt practice of billionaires reaping tax benefits from donations to dark money groups is here (have to admit that the ultra-wealthy making donations pre-tax as opposed to after-tax like the rest of us who contribute is truly the cherry on the icing on top of this sh*t sundae)...



...and Trae Crowder lets us know that the D.C. Circuit Court ruled that Dementia J. Trump actually DOESN’T have immunity to do every damn thing he wants...color me shocked (NSFW/H...and OK, I’ll allow a little bit of a plug for Toby Keith, but not much)...



...and Jesse Dollemore gives us his take on #45 telling Maria Bartiromo that President Xi Jinping of China will be responsible for a terror attack if Biden gets back in...yeah, he’s paying terrorists $50K a head to cross our border and do such a dark deed...but oh, Tangerine Palpatine got along GREAT with China, didn’t he?...as usual, they want us scared and not using the brains God gave us to realize how utterly full of fertilizer they are...



...and I now give you the latest installment of “This Day In Doomsy History” from 2/8/17 – Thom Hartmann tells us about the plot to attack peace-loving Muslims in an upstate New York community, egged on by “pastor” Robert Doggart, among other despicable life forms – kudos to Dean Obeidallah for reporting on this horror show (here)...so OF COOUURRSSE Kurt Schlichter at clownhall.com tries some misdirection and blames “the left” instead with his eliminationist garbage, written mainly for views and clicks (oh, and if innocent people end up getting killed, I guess that’s just the ”price of doing business” as far as Schlichter is concerned)..



...and RIP Neil Kirby McMillan, Jr.(aka Mojo Nixon)...God, they’re dropping like flies.
