Mike Figueredo of The Humanist Report gives us some polling results from some group called the Public Religion Research institute, in which we find that 47% of those polled want to round up undocumented immigrants and stick them into camps; I definitely hope and pray that that poll skews towards the wingnuts to begin with, or else we really are fried as a country...and if I were to come across someone from that 22 percent Democratic group that supposedly supports this madness, I would be sorely tempted to try and inflict bodily harm on this person...I mean, it’s wrong for Repugs and independents to feel that way of course, but I’m not totally surprised by those numbers, sadly...and Figueredo is right IMO about the supine acquiescence by Dems on this issue; when the “D” team didn’t bother to push back against the “sanctuary city” demagoguery by “No Corporate Tax” Pat Toomey among others, that was the beginning of the downward slide as far as yours truly is concerned...oh, and has it occurred to the individuals polled that such Gestapo-like tactics described here would be the tip of the metaphorical spear when it comes to trying to implement Project 2025? (NSFW/H)...
...and as I contemplate what passes for the thought process displayed in the polling results in the prior clip, I cannot help but recall this moment from this great pic (and stage play) where similar fear and paranoia was also on display about 100 years ago...
...and when it comes to madness, fear and demagoguery, I can’t think of an individual who embodies that more than Bronzer Beelzebub (though Couch Boy isn’t far behind I’ll admit)...Chris Hayes brings us more on 45 wanting to be a dictator and use the military, and the completely called for response from VP Kamala Harris, with Sherrilyn Ifill, former president and director-counsel of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund...and good point to recall Special Counsel Robert Mueller and how Bill Barr ran interference for the Gropenfuhrer to make sure the latter basically didn’t get touched, ensuring that Combover Caligula would hang around politically to plague us up to this moment, and hopefully not beyond (also a good point to note that Our Ochre Abomination has been learning how to wield power if, God forbid, he gets another crack at it)...
...and Jesse Dollemore points out that Our Treasonous Tiny-Handed Sweaty Orange Demagogue broke his word (of course) to a military family about paying for a murdered soldier’s funeral; that would be PFC Vanessa Guillén; every time you think it can’t possibly get any worse with this monster, it does somehow (also NSFW/H)...
...oh, and believe it or not, another woman has come forward with tales of being groped by Cantaloupe Capone, and this time, the incident is tied to Jeffrey Epstein also (John and Trae Crowder discuss)...and yeah, it’s insane to me also that the Repug candidate for *preznit is anywhere near 50 percent in the polls, but that is where we are, unfortunately (and the “Macaca” guy was former Repug U.S. Senator George Allen of Virginia)...
...and I now give you the latest installment of “This Day In Doomsy History” (more or less) from 10/28/16, in which Keith Olbermann gives us one of his “The Closer” segments he did for GQ during that year’s presidential election, addressing women voters contemplating casting their vote for Our Ochre Abomination with Olbermann’s completely apt IMO “doesn’t it bother you? questions (and oh yeah, since this aired, Our Former Felon-In-Chief was found liable for sexual abuse in the E. Jean Carroll case, to say nothing of the fact that he got 3 SCOTUS justices confirmed who made the difference in killing Roe and stripping women of the ability to make their own health care decisions...and by the way, Kelly Preston died in 2020...and I apologize actually for spending so much time calling out this delusional maniac, meaning our former occupant of An Oval Office, but I believe it’s necessary)...
...well, at least Jim Acosta of CNN finally said enough of all of this garbage concerning Our Human Trash Fire polluting our discourse, and I’m sure Acosta was held to account for it by management from “the most trusted name in news,” as Farron Cousins discusses...and boy, is Cousins right to wonder why the hell that nonsense from Mango Mussolini wasn’t just outright ignored in the first place...
...and I don’t know about you, but speaking only for myself, I admit that I need a bit of a musical palate cleanser, if you will, and I think this will suffice...hope it leads us all into a nice weekend (and not much more time for political/election-related stuff, so let’s all do what we can, OK?).
