Tuesday Stuff

Brian Tyler Cohen and election lawyer extraordinaire Marc Elias bring us the story of Not Your Father’s Republican Party trying to get the SCOTUS to make sure PA voters don’t get the chance to cast provisional ballots in person on Election Day if those voters had accidentally cast “naked” mail-in ballots previously without the privacy envelope, which wouldn't count...the SCOTUS decision on this is pending at the moment, but I think we all know which direction this is likely to go unfortunately (especially since it looks like “Strip Search Sammy” Alito will get this)...and oh yeah, PA Repugs are trying to work in this “Independent State Legislature” BS theory again (here)...and Cohen and Elias are right about PA’s antiquated voting laws that “Pennsyltucky” refuses to change; anytime Dems try to modernize voting laws in our beloved commonwealth, the “R” party starts bellowing “OH YEAH? THEN PASS VOTER ID!,” which continues to be a “solution” in search of an actual problem...and boy oh boy, is Elias ever right about voting blue up and down the ballot!...



...and David Pakman tells us that the “R” team is panicking over the racism displayed by conservative “comedian” Tony Hinchcliffe during that recent MSG rally...oh yeah, Brian Kilmeade of Fix and Fiends sez, “Well, Hinchcliffe said this stuff two hours before Trump came on stage,” as if somehow that absolves Our Big Sweaty Orange Cheetoh of any responsibility for vetting these characters appearing at his own damn rally...and oh yeah, that line about the Harris supporter masquerading as a NY Times reporter or something like that was just precious, wasn’t it?...



...and Mike Figueredo of The Humanist Report informs us of “black” Trump supporters outed as white...first, some assclown named Dean Browning, and now some “black insurrectionist” named Jason Palmer...amazes me that these numbskulls think they can pull off this stuff and somehow NOT get caught eventually (NSFW/H)...

...and Ali Velshi introduces this segment with Rachel Maddow discussing the loss of abortion rights, bringing us the gut-wrenching stories of women becoming critically ill and dying in many cases because they were unable to benefit from a “D and C” procedure, which was standard under Roe, but is no longer in Repug-run states all over this country, but in particular in “the land of the yellow rose,” where Kate Cox had to flee the state to get the court-allowed abortion she needed (here)...one of Maddow’s many great points is how abortion bans also effect post-partum care after women give birth...also, we’re reminded about Deborah Dorbert, forced to carry a non-viable fetus for months in Flori-DUUUH! because of that state’s anti-abortion law...and oh yeah, South Carolina JAILED a woman for a miscarriage – what the f*ck country am I living in again??!!...and Maddow is exactly right that the Catholic Church didn’t care about this until the late 1800s...and I have to admit that I didn’t have “Tricky Dick supporting abortion for mixed race kids” on my Bingo card...



...and Emma Vigeland of The Majority Report lets us know that Baby Newton Leroy Gingrich and Sean Inanity recently had a toddler fit about women voting, referring to an ad from Julia Roberts that I have to admit that I didn’t see (even for the disgraced former speaker, the hypocrisy here is stunning for the reasons noted here)...



...and Farron Cousins lets us know that the Las Vegas Sun newspaper pretty much tore apart the Gropenfuhrer...and yeah, I think “cognitively crippled” says it pretty well (and based on this, I would say that even "the faithful" have had enough at long last)...



...and there's still more we can do if you're able, believe it or not (drive folks to the polls, remind friends and family to cast ballots, make phone calls)...I would ask that you keep that in mind while we watch the final clip during this election cycle from The Lincoln Project, featuring actors from the TV show "The West Wing"...

...and this is the tune that I probably include more than any other on Election Day in order to get us revved up to get to the polls, though I don’t think I need to do that too much this time around; in addition to doing the right thing for our country and ourselves, we need to negate the votes of the life forms such as the asshat driving the vehicle with this disgusting decal that I first spotted almost a year ago...let’s finish this off the right way, folks!
