Thursday Stuff


Apparently that death eater in Kentucky, Sen. Mr. Elaine Chao, is opposing the stance of RFK Jr. (Trumps HHS nominee) to revoke approval for the polio vaccine (here); once again, a conservative only cares about an issue because it affects them personally...yeah, McConnell sure cares about the well being of young kids among others (snark), which is why he rejected additional child care funding in Biden’s “Build Back Better” bill as noted here and here...you’ll be forgiven if you’ve forgotten about BBB since our corporate media gave it the memory hole treatment and the utterly useless losers at the @DNC didn’t bother to remind anyone about it during the election...this is a surprisingly lucid commentary IMO from TYT without Cenk losing his mind about “corporate Democrats” to the point where it utterly biases anything else he has to say (John I. and Jayar Jackson have good observations also)...



Update: And I guess we can look forward to more of this, unfortunately.

...and speaking of the “party of Lincoln” opposing measures to protect the health of this country, Farron Cousins answers some questions about Repugs wanting to cut Social Security and Medicare/Medicaid (more here)...and no, as Cousins says, that doesn’t mean more $$ in your paycheck, you numbskull (not referring to Cousins of course)...I know I’ve harped on this incessantly, and apologies for that, but if we had AN ACTUAL FUNCTIONING DEMOCRATIC PARTY THAT COULD COMMUNICATE POLICY TO VOTERS INSTEAD OF JUST SHAKING THEM DOWN FOR DOUGH, then the message would be communicated that YES, THE DEMS ARE THE MAJOR POLITICAL PARTY THAT WILL ACTUALLY LOOK OUT FOR YOU ON THIS ISSUE AND MANY OTHERS (sorry for the “all caps,” but I think it’s warranted)...



...and speaking of the incoming bunch of grifters and frauds, we’re reminded that the U.S. House report on the quite probably illegal (alleged!) escapades of One-Time AG Nominee Big Stupid Head Matt Gaetz was just released, and it reeks to high heaven probably worse than anyone can imagine (the fact that he wasn’t charged in Flori-DUUH! is a testimony for yours truly as to how utterly corrupt that state is...NSFW/H – more here)...


...and Belle gives us some background on Our Demented Toddler-In-Chief’s railing against Panama, claiming that he wants the U.S. to take back the Canal...great context on how little the U.S. pays to ship goods through the Canal (and maybe we should give this guy some credit for negotiating that way back during his presidency), as well as the good points about how our military intervention in central America including the Canal region has contributed to the refugees approaching our southern border who #45/47 wants to imprison...



...and Jesse Dollemore lets us know that firefighters are finding out that they should have supported Harris/Walz instead of refusing to endorse, which was basically good news for Bronzer Beelzebub - what's done is done for now, though...



...and with this tune, I ring down the curtain on the seasonal selections for another year – hope your holiday celebrations are all you ask for.
