Friday Stuff

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?).

Wednesday Stuff

(Once again, I just don’t know about posting up to the election...we’ll see.)

Rachel Maddow talks about Our Ochre Abomination’s incessant attacks on the media, like other strongman types (here)...and yeah, the Hamas hostages are all dead, so let’s move on, OK? And talking about Arnold Palmer’s genitalia...yep, par for the course for this demented narcissist, you might say...



Update: Yep, Fix and Fiends is trying to help goose step us into fascism all right (here).

Update 10/25/24: And speaking of our bought-and-paid-for corporate media, boo-hiss to the “Bezos Post” and the L.A. Times, and hurray to the Philadelphia Inquirer (here).

Update 10/28/24: Yeah, let's try blaming the leftist online rabble for this, as well as those impolite hooligans who made Sarah Sanders feel uncomfortable at a restaurant or chased "Curtsy Kyrsten" Sinema into a ladies room.

...and gee, attacks on the media from a dictatorial regime...where have I come across that before, I wonder (here)...



...and Jesse Dollemore discusses Bronzer Beelzebub’s recent idiocy at “Mickey D’s”...as for the 25,000 lying nonsense, let me clue you in on something...that McDonald’s is located on Street Road in Feasterville, PA, not far from Route 1 leading to the Bensalem interchange of the PA Turnpike; my point is that Street Road and the surrounding thoroughfares near that McDonald’s are very heavily congested roads with lots of traffic lights (on Street Road anyway), and a crowd of anywhere near 500 to 1,000 people would have brought traffic near that McDonald’s absolutely to a standstill and the police would likely have been called in to resolve it (and on top of that, I was driving past that area when 45 was pulling his stunt; there were some big groups of people, but nothing like he claims, as usual)...and of course that lying sociopath is bragging about the McDonald’s mess while he’s in storm-ravaged North Carolina pretending to care about other people’s suffering...and leave it to Jason Chaffetz and Kayleigh McEnany on Fix Noise to dutifully suck up to Cantaloupe Capone (mildly NSFW/H)...



...and John and Yasmin Khan of The Damage Report let us know that Combover Caligula recently stumbled onto the truth, namely, that the Repug run U.S. House (with MAGA Mike Johnson as Speaker) needs to get back into damn session and approve more dough for FEMA to help areas hit by Helene and Milton and prepare in case of other weather-related ravages (fat chance that that will happen, though...and yeah, "a very unusual situation" that now happens ALL THE FREAKING TIME BECAUSE OF WHAT WE'RE DOING TO THE CLIMATE!)...



...and this clip from Faiz Shakir and More Perfect Union tells us that corporate America is expanding its grip on rental housing, in essence acting as slumlords, in particular some outfit called Invitation Homes, and kudos to the Biden FTC for bringing a case against this group of miscreants...and we need to “juice this hog,” huh? This POS running this company deserves to go straight to the gray bar hotel...



...and kudos to Joni Mitchell for this; I believe this tune is apt given the prior clip as well as the most recent nonsense from the leader of “Cult 45.”

Monday Stuff

And now, a word from our sponsor...I just don't know about posting up until Election Day; there's some other stuff I'm involved in that may interfere with that. If I have any updates, I'll let you know (and by the way, I also posted here).

To begin, David Pakman informs us of Bronzer Beelzebub answering questions from women voters on Fix Noise...cue the unintentional hilarity...and #45 is the “father of IVF”? Well, from the reality perspective, allow me to mention this (and there has to be a joke in there somewhere about Uday and Qusay Jr., but I’ll keep looking for it)...and God almighty, he’s still doing the freaking accordion hands thing!!...



...and Chris Hayes posits that Our Ochre Abomination is running out of energy, complaining about having to campaign and make speeches, and of course 45’s usual nutty blatherings are included in this clip...and is “Bongo” seriously accusing Harris of putting a pipe bomb outside of the DNC on 1/6/21?...clip includes Dem strategist Alencia Johnson and former Repug U.S. House Rep David Jolly (and it’s a little numbing I think to realize that what is essentially the ‘hood’ of Le Manse Doomsy has figured so prominently in presidential politics, rating another mention in this clip)...



...and Jesse Dollemore tips us off a bit to a certain anonymous appearing strip mall in Wyoming, where the alleged “Swiss watches” being hawked by Our Treasonous Orange Pestilence are being manufactured, or so it seems...and a Russian link to some company selling a "honey boner" product?...Ye gods, as my dad used to say; the grift indeed never ends...



Update: And if anyone out there of a certain elderly demographic, let's say, might still be considering a vote for Our Treasonous Orange Pustule and Couch Boy, I would ask that they consider this.

...and the prior clip had a bit of amusement to it I’ll admit (albeit through clenched teeth), but this video from The Lincoln Project is truly a punch in the gut, which is completely called for IMO (and yes, let us NEVER forget about Project 2025)...



Update 1/22/24: And with the above video in mind, let's not forget this (or this, and to help Ashley Ehasz. click here).

.@BrianFitzUSA voted for a national abortion ban that would've overturned PA law.

He voted against the Women's Health Protection Act - which would've codified Roe's abortion protections - twice.

He caves to Trump and is anti-choice.

We can't trust him to protect our rights. pic.twitter.com/ZxUoq7FjD0

...and Brian Tyler Cohen presents a couple of minutes of Former President Obama laying out some reality on the border and immigration, versus Mango Mussolini...and that chart that Cohen presents at about 4:56 showing the explosion of wealth inequality since the ruinous administration of The Sainted Ronnie R should be memorized by every single voter in this country...it doesn’t take a rocket scientist, as Cohen says, to “follow the money” and see who wins and who loses under “Trumponomics,” if you will (including Apartheid Clyde, who’s busy destroying Xitter, or whatever it’s now called)...



...and I would definitely say that this newer tune is completely apt for the times in which we all live (especially, again, leading up the fifth of November).
