(More on that utterly sick and twisted T-shirt is here, by the way.)
Jesse Dollemore brings us the news of some Trumpist nut job in Grand Junction, Colorado named Patrick Thomas Egan, who followed a journalist (in a cab for 40 miles??!!) and then attacked this person of color, yelling “This is Trump’s America now”...add this life form to the seemingly unending list of gullible saps who’ve been utterly played by Combover Caligula, and let the heavy hand of justice fall on this attacker like the proverbial ton of bricks (mildly NSFW/H)...
...and Thom Hartmann tells us that it looks like Nancy Pelosi put her metaphorical thumb on the scale, as it were, in favor of Gerry Connolly to be the ranking Dem member on the House Oversight Committee over AOC...on the one hand, yeah, the Dem leadership proved to be tone-deaf once more by blowing off someone who could bring younger voters to the party as Thom says, but on the other hand, I think AOC is smart enough such that she would have gone along with the overall Dem House agenda, and I don’t mean that as a slam towards AOC (realpolitik at work, people)...I think Thom means the contest was over who would be the ranking Dem member; the Repugs will still run the committee (maybe Comer again) unfortunately (but don’t look for this committee to do a damn thing with The Big Orange Cheetoh in charge)...didn’t know the median U.S. age was 39 (and the question Thom asks at the very end is one I’ve asked myself a few times lately, I must confess)...
...and don’t look now, but Marjorie Train Wreck Greene recently took to Xitter to prattle on about an alleged $17 mil slush fund to pay off victims of sexual abuse at the hands of GOP politicians that MAGA Mike Johnson knew about, supposedly (gee, did I qualify things enough?)...and wouldn’t it be just way too damn funny if the “R party” did end up screwing up the election certification on 1/6 because they couldn’t elect a U.S. House speaker? And Jeff Van Drew may be the biggest embarrassment New Jersey has to offer, and if that isn’t an insult, I don’t know what is...and by the way, can we please dispense with this “electoral mandate” BS about #45/47? Trump won because the votes were suppressed for Harris/Walz, and there were a lot of different reasons for that...and boy, is Ben Meiselas right about the Dems and their disappearing act...ugh! (NSFW/H)...
...and this video from Katie Nixdorf of More Perfect Union brings us the aftermath of the devastation from Hurricane Helene in North Carolina (Asheville in particular); basically, people’s lives and businesses have been ruined...and yes, FEMA’s focus isn’t on rebuilding (that’s just how that agency was set up, that’s all), but on providing temporary relief, though that can and should include infrastructure repair...focus goes to the effect of climate change at about 6:25, which I think is spot-on (and yeah, make these dirty energy criminals pay for their misdeeds in ignoring the climate crisis...relief info is here)...
...and I’ll be honest; I can pretty much take or leave Nicolle Wallace, but I thought this was a good segment on the intra-MAGA blowup over H-1B visas (Bannon vs. Vivek and President Musk)...normally I could care less about Stuart Stevens, though he’s also OK in this segment, but I have a little more respect for Ruth Ben-Ghiat and Eddie Glaude, both of whom are spot-on also...
...and since powerful people and institutions aren't going to hold you-know-who and his minions to account, it does indeed look like it's up to us (NSFW/H also)...

...and Sam, Emma and Matt Lech of The Majority Report present a clip of Fix Noise numbskull Ainsley Earhardt who sez that Trump “fixed autism” (OWWW! TEH STOO-PID!!! IT BURNS US!!!)...and by the way, I’ve eaten overseas also, and yes, in our experience there is a difference in the food, but a lot of that has to do with the GMO garbage that’s allowed in this country versus the rest of the world (coming mainly from Monsanto, which donates to both Repugs and Dems, so good luck trying to regulate that bunch of corporate stooges...and portions in this country are indeed part of the problem also, though the whole issue is more complicated than these “news” mannequins on Rupert’s BS channel would have us believe)...
...and I hope you’re in the mood for an upbeat newer tune to help usher in the new year, because here it is.
