Friday Stuff


Farron Cousins informs us that there was a recent U.S. Senate hearing about Netflix potentially merging with Warner Brothers-Discovery and whether or not that merger violates antitrust laws, but instead of focusing on the applicable statute, Senate Repugs beat up Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos about gays and trannies in that network’s programming, including Running Man Josh Hawley who said such shows violate his personal beliefs, or something...as Cousins says, nobody is putting a gun at Hawley’s head and TELLING him to watch Netflix content; just unsubscribe or turn off the damn TV if Hawley wants to exercise parental control, which is his right...didn’t know that the highest ratings for transgender adult films are in red states and that the Grindr app is such a big deal in those locations also, but that figures in a twisted way I’ll admit (twisted in terms of the hypocrisy I mean...mildly NSFW/H)...



...and Thom Hartmann tells us that ICE has imprisoned 70K people in 225 detention centers housing people not convicted of a criminal offense (immigration violations real or imagined are civil, not criminal)...this basically makes these centers “concentration camps” according to Merriam Webster...didn’t know the death count in ICE’s concentration camps was up to 35 (and good point about Hitler’s camps outside of Germany, similar to the fact that CECOT for our ruling regime is in El Salvador)...and OF COURSE private prison companies (benefactors primarily of Repugs – don’t know if any Dems take their dirty money) are having a heyday right now...



...and Chris Hayes reminds us that Mango Mussolini is reassembling the crew from ’20 to try and mess with ’26 elections...yeah Bronzer Boy, you’re damn right your sorry ass is going to get impeached again if Dems take control of Congress, and this time you’ll be convicted...Hayes revisits Dem Taylor Rehmet’s win in Texas (a state senate seat in a district #47 won in ’24 by 17 points)...I disagree with Hayes’s statement that Dems do better in low-turnout elections; the data doesn’t back that up...and yes, the ridiculous gerrymandering was Plan A, and Plan B is to just outright try and take over the elections, with the dirty work being done by all of these disgusting life forms like Roger Stone who were involved in the attempted coup (once again, love and kisses to Biden Attorney General Merrick Garland for dragging his feet so atrociously and not getting convictions for all of these guttersnipes – for all the good Biden did, getting played by Israel was his biggest mistake IMO, but putting Garland where he did was #2 on that list)...I realize Hayes has to include a clip of Pumpkin Pol Pot lying about elections once again, but that doesn’t make it any less vile...so OF COURSE Repugs rush out a bill in Congress to give Cantaloupe Capone what he wants, with restrictions on voting by mail and voting registration drives and mandating voter ID, with the latter being a “solution” in search of a problem...and MAGA Mike Johnson should just STFU and go watch p*rn with his son...also, Pam “Blondi” is trying to blackmail states into giving up sensitive voting data with the promise of removing ICE from their streets...when we have the equivalent of Nuremberg trials for these disgusting Trumpist life forms, I’m going to watch every minute of every proceeding if I can...



...and turning to global matters, this report from the German news service DW tells us that Our Cretinous Ruling Regime angered Denmark again by removing Danish flags at the U.S. embassy in Copenhagen that were there to honor that country’s soldiers killed in Afghanistan, and the 44 flags were replaced by scores more, to the Danes’ credit (more utterly pointless and stoo-pid confrontational BS from our thuggish criminals in charge, with the net result being that the kingdom of Denmark will align itself more closely with the EU and against the Gropenfuhrer...report by Jakob Illeborg)...



...and Stephen Colbert of The Late Show brings us up to date on the latest nonsense from our D.C. ruling regime...boy, would I like to see the National Prayer Breakfast relegated to the political dustbin, and to be fair, politicos of both parties have attended...and of course, we’re treated to another “sir” story from Our Treasonous Orange Pustule, giving us insight into the meanderings in #47’s increasingly foggy noggin...I almost spit out my coffee watching the Paula White-whatever her name is clip with the livestock...and “speaking of Minneapolis, what did you learn?” Gee, on the scale of softball questions to the Tangerine Toddler from one to infinity, I’d give that a grade of about an Armageddon and a half...and one day, after Mango Mussolini is LONG GONE, I expect to still have nightmares about those damn accordion hands!...oh, and he named a new weapon we used in Venezuela, huh? The “discombobulator”? I’m surprised he didn’t call it the Trump doohickey and then try to fundraise off of it...and Jeffrey Epstein is the LAST person I would take a muffin from, but we are where we are (and speaking only for myself, I won’t miss Pizza Hut – anything that helps local vendors as opposed to the chains is fine with me)...



...and RIP Chuck Negron of Three Dog Night – his life was kind of a riches to rags and back-to-riches-sort-of story...he was responsible for the soaring vocals on all of the band’s biggest hits, including this one.
