Thursday Stuff
Chris Hayes talks about Dementia J. Trump’s war in Iran maybe creating an oil shock that COULD lead to a green future (about freaking time)...sounds like Combover Caligula’s Not-So-Excellent Adventure in Iran is going over like the proverbial lead balloon for about 59 percent (at least) of this country...oh, but ExxonMobil and Chevron are raking in the dough hand over fist, so it’s all good, right?...we get another reminder that the Tangerine Toddler is using hundreds of millions of our taxpayer dollars to cancel wind farm projects already in development...meanwhile, more EVs are sold in Europe than gas vehicles (I’ll have to look into the BYD vehicles, not that I automatically want to support China, but it looks like they’re on the cutting edge with this stuff - more here)...not too many people in the media beat the drum over environmental issues like Hayes does, to his credit, and EVERYONE ELSE should follow suit...Hayes speaks with writer Robinson Meyer...glad to hear Meyer mention the Inflation Reduction Act under Biden that could have put us on a better footing when it comes to renewables...”it’s totally insane to architect a world where you are reliant on (the Strait of Hormuz and other “choke points” to support dirty energy)” – absolutely for sure (more here)...
...and RIP Ted Turner...I know he has a bit of a complicated legacy you might say, but as far as I could tell, he worked his butt off to get where he ended up, and he sure was spot-on in discussing energy is this clip referencing what I believe was the Deepwater Horizon disaster in the Gulf of Mexico...he also supported film preservation, which makes his aces in my book to be honest (and I wouldn't wish lewy body dementia on anybody)...
...and I’d like to do something I don’t do too often, and that’s include two clips on the same topic; the first is an Indiana local news station report on last Tuesday’s Republican primary...I’ll admit that I don’t know a damn thing about what transpired on the ground in that locality in terms of political campaigns, but I DO know that a bunch of state senators for the “R” team commendably opposed the off-cycle redistricting scam from Cheetoh Hitler, and apparently all but one was voted out of office for it...sounds like the gene pool in that state needs a lifeguard...
...and this Damage Report clip gives us a bit of a backstory on what took place (yep, those pissants at the Club for Growth figured in this too)...looks like reps in Tennessee also got the boot since #47 wants to redistrict there too, as noted here (and more on the thoroughly odious Jim Banks is here)...yep, breaking up a historically black voting district ISN’T ABOUT RACE, YOU DASTARDLY LIB! SHUTUPSHUTUPSHUTUPSHUTUP!!!...and I don’t think it’s John’s imagination – this very definitely is the ongoing backlash to Reconstruction, hyper-charged by wingnut media and politicians (with Sharon Reed)...
...well, for everyone in the mood for something uplifting, Tennessee Brando informs us that The Onion has taken over Infowars, and it looks like they’ve truly turned it around in the best way...”Turn your piss into gold,” huh? Brilliant!...and yes, to be serious, don’t EVER think you can go too far ridiculing Alex Jones considering what he did to the parents and families of the Sandy Hook victims, who (and this can’t be mentioned enough IMO), were CHILDREN!!!...and I agree with Brando – I want to see EVERY CONSERVATIVE pundit and politician ruthlessly mocked instead of harmed in any way, despite what they want to do to us; as I’ve said before, the only person I ever advocated violence against at this site was Osama bin Laden, and I want to keep that intact...the person Brando mentioned who’d appear on Howard Stern’s show was Daniel Carver, by the way...
...and yesterday was the first day of National Nurse’s Week, and with that in mind, I present the following tune.
