Jimmy Kimmel explains why his interview with Dem U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico of Texas had to go right to YouTube and could not be aired on TV (referencing that BS "convention" that just ended also - more here)...seems that a certain rotund, sweaty orange sack of trans fats and his FCC minion objected and Kimmel didn’t want to cause problems for any ABC affiliates in “the land of the yellow rose,” as Kimmel tells us...wonder if Our Ochre Abomination will go crying to Natalie over it?...
...and Robert Reich explains How Trump Made America Expensive Again...the damn Iran war, his stinking tariffs, the Big Beautiful Clusterf*ck which gutted health care among its other travesties, cuts to renewable energy which will increase out utility bills, trying to cram these disgusting AI data centers down our throats, and all the while, the “pay no price, bear no burden” bunch continues to “live large” at our expense...
...and Jordan Chariton of Status Coup informs us that a Trumpist federal court judge recently ruled that the residents of Jackson, Mississippi don’t have a constitutional right to clean drinking water (oh, and they don’t have a right to reliable information from public officials either)...Jackson residents have apparently been boiling their water for some time to protect themselves, some for 10-15 years believe it or not...the numbskull responsible for this ruling is Judge Kurt Engelhardt...for background, it should be noted the suit had to do with the “bodily autonomy” of the residents, who pretty much have been poisoned for decades by the city of Jackson, which has not upgraded its water infrastructure (and did I mention that the population of Jackson is majority black?)...sounds like Engelhardt was definitely splitting legal hairs here, saying that the statute in question applied to cases of sexual assault but not poisoned drinking water (imagine being in a position where you have to rely on bottled water and somebody tells you “you have too much water”)...I honestly don’t know the latest on the Flint water crisis; Gretchen Whitmer inherited it from Rick Snyder, but if the water is indeed still messed up after all this time, she owns that now by default (NSFW/H)...
...and I realize I’m a little late with this next item, but I wanted to get to it anyway...Steve Harness of Really American informs us that the Spider-Man guy who tried to keep wingnuts from attacking peaceful protestors in Minneapolis is going to be prosecuted, while Jake Lang who started all the trouble with his idiocy is going to walk away...looks like counter protestors siding with Lang drove their vehicles onto the sidewalk in protest...my spider sense is telling me some wingnut asshats got some hurt fee-fees, because nothing says you want to peacefully resolve differences more than trying to ram someone with about 2,000 pounds of steel, right?...I have to admit that “prior communication” between Lang’s goons and the cops is an interesting excuse to let Lang off...whoever this Lubuc guy with the Minneapolis cops is should end up permanently behind a desk, since he doesn’t belong interacting with the public (fist bump emoji)...NSFW/H also...
...and these next two clips are timely for this day also of course - hard to imagine it's been 25 years (I once expounded on this topic here long ago, for what it's worth...related items are here and here...oh, and this is typical for Our Orange Pustule-In-Chief also...and I thought this was also a timely reminder).
Update 1: More here.
Update 2: In the immortal words of David Huddleston in "Blazing Saddles," "Now who can argue with that?" (here).
Update 9/12/22: Important related info is here.
Update 9/12/23: And this needs to be remembered also.
Update 1 9/11/26: Yeah, tell that Muslim mayor to stay away – what does he know about what this day means? Plenty, based on this clip (which is pitch perfect, IMO).
Update 2 9/11/96: I wish The Rude Pundit was wrong, but I know he isn't (here...here also).
Update 3 9/11/96: This is also the last year for Paulie's Push - God bless that man (here)...Paul Veneto was scheduled to work as a flight attendant on United Flight 175, but he was off on 9/11 and has been dealing with survivor’s guilt over it...pushing his cart has been a way to cope with what he’s dealt with and try to heal himself and others who suffered from the terror attacks, which is probably most of the people in this country to one degree or another.
