Seth Meyers brings us up to date on the latest tax bill carnage and the other typical nonsense from Generalissimo Trump…



…and uh huh, it looks like the “blue wave” is indeed coming next year, though we all have to do our part to make that happen; I would guess that the only metaphorical card, as it were, that the Repugs have to play on this are more voter disenfranchisement tricks, though they know a lot of them to be sure…



…and here are a couple of more seasonal selections.

Monday Stuff

So what is the #CorkerKickback all about, vis-a-vis the thoroughly ruinous tax bill in Congress? David Sirota explains…



…and yeah, what Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders say here in response – true dat…

…and here are a couple of more seasonal selections (once again, cutting back on the tunes this year).

Friday Stuff

Um, Bri-Fi, I would say that you need to step up and do the right thing here…

…and kudos to New York AG Eric Schneiderman for this (re, Net Neutrality – and yeah, Ajit Pai is nothing but a typical Trump regime liar)…



…and kudos also to Elizabeth Shackleford, speaking to CNN’s Christiane Amanpour about what Secretary of State Rex Tillerson is doing to the U.S. State Department…



…and John Iadarola tells us that Repug U.S. House Rep Blake Farenthold is leaving under the proverbial cloud (NSFW)…



…and here’s another installment of “This Day In Doomsy History” (more or less) from 12/16/08, in which “Santa” Bush rewarded his cronies pretty much like Generalissimo Trump is now: I’m including this for at least two reasons…first, as far as I’m concerned, this is how ANY Republican in high federal office is likely to act, and second, this should be a response to any attempts at image rehabilitation on behalf of Number 43 (actor doesn’t look a lot like him, but he does have the voice down pat I believe)…



…and here are a couple of seasonal selections – likely cutting back on the holiday tunes this year.

Thursday Stuff

God, I can’t believe it’s actually been five years (here – and on a federal level, not a goddamn thing happened in response)…

Five years ago today, 20 first-graders and six school staffers were murdered at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut.

…and as expected, the corporate criminals of the regime of Generalissimo Trump voted to kill Net Neutrality today (here and here); way too little too damn late for some of the “R” party clowns in the video noted by Cenk and Ana (and again, I thoroughly detest the wingnutosphere, but I’ll never say that they shouldn’t have a voice)…



…and in light of this highly interesting news, I thought it was appropriate to revisit this great “Rewrite” clip from Lawrence O’Donnell (more here on Ryan’s one-time hero)…



…and potty mouth Kyle K. tells us that the Gropenfuhrer has a new accuser, this time from Fix Noise (and I agree with Kyle about the Dems “weaponizing” accusations – going back and forth on whether or not Al Franken should have stepped down prior to completion of the Ethics Committee investigation; Chris Hayes, who I sincerely thought knew better, recently tried to draw an equivalency on “All In” between what Franken and #45 did; not condoning either, but to me, that’s what you should expect from The Comcast Network given that Franken was their chief antagonist – NSFW)…



…and given this awful anniversary, here are a couple of more muted seasonal selections.

Wednesday Stuff

(I’m going to try and get this thing fired up again after a bit of an unplanned shutdown.)

Congratulations to Dem U.S. Senator Doug Jones in Alabama; yeah, you could argue that it took a confluence of a lot of factors coming into play the right way, especially given the fact that Roy Moore somehow “ran the table” with white voters in spite of it all (which is pretty sickening as far as I’m concerned), but I agree with the assessment that Charles Barkley was pretty damn spot-on here…



…and oh yeah, we still have to fight that garbage Repug tax bill, as Bernie reminds us; keep calling 877-650-0039…

There has not been one public hearing, no opportunity to hear from economists, governors, mayors or ordinary Americans who will be impacted by this tax bill. This is a sham. pic.twitter.com/YBHBMXkLEN

— Bernie Sanders (@SenSanders) December 13, 2017

…and here are a couple of more seasonal selections.

Tuesday Stuff

(Posting may be sporadic for a little while – not sure at the moment…)

Today is the day in Alabama, people (I think Cenk takes it a little too easy on Monica Whatsername in this clip, but I guess we should be even-handed for real here)…



…and do you want to be reminded of what a real leader sounds like? Watch it and weep like I just about did…

— NowThis (@nowthisnews) December 11, 2017

…and this goes out to everyone celebrating the festival of lights…



…and since it’s this guy’s birthday today, I thought this was appropriate.

Friday Stuff

Keep calling 877-650-0039, folks; the only way the “one percent” will pay their fair share is if they’re MADE to pay for it, dragged kicking and screaming into the cold light of day as it were…

…and while we should do what we can to assist the folks out west victimized by the hellacious wildfires out west if we are able to, let’s not forget the following (also related to that wretched tax bill congressional Repugs are trying to pass over to our Tiny Handed Treasonous Orange Dictator)…

…and leave it Repug PA State House Rep Daryl Metcalfe to embarrass our beloved commonwealth once again, as noted here (more here – fourth bullet)…



…and in light of the Gropenfuhrer’s recent announcement on Jerusalem, I’ll bet you KNEW this was coming, right? (more here)…

— NowThis (@nowthisnews) December 7, 2017

…and I thought this was a pretty well done, NSFW analysis of the recent Franken/Roy Moore stuff by Hasan Piker (the one exception I can think of on the Repug side is the thoroughly bilious life form known as Trent Franks, who apparently realized that asking his staffers to serve as his baby mamas, or something, was going just a tad too far and has resigned, as noted here)…

…and here is another seasonal selection…



…and since it’s December 8th, it’s time for this tune once more.

Thursday Stuff

Yeah, it looks like Not Your Father’s Republican Party is willing to help elect someone accused of sexual misconduct with underage girls for the U.S. Senate – indeed, as long as Roy Moore has that “magic R” after his name, all is apparently forgiven (to do something about it, click here...and yeah, I don't think the difference between Moore, Our Tiny Handed Treasonous Dictator and his playmates and the "D" team could be more obvious based on this...more to come I'm sure)…



…and there’s still time to protest this garbage GOP tax bill – keep jamming up the phone lines…877-650-0039…

…and I realize that we have to keep going after Citizens United (which is DEFINITELY related to the tax scam) even though it’s pushing the proverbial Rock of Sisyphus (you can Google it – thanks once more, High Court of Hangin’ Judge JR!), but do so we must (and kudos to Oregon Dem Sen. Jeff Merkley for reminding us)…

…and Lawrence O’Donnell tells us about the “deep state” private spies weighed by the Gropenfuhrer (and no, this isn’t a headline from The Onion, though it would be I’m sure if we were talking about any other preznit…oh and speaking of nuttiness from Number 45, more to come on this I’m sure as well)…



...and I feel obligated to bring you another seasonal selection, so here it is...



...and happy recent 85th birthday to the one and only Richard Penniman.

Tuesday Stuff

Oh, and let it be known for the record that, in addition to voting for that utterly disgusting and craven, ruinous tax bill, “Bri Fi” voted to send it to conference too of course (here...call 877-650-0039 to do something about it, and if you live in PA-08 and want to let Bri-Fi know personally, call 202-225-4276)…

…and 1600 showing up to protest in Berks County, which went for Generalissimo Trump by 10 points, as Rachel Maddow notes? I call that a sign o’the times, all right…



…and yeah, this is some lame ass excuse to get rid of Sam Seder at MSNBC…

Update 12/6/17: Oh, and by the way, in light of the pic above, I think that lame ass MSNBC network ought to read this from one of their contributors (try spelling the name of our political party correctly for starters).

Update 12/7/17: They're still clowns, MSNBC I mean (here).

...and here is another holiday selection.

Monday Stuff

There’s still time to protest this disaster (more here)…

… and yes, what Bernie tells us here; of course, he’s calling out somebody with the attention span of a gnat on meth, as Repug strategist Rick Wilson once observed…

…oh, and let’s not forget the sickeningly servile role our Repug U.S. Senator played in trying to obtain a tax writeoff for the family of Betsy DeVos – Will Bunch explains better than I can here…makes me recall this clip…



...and for some reason, I had a heck of a time finding this...



…and Kyle K. weighs in on the Roy Moore/Jimmy Kimmel dustup (NSFW)…



..and turning to the seasonal stuff…no, it really doesn’t have to be that way (ie., that horrible tax bill).

Friday Stuff

Apparently they are actually nearing a vote on this atrocity – keep fighting, for the reasons noted by Sen. Elizabeth Warren - (202-224-3121)…

via GIPHY

…and it looks like Bernie busted Marco Rubio on this also…

…and when I find myself actually sympathetic to Joe Scar, then I KNOW we’re officially through the looking glass, as they say…



…and I suppose there is a bit of déjà vu between now and the antics of ‘60s people like, say, Abbie Hoffman when you look at what that guttural miscreant James O’Keefe and Project Veritas are doing (different goals of course – probably more sophisticated now for the reasons Chris Hayes and his panel point out, including Joy Reid and Rick Hertzberg, with today’s culprits trying to wreck journalism itself…a pox on our corporate media for letting that happen, and us too as citizens a bit I guess)…



…and yeah, I would call this more than a bit of karma (more here)…

…and when it comes to holiday tunes, I guess this matches my mood at the moment with everything going on.

Thursday Stuff

Now’s the time to jam the phone lines, people - (202) 224-3121 or click here (more here)...

Rachel Maddow tells us of all of the Russian connections to the White House of Generalissimo Trump (and apparently, Erik Prince, Betsy DeVos’s brother and former head of Blackwater, just met with somebody new to the list)…



…and it looks like Huckleberry Graham is “showing a little leg” on the issue of North Korea firing off missiles (and when has our Tiny Handed Treasonous Orange Dictator ever shown an impulse for a diplomatic solution about ANYTHING? And I agree with Sam – our corporate media is just itching for the “pageantry” of another war, kind of like this fraud did not too long ago)…



…and I think it’s long past time for our Treasonous Orange Maniac to be booted off Twitter once and for all (more here - my theory, for what it’s worth, is that this was an attempt at distraction in an effort to get that disgusting tax bill to pass)…



…and kudos to the Archbishop of Canterbury for this (and yes, that’s in the UK, for anyone who somehow doesn’t know that – NSFW...and in a similar vein, I give you this)…



...and it looks like our neighbor to the north is becoming pretty cannabis-friendly, though that won't happen overnight I know; definitely a bit of a slippery slope, but I agree with the reason why David Pakman is jealous of what they're doing (and by the way, I think David makes a great point about the US ending up behind the 8-ball related to pot and research kind of like the way we are as a nation with renewable energy, and kind of like the way we were under Dubya when it came to embryonic stem cell research…anybody besides me remember that one? That’s what happens when you put Repugs in charge, people)…...



…and with a nod to a wonderful Canadian export, if you will, I don’t think this seasonal tune has ever hit home as much as it does right now.

Wednesday Stuff

Rachel Maddow brings us the very latest on the Repugs’ utterly ruinous tax scam bill; some of the protests are admittedly amusing, but some are deadly serious, as well they should be (all of the Senate Repugs on the committee voting Yes are beneath contempt, but Mike Enzi may be the most execrable of all – why do I have a sickening feeling that this could be part of the end game of movement conservatism in this country, and that they’re trying to enshrine this disgusting garbage and make it incredibly hard to unwind? Maybe it’s because that’s exactly what’s going on...to do something about this, click here)…



…and yeah, I think this is pretty damn shameless too (more here)…



…and Seth Meyers chimes in also…



…and as if we needed more proof of the scam the “one percent” is trying to run on us, Former Clinton Labor Secretary Robert Reich reminds us again here…

…and I know I included a clip from Thom Hartmann yesterday featuring the sterling words of our 35th president, and in a similar vein as the prior video, I include this item featuring the words of our 32nd president (audio is a little goofed up again – sorry; yep, fighting the same battles today as we fought back then…FDR was hated like no other because he was considered a traitor to his class, and he consistently beat the Repugs except in 1937, when – you could argue – policies of the Federal Reserve and the Treasury Department led to a recession that lasted about a year within the Depression)...



…and Farron Cousins points out the stupendously obvious fact that the Gropenfuhrer is really, REALLY bad at being preznit (needs to be pointed out, though - uh, yep)…



…and to me, this is what true leadership looks like, and it’s Canadian PM Justin Trudeau apologizing for his country’s abuses against LGBTQ2 individuals – of course, if Obama had done something like this, he would have been vilified forever by Fix Noise and the rest of the wingnutosphere…

…and here’s another seasonal tune (trying to find a reason to smile amidst this horror show...thanks once more, all of you who did ANYTHING to inflict us with our Tiny Handed Treasonous Orange Dictator).

Tuesday Stuff

John Iadarola and Cenk of The Young Turks tells us about that human waste named James O’Keefe and Project Veritas trying to malign the WaPo for reporting on Roy Moore; it looks like O’Keefe and his pals tried to make the paper look bad with some “sting” operation that pretty much ended in hilarity…



…and It looks like Number 44 understands the importance of preserving Net Neutrality from the Trumpsters all right (to do more about that, click here)…

President Obama said repealing net neutrality would ‘end the internet as we know it’ pic.twitter.com/n5wn3JMgpu

— NowThis (@nowthisnews) November 27, 2017

…and Thom Hartmann tells us about the untrustworthiness of the Repugs (taxes, war, etc.), as well as JFK’s vision versus our current hideous reality (“completely a-historic” indeed...have to play with the volume a bit here)…



…and K.O. signs off – I wish he were staying around, but I definitely can’t blame him (surprised he forgot about the 25th Amendment as a way to get rid of Generalissimo Trump, which is unlikely I know – yes, Trump needs to go of course, but the Dems had better have a strategy in place if he’s gone for Wolf vs. Wagner and Casey vs. Barletta next year; harder to scapegoat somebody if they’re in prison)…



…and what do you say to a little holiday funk?...



…and it should be noted that yesterday marked what would have been the 75th birthday of James Marshall Hendrix.

Monday Stuff

I thought this was a good analysis by Lawrence O’Donnell, Eugene Robinson and Adam Serwer of The Atlantic over Serwer’s column called “The Nationalist’s Delusion,” about voters who supported our Tiny Handed Treasonous Orange Dictator (and still do, mostly, which beggars belief I know)…



…and Kyle K. tells us about the Gropenfuhrer and dropping bombs and related costs vs. what we should be spending to rebuild this country – NSFW of course...



…and Seth Meyers brings us some news headlines from last week, including the FCC/Net Neutrality stuff (and yeah, apparently another Congress-person is having some personal issues, you might say, as noted here)…



…and I know Thanksgiving was last week (as noted in the Meyers clip), but I don’t think it’s too late for a re-interpretation of the holiday (pointy-headed liberal that I am I guess)…

…and speaking of law enforcement (yeah, I’m sure you saw this one coming from a mile away, as they say, right?)...

Friday Stuff

Kudos to Philly Mayor Jim Kenney for this; I can only imagine what kind of a reprisal will be forthcoming from our Tiny Handed Treasonous Orange Dictator, but sometimes you just have to stand up and say enough…



…and as if to illustrate Kenney’s point, I give you this clip about the response of “Dear Leader” to the words of the father of one of the UCLA basketball players who were detained in China (and this to me is surprising in no way whatsoever)…

…and Rachel Maddow tells us more about what Generalissimo Trump has in common with Tricky Dick (with historian Michael Beschloss)…



…and Carlos Maza tells us how Sean Inanity has gone into full-on Alex Jones mode; just waiting for the Fix Noise personality to start selling “male enhancement” supplements, or something (important to see what kind of nutsiness is springing forth from the other side from time to time)…

…and I failed to note the passing earlier this week of Della Reese, who made her name as a jazz “torch” singer before going onto TV fame…



…and dear God, is it actually that time of year again?

Happy Thanksgiving 2017

I got a kick out of this (courtesy of Pixdaus and Daily Kos)...

...and here's another holiday fave, with an intro by Seth MacFarlane as Stewie Griffin (and again, the captions make this hilarious as far as I'm concerned)...



...and here's more holiday fun...



...and I kind of liked this also (hat tip for this to Daily Kos)...



...and here's a Thanksgiving message for those wonderful folks at the TSA.




Update 1: And here is another late addition.



Update 2: Might as well add this too.



Update 3: Imagine all the people that can be fed for $35 grand (here, getting serious for a minute).

Update 4: And since I add to this list every year, I might as well include this too (hasta la vista, baby!).



…and I guess this is an appropriate tune for the day.

…and Cenk of TYT tells us about National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster calling the Gropenfuhrer names behind his back (and yeah, it looks like the trail of ooze here indeed emanates from Sheldon Adelson all right…“no three-dimensional chess” going on with Trump – “barely two-dimensional checkers”…nice!)…



…and Seth Meyers weighs in on the latest against Roy Moore, Charlie Rose, and others…



…and given today’s anniversary, I thought these were some eternal words from our 35th president…



…and RIP David Cassidy…and yeah, I know we’re talking about big-time “bubble gum” music here (I’d forgotten what a hideous fashion statement sweater vests truly are).

Tuesday Stuff

Rachel Maddow tells us about something that Tricky Dick and Generalissimo Trump have in common, and that is abuse of our law enforcement and the Justice Department (typical for despots – I don’t know what the next segment was about)…

…and a month ago today marked an anniversary that I forgot to note – nine days of hearings by the House Un-American Activities Committee began on October 20, 1947, which led to the creation of the so-called “Hollywood Blacklist”; I was reminded of this when Turner Classic Movies showed “Hollywood On Trial,” narrated by John Huston (and leave it to The Sainted Ronnie R to act like the utter stooge he truly was…there are a few good movies in particular about this, and one is “The Front,” with Woody Allen and Zero Mostel)…
