Starting with older ones …. Sam and Cardi B

Space Trash

Let’s Get Vaccinated!

The first one from the 24th – March Madness (If you didn’t get the joke about the lobster, I didn’t either, but I found the back stppry here.)

Nothing else was up by midnight. But there’s always next week.

However, I simply must add this article, posted by “unblock: on Democratic Underground ….

For whatever reason, mrs unblock wore her “nasty woman” t-shirt to her covid vaccination

After the shot you have to wait around at least 15 minutes in case there’s an adverse reaction.

Another patient walks up to her and says, “I really like your t-shirt!”

Mrs unblock say, “thanks I really like it too. I got it from the Samantha bee show.”

The woman just nods. And keeps nodding. And keeps nodding.

Until mrs unblock finally says, “HOLY SHIT! YOU’RE SAMANTHA BEE!”

Really American – It finally dawned upon me that these Really American videos with Glenn Kirschner must be speeded up! they are so different from his “Justice Matters voice. There is a way to slow them (or any YouTube video) down through the settings by selecting “playback speed.”

The Lincoln Project – “Why We Fight”

Ring of Fire – Farron is understandably (and justifiably) upset.

Corey Ryan Forrester – THE BUTTERCREAM DREAM THINKS WE NEED TO REDEFINE THE WORD “PATRIOT”

Beau doesn’t really have a crystal ball – anyone who pays attention could have told you this (maybe not so well, though)

Keith from yesterday – There’s CC but it’s in Russian.

There’s text at the site, but it’s not a transcript, so I downloaded on elsewhere. I only cleaned it up a little so there’s still off punctuation and capitalization.
Okay, so I just got my second dose of the vaccine out here at aqueduct, racetrack in new york, where I once bet illegally as a sixteen year old, but everything since then has gone okay. I wanted to talk to you about vaccine hesitancy and I doubt that anybody who’s watching my video would be vaccine, hesitant or vaccine skeptic, but just in case you know somebody who is, a couple of points to make – right after they injected directly into my veins number one side effects that you may hear about: they don’t necessarily get caused by that just happened. I have another friend who got his first shot before his second shot. He had a foot injury. I had a foot injury. That does not mean this causes foot injuries number two too fast: the development of this drug. No, not really. No. Moderna had thisstuff ready on january thirteenth, twenty twenty they spent the last six eight twelve months working. Making sure that this particular vaccine worked against this particular corona virus and it has the idea that there might be tracking micro chips injected into your arm really small ones. I suppose they could tell everybody where you are defies not only logic and common sense and, of course, every conspiracy theory you can think of, but also denies the market forces Right. Now you have a microchip on. You called your phone for which they managed to charge you anything from. Oh, I don’t know four hundred dollars to a million depending on how expensive your phone is. Why would they give you one for free? And lastly, if you are afraid of needles just say, you’re afraid of needles- I don’t know I had corona virus last year. If they told you you had to get the vaccine through your eyeball. I would have said: okay, I’m not going to enjoy it, but give it to me through my eyeball. They don’t they put it in your arm. You don’t feel anything it’s a little sore or later. So just remember. This now means v for vaccines, get the damn shot already. Thank you good night and good luck.

Meidas Touch – Border “crisis” fake

Armageddon Update – Nothing we all don’t know, but his style is – what it is.

Ring of Fire – I don’t think this was a recent decision on the part of Sen. Whitehouse. I think what’s recent is a DOJ he feels he can trust.

A group of California doctors calling themselves Vax’n8:

Mrs Betty Bowers – I missed this when it posted, but it’s not getting stale any time soon.

Beau – Denial is not a river in Egypt.

Missouri, Missouri, Missouri. Lucas Kunce is sunning for Missouri’s other Senate seat.

The summary pretty much says it all. He does name a name (but my Russian spelling is not good.)

Did I hear that right?

“A known Russian asset sent information to @DevinNunes at the Intelligence Committee, we literally have the package receipt.”

The Lincoln Project

These sea turtles were rescued from the ocean off of Texas when the temperatures dropped below freezing (Imagine living in water which then freezes around you.) They were treated for hypothermia and eventually released- with playground equipment. The video only shows a few (and no words, just a chuckle at one point.)

Randy Rainbow’s new promised parody …

Katie Porter …

A Big Oil exec told me I had a “misconception” about a special tax break polluters get that other businesses don’t.

So, after explaining the deduction to him, I offered to write it out of the tax code if that what he wants. Just let me know! pic.twitter.com/ML25PMnrg5

Robert Reich – I would be remiss not to quote a comment on this: “BTW – Reich refers to LBJ using the “Bully Pulpit” to pass the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The Dems had near 2/3 majorities in both houses at the time that overcame the objections of Southern Democrats and conservative Republicans like Barry Goldwater. And the 60-vote threshold in the Senate wasn’t in effect like it is today.”

It’s a tired day here in the CatBox. The methadone has ruined the way food tastes for me. I still haven’t caught up with my sleep. WWWendy is coming this evening. Oh God, it’s Monday!

Jig Zone Puzzle:

Today’s took me 5:16 (average 7:10). Ti do it, click here. How did you sdo?

Cartoons:

Short Takes:

From Crooks and Liars: Disgusting and hateful Senator Tommy Tuberville tried to get an Amendment passed that would have prevented schools from getting funding if they allow transgender students to compete in sports. Sen. Joe Manchin — a Democrat — voted in SUPPORT of the Amendment, while Sen. Lisa Murkowski — a Republican — voted AGAINST it.

Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA) blasted Tuberville for the measure that would have blocked funding for schools that allow transgender athletes to participate in women’s sports. Murray came out and called a spade a spade, saying that this stunt by Tuberville was “simply an attempt to discriminate against transgender students.”

She added, “For the love of god, can’t we just have a little bit of heart and compassion in this world for someone who doesn’t look or live exactly like you? All students, including transgender students, benefit from participating in sports to challenge themselves, to improve fitness, to be part of a team.”

That ANY Democrat could vote for such a vile amendment makes me want to puke. Unfortunately we can’t challenge DINO Joe in the primaries until the elections of 2024. Even more unfortunately, we need to be damn glad we have him until them, because he alone stands between us and Majority Leader Bought Bitch Mitch! RESIST the Republican Reich!!

From Alternet:

A Florida hospital diverted vaccines from the general public to an ultra-wealthy community where its CEO and Republican donors lived.

Gov. Ron DeSantis insists “the state was not involved” in helping to vaccinate 1,200 residents of the wealthy Ocean Reef community in January, but a spokeswoman for Baptist Health Systems, which administered the doses, told Tampa Bay Times and Miami Herald that state officials did intervene.

“It is our understanding that the Medical Center at Ocean Reef asked the State of Florida for vaccine doses, and the State of Florida asked Baptist Health to take delivery of the doses to our ultra-cold freezer storage for delivery to the Medical Center at Ocean Reef,” said Baptist Health spokeswoman Dori Alvarez in a statement.

Some of the beneficiaries had donated to the governor’s political action committee, which has garnered almost $4 million, and Baptist Health Systems president and CEO Brian Keeley and his wife own a home in Ocean Reef.

The spokeswoman would not say whether the couple was involved in getting the vaccine doses delivered to their community.

If you believe that that DeSantis had nothing to do with this absurd lie, you should also believe the Pope is not Catholic, Trump** is not an asshole, and bears never ever shit in the woods! RESIST the Republican Reich!!

Ah… the memories! RESIST the Republican Reich!!
