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.

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!!

From YouTube (a blast from the past): Creedence Clearwater Revival – Proud Mary

 

Ah… the memories!  RESIST the Republican Reich!!

Don’t Let Republicans Steal YOUR Future!!

Well, this is interesting. (at about 4 minutes, it goes to a promotion and you can cut it off.)

Really American – QNoShow

Meidas Touch parody

Meidas Touch – Ali Velshi (podcast)

Ring of Fire – essentially news – but you may not have seen it. (Facepalm.)

Yesterday El Condor Pass. Today, El Condor Non Pasa. El condor returns to visit man who saved it as a nestling (and apparently does so fairly frequently.)

Meidas Touch on CPAC – not the attendees, we know about them, but the hotel.

Justice Matters – Glenn Kirschner -a short one, under 5 minutes.

Meidas Touch – Confirmations

You can actually watch Kansas Republicans gerrymandering in this video.

Beau on the filibuster – as I said yesterday, gerrymandering is the only reason not to ditch it completely. I like his prediction for what would happen if they make it speaking only/must stay on topic.

Cole and Marmalade – Cat Logic 2

A 45 minute documentary on the HUAC, made at the time, CC added. I realize most won’t ba able to watch it. but if you do, it will likely bring back memories (and some echoes of now.)

The Lincoln Project – The “New” Republican Party –

Meidas Touch Podcast with Malcolm Nance – “Vanilla Isis”

Really American – Flori-duh. Glenn talks more slowly and uses more logic on his own show (Justice Matters) but they’re kind of long.

Justice Matters – See, I told you Glenn could talk more calmly. Of course, that kind of makes it longer. Still under 10 minutes, though.

Meidas Touch (podcast)

Now This News – No comment.

Really American – We all know this by now, but the “shock” is kind of fun.

“End notes” to “The Alt-Right Playbook” I haven’t seen enough yet to decide whether I should intersperse them orlistthem separately when I make the compendium … so that will be delayed somewhat. End note 1:

After the first meeting, and before they got used to each other, Cole and Marmalade did this.

Beau – Teaching and learning history – the Scooby-Doo method.
