Lona remoarked in connection with my computer being down that if it would help me manage better I should maybe stop putting up Sam every week – and I think she is right. Sam doesn’t have a lot of viewership here. However, she does have some, and I do not want to make anyone else go through what I went through searching for the videos when I started doing this.

So if you are a fan, please click through to copy and save this link, either as a bookmark or as a shortcut, or both.\:
Full Frontal with Samantha Bee Video Page

I recommend the videos page rather than the home page, because the home page shows onlt the very newest ones, but the video page shows all. And all the videos have a notation of how long they have been up, making it very easy to see what is actually new. The two reruns featured this week went up, as I type, 5 days ago and 1 hour ago respectively. The newest one before that went up two weeks ago.

Full Frontal Rewind: Reproductive Rights Are Human Rights

Full Frontal Rewind: The Best of Amy Hoggart
You won’t recognize Amy’s name, but you will recognize her face and voice, as she is one of Sam’s regular sidekicks and has been for some time.

Each Wednesday night that the show is on, videos start to post at 11 pm Eastern (10 pm Central, 9 pm Mountain, 8 pm Pacific.) That’s also 3 am Thursday GMT, which may make the calculation a tiny bit easier for anyone not in the US. If you can’t see her in your country, you probably can’t see her here either, but a VPN should solve that, and there are free ones, including the fact that some browsers have their own built in.

Yesterday was reasonably calm, and I got some things done, but still have some de-cluttering to do. I did succeed in setting up my meds for the ext two weeks so that all I have to do is remember to take them – and I’m fairly good at that.

Cartoon (After all, it’s Tuesday) –

Short Takes –

Crooks and Liars – Sixteen Weapons, Tons Of Ammo Found In Hotel Room Near Coors Field
Quote – A maid working at Denver’s Maven Hotel tipped off law enforcement about weapons in one of the rooms there. Police got a search warrant, found 16 long guns, body armor, and over a thousand rounds of ammunition in the room, which featured a balcony overlooking the downtown area. The Maven Hotel is not too far from Coors Field, which will host the All-Star game on Tuesday.
Click through for preliminary details (which may get updaed). The sad thing is that if I hadn’t seen “Coors Field” I might have passed ths by.

The Hill – Judge grills attorneys over suit challenging Michigan results
Quote – “I need to point out here that my concern is that the counsel here have submitted affidavits that suggest and make the public believe that there was something wrong with the election and that is what this is all about,” said the judge, who was appointed by former President Obama. “That’s what these affidavits were designed to show, that there was something wrong in Michigan, there was something wrong in Wayne County.”
Click through for some of the back-and-forth. Kudos to Judge Parker. We need more of this.

Neighbors See Trump Waiting by Mailbox for Reinstatement Notice
Quote – Mr. Klugian said that he sympathized with Trump because he remembered “checking the mail a lot when I first retired…. If you don’t have anything to do, the mail becomes kind of the high point of your day,” he said. “He has to get into gardening or volunteering. Something. He can’t go on like this.”
Click through for details. Sounds like straight news to me, but with Andy … how can you tell?

Don Winslow – Don Winslow Films – #LaurenBoebertIsAMonster

CNN – [John Dean] says he’d pay to handle Trump’s deposition. I have a very sift spot forpeople who have made mistakes, including extremely stupid ones, and LEARNED from than and turned around. John is one. Another is Monica Lewinsky.

Liberal Redneck – I’m from TN and LAWD I CAN’T STAND MARSHA BLACKBURN. (Taylor Swift is acually a liberal.)

Beau – Boebert is no Einstein, but I have administered GED testing and read the tests and getting it is NOT easy. And, yes, apparently it took her several tries to get it. However, it still is not that easy (and it certainly is not the same questions every time one tries) and Istill assert that GEDs are respectable and arw to be respected by Democrats, among others. And certaily by the military. I don’t know whether the military is accepting GED students now, but at the time I was working with it they weren’t. I have advised GED grads nterested in the military to go to the nearest and cheapest community college and take and pass one course – any course. Then, their educational level becomes “some college” and bypasses the GED question altogether. And I still consider that good advice. (But I hope Boebert doesn’t take it.)
