The Lincoln Project – “The Squalid” – GOP answer to “The Squad” They play quotes in their own words, but they are all the same really – it’s the titles they give them which are the hoot.

Also The Lincoln Project – “Ouch” (I am NOT going to put Marjorie Taylor Greene into tags.)

Meidas touch Parody with Bette Midler

Really American

Robert Reich – Greed Is Not Good

Another video of something one doesn’t see every day (all my cats have hated snow)

Thank God for Randy Rainbow:

John Pavlocitz – Perhaps no one here needs to see this. But I’m afraid I know some peolw who do.

Really American

Now This News – I don’t know why people can’t grasped that he WAS IMPEACHED WHILE IN OFFICE and the a TRIAL NEEDS TO FOLLOW and that has nothing to do with whether he is still in office.

The Damage Report – The headline is an oversell, but there is good info.

A tweet just for fun

Rocky Mountain Mike (be nice if he’d do Boebert also)

Beau – I’ve been sitting on this one for a while, to give us some breathing time – but it needs to be seen sooner or later. Especially by younger people.

Really American – The one I posted yesterday had no CC when I posted it. I went back later in the evening to get a transcript, and then it did have CC. So my advice on this one is to wait 6 or so hours and then view it on YouTube.

Now This News – the GameStop affair – explained simply

Robert Reich – very short and very accurate.

A Philip Markle parody

Beau on how the impeachment trial “should” go. He makes excellent points. ACCOUNTABILITY

This is almost 9 minutes but it’s – amazing. It has no CC and I could not find it on YouTube or the CNN site with a search. There appears to be no way to activate captions.

It is available here with captions, but there appears to be no way to embed this.

Drew Morgan is the third member of WellRED Comedy, along with Trae and Corey

When I put up a video which referenced “The Alt-Right Playbook” I noted that it might be from an actual series – and it is. Here’s the introduction.

Beau – Kevin McCarthy should really try not to get under Beau’s skin. The results are not preety (at least not for Kevin.)

Republicans for the Rule of Law – the video I intended to include yesterday that didn’t get it. It was three days old yesterday, and it’s older today – and as I said it’s a bit confusing because the sound and the captions don’t match. But it makes a point.

OwlKitty. No CC because no dialog – just music and a purr

Beau on what will happen with the Coronavirus, numbers, vaccinations.

Yo Yo Ma at the Inauguration playing Amazing Grace. He managed to include the Star Trek them and George Takei is so here for it. (Mostly unaccompanied ‘cello but this brief message at the beginning) “…Families and communities. But – in the midst of devastation and loss there were moments when a flickering light pointed us toward a bright future. You comforted us, you sustained us, and so that light grew and became bright in the universe. This is for all of you who found new ways for us to smile together.
”

Joe Biden on dignity

Republicans for the Rule of Law – the captions are all Trump**, whereas the sound is mostly sane former Presidents talking about the way transitions are supposed to be. It makes it a little confusing but I hope effective.

Puppet Regime – Unwelcome Guest

What will happen to QAnon?

After-Trump Delight – Parody

Beau – “I don’t see any way that this could possibly go bad for Representative Greene” is where I started laughing out loud. But it gets better.

Speaker Pelosi on Impeachment and Unity

The Lincoln Project is also taking on Hawley. (And Meidas Touch is also taking on Cruz.) All their help is appreciated.

Meidas Touch (https://www.democraticunderground.com/emoticons/hattip.gif Mitch)

Founders Sing – “Impeached Again (Naturally)”

Now This News – As a Bernie Sanders lover who is also a knitter, I could not resist this.

“Insurrection-y Street” – a child could understand it.

This may not be the timing I would have employed to play this, but it was a request video. It is 6 minutes 43 seconds – and don’t start it if you can’t finish it – because it needs to be seen in full.

Isn’t it nice to want to share a Tweet from the President because it’s so positive!

The Lincoln Project

Amanda Gorman reads at inauguration – Transcript here https://www.cnbc.com/2021/01/20/amanda-gormans-inaugural-poem-the-hill-we-climb-full-text.html

From the presentation of “The Drum Major Instinct”

John Pavlovitz on hope, night, and dawn.

This one and the next one look back instead of forward, but both are too clever to miss.
Rocky Mountain Mike – “Pardon Party”

Founders Sing – 25th Amendment

If you’ve seen this – I don’t apologize – it can stand multiple viewings.

Beau – taped around noon Tuesday, obviously – but still pertinent – now and going forward

From 1933 originally. Well, we’ve been saying we needed FDR.

MSNBC – Sigh. (I read elsewhere the laptop in question was used only for presenations and contains no sensitive information whatever. You have to get upp very early in the morning to be ahead of Nancy Pelosi – and preferably the night before.)

The Lincoln Project – I don’t know whether this is actually part of a series or just one-off, but it’s very well done.

A New Roy Zimmerman! (Sorry it was necessary, but it’s delightful.)
