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.

Really American

Adam Schiff on Lawrence O’Donnell from 3/9

Stacey Plaskett loses it (goodly and beautufully) And this is why I want USVI statehood so badly.

Not every Ryan in politics is a dud. Paul and timothy may have been close in the Book of Acts … but in the House, they are poles apart.

It’s a difficult day here in the CatBox.  I slept well last night, but I’m ready to sleep all day too.  I’m still balancing the methadone and oxycodone.  Tomorrow please expect no more than a Personal Update as it’d both a grocery delivery day and a WWWendy day.  Happy Hump Day!!

Update:  I planned to post this about 90 minutes ago, but I dozed off and just woke up.

Today’s took me 4:24 (average 5:10).  To do it, click here.  How did you do?

Short Takes:

From The New Yorker: Shortly after the sentencing of Nicolas Sarkozy, Donald J. Trump issued a statement claiming that prison time for the ex-President of France sets a “horrible precedent.”

In the statement, Trump called the corruption case against Sarkozy a “rigged hoax” and claimed that the former French leader was being treated “very unfairly.”

“This should never be allowed to happen in that country,” he said.

Dang Andy! I just can’t imagine why Trump** would feel that way! Can anyone guess?  RESIST the Republican Reich!!

From Daily Kos: The U.S. Supreme Court will hear a critical challenge to what’s left of the Voting Rights Act after the Chief Justice John Roberts’ majority decision in 2013 carved out the core of the law. At issue Tuesday are two Arizona laws, one requiring election officials to toss ballots that are cast in the wrong precincts and another that would restrict the delivery of mail-in ballots, allowing for just the voter, a family member, or caregiver could collect and deliver a voted ballot. That would prevent campaign workers, community activists, or members like church groups from delivering group ballots. With 43 states considering more than 250 voter suppression bills in the past month, the case has even greater import for the future of voting rights.

It puts into jeopardy Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, which “prohibits voting practices or procedures that discriminate on the basis of race, color, or membership in one of the language minority groups” identified as protected by the law. It bans any voting procedure that “results in a denial or abridgment of the right of any citizen of the United States to vote on account of race,” a denial or abridgment that occurs when “based on the totality of circumstances,” racial minorities “have less opportunity than other members of the electorate to participate in the political process and to elect representatives of their choice.”

This is one we need to watch, but since the Supreme Court is comprised of three SCOTUS vs six SCROTUS (Republican anti-Constitutional VD) my hopes are not high.  RESIST the Republican Reich!!

It’s a painful and exhausted day, here in the CatBox.  The intake meeting with Providence Home Hospice was excellent, but it was long.  I was sitting up and putting pressure on my spine from around 10:30 AM when Wendy arrived until about 5:30 PM when the intake nurse left.  My meds will be delivered today.  They are putting me on 5 mg methadone pills every eight hours plus up to 10 – 15 mg Oxycodone every 3 – 6 hours as needed for pain.  No more patches.  They will give me a shower a week and I’ll get 1 – 2 from WWWendy.  I’ll receive a pants load of other services.  I really like the way they are handling it, but recovering from that appointment will take a few days.  Have a wonderful Sunday!

Short Takes:

From The New Yorker: Donald J. Trump will use his speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference this weekend to announce that he has won the 2024 Presidential election.

According to leaked text from his cpac speech, Trump will claim that he won the 2024 election in a landslide and “everybody knows it.”

Trump will further state that any attempt to allege that the year 2024 has not arrived yet and is, in fact, not scheduled to occur until three years from now is “a rigged hoax.”

Dang, Andy! We all knew Trump** would say that. Furthermore, we knew that every damn one of those idiotic CPUKE Sheeple would believe it.  RESIST the Republican Reich!!

From Alternet: Though House Democrats in the end had the votes to assure final passage of a sweeping Covid-19 relief package overnight—securing approval with a final 219-212 tally—it was the Republican Party membership in total lockstep, joined by two lonely members of the majority party, that voted to deny struggling American families, frontline workers, state governments, local communities, small businesses, and the nation’s schools and public health system nearly $2 trillion in urgent assistance to stabilize the economy, beat back the pandemic, and ensure solid footing for a robust recovery.

The two Democrats who sided with the GOP were Rep. Jared Golden, who represents Maine’s 2nd District, and Rep. Kurt Shrader, who represents Oregon’s 5th District. 

That one of these is an Oregon Congressional makes me want to scream. In 2020, I donated money to Shrader’s campaign in the general. He was running against Amy Ryan Courser, the epitome of everything about the Republican Reich that makes it evil. Amy is a Koch sucker. So I would support him again in the same circumstances, but before it comes to that, we need to primary his DINO ass out of there!  RESIST the Republican Reich!!
