Here's Steve Scalise applauding the latest version of legislation that we can file (as usual) under the heading of I-Got-Mine-So-Fuck-The-Resta-Y'all.


Looking forward to when the stories emerge - about the tactics and threats and promises necessary to get this piece of shit passed.

It's the money, stupid.

Ari Melber's take:



Money is power, and for some folks, power is everything.

Today's Life Lesson


Depression is your soul telling you to make a change - but not the kind of change where you get a neck tattoo or decide you'd look good with bangs.

Today's Quote

The difference between a cult and a religion is that the latter is old. Like, stepping into a pile of dogshit makes you curse, but stepping into a pile of dinosaur shit makes you famous. Despite both being crap. 
— Opportunist.

Love Her Hate Her Whatever


Donna Brazile is well known for two things: losing elections, and standing in the wreckage yelling, "We was robbed!"

But she knows things. She had a front row seat last fall. The bit about the Russians (starting about 28:30) is very interesting and way fuckin' scary.



And never mind the fact that she takes a nice big dump on the Press Poodles for being lazy enough to buy into the Follow-The-Popular-Drift bullshit (thank you, Donna). Way too many of the big news outlets here in USAmerica Inc are operating on the Show Biz model, where the coverage is guided by what's trending on social media instead of what's real and/or important.

Flocks of Bots (many, if not most, of which are controlled the Russkies) are practically dictating what we do and where we go - and they're very useful for "winning" elections.

Automated Rapid Response on a hyper-industrialized level.

Closer To The Borg

Science be scary sometimes.






BTW - next year will mark the 200th anniversary of Mary Shelley's novel, Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus.
