Glenn Kirschner – Bannon is in Criminal Contempt of Congress. The Legal Remedy? Inherent Contempt
For over a week now, Meidas Touch has been posting only complete podcasts (45 min and up), and for three days, so has the Lincoln Project. It’s a good thing I’m ahead on the open thread, because there’s an extra helping of fluff here today.
Now This News – What’s Next in the Fight for Voting Rights
Armageddon Update – President Pence?
A surprise performance of Ravel’s Bolero stuns shoppers!
Rob Rogers – Build Back (actually not fluff, exactly)
Parody Project/The Freedom Toast – The Problem With Manchin
Beau – Let’s talk about the costs of not passing the infrastructure bill….

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
First comment honors go to Mitch!
GK has it right, and if congress does not act it will be clear that the game is more rigged than we ever imagined!NT: Yes, but without these bills, if McTurtle-Traitor can help it, we are going to be in deep doo-doo vis-a-vis voting, and the
effort to beat the obviously racist laws that will be needed, will be enormous!
CT is spot-on. Pence is a useless pimple.
Bolero is a marvelous example of crescendo, being one big one.
BB: Manchin has been bought and sold. I do not know where Simea is, but she’s probably in the same place. Manchin is seen as the only Dem. who could be a senator in W.V., and Sinema is in Az., still a purple place,and her seat would be a fragile thing at the best of times, so it is no surprise to me that
the right has all but made them walk the plank.
PP: Excellent!
Beau: Nah, in our EXCEPTIONAL senate, of course not.

Ravel is supposed to have said that he only wrote one masterpiece, and that, sadly, it wasn’t music. But yes. And at that, it’s much like a “Rossini crescendo.”
JM: “Inherent Contempt”, sounds absolutely wonderful. If only Congress knew how to use it and then had the guts to do so.
NTN: Republicans are trying to have all voting going their way even if they’re in a minority? Trying isn’t the operative word here; it looks like they are succeeding. In the meantime, Democrats and Biden can’t pass any of their voter bills in Congress, no matter how much effort Groh-Wargo puts towards it.
AU: Sometimes it is good when the truth is yelled out really loud repetitively. Go for it, Titus.
ON: Few musical pieces lend themselves to a slow buildup of partaking instruments like Ravel’s Bolero where he has caravan the slowly coming into earshot of the caravanserai and then entering it. Marvellous.
RR: That bitter is really…well…bitter.
PP: Good, isn’t it?
Beau: Spot on as ever. Is there really a choice between spending the money on survival and trying to mitigate climate change effects and bringing home flag-covered coffins? Only when you’re a Republican.
maybe the first 25 seconds or so of the Parody Project should be played repeatedly on the TVs, cable, internet in W. Virginia…..and similar in AZ only change the name to Sinema….
