Glenn Kirschner – “Lawlessness begets lawlessness”
Now This News – Paxton Smith Reflects on Her Viral Abortion Speech
Ring of Fire – Scholars Warn That Republicans Have Launched A Total Assault On Democracy
Thom Hartmann – Is the GOP Insanity Being Driven By Trump or 40 Years of Madness? – Our Tom has been saying this for years.
Rocky Mountain Mike – “Bye Bye Blog”
Beau – Let’s talk about coming together under China and good news….
Glenn Kirschner with a “Top Five” list o Don McGahn’s testimony
Meidas Touch – More Jason Kande
Armageddon nUpdate – One of Titus’s best. Touching even. It he talks too fast for you, slowing it down to 75% usually helps a lot.
VoteVets now has two ads each aimed at a specific state … and the two states are West Virginia and Arizona. Let me see … what do those twp states have in common?
Beau – Let’s talk about Trump, Facebook, and the future….
Keith – I don’t know who he is talking to that thinks Democrats are afrais to arrest Trump**. I don’t see that at all. I’ve heard things like it in the past (over much less consequential actions0, but I’m not hearing it now. And if too hasty arrest causes any case, or any charges, no matter how small, to be tossed out in the courts, Keith is going to look awfully stupid. I love Keith but some one with more prosecutorial knowledge than I needs to sit him down and have a talk.
Glenn Kirschner – “No, he won’t.”
Meidas Touch – Taking Back the Word “Patriot”
NBC – Destroying education is not enough for Texas. They need to destroy voting rights too.
Ring of Fire – You can turn it off when you get to the ad atthe end.
Keith OLbermann vs. Michael Flynn – Keith has Flynn’s number, as does Alexander Vindman’s brother. But Keith is wrong about one thing. The President should never tell the Justice Department what to investigate – it is supposed to be an independent agency. But Merrick Garland IMO should be on this (and may be – they don’t discuss ongoing investigations, and they shouldn’t.)
Beau – Let’s talk about a question of privilege and Cher….
This is the thread I had ready for yesterday, but didn’t want to post it then as we all had other things on out minds. I am also posting it early so that a thread will be up early for comments So please consider it today’s Open Thread and hang comments on it. I have even included a “Blast from the Past” at the end (with a bit of explanation as it’s often misunderstood.)
Glenn Kirschner – “A Tale of Two Insurrections”
The Lincoln Project – Memorial Day
Armageddon Update – Yes, Titus can be tough to listen to. But his facts are sound. Sadly, that’s getting harder to find.
Ring of Fire – Giuliani phone call – Farron manages not to editorialize too much (and of course Hattie is always adorable.)
Thom Hartmann – Why so few plea deals? You may already be aware of this … but he explains it so well.
Beau – “Let’s talk about a second Operation New Life and counter arguments….” I want one of those T-shirts.
“Blast from the Past” – Going Home – Paul Robeson
There is more to this song (and to the singer) than most people are aware of. Sure Dvorak – but without two other men (both nlack) it would never have existed. Harry T.Burleigh. William Arms Fisher. It has CC but CC does badle with music, so the lyrics are here.
There will be more videos this afternoon, also.
Meidas Touch – Carol Leonnig on the January 6th Commission: If We Don’t Investigate, “It’s Going to Happen Again”
MSNBC Nicole Wallace on potential Manhattan prosecutions
Now This News – No surprises here.
Thom Hartmann – Crime and the GOP
Now This News – I have a new hero.
Orange Acres Episode 8
Beau – This is only one point which can (and absolutely should) be made about statistics. It’s not as easy to spot as onfusing correlation with causation, but it’s equally important.
Meidas Touch – GOP Betrayed America
Meidas Touch – that one was very serious – this one is bit lighter (Noel Caster is a comedian, after all)
Rand Paul slams Richard Marx. Marx responds.

Now This News – Restorative justice in action (hanky alert)
Orange Acres Episode 7
Beau – Needs to be said – and needs action.
Glenn Kirschner – more on grand juries (I think I can figure out why “23”)
Meidas Touch – One more with Charlie Sykes
The Lincoln Project – mot, IMO, their best
Lawrence and Lawrence on MSNBC
Now This News – another everyday hero.
Rob Rogers work in progress
Yes, I know it’s a commercial. Humor me to the end,
Beau – “Let’s talk about ex-cons, self-doubt, and organizing….” is actually for one (anonymous) person – so powerfully that I needed a hanky … and I think it has stuff anyone can learn from
Glenn Kirschner on progress of Trump** investigation (he’s back)
The Lincoln Project – “Conspiracy”
Meidas Touch – another with Charlie Sykes
Thom Hartmann – Texas Says You May Not Teach Racism In Classrooms – At All!
This is a real Confederate flag, actually used in battle. Yes, it looks like a T-shirt stuck on a golf club, but he bbought it at an estate sale – Estate of Colonel Cletus P. Twatwafffle III. It was waved on the battleground with rebel yells, such as “we quit”,”please dont kill us”,”I want my mommy”
So like…
Keep waving that flag of surrender.
