"Hi. Labor journalist Kim Kelly joins Katy, Cody, and Jonathan to talk about the mass shooting in Minneapolis, the leadership purge at the CDC, the attempted purge at the Federal Reserve, and of course, Cracker Barrel."
To start with, some stuff about coal miners and about how Trump actually hates them as much as anyone else (or, perhaps more accurately, is just as indifferent to them as he is to anyone not named Donald Trump, anyway), while simultaneously lying about how much he loves them, because lying is a thing that Trump just does a lot.
As for the recent shooting... it would be far more surprising if RWNJs didn't use this particular shooting to ramp up anti-trans hate, so... of course they're doing that. The apparent fact that this person was trans should be the very least of anyone's concerns, considering all the other rancid dogshit allegedly associated with this person. But no, we don't hear about that. All we hear is that they were trans, which means all trans people are evil and must be (further) vilified. *weary goddamn sigh*
Strange how, when it's a cis and/or white and/or male and/or RWNJ person who does a mass shooting, as is actually the case far more often than not, we don't hear them ramping up anti-cis/white/male/RWNJ hate. Go fucking figure.
(And again, if "God" "saved" Trump in Butler, "He" did so only to have Trump available for [re]infliction upon the country a few months later, because Trump is nothing if not a [vaguely] human-shaped natural disaster.)
As for all the other stuff, re: the CDC and the Fed... *shrug* ...just typical Trump """""administration""""" disastrous bullshit. Bullshit that needs to stop or be stopped, but there's not a damn thing that most of us can do about it until after Trump is gone, at the very earliest.
And I could not really care less about Cracker Barrel. If they want to change their logo and then change it back again just because a bunch of whingey fuckheads (including Trump) whinged about it, then blah de fucking blah.

It took this whole nonsense for me to even realize that it has a completely different meaning down States-side. Also, it reminded me that all y'all are just plain crazy sometimes.

I recall next to nothing about it, so... I suppose it was neither super great nor super terrible? Knowing me from two or three decades ago, I probably just got a basic-ass cheeseburger and fries, which one can find just about anywhere.
