"Hi. The Supreme Court – which has never been an apolitical entity – has been coming out with some really frightening rulings lately and is likely to keep it up. That's because fringe right-wing groups have infiltrated the Supreme Court and are now circumventing democracy to make laws."

Even before I watch this video, based solely on the title and description, I just want to repeat once again that this is something that I predicted would be the case even as far back as when Trump was first elected as POTUS in 2016. This is not a prediction that I'm glad to have gotten correct, obviously. I sorely wish I would have been proven wrong.

Now to actually watch the video...

Oh, right, this video brings up something else that I've discussed quite a bit in the past, that being the unfortunate fact that Mitch McConnell, one of the most rancid shitstains to ever dirty a pair of underwear worn by collective humanity as a whole, is a person who is, horrifically, still alive and in a position of power. As much as I utterly loathe Donald Trump and wish that Trump could be launched into the sun inside of a very slow moving, poorly (or, perhaps, excessively) ventilated rocket, I hate Bitch McConnell even more than I hate Trump, as I've said before, and wish that McConnell could be strapped to the outside of that same rocket, preferably right in front of the engine exhaust part of it. And, honestly, even then, I would feel bad for the sun, due to it having been polluted by the insertion of these two vile puddles of human-shaped diarrhea via intentionally poorly-made rocket.

Needless to say, this was an extended-double-middle-finger video. I'll just say it yet again: the GQP and all of the infrastructure in place that supports the GQP needs to be dismantled and needs to cease to exist until the end of time and beyond. Because they are for damn sure proceeding full steam ahead on that whole "usurp[ing] for themselves the reigns of government; destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion" thing they they've been doing, flagrantly, for the past several decades.

(Also, I have added a new "supreme court" tag to this post, and at some point I will be back-tagging all the other posts I've made that mention it, however long that process may take, and I'm sure I'll probably miss a few as usual. [EDIT] Well, for now, I've gone back as far as the "politics" tag will let me, which is only 500 entries, which got me barely back as far as 2019, which sucks. That's where I gave up on it, at least for now. I guess, eventually, I need to break up the "politics" tag by year, the same as I've still to this day have not finished doing with the old "games" tag, so... yeah... I'll get right on that, I'm sure... *weary sigh* [/EDIT])

"Hi. In today's episode, we do a deep dive on Brett Kavanaugh, The Federalist Society, and the rich, religious, conservatives who are taking over our courts."

It's almost amusing that "being a rapist" isn't even really the worst thing about Brett Kavanaugh. And this video isn't even mostly about Brett Kavanaugh, but about some other, even worse asshat that I'd never even heard of prior to watching this.

Well, let's see how these conservatives like it when a Muslim school inevitably applies for public funding. Or, say, a Scientology school, or a Satanism school. Hell, if this shit goes through, I kind of hope that does happen, and sooner rather than later. And the first one of those conservatives that whines that Muslim/Scientology/Satanism/whatever-explicitly-non-Christian-religious schools shouldn't be receiving taxpayer money is the first one that needs to sit the hell down and shut the hell up.

"'We are a Muslim family and I want those values taught at school,' she said. 'Our morals as a society come from the Quran. I feel we are being excluded simply because we are people of religious background.'"

"'We are a Satanist family and I want those values taught at school,' she said. 'Our morals as a society come from the Satanic Bible. I feel we are being excluded simply because we are people of religious background.'"

"'We are a Scientologist family and I want those values taught at school,' she said. 'Our morals as a society come from Dianetics. I feel we are being excluded simply because we are people of religious background.'"

...which I found via a Facebook post of screenshots by Starla Huchton.

Original Twitter thread. Thread Reader version.

Recently, I found a song that, more often than not these days, perfectly captures how I feel about a variety of topics, such as politics and the antics of the modern video game industry, among many, many others.

Today, especially, it has been on infinite auto-repeat in my head for most of the day, so far.

Here is that song. (NSFW warning due to egregious profanity.)


(EDIT)

Here is an over-twice-as-long version of the same:



(/EDIT)

"In this week's episode of Some More News, we do a deep dive on the Republicans' attacks on our voting rights, our right to protest and, well, Democracy. Which is bad and not good."

Copy/pasted from Facebook:

( Behind cut for length and for asininity. )

"With Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation looming, let's look at some Supreme Court confirmations that happened in this same week. Except, you know, different years."

Alternate link for owsf2000, since they apparently don't want people in Canada to view their show on their official Youtube channel, for whatever asinine, dumbshit reasons.

"That's not how trade negotiations work, you dumb motherfucker."

That's pretty much Trump's presidency in a nutshell: everyone else saying "That's not how [insert thing here] works, you dumb motherfucker."


"How on Earth did Navarro get a job at the fucking White House?" John Oliver asks.

Because Trump has a penchant for picking people who are 100% ass-backwards wrong for the positions he picks them for, because either (1) Trump is a dumbshit moron who is badly playacting at being the President because has no goddamn clue what he is actually doing, (2) he is actively, maliciously seeking to intentionally harm the United States on Putin's orders, or (3) some combination of (1) and (2).

(See also: Ajit Pai, Betsy DeVos, Scott Pruitt, Brett Kavanaugh, etc., etc., etc.)

(EDIT) With the creation of this new last week tonight tag, I also went and posted some videos that I had apparently only posted to Facebook previously (with the DW posts backdated to when those videos were published on Youtube, rather than when I posted them on FB). I don't know if all of that shit spammed the feeds of whoever is still paying any attention to me on here (*waves at owsf2000*), and if it did, I apologize. I didn't notice the "Don't show on Reading Pages" button when changing the dates until after I'd already posted most of them. (EDIT 2) And it apparently did, because I just looked at Mord's reading page and they're all showing up on there. Oops. >_>; (/EDIT 2) (/EDIT)
