Mangy comments at the Youtube page:

Mangy Fetlocks is not afraid to admit that Wisconsin’s senior Senator, Ron Johnson, is remarkable in many ways. He is remarkably dull, remarkably dense, and is remarkably lacking in transparency. After engaging in the insurrection for “only a few minutes”, he’s remarkably unashamed of backing Trump and The Big Lie. Among his brilliant plans for Wisconsinites (and all American retirees) is to put Social Security up for a vote each year, knowing that, since he is rich and will be on a very plush Senate retirement plan, he needn’t give a damn about how other retirees live. (if they live at all.)

The Plane Truth 0

Sam and his crew discuss Republicans’ plan to condemn old persons to penury gut social security.

Aside:

I know more than one person whose only income is social security. If Republicans take that away, they will have nothing.

Then will come Republicans complaining about the growth in the homeless population.

Oh, yeah, I understand that, if you want to meet a Republican, just hang out at the intersection of Greed and Cruelty. You won’t have a long wait.

A little too hands-on, if you ask me.

Both Sides Don’t 0

Michael in Norfolk calls out the cowardly bothsiderism of our political–er–journalists. A snippet (emphasis added):

For years too many journalists and news outlets have engaged in spreading false equivalency between GOP lies and Democrat positions and policies. Most seem too afraid of being called “partisan” even when reporting the truth and objective facts and statistics.

Can anything be stupider than that a man has the right to kill me because he lives on the other side of a river and his ruler has a quarrel with mine, though I have not quarrelled with him?

SeattlePI reports on yet more metastasized frolics. Here’s the lede:

Facebook parent company Meta has been ordered to pay $10.5 million in legal fees to Washington state atop a nearly $25 million fine for repeated and intentional violations of campaign finance disclosure laws.

That’s pocket change to the Zuckerborg.

Tom Clancy:

The control of information is something the elite always does, particularly in a despotic form of government. Information, knowledge, is power. If you can control information, you can control people.
