12.4-5 Open Threads
DeathSantis’ latest antics about creating a private paramilitary force down here in Florida are nothing new. He’s a tRumper and another yahoo in a long line of GOPuke Far Right opportunists. They play to a very large (unfortunately) group of American idiots. This group is hopelessly deluded by organized religion, too lazy to think for itself, violent, and intolerant. I don’t have any answers. I do know I’m sick and tired of them and the political creeps who prey on them. The Nest is Open and its usual breath of fresh air. Take care fellow Progressive Birdies! 🙂
Tips for Orl for getting our weekend thread started!
Thanks Ms. Benny! 🙂 Here’s a link to a brilliant review of both The Beatles and Jackson’s “Get Back” documentary.

I’m saving Get Back for the week between Xmas and NY’s.
Believe me, educated popular music fans (hint, hint 🙂 ) will not be disappointed.
Kamala Harris is undergoing yet another transition.
DNC coronation/puppet underway.
So, Harris-Buttagag in 2024? Donna Brazile is such a blatant piece of DNC media crap, it would be laughable if it wasn’t so serious. Harris’ problem is her “coverage.” Says who? RW garbage like Politico? Harris has more problems than that. She’s unfit for any office including POTUS.
So after ramming $hilly down our throats now this, they never learn do they.
Easier to get a gun than a drivers license or to vote in the USA
Been easier to get a ‘Saturday Night Special’ than a healthy meal in this godforsaken country for decades! 💩💩
To me this is about the WASPs wanting control over women, they could care less about abortion. If their mistress gets pregnant they simply fly them to a country that will do the procedure for them. I’ve always been pro choice as it’s between the Woman and her Dr. It’s the women that won’t have access or $$$ to get an abortion who suffer
Beto doesn’t have to worry about paying for his meds. He needs to do more than hide behind tweets.
Beto needs to work on his debating skills. He’s a good campaigner, but his debate skills are lacking. If he would tell the DLC to leave the campaign to his own devices, he has a better shot at winning. Symone Sanders, for example, would not be a good person to chair his campaign.
Wisconsin’s Democratic governor vetos GOP anti-abortion bills
Fri, December 3, 2021, 6:00 PM
Wisconsin’s Democratic Gov. Tony Evers on Friday vetoed five anti-abortion bills passed by the Republican-controlled state legislature.
Why it matters: The veto announcement comes at the end of a week in which the right to an abortion was front and center in America.

The Wisconsin bills would have added additional requirements on what medical providers must tell women who are seeking an abortion.
One of the measures, which Evers had previously vetoed in 2019 as well, would mandate a lifetime prison sentence for any doctor who does not attempt to offer medical care for a baby born following an attempted abortion, an extraordinarily unusual situation.
Evers is the only thing holding our fascist controled senate and assembly at bay in WI. If he loses in 22 it will make Walkers 8 years look like a church bake sale
What the next gereration has to look forward to after our unbridled consumerism and lack of recycling ruins the enviroment. Off to the landfills it goes to pollute even more.
Mainstream media definitely is biased against progressives, it turns out they are also biased against moderates vs. Trumpists.

WAPO controlled by Jeff Bezos. Jeff, your megalomaniacal stupid editorial does not impress me. You are creaming in your pants to get something worse than tRump elected so you can suck up more money and control more minds. Go screw yourself sideways, you piece of 💩.
Thanks orl!

What exactly did these people expect? You’ve got a getting senile President, a flako Vice President, and definitely getting senile, corrupt House Speaker. And the GOPuke side? JFCOAC!
Republicans being Republicans
Am I living in 2021 or 1821?
I would go back around 150yrs or so to the salem witch trials.
Since Sandy Hook didnt result in change, Michigan shouldnt expect any change.
All to impress Cuban voters in Florida who aren’t going to vote Dem anyway.

Menendez and Rubio are both Cuban-American political crooks who have made stay-out-of-jail fortunes pandering to Rich RW Cuban groups including quite a few in organized crime cartels. It really is nauseating how these literal pieces of human slime don’t get their just desserts. No wonder people like me are cynical politically.
TPTB Are getting evermore used to having their way. You can bet the next coronation will be with someone they know they can control.
