Republicans refuse to debate (6 minutes):

Well next month (or the day after tomorrow if you will) has been celebrated as Black History Month in the US for decades. But this year white politicos of the Republican persuasion have decided that talking about Black history makes white kids feel bad about themselves. Well, too bad. We shall continue to talk about reality here.

Speaking of reality, President Biden has done a magnificent job of turning the economy around. Yet the press barely notices. What’s a guy got to do?

D) This week’s outrage comes to us from Disney where what cartoon character will be outfitted in a pantsuit for the first time?

F) Whose girlfriend was given immunity so she could testify against her former boyfriend in an underage sex scandal?

G) What major sporting event starts later this week in the face of the continuing covid pandemic?

I know I bang this drum a lot but FOX News is a national security threat the likes of which the USA has not seen. Especially when you consider Tucker’s show is piped into U.S. military bases globally. Nothin’ funny about it. It’s a weapon of chaos, sedition and mass death. – Scott Linnen tweet

My apology to any Republican who were upset by Black History questions. More to come.

It used to be that the GOP was a mostly corporatist party that embraced racism and bigotry to get enough votes to win. 

Now it’s just a racist and bigoted party that embraces corporatism to give it cover. – Pam Keith
