  1. good to see Colbert back from vacation if for no other reason because he’s one of the few places today’s proletariats catch up with the news.  Noah and Oliver also do their part admirably bringing us up to date on the latest.  as the song sorta goes: a spoonful of satire makes the medicine go down.

    an “atta boy” to them all.

  2. trevor’s take

    Europe is experiencing massive heat waves, President Biden fist bumps Mohammad Bin Salman, Manchin shuts down climate compromise talks, and BMW offers subscriptions for heated seats.

  3. altho’ i take back the “atta boys” for their uncle joe bashings – their writers are taking the easy way with them to get cheap laughs.

  4. another LP ad that’s also not funny, pretty scary really

    Jul 18, 2022 Threats of violence from supporters, brazenly displayed weapons, targeting spouses and children — no intimidation tactic is too far for Trump and his ultra-MAGA mob. We’ll be watching the next #january6th hearing Thursday at 8 PM ET to see if witness intimidation should be added to the list.

  5. The Domino Theory –

     
    As the water goes down, its salinity goes up which kills algae, a food source for brine shrimp, he said. The shrimp is food to more than 10 million birds that depend on the lake during migrations, according to Stone.
    “They’ve got to get from central Canada to central Argentina or southern Mexico without a stopover point,” Stone told ABC News. “You just can’t do it. You’ve gotta refuel somewhere.”

    The Utah state legislature also passed a $40 million plan earlier this year to create a water trust to maintain and improve waterflow to the lake and U.S. Sen. Mitt Romney, R-UT, introduced the Great Salt Lake Recovery Act, which would “study historic drought conditions and protect the long-term health.”
     

  6. Seriously, as far as Ben and Jen are concerned, I hope they have a long a fruitful life in the years ahead. 
    Seriously-we: I’m wondering about the sneaky feeling that the potential jurors who “don’t know Steve Bannon” are lying in order to get on the jury.  Hope the vetting is thorough.

    Australia’s environment in ‘shocking’ decline, report finds
     

    Nineteen ecosystems are on the brink of collapse
    There are now more non-native plant species in Australia than native ones
    Australia has lost more species to extinction than any other continent
    All bar one category of environment examined has deteriorated since 2016, and more than half are now in a “poor” state.

  8. Threats of violence from the right are real. They’ve been threatening and acting out the violence since the bombing deaths of 4 little girls in Birmingham…..in the 60’s,….. and before that, since 1865 at LEAST. 
    So….that is their game, it hasn’t changed, it’s just undergone varying degrees of suppression.  Now of course, The dipshit and They think he’s opened their door and given them license.  
    But:
    Their violence will soon, once again, be gone with the wind.
     They’re surrounded.   As more and more of them begin to discern the weaknesses of their situation they will attempt to “abort the mission” and fervently strive to make themselves small—to blend back into the national woodwork.  
    That will leave other stuff, like climate to
    wrestle with
    As Solar might say:
    “Que lástima”.

  9. Unless the gop manages to win control of house and/or senate.
    In that case  all bets are off and
    all non-fascists better head for the fucking hulls.  This is about more than POLLS. from Corporate Media.

  10. Love that scene and song.  Matt Murphy is so frugging good I can’t stand it, and Aretha?  Who needs to say anything? She’s the Queen.

  11. Bob, I’m so happy that UT legislature and Mitt think that legislation can command water to the Great Salt Lake.  See any rain in the forecast? (Hint – not in the next 2 weeks, and high temps between 96 and 101)  I wonder how much water will evaporate from GSL in the next 8 weeks?

  12. Ultimately, the good guys are gonna lose, so i’m just going to stick with personal principle while i have the luxury
     
    i just bought some fun new budget camo accessories for my wardrobe so i can blend in with the low-IQ overlords, now i just gotta learn to keep my mouth shut.
     
    That last part’s going to be difficult

  13. OR MAYBE
     
    young liberal women will rally in unprecedented numbers to get out the vote and reclaim democracy from those who would subjugate them and save us all in the process
     
    *holds breath* 🤞

  14. Craig’s screaming poll numbers as if someone important needs to listen, well in that spirit i’ll strongly suggest, once again, Biden needs to throw some fair-trade organic quinoa to the base and quick or they won’t turn-out for midterms, gonna get shellacked by a bunch of dopey white dudes
     
    Take those votes for granted at all of our peril
     
    ok ✌️🇺🇦🖕🇷🇺

  15. Bink… they had better get off their asses and vote.  I was asked to go to a protest last weekend about abortion rights in my state capital, Concord.  I turned it down…  done with protesting.  I’ve done my share… time for younger people to take over.  I will vote…  I always vote.
     
    Wake up young people!
