Teamwork

The Lincoln Project, VoteVets, and the Vindeman family teamed up for this video they call “American Family”:

Even More Brutal

So brutal it’s hard to watch, especially if you’ve ever been a hospital patient or had to visit one.

Hospital by the Lincoln Project.

Signs and Portents

No, I’m not referring to birds falling out of the sky, nor to the hellish coloration of California last week.

I’m thinking of Trump’s amazing descent into full-throated fascism and even eugenics. If you follow just one link in this post, follow that one. There is no low so low we cannot go lower.

I’m thinking of this ad — which is apparently not a parody other than perhaps a self-parody — for Sen. Kelly Loeffler, in which her spokesperson brags that  Loeffler is “more conservative than Attila the Hun”; the ad then cuts to Loeffler’s idea of Attila ordering a minion to “attack big government” — and concludes with his order to “eliminate the liberal scribes”.

In this context, Sen. Lindsey Graham’s spineless about-face on Supreme Court nominations seems almost banal.

Update: and now I can’t tell if this fake focus group introduced by Triumph the Insult Comic Dog is a real fake, or a fake fake where everyone is an actor. I really hope they are actors.

The Atrocity Key

As a public service, McSweeney’s maintains a continually updated website Lest We Forget the Horrors: A Catalog of Trump’s Worst Cruelties, Collusions, Corruptions, and Crimes.

That we need a (lengthy) list to keep track of it all is bad. What’s worse is that we also need an “Atrocity Key” to organize them:

Banned by Facebook

Used to be “Banned in Boston” was the way to sell books. Now the way to make a video go viral is to say it was banned by Facebook. Susie Madrak reports that,

JoshSchwerin, Priorities USA’s comms director, wrote on Twitter, “They are refusing to let @prioritiesUSA run this ad because, according to them, it violates their sensational content policy. ‘Ads must not contain shocking, sensational, inflammatory, or excessively violent content.'”

“[S]hocking, sensational, inflammatory, or excessively violent content”???
