Emergency Potluck 8/22 Good News Roundup [1]

['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

Date: 2023-08-22

Indictment/Arraignment/Setting Trial Dates Season is now officially open. Indictment, screaming, surrender watch, screaming, arraignment, screaming, trial, screaming, sentencing, screaming. Lather, rinse, repeat. Whatever they scream about loudest, do more of.

Welcome to today’s Emergency Potluck Good News Roundup! We may not know why there is no regular GNR posted today, but we know for sure that the Best Comment Section on the Internet can handle it. Feel free to mine the links below for stories worth highlighting. And add music, pooties, woozles and whatever else cheers you up and readies you for the fray.

Opening Music

As someday it may happen that an author must be found,

I’ve made a little list, I’ve made a little list,

Of sources of the best Good News that everywhere is found,

So that none of it is missed, so none of it is missed! Oh, Lordy, there are tapes and now subpoenas by the score!

And witnesses in hundred lots and documents and more!

And animals and science facts and “Biden gets things done”!

Republicans in disarray—in chaos! Oh, what fun!

Cartoons to make you laugh or cry and weirdness, we insist.

We make sure they don’t get missed, they’ll none of ‘em be missed. We’ve got them on the list—we’ve got them on the list,

So they’ll none of them be missed, they’ll none of them be missed.

Gilbert’s original lyrics in The Mikado included

And apologetic statesmen of a compromising kind

Such as — What d'ye call him — Thing'em-bob,

And likewise — Never-mind,

And 'St— 'st— 'st— and What's-his-name,

And also You-know-who —

The task of filling up the blanks I'd rather leave to you.

But it really doesn't matter whom you put upon the list,

For they'd none of 'em be missed — they'd none of 'em be missed!

Repellent Republicans Rushing to Ruin

Liars and Cheaters and Thieves, Oh My

That part hasn’t changed at all since then, except that nearly all of them now belong to only one party. But as the man implies, that’s all bad news, and we can simply concentrate on throwing the entire Party of Rascality out. Or to a large extent, allowing them to throw themselves under the electric bus.

Aim for the heart

You might want to include some sore of brain bleach music here after diving into the swamp.

Good News

It turns out that

Wrong-Wing overreach is our best weapon in the next election cycle.

They are still driving out millions of their own children every year, and now they are going after their own women and elders.

As hpg and others constantly remind us, our prospects in 2024 are excellent. (Remember, repetition is good. I repeat, repetition is good.)

We are beating back voter suppression in the courts and through GOTV.

The DOJ has plans to arrest another thousand election terrorists.

Marc Elias, the ACLU, the NAACP LDF, and others are on top of the states asserting a right to overturn Presidential elections and name their own electors.

Dems are getting our messages out.

Rs are no longer in disarray—It’s total chaos and fog of internal civil war now.

And there’s plenty more where that came from.

Science! Animals! Weirdness!

Music?
