Tuesday Stuff

Lawrence O’Donnell gives us some history on the Harley Davidson motorcycle company, and why the trade war started by the Gropenfuhrer is so ruinous so far for its U.S. employees (more here)…



…and David Pakman tells us that Sinclair is trying to push the child torture propaganda from Generalissimo Trump and his minions (more here – our Sinclair station in this area is WPHL, sadly…to find the Sinclair station in your area, click here)…



…and with the prior clip in mind, I give you the latest installment of “This Day In Doomsy History” (more or less) from 6/24/12 – see, before all of this hand-wringing about “civility” was going on (long before Sarah Huckabilly Sanders was denied her chicken-fried steak or whatever…and by the way, Dean Baquet can eat shit), there used to be a commentator on MSNBC named Martin Bashir, who gave us news/editorial segments like the one that follows…of course, he was impertinent enough to make somewhat of an off-color remark about a certain former half-term governor of Alaska for which he apologized, but was forced off the air for anyway - yep, more than anything, this clip is my response to this…



Update 6/29/18: Actually, as long as I’m talking about Willard Mitt, I should note Bain Capital’s greasy fingerprints all over the demise of Toys 'R’ Us, as noted here.

…and speaking of The Old Gray Lady, Farron Cousins reports on a Trump supporter mentioned in the Times (George Skarich, pictured above) who now wants the Democrats to help him after seeing what the ruinous tariffs from our Tiny-Handed, Treasonous Orange Egomaniac have done to his business, and I’d like to provide the following well-reasoned response…HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! YOU MORON!!!...



…and part of what I try to do here, in my admittedly imperfect way, is provide what I think is an important history lesson from time to time, and today represents one of those occasions since it marks the 70th anniversary of The Berlin Airlift, which we performed with Great Britain (here)…and nobody went on TV to yell about whether or not it should be left up to the states or if it was “big gumint” overreach or some dastardly liberal plot…everybody pretty much shut up and did the right thing, the way we used to in this country before the utterly ruinous conservative ascendancy…



…and since I led off this post with an item about motorcycles (and just featured a video with our brave Brit buds), I think this tune is definitely appropriate.
