Friday Stuff


Cenk and Ana of TYT tell us about the sudden resignation of Defense Secretary Jim Mattis (and sorry, Cenk – though I definitely don’t claim to be an expert of course and it’s good to get our military out of harm’s way anywhere, the people I read who know this stuff say the Syria move is bad on balance because we’re turning our back on the Kurds, which has bad implications all over the place…I think Cenk is right from about 9:25 to 13:25, though, and Ana is spot-on also)…



Update 12/22/18: Uh, yeah, I would say that it's time to "break the glass" also (here).

…and Seth Meyers gives us another “Closer Look” segment on the shutdown, the wall (which will never happen, by the way, nor should it), Laura Ingraham, Rudy 9iu11ani, and the Moscow Trump Tower letter that the Gropenfuhrer claims he didn’t sign…ooopsie!



…and Farron Cousins tells us that Tucker Carlson is continuing to lose advertisers over his racism and xenophobia – womp, womp (and I know Cenk has defended Carlson, but I respectfully submit that Cenk is wrong…Nate Silver also)...



…and just in time for the holidays, I now give you the latest installment of “This Day In Doomsy History” (more or less) from 12/22/08, in which we learn about Former President Highest Disapproval Rating In Gallup Poll History and so-called “midnight regulations,” and apparently 43 got more passed than any other president in history, many of which were gifts to energy industry lobbyists at the expense of our environment of course, a tactic also employed by his recently deceased father – oh, but we’re supposed to love 43 now because he ate candy from Michelle Obama at McCain’s funeral…yeah, right…and as noted here, Congressional Republicans attempted to pass HR 4361 to prevent the then-departing Obama Administration from issuing its own version of “midnight regs”…typical…



...and here are more seasonal selections.
