Friday Stuff

Thom Hartmann tells us about the Gropenfuhrer kicking off his re-election campaign – with war vs. Iran, or at least one hell of a try at it (and Bill Maher lost his ABC show because of what he said about the 9/11 terrorists, which was an unpleasant truth but he was contextually right…more here)…



…and aside from Jeh Johnson, Ana and Jayar Jackson of TYT call out the warmongers appearing on our “influencer” media, including Gen. Jack Keane on Fix Noise (citing a Lee Fang story…and great job by Ana to attack that wingnut lie about Obama giving Iran money for the hell of it; Iran’s assets were unfrozen to sign the nuke deal, and legally they were entitled to that…GREAT commentary related to sports with Jayar at the end)…



…and John I. and Brett Erlich of The Damage Report tell us about more lies from Sect’y of State Mike Pompeo; must be a day of the week with a “y” in it (and only in Trumpworld would the SOS be the point person on military stuff…and sure, Repugs in the Senate thought offing Soleimani would be a distraction from impeachment – typically disgusting – and yeah, the attacks were “imminent” but they supposedly don’t know when or where? And I think Erlich is pretty spot-on here, as well as John particularly at the very end)…



…and this CBC report has more on the shooting down of Flight PS752 – God, I hope and pray the Trump gang had nothing to do with this…the investigation is unfolding (more here)…



Update 1/11/20: Cold comfort in the wake of this terrible tragedy, but just setting the record straight (here), though only a Fix Noise lunatic would think that this totally absolves the U.S. from escalating hostilities...

…and Brian Tyler Cohen has more “then vs. now” stuff from Huckleberry Graham on impeachment, as well as potentially calling “Blow ‘Em Up” Bolton to testify…



…and while Mango Mussolini and his pals continue to blunder on the world stage, they keep trying to do stuff when they think no one else is looking, such as to try and gut NEPA (Chris Hayes interviews former Obama EPA head Gina McCarthy… and yeah, more silence from our “faith leaders” in response)…



…and I now give you the latest installment of “This Day In Doomsy Histroy” from 1/10/11, with K.O. giving an abbreviated version of a “Special Comment” on the conviction of “The Bug Man” (more here – yeah, the Repug sliming of the opposition is pretty much “evergreen” then as now, isn’t it?...more here)…



…and RIP Neil Peart of Rush.
