Thursday Stuff


I don’t believe Brian Williams actually took a ride in an Iraqi helicopter before he hosted this segment – might as well start the new year with a little snark…Jason Johnson is exactly right of course, and shockingly, Bill Kristol may have actually stumbled onto some truths, though of course, being the pissant he is, he tries to sneak in a bit of a dig at “the left”…I’m presenting this as a reminder that, yes, impeachment is still in play (even though #MoscowMitch will construct a show trial to absolve the Gropenfuhrer), as well as a reminder of the life forms we have to contend with as the 2020 elections ramp up still further…



…and David Pakman takes a look at the cross-tabs, if you will, on the performance of our economy (I thought this was kind of an interesting analysis)…



…and keeping with money matters, I thought this was another good segment by Robert Reich on how Citizens United led us to Mango Mussolini…



…and Lawrence O’Donnell interviewed New York Times reporter Jesse Drucker on the 2017 tax cut scam (hold every Repug accountable for this, people, including this guy)...



…and Pap and Farron Cousins talk about Google playing both sides of the fence when it comes to donating money to politicians and campaigns, including climate change deniers (and I'm the last one to praise "centrist Democrats," but to say you can't tell the difference between a "cent-Dem" and a Repug is nonsense...and yeah, Kamala Harris had issues, but THEY ALL have issues, and she got crowded off the stage because of our corporate media loving Mayor Pete, Klobuchar, and this week's millionaire running for the Dem nomination - just offering an explanation and not crying about it because, as a notable politician once said, politics ain't beanbag...and once more, I'm not crazy about linking to The Putin Network, but it looks like the reporting holds up...and "biostitutes"...good one)...



...and yeah, with the holidays over, I need to start paying attention to new music again, so let me begin with this selection.
