Friday Stuff


I noted yesterday that Cenk Uygur tore into Kamala Harris presumably because she wasn’t angry enough in her debate with that liar Mike Pence – well, to be fair, this was a good moment from her (and that horrible moderator let Pence drone on of course, and Harris asked for equal time, but this Susan Page person wouldn’t give it to her).

And I realize Harris didn’t have enough time to say this, but here is what I would have said about Pence’s garbage attack on the Iran nuclear deal. It was signed on by 5 countries including Russia and China, and the point of the deal wasn’t to get Iran to stop being bad terrorist actors. That would be a laudable goal, but it wasn’t the point of the nuke deal. The point of the deal WAS TO GET IRAN TO STOP ENRICHING URANIUM AND DEVELOPING ITS NUCLEAR CAPABILITY!! AND BECAUSE ORANGE SHITHEAD WANTED TO PRETEND TO BE A TOUGH GUY, HE WALKED AWAY FROM THE TREATY AND FROM NOW ON IT WILL BE SIGNIFICANTLY HARDER FOR THE U.S. TO BROKER SIMILAR DEALS BECAUSE OUR WORD DOESN’T MEAN ANYTHING!!! Also, the money Iran got represented their frozen assets - they would never have agreed to the nuke deal without getting that back. That's how adults (even ones you don't like) carry on negotiations, which is something our ruling executive regime clearly doesn't understand.

(And by the way, this is the M.O. for Republican presidents, like Dubya did with the Kyoto Protocols...walking away from deals I mean.)

Also, I hate to break the word to anybody, but Iran was in compliance with the nuke deal. As stated, WE were the ones who bailed on it.

(I’m plenty steamed over this one clip. I guarantee you I NEVER would have made it through the whole debate - and here are more Harris highlights.)...



...and here are all the times the albino Indiana bigot refused to answer direct questions...



...and Rachel Maddow tells us here that, in opposition to their months of bragging about Mango Mussolini’s negative tests for COVID, suddenly they’re clamming up all over the place now on that subject, except to blame Gold Star military families...every time I think that this administration can’t plummet to any further new depth, they find a way to do it...



...and while we’re on the subject, Farron Cousins tells us that the worst may be yet to come for Our Orange Pustule on COVID-19 – I for one want to see him live so he gets his ass beat electorally on November 3rd, along with everyone else in that thoroughly wretched political party of his...



...and John and Yasmin Khan of “The Damage Report” tells us how that mush head Rick Santorum interrupted fellow CNN panelist Gloria Borger to defend Pence against the claim that he didn’t interrupt Harris as much as the panel said that Pence did...truly, you can’t make up this stuff...



...and Thom Hartmann gives us another important history lesson, this time in response to that Repug U.S. Senate clown Mike Lee of Utah, who said something along the lines of not liking democracy, or some such stupidity...



...and today marks what would have been the 80th birthday of John Lennon - here are a couple of his most memorable tunes for the occasion.
