Wednesday Stuff


David Pakman discusses Kaitlan Collins of CNN interviewing Repug U.S. House Rep Nancy Mace about the impeachment inquiry that the Freedumb Caucus in the House has started against President Biden...yeah, no evidence apparently and a bunch of bills to fund the government and other important needs sitting on the desk of “15 Votes for Speaker” McCarthy as noted here, but THIS is what they decide to do with their time – pathetic...



...and as far as I’m concerned, the impeachment BS is in part meant to distract from this, which is Biden’s overwhelmingly positive record on the economy (as Jayar and David Shuster tell us), though there are some chinks in the armor, as it were (and yes, I know about the damn polling), and if the “party of Lincoln” weren’t so hung up on the usual BS, including “values” nonsense (OMIGOD, THE GAYS AND THE TRANNIES ARE GOING TO INDOCTRINATE YOU!!), they might help to address the actual financial issues Jayar and Shuster are talking about (yeah, I can dream, I know)...



...though, apparently, the “party of Lincoln” apparently has FINALLY “gotten the memo” on how toxic their “pro life” label has become and are looking to rebrand themselves...yeah, it’s all about the marketing for these cretins and that’s it...God forbid that they’d actually, y’know, change their awful policy – fine, go ahead and keep losing elections (Rayy Vana, Cenk and Nina Turner...and I don’t understand Cenk saying “politicians” are massive liars – yeah, but on this issue, it’s the “R” party and that’s about it – Cenk does make a GREAT point with that “You just described Roe” line...and isn’t it also amusing that somehow we NEVER found out who leaked the draft Dobbs opinion? My money is on Ginni Thomas, and someone will have to prove to me that I’m wrong...and even though I agree with her, what’s with this “Senator” Nina Turner business? She’s not in Ohio state government any more)...



...and this More Perfect Union clip tells us about Maine fighting back against soaring utility bills and lousy service (with Pine Tree Power vs. Versant and Central Maine Power, with the latter two entities including a lot of overseas investment...that by itself isn’t a bad thing if they’re providing the best customer service, which doesn’t even seem to be remotely happening, apparently)...



...and David Doel discusses an interview Jake Tapper of CNN conducted with UAW president Shawn Fain, with the spot-on quote “we’re going to wreck THEIR economy,” referring to the shareholder class of course and the pending strike...and I honestly don’t know why Doel wouldn’t give Biden credit for anything positive from the NLRB, which is an agency of the federal government after all (and yeah, the Andrew Ross Sorkin clip with the Ford CEO is about what you can expect – the Ford guy is indirectly right when he says “we live in a different world”...also, I know ’24 is still a ways off, but why anybody would even imagine voting for a “green” – which is pretty much a vote for Trump – is something I cannot fathom)...



...and fall isn’t officially here yet, so I think there’s still time to get in a bit of a dreamy end-of-summer tune (and a newer one at that).
