Friday Stuff

Lawrence O’Donnell discusses #45/47’s selection of Charles Kushner as ambassador to France, which pushed the Hunter Biden pardon “story” off the front page for news orgs, apparently...and believe me when I tell you that I don’t want to side with Chris Christie on a damn thing, but when it comes to the Kushner prosecution, I don’t have any choice...as I watch this stuff, I find myself getting more and more enraged that the utterly clueless election losers of the @DNC couldn’t find a way to make Trump’s stoo-pidity, incompetence and criminality into campaign issues...this video also does a good job of explaining Kash Patel’s dangerous incompetence, as well as the truly seamy garbage (and, quite probably, criminal illegality) surrounding Pete Hegseth (I never thought I would find myself wanting to go back to the days of Repug U.S. Senator John Tower, who, despite the alcohol and “womanizing,” was indeed qualified for Defense Secretary...and by the way, what does this tell you?)...



...and Kyle Kulinski discusses our alleged pal “Bibi” flipping off Biden again and refusing to let in food trucks to Gaza to avert mass starvation...I don’t blame Biden for much to be honest (people are going to remember how good we actually had it under him pretty soon after 1/20/25), but I definitely blame him for caving to Netanyahu and Israel...and I think we’ve long since passed the point of having to note that the cowardly, murderous events of 10/7/23 prompted Israel’s response, which has gotten WAAAY out of hand in the meantime (NSFW/H)...



...and yes, the killing of the CEO of United Healthcare was indeed horrible and inexcusable and everyone involved should be brought to justice (here), but Anthony Vincent Gallo of Occupy Democrats tells us why the company was under investigation by the Justice Department (and look for that effort by the DOJ to get spiked by the incoming Trumpist numbskulls also, by the way, as Gallo says...love to be wrong, but I don’t think I am...more here)...



...and Farron Cousins lets us know that the final U.S. House race was called, and the Dem ended up flipping the seat from the Repug incumbent (here), giving MAGA Mike Johnson a 5-seat majority, which is indeed razor thin (not sure how it would work if incumbent House Repugs ended up in Trump’s cabinet; I’m assuming another Repug would replace them in each case)...



...and here are more seasonal tunes.
