Sam, Emma and the crew from The Majority Report tell us about Combover Caligula’s CNBC fanboy Joe Kernan trying to cut through #47’s BS on the economy...good explanation by Sam on why the wingnuts think too much employment encourages inflation, which – spoiler alert – isn’t true, along with justifiable worries about “stagflation”...with every utterance out of the mouth of Our Treasonous Orange Yam, it’s more and more apparent how “around the bend” he truly is mentally...it’s really difficult to listen to this geriatric POS continue to run his mouth about polling, particularly since this is EXACTLY what we were warned about in the election last year (and maybe he REALLY IS being fed this ridiculous propaganda by his staff about how loved he supposedly is because they don’t want the boss to get mad and start throwing ketchup packets or something)...and oh yeah, let’s say something about Jasmine Crockett and Davy Crockett...as far as I’m concerned, anyone who supported this nematode for *preznit last year should be made to wear ashes and sack cloth...and oh yeah, there are those skeevy remarks about spokes-liar Karoline Leavitt also for good measure (and I'm not sure if we're going to be seeing "revisions" on jobs data any time soon from the BLS, Sam, though we should of course)...
...and along with assorted other madness from our cadre of Trumpist sycophants, Robert Reich tells us that the Gropenfuhrer is trying to gut OSHA, following up on his eviscerating of that government body during his first term...oh, and he wants someone from Amazon to head that agency; you know, the company with ridiculous worker injury rates where employees have to pee in bottles in lieu of actual bathroom breaks (here)...some extremely important labor history in this clip (maybe a few weeks early on this, but the time seems to be right)...
...and I almost decided to ignore this, but it’s so patently absurd that I decided to pay attention anyway...John and Brett Erlich (not them) tell us about wingnut online grifter Candace Owens getting sued by the Macrons (the French president and his wife) over Owens’s claim that the French first lady is really a man...and I agree with John; being the elderly boomer that I am, I can recall a time when we read newspapers/magazines and watched about 6-7 different channels (UHF and VHF – you can Google it), and you largely stayed informed that way (radio too); now, partly because of a greater and greater disintegration of our lives overall, we rely on the dreaded social media for this stuff, which allows charlatans like Owens to flourish, where success is measured by ginning up outrage for views and clicks as opposed to dumb stuff like, y’know, PROVIDING INFORMED COVERAGE AND ANALYSIS OF THE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUES (Brett gets a little rude here, but if there’s anyone who merits treatment like that, it’s Owens)...
..and tied to the theme of our ruling regime trying to keep this country as stoo-pid as possible, Belle gives us more on Pumpkin Pol Pot and his same party pals shutting down the CPB and what it means for NPR and PBS (but let’s not forget the funding was zeroed out by congressional Repugs...and oh yeah, I think Bri-Fi had another performative No vote on that one)...and as you might expect, communities that are pretty MAGA are going to get hit hardest first (what a shock, I know – people vote for the “leopards eating faces” party and THEIR faces get eaten instead)...
...and when it comes to musical talent, the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree for this guy, you might say.
