Monday Stuff


Katy Tur speaks with former Dem U.S. Senator (and farmer) Jon Tester about the havoc wrought by Combover Caligula’s tariffs and how that has affected the ability of farmers to control their own costs for equipment and capital generally along with trying to sell their goods in markets that are closing because their products are too expensive for buyers mainly in the Pacific Rim, as Tester explains...as we know, Cheetoh Hitler is apparently the only human being on earth who doesn’t believe that a tariff is a tax on the American consumer/producer (a related item is here)...



...and Chris Hayes discusses the story of Pumpkin Pol Pot attacking a Venezuelan speedboat and killing 11 people, and in international waters no less...oh, but we said they are all Tren De Aragua, so it’s ok, as if these people would tell us the truth if they even knew what it was...and how Trumpian to try and come up with a legal authority for this AFTER they’d already carried this out (speaking with Spencer Ackerman)...and leave it to “little Marco” to act like a puppet for Our Treasonous Orange Pustule on this (and I’m also sure there will be more of this - love to be wrong)...good for Ackerman to draw a line from this to Dubya’s Global War On TERRA! TERRA! TERRA!...I would complain about another weird cut at the end of an MSNBC video if complaining about it would do any good...



...and Belle of the Ranch discusses Bronzer Beelzebub trying to push out Lisa Cook of the Fed over “mortgage fraud”...they should just get a clip of “Couch Boy” recently trashing Cook in an interview as evidence that Vance prejudiced any possible trial with his remarks...the open letter from Nobel laureate economists pointing out Mango Mussolini’s typical stoo-pidity should help Cook also, especially since they already knew her mortgage history when she was first confirmed...by the way, the “Chesterton Fence” comment pertains to something that may appear nonsensical at first, though there is hidden wisdom as we discover, in this case I believe Belle is talking about the Fed’s independence from partisan politics (and yeah, these idiots in charge need to pay particular attention to the bond market)...



...and Farron Cousins tells us that it looks like Newsmax is suing Fix Noise because the former says the latter is making sure it isn’t carried on certain TV markets...filthy, unkempt liberal blogger that I am, I have to admit that I’m not close enough to the real or imagined numbers here to know if Newsmax actually has a case (I suspect they don’t), though I will say that a big part of Fix Noise’s business model is its deals with the cable telco providers...even though it’s laudable IMO to boycott advertisers on The Roger Ailes BS Factory, that’s not really hitting that trash network where they live, and if Newsmax actually has a case here, they could do damage...boy, is Cousins ever right about so-called “regular TV” and what you can do to generate your own buzz; would that those clueless losers running the @DNC knew that (though I’ll admit that the jury is still out on Ken Martin IMO)...if nothing else, this should be an enjoyable “food fight” between the two biggest TV propaganda networks in this country (pass the popcorn)...



...and Stephen Colbert on the Late Show gives us his take on “Bobby Brainworms” and that ridiculous hearing he was involved in recently (nice try by Dem Ron Wyden of Oregon to try and get the Kennedy scion sworn in)...oh, and CVS and Walgreen’s apparently aren’t going to offer COVID vaccines thanks to our maniac in charge of HHS (love the “Star Wars” sendup btw)...and John Barrasso is another one of these characters who checked out long ago when it came to ensuring the health and safety of his constituents as far as I’m concerned...oh, and Jr. can see “mitochondrial” infection in an airport without a microscope? That’s almost as absurd as “Dr.” Ladapo in Flori-DUUUH! asking “Who am I?” when it comes to recommending what people can do to stay healthy...and oh yeah, it looks like “Don Quixote” Trump is tilting at windmills again, you might say (does that make “Couch Boy” Sancho Panza I wonder?)...



...and I now give you one of the all-time, dewy-eyed, pointy-headed lib tunes in existence, but I think it fits when considering the Arkansas farmers in the Daily Kos post that I linked to above.
