Friday Stuff



David Pakman lets us know that Jessica Tarlov once again brought the reality perspective on the economy to her Fix Noise cohorts...as Pakman says, we need about 100K jobs a month to break even, and that isn’t even close to happening (number is closer to 17K a month), with 700K people in this country out of work, including a youth unemployment rate of 10 percent...I thought this was a pretty solid analysis by Pakman of what’s going on, and not necessarily just because it’s all bad news for the Tangerine Toddler...



...and sticking with money matters and The Roger Ailes BS Factory, I give you Stuart (“The Weakness Is Attractive”) Varney on Fix Noise Business (regarding job creation and consumer sentiment on our wretched economy)...yet another reason to pretty much ignore the stock market if you’re trying to find out what’s really going on with the financial well-being of this country overall...



...and when it comes to financial obligations, Robert Reich explains here that the one percent in particular have a vested interest in keeping our debt high because they make money off interest payments against the debt, as opposed to, y’know, JUST PAYING THEIR DAMN TAXES LIKE THEY’RE SUPPOSED TO...



...and Jesse Dollemore talks about judicial nominees from Our Treasonous Orange Pustule refusing to say that the Capitol was attacked on 1/6/21...and no, they’re not being asked about pending litigation, as Sen. Richard Blumenthal notes, and they’re not even being asked to characterize what happened as an insurrection, which it plainly was...no, these judicial sycophants and lackeys are being asked to acknowledge fundamental reality as to what happened...I wouldn’t trust anyone from this regime of liars and frauds anyway, and especially this bunch (considered for lifetime judicial appointments, as Jesse notes)...Jesse is spot-on to say that NO DEMOCRAT should support ANYONE nominated from our ruling cabal FOR ANY GODDAMN REASON!...as Jesse notes, the Capitol switchboard number (for calling your senator and telling them to vote NO on these three clowns) is 202-224-3121...



...and turning to foreign affairs, Farron Cousins gives us the real reason the Gropenfuhrer wants to invade Venezuela...mainly, because that country is sitting on about $2 trillion in minerals (Our Treasonous Orange Yam is carrying on about Greenland for the same reason...more on that shortly)...and oh yeah, let’s not forget the oil also (sorry to inflict this so soon after the holiday, but it makes total sense unfortunately...link here)...



...and this DW report lets us know that Denmark recently summoned the U.S. ambassador and told this Trumper to respect Greenland’s sovereignty, in light of #47’s appointment of Louisiana guv Jeff Landry’s as a “special envoy” to Greenland for some reason (not hard to guess that it’s all about making off with the minerals, amirite?) – curious to find out if Landry has any actual qualification for such a post, though I suspect he’s in the role because he’s a sycophant for Combover Caligula and that’s about it...and the U.S. is listed as a national security threat by Denmark for the first time (are you tired of all the winning yet?)...



...and RIP Jerry Kasenetz, who co-wrote a bunch of "bubblegum" tunes in the '60s with Jeff Katz; this was their hit from that era...



...and with this tune, I ring down the curtain on the seasonal selections for another year – hope your holiday celebrations are all you ask for.
