Thursday Stuff
Kyle Kulinski brings us a segment of Ayman Mohyeldin of MS NOW calling out Repug MAGA U.S. House Rep Anna Paulina Luna-tic over “Operation Epstein Fury” (works for me) and her accusation that Iran’s state-sponsored terrorism has killed “thousands and thousands” of Americans, all without proof of course...and I don’t want to hear one goddamn word about the Beirut Bombing which happened under The Sainted Ronnie R OVER FORTY YEARS AGO!!! (and by the way, Reagan responded to that by invading Grenada...WHAAAA????)...also, for background purposes, it should be noted that Iran’s population is primarily Shia Muslim (as opposed to the more nutty Sunnis as Kyle says)...and I’m glad Kyle mentions that Obama unfroze Iranian assets to get the anti-nuke deal with that country THAT DEMENTIA DONNIE WALKED AWAY FROM!!! (NSFW/H)...
...and Sam and Emma and the Majority Report crew tells us that, apparently, Kaitlan Collins of CNN showed up another warmongering Repug a-hole on our war of choice in Iran, and that would be Tim Sheehy, the Repug Senator from Montana (and oh yeah, idiot voters in that state elected this guy in ’24 and got rid of Dem Jon Tester)...and ZOMG! Elizabeth Warren’s former campaign manager chanted “Death to America”?? The person Sheehy is referencing is Calla Walsh, who hasn’t been involved in electoral politics for four years...and Sam is right about how the Repugs didn’t even bother to do their propaganda right on this one, as opposed to Dubya’s Not-So-Excellent Adventure in Iraq...”the reason you’re hearing varied reasons (for the war) is because of the varied threats this regime presents” is right up there with the STOO-PIDEST explanation for this mess that I’ve ever heard...oh, but Sheehy said in June of last year that “regime change can only come from the people of Iran,” which, shockingly enough, was correct then and remains so (and Sheehy definitely didn’t cover himself in glory here either...NSFW/H also)...
...and I know it doesn’t need to be pointed out to anyone with a brain what a delusional narcissist #47 is, but in the statement in this clip, the first thing he mentions is the compliments he believes he’s received over bombing Iran, but he doesn’t have much to say about what this will do to gas prices through Iran likely closing the Strait of Hormuz, or the inconvenience of paying more at the pump (which probably will be small potatoes when it comes to negative effects of this, if you want to know the truth)...and as David Pakman says, the negative ripple effect of rising gas prices is indeed substantial (food, clothing, utilities, and on and on)...and by the way, let’s have no damn illusions of what will fill the leadership vacuum in Iran, OK? Anybody who thinks that country will magically become an ally now must also believe in candy cotton ponies and sugar plumb fairies...
...oh, and Cheetoh Hitler just fired Kristi (“Dog Killer”) Noem without telling her apparently...and is she really going to be replaced by Markwayne Mullin? If I were wearing a suit jacket, I’d rip it off furiously and toss it across the room in his honor...hard for me to have so much as a speck of sympathy for Noem, but it is truly gutless for Bronzer Beelzebub to not so much as fire her to her face...and by the way, this doesn’t mean Noem will be gone, since this “Shield of the Americas” is in the picture, which sounds like an excuse for more pointless, cruel, deadly and ultimately ridiculous intervention elsewhere in our hemisphere (another NSFW/H clip)...
...and Seth Meyers gives us “A Closer Look” on Repugs calling/not calling the Iran War an actual war...and man, Secretary of War Pete Kegseth is sure layin’ down some beats, yo (please)...and leave it to new DHS secretary Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma to clarify the whole matter of whether or not this is a war (I guess for our ruling Trumpist overlords, Mullin is the best spokesperson they could get, which is another level of awfulness to be honest)...
...and I find myself asking the question posed by this newer tune more and more every day.
