Wednesday Stuff

I give you Rachel Maddow’s “A” block last night about the foreign policy gaffes of the “Gropenfuhrer” (as well as those of “Spicey,” Mattis and McMaster all apparently not knowing where our carrier was that was supposedly bound for Korea)…



…and Maddow is back to talk with presidential historian Michael Beschloss about the Korean carrier group screwup (leading with JFK on the Cuban Missile Crisis – to think that Generalissimo Trump is now sitting in that office just about turns my stomach)…



(And by the way, would it have been nice for Jon Ossoff to clear the ridiculous 50-percent hurdle in the GA-06 special election and avoid the runoff with Repug Karen Handel, an avowed opponent of Planned Parenthood? Yes, but let’s look at it another way – Ossoff secured more votes in coming in first than all of his Republican challengers.

Yes, this means more appeals for money, and yes, this means more ridiculous attack ads from a political party with no desire or impulse of any kind whatsoever for forward-thinking leadership. But, though it’s about three-quarters of the proverbial loaf instead of the whole thing, it’s still progress, and we must not forget that.)

…and Joy-Ann Reid talks with David Sanger, on the Obama Administration’s evolving strategy against North Korea’s nukes (investing in cyber and other electronic attacks – you know, the way adult presidential leaders are supposed to handle stuff like this)…



…and I think Kyle K. is a little hard on Think Progress here, but he’s absolutely right about President Big Orange Cheetoh’s meely-mouthed “Buy American” posturing (NSFW)…



…and I give you another installment of “This Day In Doomsy History” from 4/18/12, with Fix Noise proclaiming a "war" on everything, though not women of course, something to keep in mind given Billo's recent travails...

…which ultimately led to the loss of his job today – couldn’t happen to a more deserving scumbag (here is a catchy little tune once more for the occasion – NSFW also).
