Friday Stuff
Cenk and Ana of TYT discuss Generalissimo Trump and revoking the security clearance of former CIA director John Brennan - all of the people who've had their clearance removed by Trump, including Brennan, have worked with Comey and/or have some relationship to the Russia investigation (and that goes for more people who could also have their clearances taken away, which Trump is making noise about of course)…if these people don’t have their clearances, then they can’t prepare for testimony, including before Congress and/or Mueller…fortunately, people like Dem U.S. Senator Mark Warner are wise to this; of course, trying to stop it is another story (Rachel Maddow had a good video on that last night, but if you want to try and find it at MSNBC’s site, be my guest…this was the story Cenk teased a bit at the end, by the way…kudos to Adm. McRaven)…
…and a lot of this is echoed by Ari Melber, author and former CIA analyst David Priess and Tim O’Brien of Bloomberg News (and yeah, we know what Sarah Hillbilly Sanders and Mr.-Puppy-Dog-Eyes-With-The-Shiv truly are, but since we’re talking about our thoroughly compromised corporate courtier media here, Heaven forbid that they don’t get their faces on TV)…
…and staying with national security and international stuff, Kyle K. tells us how pulling out of the Iran nuke deal has been disastrous (NSFW at the very end)…
…and happy 75th birthday to legendary Academy Award-winning actor Robert De Niro (and, as we know, DACA turned out to be yet another Trump lie – “Part The Infinity” as Charlie Pierce might say…I would say that, given what has passed since these questions were first asked not quite a year ago, Poppy Harlow looks like an idiot)…
…and here are two more musical selections to pay tribute to Aretha Franklin (more here).
