Robert Reich presents some recommendations for our corporate courtier media when covering Generalissimo Trump (yeah, good luck with that, I know, but kudos to Reich for speaking out on this and other matters of course)…
…and speaking of the “fourth estate,” Kyle responds to Jake Tapper on Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and “Medicare For All” (NSFW – I think Kyle goes off the rails a bit especially at the end…I have no problem with showing some respect to John McCain which I alluded to in previous posts…but Kyle is absolutely right about Tapper’s ridiculous framing of the discussion about health care spending, along with NOBODY pointing out how STOO-PID it is for us to keep spending on defense as we do while our infrastructure continues to crumble)…
…and Farron Cousins sez that Rudy! was on the receiving end of a screaming match from the Gropenfuhrer about Uday Jr. and his involvement in all of the Trumpian criminality since America’s Mayor didn’t take the AG job instead of “immunity gnome” Jeff Sessions, with Trump thinking that Jr. would have “skated” with Rudy instead – everybody got that? (GREAT point at the end by Cousins that, if our Tiny Handed, Orange Lunatic had just decided not to run for president, he would have been a whole lot better off)…
…and Cenk and Ana of TYT tell us that the current resident of An Oval Office is apparently warming to the idea of putting Erik Prince in charge of the Afghan War, which, let’s not forget, is still going on (and I’m not going to say what my reaction would be to a Dem saying the garbage Prince said - US military was “a litany of death and failure,” huh? Not really a privatization, but a rationalization, huh? – because I honestly think no Dem would have said anything that horrific)…sure, watch the Repugs privatize the profit and socialize the risk as usual…what could go wrong?)…
…and Hasan Piker does his best to debunk more wingnut horror stories of alleged white genocide (and, if it has anything whatsoever to do with perceived white oppression, you can be sure that Tucker Carlson is ALL OVER IT, PEOPLE!)…
…and yes, I know this story comes from The Putin Network and he’s only too happy to win propaganda points against us, but again, the reporting looks pretty solid (on the subject of the US prison inmate strike)…
…and I couldn’t let the week come to an end politically without including this clip from Dem Texas U.S. Senate candidate Beto O’Rourke answering a question about the NFL protests – yep, he hit a walk off grand slam, as it were, as far as I’m concerned (for God’s sake, Texas, PLEEEEEAAAASSSEEE vote him in and send Ted Cruz packing!)…
…and tomorrow marks what would have been the 100th birthday of legendary American pianist and composer Leonard Bernstein – I think this is an appropriate tribute from “West Side Story,” which he was integrally involved with along with Stephen Sondheim, Jerome Robbins and director Robert Wise (proof once more that art transcends boundaries including language).
