In this video, Ari Melber debunks the Trumpian claim that “nothing matters” – it took awhile for me to track this down, but I’m damn glad I did…terrific stuff and oh so true…
…and yeah, Trumpian DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen really is that horrible of a monster; I wasn’t aware that a third child had died, tragically, (and speaking of monsters…NSFW)…
…and even when The Gropenfuhrer actually does something right, which is so infrequently I know, he actually ends up putting his foot in it big time (and speaking once more of Generalissimo Trump putting his foot in it)…
...and the title of this tune must be the motto for the Trumpian gang.
Cenk and Ana tell us that Mr.-Puppy-Dog-Eyes-With-The-Shiv, on his way out the door, is trying to make it easier for Irish immigration into this country, which I would be fine with if we would also take care of the DREAMers, who of course are utterly repellent to the “party of Lincoln” (of course, if we were talking about a century earlier, the Irish would be demagogued just like non-white people are now, as evidenced by the sign in the pic, kind of destroying the irony meter as far as I’m concerned…looks like the deal was killed, however)…
…and Farron Cousins reminds us about the cost of the latest government shutdown by the Repugs – yep, this is what happens when voters in the country actually DON’T elect adults to govern…
…and kudos to Kansas State Sen. Dinah Sykes for switching to the Democratic Party; I’m sure the guy interviewed for the story is right about it not being a “sea change,” but it’s definitely a step in the right direction…
…and likewise, good job by Chris Hayes and the “All In” panel here to remind us all about the “red state teacher revolt” – and yes, it resulted in positive change…
…and speaking of positive change, Robert Reich tells us here about the importance of a “green New Deal”…
…and here’s an upbeat little tune that is ACTUALLY NEW for a change; guess the whole roller-skating thing is kind of an ‘80s Venice Beach kind of jawn.
Chris Hayes and the “All In” panel, with Joy Reid and Sam Seder, talk about some of the moments where Generalissimo Trump proved himself to be manifestly unfit for the office (and yes, I know the stock market has been tanking lately, but fortunately it appears to be rallying today)…
…and Hasan Piker tells us about Tucker Carlson and the “War on Christmas,” featuring “gingerbread people” (almost too dumb for words – I guess it’s too much to assume that Carlson’s audience would know that Scotland has its own parliament)…
…of course, if the wingnuts are looking for a REAL controversy, I offer this (a second child dying in our custody at the border)…
…and this tune brings down the metaphorical curtain on the holiday selections – hope everyone has had a nice break from the insanity that surrounds us all.
Yeah, it looks like Mick Mulvaney is absolutely a great pick for Chief of Staff reporting to Generalissimo Trump for all of the reasons Cenk gives us here – and I think the snark is perfectly appropriate…
…and David Pakman tells us that the Trump slush fund Foundation is getting shut down and what that can mean for our ruling cabal of criminals…
…and Ali Velshi tells us about proposed Trump changes to SNAP recipients, with Andre Perry of the Brookings Institution...and speaking of Sonny Perdue, what a major tool this guy is! (here)…
…and Farron Cousins speaks with Scott Hardy of Top Class Actions about holiday gift card scammers (mentioning Walmart, but it probably affects other big box retailers as well as smaller operations…basically, anyplace you can buy a gift card is at risk of this - terrific)…
...and we're winding down with the seasonal selections - here are some more favorites.
