Friday Stuff


Cenk and Ana tell us about how the “prosperity gospel” charlatans are giving cover for Mango Mussolini, notably Paula White, and of course since we’re talking about religious frauds, we have to include Ralph Reed as well (yep, it’s all about HATING TEH GAY and ABORTION ABORTION ABORTION ABORTION ABORTION ABORTION ABORTION ABORTION ABORTION ABORTION and, in case you somehow didn’t already get the message, ABORTION)…



…and Seth Meyers gives us the latest on the latest drip, drip, drip stuff over the Gropenfuhrer and his henchmen (including Rudy of course) and Ukraine…



…and I know a lot of this is familiar territory in this clip from Brian Tyler Cohen, but to me, the takeaway is that the regime of Generalissimo Trump feels so confident about its utterly wretched corruption that some lackey representing it can spout off on Lou Dobbs and feel that he’s somehow still above reproach…



…and I have to admit that I didn’t know anything about Rojava in Syria, but Debbie Bookchin and Amy Goodman fill us in here, along with Ertugrul Kurkcu and Elif Sarican (and of course, Turkey is trying to crush this movement also - important I think to note these progressive women and their causes, as well as, tragically, the rise of right-wing responses around the globe to beat down these and other movements to empower people…some of this rambles a bit I know, but as important as this story is, I think these viewpoints are important and need to be heard)…



…and Thom Hartmann tells us about a WaPo report on what may very well have gone on with Our Treasonous, Tiny-Handed Orange Nightmare and Erdogan of Turkey that led to the current crisis (part of me wishes that Ben Bradlee were still alive to see how much his former paper is doing laps on “the old gray lady” when it comes to the antics of President* Fergus Laing…the “newspaper of record” has fallen on its metaphorical face in comparison, including here…and yes, there very definitely is “a process that got us here,” as Thom says at the end)…



…and I’m probably overdue for a “relationship” song, so I hope this qualifies.
