Admiral James Stavridis comments on the targeted U.S. killing of Iranian General Qassem Suleimani on “Morning Joe” – absolutely infuriating to see more Repug neocons carry out this shit, then let the carnage unfold at the expense of other people’s kids, and then watch those who perpetrate this insanity skate away and be rewarded with cushy book deals and non-stop appearances in “smart” conservative circles of media and academia – the “pay no price, bear no burden” crowd strikes again…
Update: Yep, when all else fails, we can always count on President Shithead to double down (here).
Update 1 1/4/20: This definitely nails it as far as I'm concerned; and why am I not surprised by this?
Update 2 1/4/20: Vox populi indeed (here)
Update 3 1/4/20: I guess it's all about baby steps for the host of the White Power Hour on Fix Noise, but grudging credit where it's due here.
Meanwhile, from the world of reality, I offer this...
…and I had the following clip very much in mind after the Iran story unfolded, presenting a case study in how presidents are supposed to act when faced with the most dire possible consequences (kind of cringed a bit in response to Tweety’s remark at the end about leadership in touch with the people – I think we had that when he spoke those words in 2012, but I definitely don’t think we have that now)…When car bombs start exploding at outdoor cafes and landmarks, what's Trump's move then? When an American military base is decimated by missiles, what then? If you're applauding Soleimani's death but you're not thinking about next steps in the escalation, you're as dumb as Trump.

…and yeah, the MoDo pic above is meant to incriminate one of our worst pundit offenders, but she has plenty of company, and Thom Hartmann asks a more basic media-related question here (of course, if our citizenry as a whole weren’t so jaded/uninformed/distracted/whatever, they’d be screaming over getting lied to as much as Chuck Todd should be)…
…and when it comes to those looking to replace Mango Mussolini, I have to admit that I was a little behind on some of the stuff involving Joe Biden, but yeah, I think we can expect a nonstop onslaught of clipped quotes and badly edited videos to try and incriminate the Dem nominee, whoever that person may be (I think Farron Cousins is a little more PO’ed than usual because he knows he got played too – can happen to anybody)…
…and this “Now This” clip tells us about the Kansas cop who claimed that a McDonald’s employee wrote “f*cking pig” on his coffee cup – I thought the official statement from the police department on this was BS…this pabulum of “oh, our community has to heal and this reflects badly on all of us, blah blah”…if this had happened FOR REAL, the cops would be picketing this McDonald’s night and day…not saying it would be right for a McD’s worker to pull a stunt like that, but just saying there’s a double standard, that’s all…
Update: Hey, for anyone who doesn't like this attempt at humor - well, all I can say is that the cops should stop giving us (ahem...) ammunition.
...and here's another great, relatively new tune to help kick-start our first post-holiday weekend of the new year.
