Brian Williams speaks with Philip Rucker of the WaPo about the fact that Our Orange Pustule-In-Chief is apparently acknowledging reality at long last based on the election three weeks ago (how utterly pathetic that, in spite of the fact that he lost by about the same margin as Hillary Clinton in 2016, there are people in politics and our media who think we need to somehow negotiate with this WATB on the transfer of power)...
...though of course, being the craven, spiteful asshole that he is, leave it to 45 to pull the U.S. out of the Open Skies pact and, for good measure, dismantling the specialized planes needed for our participation, as Rachel Maddow (back in the studio) tells us...typical (and a totally appropriate dig comparing the postal sorting machine fiasco also)...
...and this clip from the WaPo tells us that, in response to the economic ruin from the pandemic (made worse in no small part by the failure of the Gropenfuhrer and his pals particularly in the Senate to do a damn thing about it), who else but AOC took “the world’s greatest deliberative body” to task (more here)...
...and speaking of economic hardship, Thom Hartmann tells us about corporations paying poverty wages to workers while still cashing in on corporate “socialism” (and as usual, Bernie Sanders is the one cutting through all of this crap...Thom also talks about Kelly Loeffler running against Raphael Warnock...to help Warnock and Jon Ossoff, running against David Perdue – who may actually be worse than Loeffler, believe it or not – click here)...
...and Ana and Aida Rodriguez tell us that that human mistake named Kyle Rittenhouse posted bail even though it was set at $2 million (more here) – yeah, I know what John Edwards turned out to be, but he was the last person I heard talk about “two Americas” and he was ridiculed...after this story and a few others, I don’t know how anyone can argue he’s wrong (GREAT point by Rodriguez about not reporting on the families of the victims...and speaking of “human mistakes,” I give you this...with all due respect to Ana, we know what Rittenhouse is, but she needs to be a little more careful in using words like "brought up on charges of," "alleged shooter," etc. - I'm sure she also doesn't want to say or do anything to prejudice the trial of this gutter snipe, and neither do I, since we both want to see him punished to the fullest extent of the law)...
...and I hope you’re all keeping to yourselves this holiday and not dining in groups like the folks are in this video – we can look forward to that next year if we all manage to get through this OK.
