“Once more unto the breach, dear friends”...I’ve put this off for as long as I could, still basking in the glow of our blue state getaway, but I guess this is as good a time as any to try and rev this thing up again.
To begin, David Doel tells us about CNN apparently getting a little butt-hurt about Bernie Sanders calling out our corporate media overall for utterly falling down on the job when it comes to reporting on the Build Back Better bill (I was hoping that this would be passed somehow while I was gone, but no such luck)...
...and of course, one of the biggest reasons for this is the gamesmanship of “Curtsy Kyrsten”...Chris Hayes quite rightly shines the spotlight on her along with Ryan Grim of The Intercept (What is she doing? For whatever my opinion is worth – not a lot I know – I think there’s more going on than just the corruption, though there’s plenty of that of course...I just think Sinema is nuts...and I REALLY hope that, at a certain point, the Dems focus more on what they need to do to help their party in key congressional races, particularly the U.S. Senate, and figure out what kind of messaging they can come up with to get their base to turn out, which should happen anyway I know...and yes, the BBB bill would go a long way to help with that, but if they can’t get the whole damn thing, is there a way to get particular pieces to help people like, say, Maggie Hassan or Catherine Cortez Masto, for example, both of whom have contests next year? Or maybe shorten the bill from ten years to five? And yes, I know those aren’t good options, but it looks like a fraction of a loaf is all we’re going to get, if anything...and yeah, this figures too...and I think this is a spot-on comment from Cenk)...
...and sticking with TYT and nut cases from the “party of Lincoln,” Ana and Cenk tell us about wingnuts screeching over the recent mass killing in Norway (and I’m sure Boebert and her twisted ilk will bloviate now about “bow and arrow” control, or some such nonsense)...
...and David Pakman tells us about some utterly bonkers remarks at a Trump rally in Iowa (want to know how soulless cretins like Boebert, MTG and Madison Cawthorn managed to get elected? Just watch the certifiable loons in this clip) – God, the grift never ends with Former Generalissimo Trump, and yeah, our news organizations with initials for names should look at these life forms supporting Our Treasonous Orange Pustule to really get a clue as to what’s going on, as opposed to these “Trump voter in Trump country” stories where reporters visit just about every diner in the south and the Midwest...
...and I thought this was a particularly well done commentary from Rachel Maddow on Gen. Colin Powell, who died at 84 (here)...
...and RIP Paddy Moloney of The Chieftains.
