Monday Stuff


Gee, did I miss anything?...yep – apparently the leader of Cult 45 was (allegedly) hanging onto secret nuclear documents possibly revealing launch codes and/or other highly classified stuff (and possibly destroying them too?)...eventually this sorry POS will find himself habited at a federal detention facility...Ana and Cenk begin our “team coverage,” you might say (more here and here)...



...and John and Brett Erlich of The Damage Report have more, including the thing with Wonder Boy Jared Kushner getting $2 billion from our dear friends the Saudis in exchange for...what exactly? (and gee, haven’t Jared and Ivanka been pretty damn quiet for a few days now since this broke)...



...and Brian Tyler Cohen tells us that the right-wing outrage machine is working overtime to spin this story like crazy (and leave it to Ari Ari Bobari to resurrect another ridiculous Republican zombie lie, this one about Sandy Berger allegedly stealing documents from the national archives...more here)...



...and of course, it wouldn’t truly be a story about Our Treasonous Orange Pestilence unless there was some kind of a grift involved, with our former *president trying to fundraise off of all of this...Lawrence O’Donnell gives us his take here (this segment aired before we found out that he was, in all likelihood, trying to peddle nuclear docs – and yeah, I thought this was a particularly brainless piece of pundit piffle on this whole mess, and I mean David Brooks, not Laurence Tribe)...



...and when it comes to some kind of a public response to this - well, I guess you can consider the source below (and with bad spelling as ususal as noted here, though this was far more serious of course tragically)...


...and speaking of The Roger Ailes BS Factory, it looks like Tulsi Gabbard may have finally realized her dream of grabbing her own show, with The Swanson TV Dinner Heir setting her up with a guest spot – David Doel gives us the details (I forgot about Gabbard voting “Present” on Trump’s impeachment...the first one I mean...mildly NSFW/H)...



...and RIP longtime session musician Bill Pitman of The Wrecking Crew...his expertise is featured on this tune as well as many, many others.
