Brianna Keilar and Kristen Holmes of CNN discuss Maggie Haberman of the New York Times and her revelation that Trump said he wouldn’t leave The White House...and I have to admit that it’s darkly hilarious to hear Wonder Boy Jared Kushner compare himself to a priest (Mags saved these revelations for her book of course, just like every other disgusting lickspittle who knew how crazy Trump was but didn’t say anything until they could make $$ off it – more here)...
...and Farron Cousins discusses a Reuters poll indicating that the majority of the country agrees with Biden that the MAGA morons are a threat to U.S. democracy...and I agree that it doesn’t make a lot of sense to say “Yeah, MAGA is dividing us...but Biden is wrong to point that out.” (huh?)...
...and John and Jordan Uhl of The Damage Report call out Fix Noise for their typical hypocrisy over student debt relief, and a clip is also included about demonizing teachers while there is a nationwide shortage...and yeah, that mashup at the end is indeed sickening; kudos to the person at Media Matters who put it together...I can’t imagine a job where I had to watch that trash network and highlight their very worst excesses without losing what’s left of my sanity...
...and Sam discusses that recent clip on CNN (returning to that network) with Al Franken and wingnut Alice Stewart in the arguing-talking-head format moderated by Jim Acosta, and the subject is the legitimacy of the SCOTUS (Sam says independents are leaning towards Dems based on data at the moment, though you could argue that the data can be interpreted a couple of different ways at least – I’m afraid independents, who for my money are basically idiots, may turn against Dems on inflation, not realizing that inflation IS AFFECTING THE WHOLE GODDAMN WORLD COMING OUT OF COVID...and I’ve read people bitching at Franken for interrupting that mouthpiece for Mike Huckabee, and normally I might agree, but you know what? On this occasion, GOOD! This is what Dems have had to endure since forever, and far worse actually, and Franken is FREAKING RIGHT! It’s nice to see some damn push back for a change...when you lie like this Alice person does here, then you DESERVE to be talked over, and I don’t care if you’re a man or a woman...and as far as the Dobbs leak is concerned, I’m sticking with the story that the leaker was Ginni Thomas, and I dare anyone to prove me wrong)...
...and with all the changes “across the pond” (new PM, death of QE II), it might be a good idea to get a report on the UK from “Jonathan Pie” via the New York Times (somewhat NSFW/H, though a lot was bleeped - when we were there six years ago, you couldn't read anything about Jeremy Corbyn in the newspapers unless he was getting vilified every way possible; I can't possibly see how he could actually be worse than what has transpired since)...
...and sticking with world stuff, yesterday was the 45th anniversary of the death of anti-Apartheid South African activist Steve Biko; here is the tune by Peter Gabriel.
