Welcome to Doomsy’s News/Politics Catchup Post, Black Friday edition...Kyle Kulinski brings us the story of “Anarcho-Capitalist Extremist” (and aspiring James Bond villian from the looks of him) Javier Milei, who was just elected president of Argentina...yeah, it’s nuts all right, but it’s kind of a “break the glass” moment when inflation in that country is at about 138 percent...interesting point contrasting hard-core Trumpers in this country who are primarily older vs. Milei supporters who are primarily younger (NSFW/H)...and in other global news, this is a pretty wacky development also...
...and in the matter of giving aid and comfort to ultra-nationalist crazies in this country as opposed to overseas, Mike Figueredo tells us that King Elon I is losing advertisers on Twitter/X/whatever it’s called because – oh, I don’t know – HE’S ENDORSING ANTI-SEMITIC TROPES AND OTHER BS??!! (NSFW/H)...
...and when it comes to contrasting our economy with that of our South American neighbor noted in the first clip, Beau gives us his take on how he thinks people in this country feel about our own money matters, just in time for holiday shopping (good trend for Biden, but we’re a long way to next November of course)...
...despite that, we can still count on Fix Noise propagandists to try and gin up hysteria over “Biden-flation” or whatever they’re calling it these days, including that knucklehead Jason Chaffetz (here - John and Jayar discuss)...
...and Jesse Dollemore informs us that Maria Bartiromo was recently spreading more unhinged conspiracy theories (still flogging that Chinese lab leak business as the source of COVID-19...I’m going to go out on a very short limb here and predict that there will NEVER be a consensus formed around that as the cause of the pandemic..oh, and she also accused the FBI of pretending to be Trumpers helping to stage the 1/6 insurrection...what a wackadoodle this woman is)...
...and Mike Papantonio and Farron Cousins discuss how a right wing “think tank” has pushed to get rid of child labor protections in Flori-DUUH!, affiliated with this Dick Uihlein character...and yeah, I know about “Soros” this and “Soros” that, but to imply an equivalency between him and the ideological wingnuts on the other side, both in terms of $$ in politics and influence on legislation, is utterly ridiculous (I think Pap needs to get a freaking grip, basically)...
...and like some other items here, I know this is a couple of days old, but I was still sorry to hear about it...I know they’re Philly/Temple guys, but I’ve been basically hot and cold on Hall and Oates...I hope they get everything worked out (tune is about the energy crisis from that era, if you can believe it...the tune, that is)...
...and dear God, it really is that time of year again, isn't it?
