It looks like this is another occasion where I’m not supposed to speak ill of someone celebrated by our political/media/industrial complex, and that would be “Holy Joe” Lieberman, who has just departed...this clip from Emma V., Matt Binder and Brandon Sutton of The Majority Report (from ’21 I believe) features Mehdi Hasan grilling the former Connecticut U.S. Senator on Iraq War 2...and great points by all, but with respect to Emma, the AUMF has to be repealed by Congress, and yeah, good luck with that...I think they go off the rails a bit here when talking about China, though talking about the “shadow wars” is spot-on IMO since setting them off is the legacy of Lieberman and his foul ilk, including Dubya and his pals of course, as well as “centrist” Dems...
Update: And when it comes to Dubya's Not-So-Excellent Adventure in Iraq (cheered on by Lieberman), let's not forget 9.2 million people displaced as noted here.
Update 3/30/24: Great post by Jeff Singer on "Holy Joe" here.
...and Farron Cousins informs us that Tangerine Palpatine was hit with a gag order for attacking the judge, and the judge’s daughter, overseeing one of #45’s trials (here)...as Cousins states, this is a criminal action, so Combover Caligula could actually end up in the slam at last, though I’m not holding my breath; I’m honestly wondering if we will EVER see that day...
...and speaking of stuff related to the Mar-a-Lago defendant, Jon Stewart gives us some context on #45’s “victimless” crimes...
...and Beau provides a commentary on the Francis Scott Key bridge collapse; this is an ongoing story and so Beau’s comments are a little dated (not his fault), though he’s absolutely right about building out our infrastructure at other ports to increase our capacity and alleviate potential supply chain headaches again, and they will be forthcoming as a result of this unfortunately (though the human cost is paramount of course and everything else is secondary)...
...and I know I had a video previously about this Trumpist loon in North Carolina named Mark Robinson who is the Repug nominee for governor...well, apparently there is ANOTHER wackadoodle in that state (must be something in the water) named Michele Morrow who is running for superintendent of schools, and she’s big mad for getting called out on her wingnuttery by the li-bu-ruuul media...sick, twisted b*tch (sorry, but at a certain point, I run out of patience with these characters...and boy, is John ever right about the life forms supporting Morrow and her ilk wanting government to be nothing but a clown show...also with Francesca F.)...
...and believe it or not, today is the 45th anniversary of the Three Mile Island disaster in our beloved commonwealth of PA, which freaked out a whole bunch of people as you might expect...here is a tune which is probably the theme song of the “No Nukes” movement that sprung from that calamity...bad as it was, it could have been a whole lot worse – we dodged a bit of a bullet to be sure.
