John of The Damage Report tells us of Wonder Boy Jared Kushner’s (and Paramount’s) attempted hostile takeover of Warner Bros., with Don The Con pretending not to know anything (well, maybe he isn’t pretending)...John makes the GREAT point that the media double standard here is beyond ridiculous when compared with the Bidens (in terms of no follow up questions)...John is also incredibly right about the fact that all of this (even the Netflix offer) needs more goddamn oversight, but good luck with that when the ”party of Lincoln” is in charge, and he’s also on the money about needing some kind of a “truth and reconciliation” committee when these villainous cretins are no longer in charge (meaning the regime of Pumpkin Pol Pot)...
...also, Erielle Reshef on MS NOW informs us that the Gropenfuhrer's TSA wants to look at the social media history going back about 5 years for anyone arriving in this country (w/ Susan Page, Washington bureau chief for USA Today, and with former Hakeem Jeffries aide Michael Hardaway also)...I apologize for including a clip of that demented orange meat sack rating about Dem U.S. House Rep Ilhan Omar, but once more, I think attention must be paid on occasion to this madness...good point that the rhetoric from Our Demented Orange Toddler is driving people out of political life, which is a net negative as far as yours truly is concerned...and unfortunately, I think Spencer Cox is right (a bit) in that those people who view politics as some kind of a WWE contest need to take a look in the mirror, but I’m not hopeful that that will happen...
...and Thom Hartmann lets us know that the Senate just voted down a Dem bill to extend ACA subsidies for 3 years, along with a bill to provide $1500 to HSAs, the latter of which to me is utterly useless unless you’re already rich...oh, and the HSA increase couldn’t be used for abortions or gender affirming care because of course...I hope Thom is right about the discharge petition in the House that could extend ACA subsidies for three years, but I have no reason to be optimistic with these cretins in charge, sadly...
...and this is where I try to add a clip that is somewhat humorous, but I absolutely can’t do that today given the awful news of the horrific deaths of Rob Reiner and his wife...I’m not sure it’s possible to properly do justice to Reiner’s impact mainly as a film director, producer, and political activist – this clip barely scratches the surface on that, but I realize it was filmed when the news first broke...I’m sure more detailed commemorations will follow in the days and weeks ahead (and sympathies to family and friends of course)...
...and here are more seasonal numbers.
