Ali Velshi points out that telling the truth about Cheetoh Hitler isn’t automatically an incitement to violence...I think we all know by now that any news account that Combover Caligula doesn’t like is automatically derided as “fake news,” but as Velshi points out, everyone in this sorry, disgusting cabal is now using that same tactic also pretty much, including Trumpette spokes-liar Karoline Leavitt...I’d actually forgotten about that actual thug Greg Gianforte assaulting the reporter from The Guardian, and of course Gianforte ended up getting elected as governor of Montana...same with the murders of those five reporters in Annapolis, MD...and I definitely have issues with former FBI Director James Comey for the whole Hillary Clinton Email thing a month before the vote in 2016, but the whole “86 47 alleged threat” seashell thing on the beach is utter nonsense...
...and with the Velshi clip in mind, I now give you the latest installment of “This Day In Doomsy History” (more or less) from 5/3/17...this “Resistance” commentary from Keith Olbermann pertains to the words of Reince Priebus, the chief of staff during the first sorry reign of the Gropenfuhrer, and the threat of a Constitutional amendment to basically try and overturn the First Amendment in order to toughen our libel laws, all in the service of Dear Leader Mango Mussolini...as Olbermann puts it so directly, any such attempt to mess with our First Amendment freedoms would first and foremost be aimed at you and me, and in all likelihood, this humble blog would cease to exist (it’s been pretty well documented about all the ways our “fourth estate” is trying to curry favor with our disgusting ruling collection of bottom feeders)...revisiting Olbermann’s outrage is refreshing I have to admit; I don’t subscribe to his podcast, though I probably should to get more of this sort of thing I suppose...
...and Sam Seder, Emma Vigeland and the crew from The Majority Report bring us the tale of Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent lying and blaming Biden/Elizabeth Warren/Pete Buttigieg for not allowing Jet Blue to merge with Spirit Airlines and using that as the excuse for Spirit going under (that merger was apparently disallowed by a Reagan-appointed judge as Sam says, and the increase in the price of jet fuel hammered Spirit also since they apparently had no operating margins to get back to profitability)...and leave it to that shrieking harpie Maria Bartiromo to just go “uh huuum” because, as Sam says, she knows what Bessent is saying is BS...sounds like both airlines were carrying so much goddamn debt that it didn’t matter who merged with who; at least one of them would have gone under...airline story ends at about 5:12 and then they look at farm bankruptcies; maybe I’m being unkind, but I pretty much have no sympathy for our farmers because, as a bloc, they voted for Bronzer Beelzebub because I guess they bought into the utter fiction that the Repugs are better for the economy...that bar graph at about 5:47 tells the pretty damning story (and as they note in the clip, the increased farm bankruptcies benefit “Big Ag” for sure)...also, we get that clip of Don The Con making those remarks about affordability at “The Villages” in Flori-DUUH (in front of the ”pay no price, bear no burden” one percent wannabes), which, indeed, should be played on a loop in an ad for every Dem candidate in existence...Emma also mentions the stupendous idiocy of Todd Blanche saying you need voter ID for a restaurant (I mean, unless Blanche’s idea of a “restaurant” is a place where ladies perform while you stack dollar bills on the bar – heh)....NSFW/H for the Gropenfuhrer’s potty mouth...
...and speaking of planes, Belle of the Ranch discusses Canada and Sweden making out when it comes to defense spending by the EU...interesting history IMO on AWACS radar planes supplied to NATO and how they’ve been built by Boeing since forever (the E7 Wedgetail), but because of the antics of Our Demented Orange Toddler of a *preznit cutting spending about a year ago, it looks like the Swedish “Global Eye” powered by SAAB is going to end up as the plane of choice for NATO on this instead (Swedish tech in a Canadian plane, basically, with the US losing out on about $600 million per unit, potentially $6 billion overall – are you tired of the winning yet?)...
...and Mr. Newberger gives Repug mouthpiece Scott Jennings the treatment he deserves here (based on this)...
...and I don’t know if she’s coming to this area in the fall (in Europe this summer), but I’ll definitely be on the lookout for tickets – I’ll get in a plug here if I learn more about that.
