Farron Cousins tells us that some in the Trump Party on Capitol Hill are irate (apparently) about Cheetoh Hitler saddling them with Stephen Miller as the new White House Chief of Staff, though nobody is going on the record of course since they want to protect their jobs for as long as they can...I have to admit that I’m a bit torn on this also; yes, I want to see our country straightened out ASAP, but if Pee Wee German is going to be the instrument of the “R” team’s destruction, then I’m at least partly on board for that also...
...and Kyle Kulinski has more on that interview Ross Douthat of the Bari-Weiss-and-David-Ellison-approved “60 Minutes” conducted with Mango Mussolini, including parts that were apparently edited out to try and make #47 not look like quite so much of a demented lunatic (full disclosure: I didn’t see the interview because I have a life and I refuse to do anything in support of that formerly great program, so I can’t provide expert commentary on it)...Kyle makes a helluva point IMO that Spray Tan Satan sued the former “Tiffany Network” over allegedly editing a “60 Minutes” interview with Kamala Harris to put her in a better light, or something...yeah, I’m REALLY sure that meeting with Putin and Zelenskyy took place on Saturday, and Sunday, and Monday, and Tuesday...and “great disrespect shown to Russia”; gag me with a spoonful of borscht (NSFW/H)...
...and Sam Seder of The Majority Report has more wailing and gnashing of teeth from Jesse Watters of Fix Noise about the elections, though the latter is correct in saying that that trash network is all about “identity politics” for white people, with that nematode Watters as one of “the cleverest of the jackal pack,” to use a phrase from ancient history...I hate to admit that Watters may be correct about the “party of Lincoln” pretty much locking up the white vote overall since 1964, because of the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act as noted...I’m not going to try and decipher Watters’s idiot musings about anything else here; I don’t know what the hell Scott Colom winning in Mississippi has to do with some fantasy Repug winning in Hawaii either...”the country became single?” My brain is already hurting...
...and Thom Hartmann discusses why historians are warning about the next eight weeks for #47 until the new Congress is sworn in (tied to “late stage radicalization”); author Ruth Ben-Ghiat is cited here, along with Dr. Bandy Lee...I give Thom credit for so much, including his ability to cite his experience working with abused kids/spouses and abusive families to draw parallels to the behavior of our ruling regime...looks like Cantaloupe Capone may send his consigliere Todd Blanche after Dem U.S. House Rep Robert Garcia and Senator Elissa Slotkin (typical behavior I know), along with Baby Goebbels trying to perpetuate the “iron fist strategy,” as Thom puts it...also, among its many other duties, this incoming Congress must find a way to push back against NSPM-7...”the strongman’s playbook has no chapter on how to lose,” as Ben-Ghiat so correctly points out...
...and I wanted to try and wrap up the week with this clip of Jon Stewart talking with Rachel Maddow...absolutely love her clear-eyed commentary on where we are after the midterms and what can and should be done in response by the incoming Dem congressional majority...also glad to hear her emphasize the importance of Dem wins on the state level and what that can mean for restoring health insurance coverage for folks and (possibly) Medicaid expansion (and I would call this a positive related development)...
...and here's a newer number as a counterpoint to some of my recent "moldy oldies" (here) :-)
