CBC News: The National lets us know that Bronzer Beelzebub has refused to extend our CUSMA agreement with Canada and Mexico...it looks like CUSMA will continue for a good while yet, but Our Treasonous Orange Overlord wants to abolish it of course (which Daddy Vlad would like to see also I’m sure), though other members of our regime want to modify CUSMA because it would make business happy, as opposed to everyday Americans who this regime most definitely couldn’t give a fig about...commentary by correspondent Peter Armstrong...
...and apologies for being a little late with this clip timed for July 4th, but I wanted to include it anyway...this CBS Sunday Morning segment features historian and author Douglas Brinkley discussing all of the challenges this country has faced in the past as a bit of an inspiration for dealing with our present misery...
...and this MS NOW clip talks about white nationalists marching in D.C. over the recent holiday; the legacy of this country is indeed in full view, more or less...with Eddie Glaude, Jr., along with Michele Norris...clip discusses that Reuters pic of the black girl on the D.C. metro surrounded by the racist clowns who are too afraid to show their faces...good for Glaude to mention both David Duke and “Uber Alles” Buchanan...also including Jonathan Capehart and Eugene Daniels (don’t know the other correspondent)...good point also by Norris to point out that these racist pukes will go back to their lives, take off their cowardly masks and melt back into our workplaces, our communities, etc...and leave it to Couch Boy to hold up his own mirror of sorts which reflects everyone and everything else but the utterly wretched presidential administration of which he is a HUUUUGE part...also good for Glaude to make the association between Vance’s ridiculous words and the “blood and soil” rhetoric of Dementia J. Trump...I honestly wish they wouldn’t show a second of the latter’s ridiculous blatherings, but I suppose attention must be paid sadly (every f*cking word out of his treasonous orange maw reflects grievance and virtually nothing else...good for Norris for not wanting to give it any credence)...
...and this report from Sean Morrow of More Perfect Union discusses the movement by tech elites to replace governments with corporations (bringing the original intent of the Powell Memo to its truly hideous end result)...that would be ”privatized societies run by CEOs”...we know this is the neocon wet dream courtesy of DOGE and Palantir, but sadly, it may be closer to realization than we realize (and I didn’t know the plans for a “New Gaza” were underway...yeah, let’s just glass everything including the people so we can build another Trump Tower)...this madness dates to 2008 with Peter Thiel as the originator because of course...this is the first I’ve heard of the Seasteading Institute run by Patri Friedman (grandson of neoliberal icon Milton), but I HAVE heard of Joe Lonsdale, FWIW...author Gil Duran (who has also been following this stuff) is interviewed also...and oh look, Ghislaine Maxwell has popped up in all of this also...and I have to admit that I have no desire to visit Sandy Springs, Georgia, especially because I’m sure their municipal services that are fully privatized are awful (though credit to them also for un-privatizing)...it seems that these localities run by corps are popping up all over the country, sadly...”tech instead of politics” are four words that should scare the fertilizer out of everyone...I also had a feeling that we’d get around to The Cicero Institute attacking the homeless and forcing them into hard labor (which Thiel and his ilk should be experiencing instead IMO)...in a related story, I know San Francisco has a homeless problem, but unless you’re talking about Housing First, then you really don’t have a desire to address the issue...looks like the reach of these cretins is indeed global, with Patri Friedman investing in Honduras as we learn, as well as Lonsdale traveling to the Philippines (and it looks like he was responsible for Diaper Donnie’s idiot musings about Greenland)...and again, we can’t forget about Couch Boy’s role in all of this, as much as we’d like to I’m sure...and “privatized foreign aid” with our tax dollars is also part of this wretched scam (slightly NSFW/H for a moment)...
...and Stephanie Ruhle of MS NOW interviews Ben Collins, who is overseeing the transition of Infowars into The Onion, with Alex Jones FINALLY forced to pay some of the dough owed to the Sandy Hook families...not surprised that it’s taken Collins 18 months of wrangling with Jones to get to the point where the families attacked by Jones and his minions will start to get what’s owed to them...
...and here is another seasonal selection.
