Just a small, personal observation

Seeing as how I’m mostly stuck at home these days, I have the teevee machine on for company. When Animal Planet isn’t showing wildlife programs, it’s set to C-span or PBS or MSNBC. Today it was the latter, and something interesting is happening.

Nicolle Wallace now has Chuck Todd’s former time slot, and she’s been relentless in cutting the administration no slack. Then, instead of the usual one hour show, Joy Reid was on for two hours; if you can find a video of her interview with Malcolm Nance, watch it, it is spectacular. Now, Rachel Maddow is into her second hour, and she’s going hot hot HOT.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but there’s a certain satisfaction that it is these ladies of the fourth estate who are taking our misogynist racist POTUS to the fire and holding his feet, and his ass, to it. He will no doubt view that as nasty salt in the wound. We know better, and can rightly applaud with a loud and sustained BRAVA!

Malcolm Nance, just now

"He's the drunk, dancing monkey with an AK47" -- Malcolm Nance, talking about Trump's remarks about military members.

He speaks truth.

ETA: on with Joy Reid

It's been many years since I last tended bar, but...

...if someone at my bar maundered on with such incoherence, he'd get cut off even if he was only drinking diet Shirley Temples, if only because he clearly needed to be elsewhere (like, maybe, some place with padded walls).

Yeeeesh.

BUCKing common sense. Again.

He was one of the spewers, er, speakers on the first night of the RNC. Colorado congressman Ken Buck is in desperate need of replacement. The pics accompany the article, link below.

If you can, please send some support to Democrat Ike McCorkle -- https://ike4co.com/
