Olbermann: Countdown to Rumsfeld

Keith Olbermann (@KeithOlbermann) Tweeted:
Donald Rumsfeld is dead.

With that news, here is the first @MSNBC Countdown Special Comment, from Aug. 30 2006. It was a response to his still-amazing claim that critics of the Bush War in Iraq were guilty of “moral or intellectual confusion” https://t.co/u143vn9BYf https://t.co/5KX5EXkPHK https://twitter.com/KeithOlbermann/status/1410341099223195648?s=20

Keith Olbermann (@KeithOlbermann) Tweeted:
BREAKING: House votes for Pelosi’s Select Committee on 1/6.

Don’t sleep on this panel: it may be our best bet to save Democracy.

The best part: she appoints 8 members and has veto power over the other 5! https://t.co/9bxxeCYcgL https://twitter.com/KeithOlbermann/status/1410372582184939520?s=20

Look at the UK and Russia, both have huge increases

and it is the Delta variant that is to blame. Deaths aren't increasing in the UK very much but they are in Russia. I have had to tell my relatives to continue wearing masks today. I read three separate threads on DU today...

Have you ever had a NDE (near death experience)?

Do you know anyone who has had one? Sharon Stone and Liz Taylor have had them as have hundreds of thousands around the world, from various cultures.

Moral Monday March on Manchin

https://www.wtrf.com/news/west-virginia-headlines/poor-peoples-campaign-to-hold-moral-march-on-manchin/

The Poor People’s Campaign will hold a demonstration against West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin on Monday evening.

Liberal activists will gather at a park in Charleston to hold a “Moral March on Manchin.”

They are rallying against the moderate Democrat’s decision to oppose a landmark overhaul of U.S. election law.

Manchin opposes the proposal known as For the People Act because he believes it risks further stoking partisan divides.

As a key senator in a divided chamber, Manchin has frustrated progressive Democrats with his reluctance to support several key agenda items.

Is "Abuse Of Power" another federal crime to add to his list

of a zillion other crimes like Obstruction Of Justice, Starting a Ressurection, killing thousands with Covid, etc? If this doesn't get him locked up nothing will.


Just a short lkst of his crimes...

Definitely! Need to set a precedent.

No more of "Can a sitting president....?". Will there now be a GOP rule that an EX-POTUS can't be charged of crimes too?

Ali Velshi is subbing for Lawrence O'Donnell tonight and is covering this now on MSNBC.

Here is a good list to start with...

Hey Washington, get a vax and a joint.

https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus-live-updates/

Still anxious about getting the COVID-19 vaccine? Washington state is offering adults a relaxing new incentive — marijuana joints.

The program, launched by the state's Liquor and Cannabis Board and named "Joints for Jabs," runs until July 12 and allows state-licensed dispensaries to give qualifying customers one pre-rolled joint at an in-store vaccination clinic.

Eligible participants must be 21 years old or older and have to have received their first or second dose during that visit.

This is only the latest among Washington's abundant vaccination incentives, which include free tickets to sports events and a lottery totaling up to $1 million. Just a few weeks ago, the Liquor and Cannabis Board announced an incentive that allows breweries, wineries, and restaurants to offer free drinks to vaccinated adults.
