Glenn Kirschner on Liz Cheney’s Ouster

Meidas Touch – The Rules of the Demagogue

Don Winslow – Party of the Insane

Now This News – Critical Race Theory. People who think they are Christians seem to forget (if indeed they ever know) that Jesus came not only to comfort the afflicted, but also to afflict the comfortable.

Robert Reich – Yes, I worry too.

Something – um – different from Titus.

Beau on labor shortages. (Seeing as in my state, unemployment is capped at 75% of what you were making at the job you lost, if there are no other jobs available that pay more than that, you are going to be hurting no matter what you do.)

  1. Republicans Oust Liz Cheney for Telling the Truth

    Speaker Pelosi:

    “Congresswoman Liz Cheney is a leader of great courage, patriotism and integrity.  Today, House Republicans declared that those values are unwelcome in the Republican party.

    “The Republican denial of the truth presented by Congresswoman Cheney is reflected in their denial of the need to seek the truth in a January 6th commission and to repair the damage of January 6th with a security supplemental immediately.

    “For the sake of our democracy, reasonable Republicans across the country must take back their party.”

    The Rules of the Demagogue

    Trump had 12 Positive Accomplishments & 2 Negative Accomplishments.

    The problem is that those 14 Accomplishments are the Traits of Fascism:

    #PartyOfTheInsane

    Prototype of “BatShitCrazy!”

    GOP Tries to Ban Teaching Critical Race Theory

    Kristi Noem: Perfect prototype of “BatShitCrazy”

    Ignorance THIS profound has to be cultivated and nurtured. And that’s the role of Fox news, Newsmax, OAN, Breitbart, etc., etc.

    • Yup, yup, and more yup.  Jristi Noem though – well, there are so many – “Nazi Barbie” was trending lately, and I’m sure pertly because there are so many and people wanted to know which.  Was it Kayleigh?  Ivanka? Laura? maybe Paula?  Turned out that – this time – it was Tomi.  It’s tough to keep track.

  2. JM: Kirchner hopes the GQP is committing suicide by ousting Cheney and while he said it this lovely button came into view. I thought it nice to have in our collection of images on PP too.

    MT: The fact that this ad needed to be made and made public shows that the former guy may be less visible now but the GQP still is the party he symbolises. The GQP is Fascism under a new name. No more, No less.

    DWF: A very effective 33 seconds, except for calling the Republican party insane. Brevity is essential in 30 seconds but it’s not the party but its leaders and voters who are collectively insane.

    NTN: Critical Race Theory? What a terrible name to give to must-give classes. It put me completely on the wrong foot by having me think that it is a lesson in White Supremacy. So, for White Supremacists, i.e. the GQP, it must be easy to brand it as quite the opposite, let’s say more of a lesson in BLM. But neither my misunderstanding nor the GQP’s willing misinterpretation of the lesson’s content should take away from the shocking fact that far too many states simply rewrite the history lessons to fit the Republican narrative. Apparently, there’s scaringly little “united” in the US as far as history lessons go.

    RR: This is incredibly scary. Again typical Democratic complacency is rearing its ugly head. Of course, the real trouble is that in reality, Democrats have nothing like a majority; not while Manchin and Sinema are pretending to sit on the Democratic side of the aisle. I fear that all Biden’s hard work will come to nothing after the mid-terms and his presidency will end up being nothing more than a bump in the road to totalitarianism.

    TT: Funny, but we can only hope that “Bad news will never be that good again”.

    Beau: IMO, Beau sounded like a real Social Democrat there. Kudos to him.

  3. Thanks JD 35.  I’m in too much pain and am too likely to leak 

    💩

    to deal with videos, but I’ll try.

    GK – It certainly is a bad day for the Republican Reich, but it’s also a bad day for the Democrats, if we lionize the Lizard of Lies!

    NTN – TYPICAL Republican BS!

    The Reich on the left, Robert Reich, is Right!  BEWARE the Reich on the Right, The Republican Reich!
