The ideas are slimy and bigoted.Whaddaya want people to do, act like these are the utterances of Erasmus and St. Augustine rolled into one? Or save time and just say, Gahh, yuck, bigoted slime.

This is why kids run from cops in sheer terror. Which then allows these Trump supporters to sneer, “If they hadn’t run, they wouldn’t have been shot, so it’s their fault.”

When Time Warner took over they basically hustled him out of the place. CNN is Jeff Zucker plus Time Warner nowadays.

Republicans in North Carolina are simply elated about the death of Keith Scott and the ensuing protests. The state had been tilting back from red to purple, losing money because of the bathroom insanity, and becoming in general a national laughingstock (as all Republican states become, sooner or later, when anybody…

If you could guarantee that everything Trump proposes would be imposed on them personally, his Republican base would scream bloody murder and head for the exits. They might actually rediscover (or, in most cases, discover) the Bill of Rights and the loftiest ideals of the founding fathers.

The story here is totally about CNN. We already know that Trump has gone out of his way to surround himself with fascistic, mendacious, white nationalist thugs, including, apparently, his own adult sons (we don’t know about Barron, yet).

Forget punishing Andrea Tantaros for having terrible politics and saying terrible things and deserving all bad things.

If that happened, Chuck Todd would go on Joe Scarborough’s show the very next morning and Mika might fuss a bit, but Chuck and Mark Halperin and Joe and Mike and the kids would agree that it was an amazing and transformative moment, and that Trump looked strong and decisive when he said it, and that “we in the press”…

Whenever I shop in a black or Hispanic neighborhood, my little-old-ladiness ceases to be a handicap, and I am invariably treated with great kindness and attention. For some reason, white people (girl clerks as well as boy clerks) can no longer see me, but everybody else is as nice as pie.

He is a Koch employee who is preparing for his shot at the presidency. He has bigger things to think about than the job he’s supposed to be doing, or the people he’s supposed to be doing it with.

Lucas is a Pence guy; Pence is a Charles Koch guy; and Koch and the rest of the fossil fuel oligarchy have been agitating for years to privatize our public lands so they can mine the shit out of them. These are all old guys who are going to die soon enough; they know perfectly well they’re destroying the earth, but…

PS, Lester Holt, who is “moderating” this first debate, is, like Matt Lauer, an employee and protege of NBC Chairman Andy Lack, who has boasted behind the scenes that he personally designed that Lauer sit-down with Hillary and Donald, presumably with the full intention of making Hillary look bad and Donald look like a…

The vile Ailes got Nixon elected in 1968, despite Nixon’s phenomenal unattractiveness plus his history of lies, smears, duplicity, mendacity, neurosis, arcane sexual proclivities, Red-baiting, and general full-on loathsomeness.

Doublenewspeak.

The same authority that has concluded it’s a bad idea to murder people, even if in so doing we give ourselves a financial or social advantage we could not otherwise obtain; to buy and sell human beings, even though it can be immensely profitable; or to go into courtrooms and give false testimony, even we believe if…

It could indeed save him from that heart attack, if he buys the living heart of an eight year old orphan from Guatemala and has it transplanted into his own body, which is something $18 b lets you do, smarty. Plus, the orphan was going to have a crappy life anyhow, so win/win.

Chucky Luciano? Are you kidding me?

America may deserve him, but I certainly don’t.

PS—NBC’s Andrea Mitchell is already on air spinning the New York bombing as a big win for Trump.

Ultra reactionary Federalist Society nominees to the federal judiciary will, however, make it through this Congress, and that will change everyone’s lives (considerably for the worse, in most cases) for the rest of the century, assuming we last that long.
