"The point of a war, other than to gain territory, is to put the guy you want in charge of somebody elses' country. And we're now only debating, after the article in the New York Times yesterday, how much the Russians decided our election."
That for me said it all.
It was great having Real Time back on last night, it has been sorely missed.
And you did not get a chance to watch it you are in luck, because the whole show has been uploaded, by HBO mind you, onto YouTube.
Enjoy.
Well, some one/thing clearly invaded White House Press spokescritter, Sean Spicer's brain. Evidently, shouting PERIOD after a blatant lie shifts it from propaganda to "news".
ReplyDeleteTrump must crumble whenever a "size" differential is mentioned about him. His inaugural crowd is now the biggest in history (per Spicer's spittle-flecked rant).
I boldly estimated the regime tenure at 2 years after the election. Am revising that to 2-6 months.
Just today I heard myself say to a friend that "I'd rather have Sarah Palin for President". Interesting times.
I remember Spicer from the W Bush years and he wasn't a maniac in front of the cameras like today. That statement he made today was unreal.
DeleteTrump's inaugural balls were the best too. I was glued to my TV. Beyonce was there and Rihanna and U2 and the Rolling stones...and I saw Whitney Houston and George Michael and the Beatles and Frank Sinatra and...

DeleteI saw Elvis in the crowd.
DeleteSarah Roberts
It's worse than that.
DeleteSomeone must have made some calls.
The Department of the Interior shut down the twitter account for the National Park System because they dared to retweet the comparison photos of Obama's inaugural crowds and Trump's inaugural crowds. Those tweets have been removed.
So day one and we're already seeing the suppression of facts and the propaganda coming from the White House.
You can almost predict it.
It means we can't believe anything coming from the government. We are going to have to rely on alternative methods for information and confirmation.
Or, I suppose, simply take a 180 on anything coming from the White House.
Trump visits CIA and states "we should have stole the oil" Logical thinking says he was in favor of invasion because that is the only way to steal Iraq oil. But he claims he was against an invasion.. For Christ sake this asshole is all over the map on his beliefs. We are SOOOOO fucked!
ReplyDeletewar for profit - the republican wet dream
DeleteAnd he even said maybe we'll have the chance to take the oil again. WTF!
DeleteWar for profit, prisons for profit, medicine for profit, education for profit. These fundamentalist xtitans need to watch their backs because
Delete"For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul?" According to what they say they believe, there are a whole lotta souls in jeopardy.

It galls me how Republicans LOVE war and could care less that young American men die in them! Notice how our representatives in Congress typically have no skin in the game EVER!
DeleteFuck them and make sure you vote them out of office when and if they come up for reelection in your areas!
I think there is going to be a major revolt against Republicans and I'm going to be one that leads it in my area.
Trump will help bring them down!
ReplyDeleteOT, but some great women's march signs if interested:

ReplyDeleteNY Times Exposed For Hiding Trump Story At FBI’s Request (DETAILS)
ReplyDelete...The New York Times admitted on Saturday that they had information about Russian interference in the 2016 elections, Trump’s computer server having ties to a Russian bank and Vladimir Putin, and the ongoing investigation into Russia’s claims of having “compromising financial and personal” information on Donald Trump. They chose not to report on any of those things until after the election.
The reason they held on to that information is even more upsetting than the fact that they held onto it. They kept it silent because the FBI asked them to do so.
http://www.bipartisanreport.com/2017/01/21/ny-times-exposed-for-hiding-trump-story-at-fbis-request-details/
We certainly know now that Comey and the FBI are as corrupt as Trump! Makes me sick to my stomach.
DeleteThat all feeds into the disrespect Americans have for the cops, FBI agents, etc. It's become so apparent they cannot be trusted.
Watch what Trump will do w/the police forces throughout our country within his first year.
There will be more American uprisings as time moves along - and ultimately his impeachment! There is no way Americans will let Trump maintain a dictatorship! Congress will have to listen to us and impeach him. I don't see Trump lasting through his first term!
No, I think the NYT kept silent because they wanted to concentrate their attention on, good grief, the emails before the election. They said they didn't think the Russian connection warranted their attention back in late October. Even the Wash. Post had articles then about the story. No, the NYT is trying not to look as bad as it did when it bought into the lies that led to the Iraq invasion by Bush II.
DeleteBeaglemom
This is extremely disturbing; I know the NY FBI office director has been waging a personal vendetta on the Clinton’s since Bill was in office.
DeleteWhy isn’t the fact the NY Times sat on info more widely reported?
However it does explain the WH all out war on the media. Make them look illegitimate before the truth comes out.
Pres Obama mentioned we told you about this back in October, no one listened. Maybe he should have been clearer.
When a toddler melts down because the cookie you handed him looks smaller than the one his brother got, you don't say "they are the same size", you say "your's is BBBIIIIGGGER ".
ReplyDeleteSean Spicer short-circuited a melt down in the Oval Office, then tried to threaten the press into backing him up.
We have entered the "bunker mentality" that infected the final days of the Nixon agony.
This is not political to Trump, this is personal. He just wants to get revenge on President Obama. He's doing everything to wipe out whatever President Obama did.
ReplyDeleteTrump’s inaugural cake was commissioned to look exactly like Obama’s, baker says

If I were the one commissioned to do so, I would have told him to fuck off but that's just me.
DeleteI wish the cake would have fallen over on his fat ass when he held the saber to make the one slice in the cake!
DeleteIf President Obama want to really get trump he'd advise him to do the exact opposite of what he wants him to do.
DeleteTell him repeal Obamacare and trump won't

The way our life works with too much content and a backlog of recordings we'll get to this in about 5 weeks, we just watched the SNL's with from October-December last night on very fast forward only watching the good parts, but that's what happens when there are hundreds of shows on your hard drive requiring watching or they will disappear.

Contact your Senators and Representative. Doesn't matter if you are in their local district. They represent the state and the US.
ReplyDeleteTell them what you want from them. If you don't get it, work to make sure they are never again elected.
As to Murkowski and the guy, Sullivan, from Ohio (but now representing Alaska) in the U.S. Congress:
DeleteOVER and OUT when they next come up for reelection. They are both for taking down The Affordable Care Act and are Republicans!
Murkowski always lies through her friggin' teeth - check her record - says one thing to Alaskans and does the exact opposite.
And, I could give a shit less that she moved into Ted Stevens old office in D.C.! Why that made the Anchorage newspaper is beyond me. It was irrelevant and a waste of paper and print! There are far more important things going on in D.C. that should garner her fucking attention! Not her goddamn move within the building!

It was really painful to see this blow hole during the long, really long church service. I'll bet that was the longest time he ever sat thru anything like it. I dunno considering this was only day 2....lets hope for stomach ulcers, then by by asswipe.
ReplyDeleteI don't see the obese jerk as a Christian. Remember, he is the one who stated he never apologizes or has asked for forgiveness! Plus, he has rarely EVER attended church!
DeleteThe jerk does NOT represent me in any way, shape or form and never will! My opinion is totally based on his words, actions, lies and personal history.
Has anyone noticed that Sarah hasn't said word one about the inauguration...or did I miss something? She's still pissed she didn't get invited...LOL!
ReplyDeleteProbably trying to get bail money together for Track.
DeleteBut she made sure to bitch about the women's march.
DeleteThe Trump realm lies just never stop, even when it comes to a book they expect museums to sell:

Who gives a flying fuck about Sarah Palin? Not many in our world of today. She has zero relevance and the Republican party detests her! So do the majority of Alaskans!
DeleteI kinda get pissed that people are shitting their pants now that hitlers mini me is in the house. People should have made it to the polls. But i think the electorate, russia, gop,the kochs were frightened of Hillary. Màkes me suspect she would have been a fearless leader. And thèy spent beacoup bucks for 30 years to bring her down.

The SNL cold open tonight was too good. Won't talk about it in case IMers haven't seen it, except to say that the "pension" mention is a reference some people may not get. When word came out this week about the intel saying how Russia may have gotten $ into the US to pay off people working to mess up the election, it was said that one way was through the pensions of Russian-Americans.
ReplyDeleteERA returns. Well, it gets brought up in congress every year, but maybe now it will get real attention again and passed:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/politics/bal-cardin-equal-rights-amendment-20170121-story.html
Not by this Congress. The GOP is soundly against the ERA as they are against anything that helps a more or less significant group of Americans. Now laws that help the millionaires and billionaires only, that's different. Those laws receive automatic support by the GOP.

Olbermann makes valid points occasionally but they're always clouded with his aura of self-righteousness. Also, he clearly feuds with just about everybody. Rachel Maddow has described his hostile workplace behavior, some of it directed specifically at her. His checkered history and some of his own anguished admissions/apologies reveal he's more troubled even than most people. Ditto Bill Maher.
ReplyDeleteBoth men are entertaining, but not reliable sources for factual information or unbiased opinions.
Sorry bullsh*t, sorry comment Jude @10:32 pm.
Deletedowl
Unbiased? Pretty had not to have an opinion about the Fraud in Chief, isn't it?
DeleteOlberman is an idiot. That is why you find him on you tube, sharing space with another joke 'news' team, the young turks.
DeleteSo we have deadly tornadoes in Mississippi (which went for Trump.) When can we expect a presser telling us how the Bald One is praying for the victims? And I'm sure his crackerjack staff informed him that he should call the Governor and offer help. What? No calls? No help? Oh, snap. I bet FEMA is leaderless unless Obama's very competent guy is still there. So sorry, MS. Trump didn't mean he'd make you great again. Federal aid costs too much. I foresee months of us telling the creeps what their job is while Donnie trots off to the CIA and FBI to promote..Trump.
ReplyDeleteMaybe some guy with a hedge fund could come down to MS and offer some great deals . . . . Trump, who was apparently really ticked off by the world-wide marches yesterday, finally had to have someone tweet some supportive words to all of those who showed their love of democracy yesterday. it was obvious that the tweet was not from Donald.
DeleteBeaglemom
I guess you didn’t get the memo; trump is not doing any work until Monday. In fact he isn’t planning on working on any weekends, so Mother Nature better plan her disasters during business hours.
DeleteThe speech at the CIA wasn’t working it was campaigning.
Yea, Bill Maher! So good to have him back after his annual time off in Hawaii.
ReplyDeleteOne of my most favored shows!
We, the people of the United States, are now residents in the empire of the president "with no clothes." No one will be allow to report genuine facts, only "alternative facts" will be fit for his ears. God help us all - I mean that from the bottom of my heart.
