Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has signed into law a bill to protect the young from Frankenstein doctors and demented parents. As might be expected, some mainstream media pundits are losing their minds over it. Take for example this MSNBC clown, Chris Hayes. Notice the way he frames the legislation and the arguments; parents are being […]
CJ Hopkins So, welcome to 2021! If last week was any indication, it is going to be quite an exciting year. It is going to be the year in which GloboCap reminds everyone who is actually in charge and restores “normality” throughout the world. …or at least attempts to restore “normality,” or the “New Normality,” …
It seems this case should have closed years ago-- but this isn't a TV show like The Balcklist and well-connected, crooked multimillionaires have a way of drawing these things out forever. No doubt Broidy expects to be eventually pardoned by Trump. Broidy is going to plead guilty to relatively minor crimes involved in failure to disclose that he was a lobbyist attempting to stop a US criminal investigation into a multi-billion dollar fraud at a Malaysian investment fund, while protecting Trump and the Mercer family from far more serious charges involving the Saudis and Emeratis.
Currently there are 53 Republicans in the Senate and all they need to confirmed a replacement for RBG is a simple majority-- 50 (+ Pence to break a tie).
As you know, Trump only hires the best people. An acolyte first of Ollie North and then of Roger Stone, Michael Caputo was appointed assistant secretary of public affairs in the Department of Health and Human Services by Trump, despite having no experience with healthcare, other than his own very severe mental illness. Instead, he has spent much of his adult life living in Russia trying to polish Putin's image and as a swampy Florida spin-doctor and lobbyist. A sexist pig and overt racist, Caputo's loyalty lies with Putin and Trump, not with the U.S.
I believe the first time I heard of Elliott Broidy was when the NY Times revealed him to be working with a very right-wing shady Mercer family SuperPAC, Secure America Now (SAN), which Broidy was using to leverage the Trump regime into filling key positions with individuals favorable to-- meaning, like Broidy himself, bought off by-- the Saudi and UAE governments. Mercer was one of just 4 uber-wealthy far-right and very crooked contributors providing SAN with the millions of dollars it needed for its entirely nefarious projects.
The Bernie/Biden unity task forces presented their proposals to Biden this week. No Green New Deal, no Medicare-for-All, no reparations for slavery, no legalized pot, no free college... none of the beautiful, bold ideas that invigorated young voters this cycle. In fact, Biden is promising what he's always promised: no fundamental change, just a little correction around the edges on a few things...
"Guess what," said Chris Hayes Wednesday night in a brilliant commentary (above) on the Bolton-Trump revelations, "Donald Trump is exactly as terrible as we thought he was and John Bolton is exactly who we thought he was as well. That afternoon, we had all read how Trump begged President Xi Jinping of China to help him win reelection. Today in an interview Trump did with the Wall Street Journal's Michael Bender, he struck out at Xi.
-by Helen KleinThe nation’s food supply is not going very well. What will be done about it? Is anyone in government looking at it?Last week on MSNBC, Chris Hayes aired, "The Real Reason Grocery Shelves are Empty" (above). This segment highlighted the massive amounts of food currently rotting and being dumped: thousands of gallons of milk are being spilled from storage facilities, eggs are being smashed and farmers are plowing under tons of vegetables. Why?
Thursday evening Bernie did his first TV interview since dropping out and instead of going on TV with some hostile establishment shill he went on the air with MSNBC's savviest critical thinker and most reliable journalist, Chris Hayes. Talking about his discussions with Biden, Bernie said that Biden's "people are very smart and they understand that in order to beat somebody like Trump they're going to have to generate a lot of excitement, a lot of energy and reach out to people who have not necessarily been all that supportive of the vice president.
