Can you imagine the great university capitulating to the likes of Alan Dershowitz?
That’s what happened when Yale fired Dr. Bandy Lee, the heroic psychiatric professor who has tried to save the world from Trump. She dared to tweet a criticism of the increasingly erratic and dubious Dershowitz.
Josha Kendall has a good and even-handed piece in New York Magazine about Yale’s disgraceful abandonment of free speech principles.
To wit: his whinnying insistence that Michelle Obama’s voting drive represents “the rise of Fascism.”
Bolstering voter participation is the exact opposite of the Fascism that Bannon is working overtime to implement in this country — he knows that and reverts to his authoritarian playbook to flip the script.
Note to Michelle: Please, don’t go high this time. Come out swinging at this treasonous SOB.
S & S publishes some good books, many bad ones, and not infrequently descends to fetid loucheness. Goes all the way to the bottom. That’s what it’s done by contracting a book by–are you sitting down?–convicted criminal Paul Manafort, one of Trump’s traitorous associates, in which Manafort will claim that it was all a set up, he didn’t do anything wrong, he was punished for his undying allegiance to fountainhead of goodness Donald Trump.
Manafort’s slime may make the book difficult to handle. There’s always gloves.
Sarah K. Burris at Raw Story fills us in.
Their scientifically illiterate prattle today, courtesy of Fox “News” and other HIGHLY respected sources, confirms that they will exploit the court to aggressively remake the country and impose their apocalyptic, fringe agenda.
It’s not going to be only women’s reproductive rights and government’s attempts to ensure public health. They are preparing a series of rulings that will not only sandbag Biden and/or any other Democrat,but will radically undermine America’s ability to protect itself and its citizens. They will ferociously have at the federal government’s ability to regulate anything.
They don’t value life, they don’t value post-fetal humans, and every single one of them committed perjury during their confirmation hearings.
These people are sub par jurists but deft political operatives. And yes, Amy Coney Barrett, you ARE a political hack. We saw you coming a mile away. But don’t worry, you’re in good, or should I say bad company.
To save America, the Supreme Court must be expanded.
He believes that his prim, pinched expression and his verbal abuse could take him far. He certainly would do less damage to the country if he kept his practice private. Instead Carlson demanded a Soviet-style public recantation from Ted Cruz.
In all Fascist societies, such as the one that Tucker is trying to create here, there is no greater crime than telling the truth.
That’s what Tchernichova used to say about private patrons in the ballet world.
Reminds me of how Gates was able to rehabilitate his criminally-tainted reputation via the Gates Foundation.
Wondered about that when Jake Tapper reminded us of that shabby incident with Georgia’s secretary of state in 2020–one more in Graham’s career of ruthless political malfeasance, usually couched in a high-pitched hectoring screed–when Sen. Graham dared to accuse President Biden of politicizing January 6.
It’s not just the treason.
It’s the shamelessness.
The inevitable result of his embrace of vaccine Apartheid and patent-protection-before-people.
In The New Republic, Alexander Zaitchik describes Gates’ long-term practice of “reinforcing the system responsible for the very problems he claims to be trying to solve.”
The article was published last April, and, yes, Gates’ position on vaccines has evolved slightly since then, but it was shameful and remains flatfooted.
I received an email invitation from one Donald J. Trump inviting me to dinner with “your favorite President.”
His insistence on work requirements is a body blow to millions of Americans who’ve been raised out of poverty.
“There go all the grandparents raising children,” Joan McCarter writes at Daily Kos, “the disabled people who can’t work, those who can’t make enough in the low-wage jobs available to them to be able to afford child care, the people who earn too little to file taxes and who make up the bulk of families lifted out of poverty last year by the expanded Child Tax Credit payments.”
Why doesn’t Manchin insist that the military contractors on whom he has lavished trillions of dollars prove that their patronage by the U.S. government is enhancing the safety of Americans?
