she allowed them to talk back her progressive positions under her very nose.

Never again must a fiasco like the Harris campaign be allowed, and the “Abundance” (for real estate developers) revanchist movement in the party must be squashed.

to people like Dr. Bandy Lee, they will not understand that MAGA is a mental illness, and they will keep asking dumb questions like “How did Joni Earnest turn into this?”

is his ability to con people.

Again, we were buffaloed by the corporate media and too many elected officials from both parties that he was some sort of visionary.

give an incredible performance at Madison Square Garden on Thanksgiving, 1969, as opening act for the Rolling Stones.

A snippet of footage turns up on You Tube of Tina singing “Land of a Thousand Dances,” and Janis grooving in the wings.   

Linda Gravenites, who attended with Janis, told me a poignant and funny story about Janis and the Stones that I may save for my memoirs.

Janis and friends had driven up to MSG together with Tina, Ike, and their musicians in  a flotilla of limousines, after–I have to check my transcripts–I think it was a Thanksgiving meal at the Fillmore East.

The moral decay of MAGA is  what the “Abundance” (for real-estate developers) movement wants to perpetuate and encourage–it is a direct outgrowth of the inequality and rage fostered by neoliberal economic policies.

How is it tolerable that Trump says about Biden:  “If you feel sorry for him, don’t feel so sorry ’cause he’s vicious, what he did with his political, all of the people that he hurt, he hurt a lot of people by and so I really don’t feel sorry for him.” ?? 

Brooks’ latest lie-filled encomium to the neoliberalism that has produced today’s unprecedented income disparities and made Trump inevitable is confronted by Inequality Media’s Reich with facts. 

Which doesn’t mean that the billionaires won’t agitate for it to be the party platform yet again so that the Democratic party can be spared the shame of ever winning another presidential election. 

“Abundance” is cousin to the “affordable housing” scam and both are heavily funded by real estate developers demanding that all regulations on development be jettisoned so that they can continue to build more and bigger housing for the well off.

Democratic voters aren’t falling for the Abundance racket, as recent polling demonstrates.

Brett Wilkins at Common Dreams parses the populist wheat from the billionaire Neo liberals chaff.

Ostensibly she’s recused herself from the craven negotiations with Trump, but that’s only after making it know that she wants to settle with him on his completely frivolous lawsuit against 60 Minutes. That opens her to legal prosecution on charges of bribery, since it’s more than obvious that she’s doing it to win approval for her Paramount’s merger with Skydance. In the mean time, she’s destroying CBS News, which is shedding key personnel and suffering a crisis of morale, natch. 

Why did we turn our media over to these people?

It still doesn’t have its government funding back, does it?

you can be sure it won’t get half the hype that the Tapper-Thompson opus has.

The book that I refer to is one that will examine how the corporate media continued to treat a convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, and leader of a coup against the United States as a legitimate presidential candidate.

On Lawrence O’Donnell last night, Norm Orenstein described how the “mainstream” media’s completely excessive attention to Original Sin is a way to disguise its own culpability for the Tramp calamity. .
