Just When You Thought The Guy Couldn't Sink Any Lower

From Greg Sargent at Who Runs Gov:

"Joe Lieberman May Hold Hearings On Obama’s “Czar” Problem"

Say, does anyone know if they make these in human size?

You know. I'm a pro Israel guy myself. But this Lieberman pandering to republicans is just freaking sick GE. Is this guy so hard up for friends he has to make them with the likes of Ensign and Larry Craig?

Truth,

I have lived and worked in Israel, and regard myself as quite pro-Israeli. As far as I am concerned, the neocons and people like Lieberman are pursuing their own dreams of hegemony, and I do not believe that what they want is in any way in Israel's interests. Furthermore, My experience of Israeli Jews is that they are far more open to admitting what they have done wrong, and far more ready to make accommodations than the neocons are. I guess that's the difference between being in the line of fire and sitting eleven thousand miles away, and typing out mindless belligerence.

Turn the tables: If Bush had been creating a bunch of powerful positions that have virtually no transparency (remember that promise?), would you be crying foul?

Of course you would! You are the guy who calls Bush a lying war criminal and bashed him for making a library.

Asking for transparency or calling out Obama on breaking his promise isn't whining or wrong. Why not question? What have we to lose? It isn't policy, it is the structure of his administration.

Bush had more "czars" than Obama did, something you must know, Derek, if you follow the news. The notion that a president has no right to have advisers of his choice would be laughable if it were not just one more specimen of the endless, mindless smears the right thinks up as its only answer to this honorable, serious man.

It's Okay, Never Mind

The woman in this picture, equipped with the weapons and ammunition shown, was found outside a National guard base. She is apparently a big Glenn Beck fan, and believed that the base was a FEMA concentration camp. Think she's the only one out there? You just know this sort of thing is not going to end well.

If a Tree Falls In the Woods

 And nobody hears it, is it really running for President at all? First of all, a note about my absence lately:  My wife got me to sign up for an account at Threads, which is sort of like X without the assholes.  I've spent a little time establishing myself there, and I have to say, I do like the relatively immediate exchange of views, but I don't mean to give up my blog- there are still so many things that can't be dealt with in a couple hundred words, so, perhaps to your dismay, I am back. So, what motivated the above question is the fact that the Sunday New York Times today had seven articles about Trump, and absolutely zero about Kamala Harris.   The Republicans have a problem with Harris, in that virtually everyone who sees her likes her and immediately understands how qualified she is to be President.  They have tried mightily the last month to find some way to smear her, but have been spectacularly unsuccessful- the tactics of character assassination ...

Wingnuts Slightly Annoyed about that $83 Million

Image
How can you look like a decrepit old geezer and an out of control two year old at the same time? I thought it might be nice to look in on wingnut world to see how they are taking yesterday's $83 million dollar Trump legal loss.  You kind of know that they will decide it shouldn't affect their opinion of him in any way, but it might be helpful to see just how the Republican party has trained them to reject any fact they don't like.  Not that surprisingly, a lot of the usual wingnut suspects didn't touch this loss at all, preferring to just ignore anything that interferes with their hateful daydreams, but here are a few excerpts from an article at Gateway Pundit, along with a sample of the hundreds of comments it received.  Enjoy.  Or not. "Trump attorney Alina Habba WENT OFF after the crooked New York City court slapped President Trump with an $83 million judgment for speaking out against the disgusting lies of a crazed woman who said he lured her into a Bergdorf Go...
