The Day Matt Taibbi Became David Brooks

Failure for sale or hire
Used to write with real fire
Nothing left now but my debts
So I rent my balls for castanets...

You hate to see it but, as I've mentioned before, I have seen the future of Fox News.  

And you are not going to like it.




I Am The Liberal Media

I eagerly await the articles from Taibbi, Weiss, Sully, and Bedbug decrying Harwood's cancellation.

All the lofty pride and comradery. The glorious superiority of their race, skin color. Their religious beliefs?

Going thro all the Hub-bub to design their insignia, their flag, their mottos. Their strict adherence to the copied tenets of Fascist NAZIS of the past.

Demanding respect for their pure as snow ideology that leads to the Garden of Eden.

All this effort and spending of big wealthy donor money to promote and organize to be as loud as possible.

Then their nemesis Dark Brandon calls them out in a public forum. They cry, Tissue their tears. Shout wildly of their sensitive huts feeling.

Don't call me Fascist. Exactly like the KKK members said abbot calling them "racist".

Again, I watch our media treating QANON, MAGA, Proud BOUS, Oath Keepers as some grass roots uprising to the evil suppressions of helping All Americans and not just the the wealthy and connected.
If they would spend a bit of journalistic time on them looking back. They will find these are the TEA party, they are the KKK, they are John Birchers, the same 20 - 25 percent of the GOP (the base) that still stand with Dick the Cheney and his outing of a undercover CIA agent on middle east Nukes outed to push his wars. In the name of the dark side and to provide those military suckers and losers something to do to be proud of, (in his mind).
The GOP base is what sets the general election table with GOP bent candidates. The rest of the party vote "R". They will get those tax cuts and if the GOP does things to harm the working class and punish them, it doesn't bother them.
Putting it in Trump's words from HJ^,

"Let the violent crazies in, shut off the metal detectors so they can come in with their weapons. They are not here to harm me. They are here to harm other people. Other people I am supposed to represent as Americans while being President."
Not sure if general election GOP voters voted in the primary, if it would alter candidate outcomes in conjunction voting with the GOP base? Or would it?

You tell me? How does the TEA Party differ from the MAGA? How does a Brown recluse spider differ from a Black Widow spider? They are are of the Arachnid family.

Fiscal conservatives are in the same family as the Authoritarian.
It is one big tree house

Fucking Taibbi. I remember a time he thought the war on terror was a bad thing. So all of a sudden someone ends our overseas wars, stops droning people, and promotes peace in places like Yemen.

Can't have the war on terror ending! What will I write about? ... I'VE GOT IT GLENN!

Fucking Taibbi, indeed. He always had the same core "libertarian streak" that Greenwald had.
Taibbi used to be the guy that wrote about the banks, until he became the guy that used to write about the banks. Wonder why?

Biden ending the Afghan War and curtailing DroneZ wrecks the narrative Taibbi and Greenwaldovich have been selling to the erstwhile Left for over a decade if there be a difference in Parties, then the BothSides the shit out of it won't be available to the FORWARD (to more GOP victories) PARTY!

Glem Greenvald at least had the smarts to pivot and claim the Democrat Party is the Party of the FBI and unjust searches in anticipation of The TrumPutsch and the Jan6th Coup plotters criminal attempts to subvert the US Government coming to light. Thus, when the rabid Magats were primed to hate upon the FBI Greenwald had already established his Bona Fides

Just for the record, the elements of Trumpism are already on the books as crimes.

I see Biden turning on the light. Not bringing it home.


Light bothers cockroaches and if you walk into a dark room and turn on the light (if you have a roach problem) The cockroach will scurry out of the light.

But if you have a desperate population of roaches, hungry form lack of god and water. Or ahigh coemption for food , water and harborage because of a large population of cockroaches.

They will subject themselves to light out of desperation.

Biden did not bring home the cockroaches. He turned on the light and we can now see the population of cockroaches because some of them are now subjecting themselves to light out of desperation.. While others scurried away to the comfort of darkness.

We can now deploy some ascorbic acid powder. The FOX and Newsmax roach motels are so crowded many of them can check in and check out by walking over the others stuck in the hotel.
No one is replacing the roach motels as needed.

Biden is simply providing basic pest control advice.

Just another example why you should never trust a cynic.

Is it Taibbi and GReenwaldo are making their pitches to take over for Brooks at the NYT?

They think Brooks is going somewhere?

They smell the republican socialized pay check for right wing billionaires.
