Good morning, y'all. Thanks for the cast, as always.
"Fat" Pumpkit is not fat at all! He is a purrfectly lovely and sassy pumpkit! Thank you for sharing his picture.
I hear your frustration with being media scolds, even I don't feel it nearly as hard as you do; you've been doing it longer and have seen/remember more of the fuckery. I would respectfully debate that it's a meaningless endeavor apart from capturing it for history's sake. I think there's value right now. I think we who listen to your cast (and read/seek out similar resources) are speaking this message out into the public discourse. It's taking an agonizing amount of time to begin echoing and resonating, but those things (I firmly believe) are happening and will continue to happen. It's worth repeating this message, partly because DAMMIT IT'S IMPORTANT, and partly because repetition is how you get something out there.
So, in short, thank you. What you're doing is worth it and important.
Stay safe in the weather.
Before I head out front and fire up the snow blower to get access to my side walk and street.
I am of the opinion that the press/ media who conclude that chasing Trump's every tossed ball and returning it to him thinking this is what Americans need to hear and it is easy for them to collect a paycheck. To get stories out. To people that subscribe to variety of news and are stuck with it showing o in their paper or TV network and web news outlets.
The
Trump all the time is irritating and obnoxious and steals from us all that other news we need to know about to make responsible decisions like on voting.
NYT knows well that Decide Brooks has never contributed any factoid /news that is of actual value. It is why he is in the Opinion section. His opinion doesn't 't bring any substance other than dismissing what Brooks wrote after wasting time reading him and giving it consideration of thought through. Crap to me is entertainment and enthusiastic rallying politics for others?
Perhaps more like, Brooks columns are assurances to some wealthy turds that some sort of influence and sentiment is there to make them feel comfortable by contributing to confuse those little people, The ones that actually think the constitution preamble that says, "We the People" are snubbed and disillusioned.
The media/ press could easily go out right now and find each and every GOP congressman /woman and ask them point blank. "Should president Biden be allowed to assassinate Trump for the security of the country an since he is immune as Trump claims and how the GOP has always treated a GOP president as a unitary president who is above the law?
This would sell and give headlines. But no. They watch Trump throw the red ball and they all chase it down to return it for the Donny to take and throw again.
Now, Got to go bundle up for the wind chill factor.
I'm pretty jaded when it comes to the goddamn media, but when they start running sound bites from Joe the fuck Lieberman without a pre-soundbite list of his crimes, it makes me want to yell and throw things.
This weekend is when the campaign actually begins, and from what I have read, it looks way less depressing than I was expecting, so there's that...
As much good as could be gained by the assassination of ten specific goddamn Republicans, I still agree with Biden that political violence is never to be countenanced, because that is the shitter that democracy goes down if it falls.
Also there was that thing that Gandalf said.
Run of the mill violence, on the other hand, can be very therapeutic. My older brother was a biker, and I have seen the positive side of well administered ass kickings with my own eyes. Imagine the sort of human beings that Fergus or Elmo would be right now if they had had someone around them in their twenties who cared enough about them to beat the living fuck out of them once or twice.
Not talking children here, full grown adults in need of guidance who will never get it and wouldn't listen to it if they did.
Thank you again for the podcast. It fucking snowed, but we got our Amazon deliveries today, so we will most likely make it through the week.
