Smerconish missed it

[question everything]

Just watched his morning show. He asked his viewers to vote of whether Samantha Bee should be fired.

And at the end of the show he predicted that the results would be too close.

Ha! 77% voted NO; 23% - Yes.

3. We were talking about it at the Indivisible meeting

Where a few of us get together in a sub-group every weekend to write up the next week’s “Call to Action” email.

My friend noted a couple of companies had pulled their ads. A couple? Just a couple? The concensus is - that’s about as much of an uproar as there’ll be. A trifle, compared to the avalanche of outrage against Roseanne and also against Laura Ingraham. By a week from now, so much new shit will have happened that any outrage will fade.

Interesting to note the comparative decibel levels here, ‘eh? In both cases, it looks like our side actually makes a much more mighty roar about this stuff than the anemic harrumphing from the other side.

It makes me wonder about the clout we wield in this side of the aisle. Maybe advertisers are growing a lot more sensitive to what insults us liberals and progressives? Maybe there’s a greater concern about what pleases US?

If that’s a factor, then maybe we do have more potential clout than the other guys do?

Besides, I’ve seen more voices speaking in defense of Samantha Bee and the point she was trying to make, about the shallowness and insensitivity of Ivanka’s latest mother-‘n’-child pose while children of immigrants are being torn out of their parents’ arms at the border. Totally thoughtless and self-absorbed of Ivanka to do that.

YOUR DAD is causing all kinds of heartache among poor and frightened mothers who don’t have the luxury of keeping their children with them like you do, if they come to seek refuge and safety here, girlfriend. Way to rub it in, ‘eh? Cute.
