For all you Joy Reid fans out there...

Tune in now! She is rocking that purple sweatshirt and talking about resistance! The topic is the Musk email, but I think there’s a subtext.

Edit: And she did that lovely group hug with her fellow MSNBC hosts. Then ended by thanking staff and fans. Classy response to a classless dismissal.

Thank you and thank you again for the many 💞!

I like giving out hearts 💕 as well and can’t wait til next year so I can do it again!

Thanks again to all you kind folks who gave me a heart.

A thought about Felon45's deal making.

He’s making a deal in Gaza that doesn’t include the Palestinian people.

He’s making a deal in Ukraine that doesn’t include the Ukrainian people.

He’s made a deal in the USA that doesn’t include the American people.

And oh, is that beachfront property over there? Let’s deal.

The brilliant Andy Borowitz

Today’s offering is “Trump says Musk has found huge fraud in Oval Office” accompanied by a picture of Fatass staring at Musk as he’s pontificating.

Someone else can post this-I have problems with pictures, and you really have to see the picture.

What I wanted to post is from the comments section. Someone made the comparison to Hitler.

Andy replied: Not exactly the same. Hitler waited for his aides to finish high school.

I want to thank all who gave me hearts 💕

The news, personal and political has been so bad lately that the only things that made me smile were rewatching Monty Python and that commercial which has “Heat Wave” as background music.
Your gift of hearts made me smile.

From the New Yorker this morning

ATTACK MODE! A strategy.

One thing Fatass is good at is messaging. Sometimes it sticks (low energy Jeb) sometimes it doesn’t. Sometimes it’s purely lies, sometimes it’s close enough to what might be the truth to be believed.
But he keeps repeating his message over and over, until it sticks in the brain.
Democrats do not do this, at least not well.
Rather than coming up with a set of focus group talking points, Democrats need to attack. With facts.
Too often, Democrats have had four or eight years of progress only to see it trashed by the next administration.
So let’s start pointing out the promises made by the other party and the results of their actions.
Biden was correct about Felon45 being a threat to democracy, but that message was too vague to capture the hearts and what passes for minds of many voters.
Go on the attack. There is plenty of material to work with, even after one week, and there will be plenty more if Felon45 survives four more years.
“Hey, anyone out there have a grandma on insulin? Remember when Democrats negotiated that price down to $35.00? What’s she paying now?” (Shouts -hella lot more) That’s because the other guys rolled back our order to lower the price!”
“How many of you lost someone during the last pandemic?” “Did cutting funding for research help any of you?” “Did the anti-vaxxer in the Health and Human Services Department help you?”
“And what about inflation?” “Did the Trump lower the price for your eggs?” “NO!! Because he won’t fund the NIH! Can he even spell science?”
“Did Trump appoint the best people?” “NO!!” “Let’s have a look at the best people’!” (Show video of various Trump appointees, beginning with Kimberley Guilfoyle screaming for more ouzo, and ending with Pete Hegseth barfing on Trump’s shoes in the Sit Room.)
“Did Trump cut waste, fraud and abuse?” “NO!! He fired the inspectors so no one could see what he was spending!”
Lots of other attacks possible, especially if you use Dr. Phil on ICE raids.

I think we have return to the crowd stirring speeches of another time, coupled with the attack mode that
Republicans introduced during the Newt era and refined until it morphed into Trump spew.
We need someone loud and proud to trumpet the message. And repeat it again and again and again until
It sinks in. Democrats may have the right policies, but negatives work. Attack! But attack with facts.
I have no doubt that there will be examples and pictures of more atrocities that can be used. And will stand up to fact checking (unless it’s a Zuckerberg site).

We should find an attack spokesperson for 2028, ideally one who could start now. Possible that Gavin could do it, although I’m a bigger fan of Mayor Pete especially if running with AOC.

MSNBC just reported that THOM Tillis caved.

The man likes to make noises as though he has some integrity, but when challenged, he shows himself to have the spine of a jellyfish.

If anyone has a spare dollar or two, I urge you to send it to Anderson Clayton, who is heading the NC Democratic Party. The woman is fierce and hard working. Get rid of spineless Senators!

Also just heard on MSNBC, McTurtle voted no on Hegseth.

No link.
Just live TV.

I am watching MSNBC, waiting for Nicole, they are showing Felon45 scribble his name on

More executive orders.
Each one has to be explained to him by a house elf. I know he’s too lazy to read, but really…

Borowitz: Inauguration to be held inside cyber truck

In an eleventh hour decision on Sunday, the inauguration of Donald J Trump has been moved from the Capitol Rotunda to an interior of a Tesla cyber truck.
The change of venue dictated by Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), means that only people with over 100 billion will be able to attend.
“There’s room for me, Zuckerberg, and Bezos, but, unfortunately, not JD Vance,” Musk said. “I usually don’t let employees work remotely, but JD will be allowed to call in.”
The decision to hold the Inauguration inside the electric vehicle pleased Trump, who estimated the number of people inside the truck at 4 million.

Apparently Drumph will make John Robert’s hang off the windshield to administer the oath of office.
