C'mon man, Trump's kangaroo trial in New York is presided over by a judge born in Bogota who couldn't find his own ass with both hands and a flashlight let alone Trump's "other crime"

 

When the Judge Gags Key Witness for Trump's Defense

Byron York, DC Examiner:

 

The fact that we — and that includes the defendant — still don’t know what the other crime is is one of the great injustices of a felony prosecution that never should have happened.

Can you imagine working for Drudge and lifting this particular typo verbatim and reproducing it for a headline?

 C'mon man.

That guy's brain emits artic temperatures.

 

 

 

 

C'mon man, we're supposed to fear a coming Trump dictatorship while Joe Biden threatens to seize drug patents as we speak

 The soft fascism of public-private partnership becomes hard fascism:

“When drug companies won’t sell taxpayer-funded drugs at reasonable prices, we will be prepared to allow other companies to provide those drugs for less,” White House National Economic Advisor Lael Brainard said during a call with reporters Wednesday. 

More.

Hard or soft, this is state capitalism.

C'mon man, the National Weather Service can't decide RIGHT NOW what the weather is, let alone tomorrow, next week, next year, or in ten years

 One man's partly sunny is not another man's mostly cloudy.

I mean, c'mon, she was born in India after all

 

C'mon, man, The Wall Street Journal doesn't really believe "The Left Wins Big in Midwest"

First, Chicago.

Chicago is not the "Midwest".

Chicago remains firmly left-wing under new mayor Let's Go, Brandon Johnson.

It didn't just suddenly turn left this week.

The shit-hole will just get shittier under Johnson, instead of get slightly less shitty under Vallas.

As for Wisconsin, OK, the Wisconsin Supreme Court is now in the hands of four lunatic Democrat wymyn vs. three Republicans. Republican Dan Kelly was indeed resoundingly defeated, but by a nakedly partisan Democrat whose campaign may result in successful calls for her to recuse herself in certain future cases.

Abortion was indeed her campaign issue, but her main objective is rolling back former Governor Scott Walker's anti-government-union efforts.

But Kelly's defeat was a mixture of Republican stupidity combining with Democrat knavery.

Kelly was a Walker appointee, not a winner in his own right. He didn't win his seat in the first place, and he lost it in 2020. MAGA Republicans were STUPID to go with him a second time.

National Republicans: Note Well. Don't be STUPID in 2024 and go with an already defeated candidate.

And don't let Democrats select your candidate. Especially by putting him on trial.

The Wall Street Journal KNOWS Democrats spent $1 million to get the once-defeated Kelly nominated again in the primary instead of Jennifer Dorow, whose son became a political liability which unfortunately canceled her strong conservative record in the minds of enough voters.

Dorow, after all, had put away parade killer Darrell Brooks for life without parole. She is also allied with Chief Justice Clarence Thomas in her skepticism over Lawrence v Texas. But she gone.

Republicans in Missouri once let Democrat Senator Claire McCaskill select their candidate to run against her there. Now Republicans in Wisconsin have made the same stupid mistake and paid the same stupid price.

Meanwhile, Republicans more broadly in Wisconsin still firmly dominate its representation, the only state from Trump's 2016 Upper Midwest WI-MI-PA trifecta to do so.

They own the Assembly 64-35, and now the Senate 22-11. The GOP House delegation in Washington from Wisconsin is 6-2 Republican, the Senate 1-1. 

Wisconsin's GOP is hardly on the ropes, but the Wall Street Journal seems to think a Wisconsin Senate going Republican 21-12 because Mequon could have just as easily narrowly voted Democrat in a special election would have been a catastrophe.

Yes, Republicans nationally would be wise politically to stand for abortion compromise where abortion absolutism would result in defeat as in Michigan, but note that Michigan's Senate and House are still only narrowly Democrat, 20-18 and 56-54. Politics is the art of the possible, but bad candidates like the Dan Kellys and Donald Trumps of the world are no longer possible.

The Wall Street Journal should just say so.

The Midwest is not going left, just anti-Trump because he did not follow through on his promises to the working class, about which The Wall Street Journal cares nothing.

And by the way,  Democrats don't care either.

I hope Ohio's J. D. Vance is paying attention.

 

I mean yeah, c'mon, doesn't the judge know there's a drought going on?

 Judge Accused of Calling Immigrants 'Wetbacks'...

Inflation under Joe Biden means it's back to PB&J for lunch, according to this e-mail ad from my grocery store

C'mon, who advertises peanut butter?

 

Fake Native American says Kevin McCarthy is a liar, and a traitor

 

Warren: "Kevin McCarthy is a liar and a traitor" 

C'mon, man, nobody believes Kevin McCarthy is that competent.

CNN: Wuhan coronavirus cases more like 500k not 50k

https://www.cnn.com/2020/12/29/asia/china-coronavirus-seroprevalence-study-intl-hnk/index.html?utm_medium=social&utm_term=image&utm_source=twCNN&utm_content=2020-12-29T09%3A30%3A05

China has been lying about everything for a long time, like a rug.

Its coronavirus statistics flatlined long ago.

95k cases total to date? Fewer than 5k deaths? C'mon man!

The infection rate quoted in the article implies 260k infections in Hubei apart from the 500k in Wuhan.

At a current global case fatality rate running to 2.18% and 1.75% in the US, you're talking deaths anywhere between 17k and 13k, not 4,777. But honestly, even that is low-balling it. China has 1.4 billion people in it. 17k deaths there compared with 337k in the US? Seriously? 

The biggest joke here isn't China's numbers. It's the people who believe them.

C'mon Mr. Tan Suit Wearah from The Washington Examinah, she's Injun because she asked her mom

And we all know moms never lie or deceive, right?

C'mon, AOC misspoke, she meant Senator Markey, age 73, is the gerontological change we've been waiting for

Chotiner interviews Wax in The New Yorker, but it couldn't possibly be that she was sent to make WASPs look bad just in time for you know what, no, no way

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

C'mon, it's election season, people, and the narrative-building is well underway.

LOL: NYT's Maggie Haberman keeps covering for Obama by NOT mentioning indicted Greg Craig was his White House Counsel in year one

Thread.

Never trust a guy with two first names. Or the NYT.

The Maoist Bob Bauer succeeded Craig. Greg. C'mon, you know who I mean.

ABC's Terry Moran thinks it's finally safe to come out and attack Obama CIA's John Brennan for the partisan hack he truly is

Better late than never, I guess, but c'mon, Moran didn't have the courage to do it years ago when it mattered more.

C'mon Steve, take what you can get, Taibbi's an Elizabeth Warren supporter, you can't have it all

Story in The Atlantic cherry picks data about senior poverty

The Census Bureau's new (since 2011 but fiddled with again in 2013) Supplemental Poverty Measure (SPM) shows senior poverty in slight retreat since 2009, but you wouldn't know that from the story here (you'd have to look at the chart to the left here) which says it's up between 2015 and 2016, which it most certainly is, but hey, c'mon. The fact is, the "official" measure shows that senior poverty has dropped big time since the mid-1960s when the rate was knocking on the door of 30%, stabilizing in recent years in the 8, 9 and 10% range:

The problem is growing as more Baby Boomers reach retirement age—between 8,000 to 10,000 Americans turn 65 every day, according to Kevin Prindiville, the executive director of Justice in Aging, a nonprofit that addresses senior poverty. Older Americans were the only demographic for whom poverty rates increased in a statistically significant way between 2015 and 2016, according to Census Bureau data. While poverty fell among people 18 and under and people 18 to 64 between 2015 and 2016, it rose to 14.5 percent for people over 65, according to the Census Bureau’s Supplemental Poverty Measure, which is considered a more accurate measure of poverty because it takes into account health-care costs and other big expenses. “In the early decades of our work, we were serving communities that had been poor when they were younger,” Prindiville told me. “Increasingly, we’re seeing folks who are becoming poor for the first time in old age.”
