Maddow interview with Ari Emmanuel: wow this guy will justify anything if it will make him a buck. I know, this is not at all shocking.

Donald Trump does not like negative news? So maybe he should do something positive? Lol! I know, no chance.

For some reason, this morning I was thinking about how old I am. So old I remember when Republicans would talk about how character matters. Wow I'm old.

nypost.com/2026/06/02/m... So that bastion of journalistic integrity the NY Post (note my dripping contempt) publishes a clearly slanted piece criticizing Scott Pelley. If any of the 60 Mins staff is saying this, I am sure they are hired by/in the pocket of/brown nosing, Bari.

Scott Pelley has just engaged in what lawyers call a noisy withdrawal and I am here for it.

I reiterate the words to CBS so eloquently stated by the great David Letterman: good night and good luck Mother*******. Setting up the child locks to prevent even accidently seeing a moment of CBS ever again, as we have done with Fox "news". Thanks for the laughs Stephen.

Am I the only person who thinks Chavez day should be changed to Delores Huerta Day?

On the one hand Trump claims he won, I guess all states? But on the other hand, he seeks to punish the states that voted against him. So by his "logic" he is seeking to punish his own voters? I guess?

A Texas man detained by ICE was his disabled son’s sole caregiver. His son will be laid to rest without him | CNN share.google/hkeyg1qc6DT9... Make no mistke: ICE is responsible for this, cruel, death.

Got my covid booster. Suck on that RFK Jr.

We are now in a world where a member of the Fed has to file a lawsuit against a guy, who has no actual authority to fire her, for pretending to fire her.

Just a reminder: WE SAID THIS WOULD HAPPEN. OK now I'm going to go fire someone who does not work for me. That's what we are doing now, right?

Ok so Trump sued WSJ. Here's a conspiracy theory: this was all done so the WSJ could give Trump some money. Just a possibility, not accusing anyone of anything, just a thought to ponder.

Well CBS that sure is some rear end kissing you are doing.

In a world of Strom Thurmonds- be a Corey Booker.

Just tested a theory. Went to The Atlantic subscription page. Can't access. Guessing it is due to volume. Lots of people looking to subscribe to truly patriotic, responsible, professional, journalism. Great thanks to the Atlantic.

I make a habit of looking at the drivers of cyber trucks. I have yet to see a woman driving one. Curious if anyone has seen a woman driving a cyber truck? Real question.

It appears irony is not dead after all.

As everything is depressing, I'm going to read and watch nothing but Puppy Bowl today. Need a break.

Exactly one week ago.

Anyone else wonder if this is what it felt like entering the Dark Ages?

www.nytimes.com/2025/01/16/b... Wow- Ricky Schroeder and Scott Baio must feel dissed.

Well I just deleted Threads. I'm lessening my meta footprint. Can't delete it entirely for various reasons. In any case, hope I like it here and add to the discourse in a positive manner.
