  1. Seitdem ich aufgehört habe, ein #NewsJunkie zu sein und auf wöchentliche Newsformate umgestiegen bin, finde ich den satirischen #Podcast #MaurerUndCik eine tolle Berecherung.

    Die thematisieren #Politik genauso wie manche skurrile Meldungen aus der #Chronik. Und die #KleineZeitung (der Podcast kommt von denen) wird plötzlich dadurch cooler.

    Mir taugt's. 😉

    (Hui, ich empfehle dieser Tage echt viel, fällt mir gerade auf ... 🤔)

  2. I just finished watching Rachel #Maddow's documentary:

    From Russia with Lev

    If you're a #NewsJunkie like me, you'll be amazed how this film ties just about every scandal during the T**** Admin together and how much #Ukraine plays a part.

    Lev Parnas, a #Zelig like character from #Ukraine, manages to get in good with the T**** Campaign by being a high roller mega-donor.

    It play out like a Mob Movie where the rich & powerful mix with the politically powerful. #MustSeeTV

  3. In a rare moment, Fox News’ Bret Baier just praised President Biden & Vice President Harris for their historic work negotiating cheaper pharmaceutical costs for the American people.

    In a stunning admission, one of the most conservative Senators, James Lankford, admits that it was Donald Trump who sabotaged the toughest border security legislation proposed in decades.

  5. Dan Rather: At a campaign stop in North Carolina [...] A decidedly more energetic president told supporters, “I know I’m not a young man [...] I don’t walk as easy as I used to. I don’t speak as smoothly as I used to. I don’t debate as well as I used to. But I know what I do know: I know how to tell the truth. I know right from wrong. And I know how to do this job. I know how to get things done. And I know like millions of Americans know, when you get knocked down you get back up.”

  9. @jonburr I take your point. Don't know if this is an ameliorating data point but:

    "The bombs are part of a weapons package that was approved for Israel years ago, but is only being fulfilled now, according to the NBC report.

    The officials said there were also 25 F35A fighter jets being sent, which were initially approved as part of a larger package in 2008."

    Having said that, I agree 100% that Netanyahu is no better than Trump; meaning they are both lying self-serving SOB pols who don't give a shit about their respective countries and are only trying to steal as much as they can & stay out of jail. IMO, neither have any redeeming qualities.

    I feel terrible about what is happening in Gaza but I am totally/completely/nauseous & horrified by the events of Oct 7th. Such utter cruelty.

    The Palestinians voted for a Hamas administration, Israel helped fund it and now thousands are paying the price while the bad guys just fade into the smoke & mirrors of that part of the world.

    The only hope is that out of this mutual disaste,r both the Palestinians and the Israelis can make a serious attempt a real solution which includes reparations and two states --which Bibi has opposed since forever.

    Peace.

  13. @jonburr Actually, I don't think this is accurate. I'll have to dbl chk but I think the armaments were from an old order which had not been delivered. Having said that, it was probably a good time to deliver. Now, I'm waiting for Congress to stand up, both for Israel and UKRAINE.

  21. @peterbutler Fox ratings are still high even after multi-million$ settlement for lying. And yes, their "bias blunders" have influenced millions. Sadly, just par for the course. Just my $.02

  22. "In 1631, two London printers of the King James Bible released an edition in which the word “not” was accidentally omitted from Exodus 20:14. That created the surprisingly permissive Commandment: “Thou shalt commit adultery.”

    Now, some four centuries later, comes news of a Trump-branded Bible, which if nothing else proves that God has a divine sense of humor." SOURCE WAPO

  25. @wdlindsy I've come to the conclusion that Trump voters cannot be defined by any normal metric. As a whole, they are not stupid or uneducated. Some are well educated, ie Harvard, et al. Some are wealthy, most are probably not. For me, I can only describe them as either being very wealthy or having drunk the Koolaid.
