…so, set ’em up, Joe…!
Am I the only one here who watches Presidential speeches and news conferences these days and gets the feeling he’s just not into it anymore, somehow…?
One more for his baby, and one more for the road…

Remember when Beirut was attacked by suicide bombers last week, and a bunch of people died, and it was all over the media, and there was a global outpouring of condolences and solidarity? Me, neither!

Y’know, I’ve seen mainstream media types pull some pretty lowdown stuff in my day. I’ve heard Chris Matthews telling the antiwar movement it should apologize. I’ve heard Bill O’Reilly call the Black Lives Matter movement “terrorists”. I’ve heard a CNN anchordroid acting disappointed at the absence of violence at the premiere of Straight Outta Compton. But I’ve never seen something as rock-bottom piss-poor as the Hungarian TV camerawoman sticking her leg out to trip a Syrian war refugee trying to flee the Roeszke detention camp.
What’s especially sad about this, though, is that the camerawoman’s behavior pretty much encapsulates the current policies and attitudes of most EU member states.

Looks like “Progressive” America is still yelling for a WAAAAHHHHmbulance after a Bernie Sanders media event was busted up by #BlackLivesMatter. After months of Sanders failing to address the ongoing wave of racist police terrorism, #BLM took it on themselves to bring it up in Seattle — much to the consternation of lily-white “Progressive” America.
Never mind that Sanders — along with the rest of Liberal and “Progressive” America — happily got on board with Bill Clinton’s brutal assault on the Serbian people in the Spring of 1999. Never mind that after Nineleven™, Sanders just as happily voted to fund the assaults on the people of Afghanistan and the liberty and dignity of US citizens by the Department of Homeland Security. Never mind that Sanders has had little problem voting to fund Israeli barbarity in Palestine and the coup government in the Ukraine. Never mind that Sanders lobbied heavily for a slice of war machine pork barrel in Vermont in the form of a USAF F-35 base.
Never mind all that; “Progressive” America honestly still thinks that Sanders can bring this country the kind of revolutionary change it needs, so when somebody comes along — especially black somebodies — to call him out on his hypocrisies, all “Progressive” America seems to care about is that they’re making Bernie look bad. “Why don’t you disrupt Republican events?” they whine, predictably. “Why don’t you disrupt Hillary’s events?” they complain bitterly, crying, shrieking like that Chris Crocker kid in the infamous “Leave Britney Alone” video.
