I can’t even begin to pretend to care about the Donster kicking MSNOW (the artist formerly known as MSNBC) and CNN (aka ZNN) out of the White House. The anchor dollies at MSNOW can’t seem to shut the hell up about how their voices are being stifled and how the First Amendment is being threatened by the denial of access to the Donster’s daily raving’n’drooling press conferences consisting of demented propaganda babbling and not much else, and their inability to dutifully record said raving’n’drooling to parrot back at the addled masses… or, as it’s known in the USA, “journalism”.

Yeah, y’sure heard that right; the people who gave us Kuwaiti Incubator Babies, Iraqi WMDs, Iraqi Yellow Cake Uranium, the Uyghur Muslims and Russiagate – and have spent the last three years beating down public dissent against the Gaza genocide – are screaming and yelling about free speech ‘cos they can’t get a spot at the Donster’s White House media circle-jerk. You’ll pardon my giving sub-zero fucks about any of those kiss-asses.

On top of this CNN Town Hall shartage, my regular “Random 15” from MSNBC included Kay-Kay speaking at a rally where she makes the big buildup to the working class, only to cap it with a declaration that she will ban price gouging on groceries…

all in that classic delivery of hers, that sounds as if she studied public speaking under Hillary Clinton, like a foreign actress who had to learn her lines phonetically. Dear GOD, just listen to that scolding junior-high principal voice, so full of passion and conviction when she talks about goddamn CHEAP GROCERIES. …and the crowd’s going wild for that shit; just listen to ’em, as if cued by an electric sign, like a game-show audience.

This, apparently, is going to be her signature achievement if she wins the “election”, if her hands aren’t too full with the goddamn GENOCIDE. Yeah… not a Great Society, or voting rights, or going to the Moon… nahh, just cheap groceries.

Dear US Left:
With all due respect — I really do love ya, we’ve worked together and hit the barricades and been ride-or-die n’all that, but — you’ve just gotta stop this shit right now, y’all, ‘cos it’s the biggest waste of time ever at this point. Seriously, for myself and all of our comrades, I’m here to tell you, you just gotta STOP IT, brah.

Stop asking us to VOTE.

Stop asking us to play in a crooked rigged casino, to participate in a phony “democracy” and vote in a useless “election” in which the candidates and platforms are already decided by the Party and the permissible issues and voices already decided by the media. Stop asking us to drag ourselves off to participate in an empty ritual in an empty institution which has achieved absolute zero.

Stop insulting our intelligence by asking us to participate in the “democracy” of a nation in which the State, the Party and Establishment institutions have at long last finally, thoroughly, utterly and completely alienated us and then relentlessly implores us to participate in their useless, capitalist media-controlled “democratic” institutions. After doing their level best to beat down and silence the dissent and outrage of billions across the nation and the Earth, they’ve got the spectacular gall to try to shame, frighten, and browbeat us into slinking back to their polls for “abortion rights” — for affluent, professional-class American women, of course; not the reproductive rights of working-class and poor women, nor immigrant women, nor Afghan or Iraqi women, and for goddamn sure not the reproductive rights of PALESTINIAN women…

Man, it sure has been a helluva week for Fauxcohantas, huh? The Politico hit-piece smears on Sanders that blew up in her face, the roasting that she and CNN are getting for the treatment they gave Sanders at the Democratic Debate, the wave of requests for donation refunds so big it choked the servers at ActBlue… Fauxcohantas is going down like the Hindenburg, and I can’t pretend I’m not enjoying it.
