Keith Olbermann Powerful 20 minutes re Hunter pardon

Listen and argue why you differ or not. I’ve sent this to my network citing its required listening.

Special Edition (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: Some time over Thanksgiving in Nantucket the light bulb went off over Joe Biden’s head and he finally realized that no, the norms and traditions and institutions to which he and most of the rest of us have dedicated our lives did NOT miraculously re-grow, did NOT suddenly spring, fully restored and intact, from the ground.
He saw that not only was his son about to go to prison because of his own foolish decision to not interfere with an enfeebled Department of Justice, and because of the dictator it let get away, who would now aim his DOJ at Hunter Biden - and Joe Biden - and anybody else - for personal revenge. -snip/ much more

Pro Publicia obtained details of 2 deaths in Georgia due to abortion law. And guess what happened?


Georgia Dismissed All Members of Maternal Mortality Committee After ProPublica Obtained Internal Details of Two Deaths

In a letter, the state’s public health commissioner said the action was taken because “confidential information provided to the Maternal Mortality Review Committee was inappropriately shared with outside

Scarborough & company attempting a marketing

end around by extending a fig leaf to the nazi in chief in Mar a lard go.
For those who don’t know, Joe and Mika visited him in Fla this weekend.
Maybe MSNBC corporate thinks the R’s will rush to Morning Joe because of the novelty of such a bow at his feet move.
The thing is, he will cut them off if they dare cover him truthfully or objectively,
Do what do they gain?

There are no set expiration dates for those who mourn. I mourn the state of our country and the loss

Of Kamala Harris, Sherrod Brown and more.
A psychologist I once worked for would say, “pick your duration of mourning and then find a way to move on.”
For example state to yourself I will mourn 2 minutes,( 2 days, 2 weeks, 2 months, 2 years. Any number.) And then I will move on.
For myself, I decided 1 month. By Dec 5 I will move on because I gave myself permission.

Holding on to anger or sadness can become chronic.

Until and when there is a major cable network devoted to the message of the Democratic Party,

in the exact spirit of Fox, we will struggle mightily to get our message out to low information voters. Maybe never agin if we don’t ratchet up messaging.

We need a network, podcasts and social media giants. We need to reach voters where they are and daily inform them in the language of a 6th grader, about what’s what.
Daily. Every day. 24/7

We mainly lost because of messaging. Read the responses to the question AOC posed to voters, and you will find the answer.

Calling billionaires! SOS we need a network. MSNBC will never ever be the answer.

I want to float an idea. Starting February 1, we unite and unify via a weekly common message

on our social media.
EVERYONE OF US.
We all post the exact same message one of which is our unified message.
On your FB page
On your instagram page
On your X page
Or if you have no social media, your email.

These are fictitious examples only. Let me say that the spirit of Michele Obama has moved me to do something. That is why I’m proposing this idea. The DU community is perfect. Just think about just once a week flooding our email and or social media with a coordinated message possibility reaching thousands of people via sharing or forwarding. This is my idea to do an end around right wing messages.

(Example)
The fact of the week.
The average price of eggs last week in the trump administration was $5.25 a doz and gas was $2.97 per gal.
During the Biden Administration, average price of eggs were $5.25 a doz, and gas was $2.88
Why are prices in the trump adminstration not down?

(Example)
The fact of the week.
Federal DOJ employees are now required by the trump administration to sign a pledge loyal to trump.
Federal DOJ employees during the Biden adminstration swore an oath to the Constitution not to a person.
Are you ok with a pledge to a person instead of the constitution?

(Example)
The fact of the week
This week, the trump administration withdrew American support for the Ukrainian's and the US will no longer provide money or weapons. This will allow Putin to advance his war into Poland.
During the Biden Adminstration the US gave money and weapons and rallied our allies to also give money and weapons for the Ukrainian to remain a democracy. This helped Ukraine to fight and resist Putin’s killing of Ukrainians and to advance into Poland.

Each week there will be enough egregious examples of horrible policies to pick from.
All that needs to be done is to keep it short and factual.
Resist from our keyboards. Fight fire with fire.
But let me be clear, this is only affective if it is consistently posted by a huge number of D U members. It does not work without big numbers.

Thoughts welcomed.

Peace
Ninga

"You can lead a horse to water but you can't make um drink."

That’s pretty much it. It’s mindset.

Keith Olbermann lays it out. Is anyone listening?

Does anyone care?
Keith says it’s Russia. Russia gave its stooge the election. You don’t have to like Keith to listen. It is the only thing that makes sense to me. Peace.
