Just when I was lamenting - again - that the narcissistic sociopath that somehow ended up leading this country - again - was wreaking his havoc on the entire world… THIS happened:
We are still getting used to using Substack as our video platform. Some of its functions are really robust - but a little glitchy. We’ve had instances in the past where one of us was frozen or could not even get onto the platform (this is why we changed the time for our weekly live chat when we realized that at 6 PM Eastern time, we were competing for resources with huge publishers, like Joy Reid and Jim Acosta).
When Karoli or Aliza have frozen, they exited and re-entered and were able to continue, and Karoli urged me to try that. But as video host, the only option to exit that I could see on my screen was to hit the “End” button - which would have ended the video entirely. And we had live viewers!
So I stayed on, and listened to my brilliant partners finish the video and honestly - this is why it is important to find yourself some smart people to work with. I still participated via the chatroom function (which I don’t usually get to use much because I’m so busy yakking).
We talked about the war. We talked about Trump’s unfitness for office (the war will be over when he feels it in his bones???). We talked about the MAGA split over the war, and counterterrorism chief Joe Kent’s resignation.
There was a lot of activity in the Senate yesterday, and we had quite a bit to say about Rand Paul’s face-off with DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin. During a hearing on Worldwide Threats, Tulsi Gabbard said it’s not her job to analyze the intelligence for the president (she is the Director of National Intelligence and that is exactly what her job is supposed to be!)
We talked about TPUSA is getting decommissioned by the College Republicans and why.
And of course, we talked about the SAVE Act, which is the Trumpists’ “Great White Hope” for suppressing enough of the vote to stave off a big blue tsunami in November.
