Mehdi Hasan FTW 📣: The Fastest 60 Seconds in Politics!

My apologies to the late great Howard Cosell of MNF.

"Maybe House Democrats, and not me on Cable should be pointing all this out."


You think?

Perhaps they are Mehdi, but the owners of the M$M are certainly not giving much broadcasting time to them.

US Growth Seen Outpacing China’s for First Time Since 1976
ByTom Hancock and Chris Anstey
May 20, 2022, 2:00 AM EDT

Bloomberg Economics sees China slowing to 2% on Covid curbs
Such a growth rate would be weakest since Cultural Revolution

China's per-capita GDP remains well below US, showcasing growth potential
Source: International Monetary Fund World Economic Outlook database April 2022
Note: per-capita GDP in current-dollar terms.

President Joe Biden, who is urging congressional lawmakers to pass a package of legislation aimed at strengthening US competitiveness against China, would be sure to seize on such a relative growth outcome. He has framed his economic agenda in part around demonstrating whether democracies can stand up to Xi’s authoritarian model.

Alito's Overreach will be the Beginning of the End of the Movement Conservative's attempted Coup.

Mark my words.

The summer of 2022 is going to rival 1968's Summer of Discontent.

The Fight to Save Our Democracy is not over, it has just begun - but Alito has handed the Righteous Sane Progressive Majority the ammunition it needs to take to the streets and make itself heard by the M$M.

And just wait until the 1/6 Public Hearings start.

And if Musk DOES get to run Twitter, TFG's comeback there is going to be a disaster for the Racists.

Buckle up and get your popcorn ready, it's going to be one hell of a ride.

God damn fucking Redneck Racist Georgia State Police. Institutional Racism IS Systemic and alive and well and kicking in the USA - once again this proves it.

How long are WE going to allow this to happen? The future is what WE make it - it DOES NOT HAVE TO BE THIS WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm in my 60's and NEVER knew this existed, or it's importance in making Elections free and Fair.

We will have only ONE chance to save Our Democracy and Our Constitution, November 2022.

Let's get to work and GOTV - it is what we on the ground can do to help out. The pols and lawyers will need to do the heavy lifting.
