DonCoquixote's JournalEric Idle Is Tired Of Comedy Giants Like Dave Chappelle Crying "Censorship"
https://www.cracked.com/article_36073_eric-idle-is-tired-of-comedy-giants-like-dave-chappelle-crying-censorship.htmlchoice cut from article, but read the whole thing, as it worth it, especially as the right wing trots John Cleese out.
On the topic of censorship, Swisher naturally asked Idle if he had any thoughts on Dave Chappelle’s constant claims that he is being silenced while getting paid $24 million per special to complain about how canceled he is. Said Idle, “Where does he say it? On SNL … Well, you’re not being that much canceled, are you? If you were in your room complaining, I’d have a lot more sympathy.”
if we win Georgia
does this mean we get a TRUE majority, and by that mean one where we can tell Sinema and Manchin to STFU?
It wasn't the 'red wave' pundits predicted, but what's here is still pretty bad
https://www.cltampa.com/news/it-wasnt-the-red-wave-pundits-predicted-but-whats-here-is-still-pretty-bad-14539547I do not mean to diminish joy, but we still have to keep focused and realistic, as this article from Tampa shows. here is a good cut from it.
In any event, Democrats outran the fundamentals and avoided a bloodbath a la 2010 or 1994. Not that they should pop the champagne. They only defeated expectations.
Trump quisling Kevin McCarthy will probably be the next House Speaker, even if he’ll spend two absurdly long years with his balls in the Freedom Caucus’ vice. And Democrats might need a December runoff in Georgia to win the Senate—and if they lose, not only will America suffer the indignity of having to endure Senator Herschel Walker for the next six years, but Mitch McConnell will once again be able to block Biden’s judicial nominees for any or no reason whatsoever.
Just because things could be worse doesn’t mean what’s here is OK.
if we keep the house and senate, the FIRST THING is
start impeaching Thomas and raise the number of Supreme court justices. We must undo the damage Mitch and Trump did.
to the Florida Democratic party
I understand the DU rule about critiquing Democrats.
I understand that was put to prevent real ratfucking hijinks from both the GOP, and the jill Stein/Jackpine Radicals that were using DU to stab at us.
THAT BEING SAID, there is a serious problem with the Florida Democratic party. It is one thing for them to be Centre left, it is another to be so scared of appearing left that you shot yourself in the foot.
Are you honestly going to tell me that the best we could get was Charlie Crist? What sort of Stockholm syndrome do we have where the only person we fell comfortable running is someone whose main job was to destroy us?
I heard people blame our mess on the fact we did not run Gwen Graham instead of Andrew Gillum. Well my friends, for all of Gillum's flaws, he almost won the last race, and put up a lot stronger showing than Crist ever did as a democrat. We went from a race that could have been won, to a race that was blasted.
I am happy we ran Demmings, even though she also did some leftie punching too, but of course, already people are saying we should have run someone more like the Florida Voters, and we all know what that is code for.
As far as Rubio, as a Latinx, let em say this, all my fellow Hispanics who voted because you gate gays, hate blacks, or because you got lucky enough in business' to not have your money stolen (yet) you will reap the whirlwind. I admit the Democrats need to make better outreach, instead of whining about why the Latino vote is nto just a natural given the fact they know the good old boys hate them (and they do hate you mi amigos, and you know it, y tu sabe.) But that does nto mean that Latinos who voted for Rubio are voting for him to kiss Trump's ass, and for high prescription drugs all because he says it will slow down cancer research. Well well Marco, maybe the problem is despite grants, despite charities, drug companies are not interested din anything that doe snto make obscene profits, especially since you made sure they got no competition from Canada.
But let me nto digress. The Florida Democratic party needs to stop acting like Jobbers. The term comes from Pro Wrestling, where the jobber is the person paid to LOSE to the main event. The idea is to look just good enough to LOOK like a sincere opponent, but lose. A lot of Florida Democrats are well paid jobbers. Yes Charlie, I am talking to YOU.
Charlie, you did a bad enough job as a republican governor, stop helping Republicans to get elected governor. And all you cenrtists trying to drga the party to the right, asll you will do is weaken us, because you will allow the GOP to set the agenda.
and that is why I am hoping to get out of this state.
