Just a small, personal observation

Seeing as how I’m mostly stuck at home these days, I have the teevee machine on for company. When Animal Planet isn’t showing wildlife programs, it’s set to C-span or PBS or MSNBC. Today it was the latter, and something interesting is happening.

Nicolle Wallace now has Chuck Todd’s former time slot, and she’s been relentless in cutting the administration no slack. Then, instead of the usual one hour show, Joy Reid was on for two hours; if you can find a video of her interview with Malcolm Nance, watch it, it is spectacular. Now, Rachel Maddow is into her second hour, and she’s going hot hot HOT.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but there’s a certain satisfaction that it is these ladies of the fourth estate who are taking our misogynist racist POTUS to the fire and holding his feet, and his ass, to it. He will no doubt view that as nasty salt in the wound. We know better, and can rightly applaud with a loud and sustained BRAVA!

Asked if tRump is a Russian Agent.

IMO she is wrong, he is Russian Asset not an Agent. Too damn dump to actually be an agent.

Neither minced words, and both darn near cried...I did cry! When senator Duckworth started talking about how her brave comrades carried her to a chopper thinking she was dead. My heart was pounding!!!

So brave..Nicolle said she uses the senator and her words posted on her daughters bedroom walls to show them what a bad ass strong woman is like!!

It's Saturday arvo and I'm catching all the great women & men on Friday's MSNBC.

It took a little while, but I realised that Rachel's second hour comprised repeats of her interviews for the last few days.

Keep well,

Susan Calvin

How the media came so late in calling this lying liar out. But they're doing it now and I hope it is not too late.

another victim of the virus. Damn! The father died but he called his 5 year old daughter to tell her he would be in the sky and that whenever she looked at it he would be there. I’m crying now just writing about it!
