Ron DeSantis is disgusting and he always does look like he's taking a dump -- resting dump face.
Bonnie asked if I could note a new video that she loves. It's Tyler Rich's "I Know You Do."
That's a nice song, Bonnie. Thanks for e-mailing about it. I love Chase Rice but he's really the only country artist that I seek out so I would've completely missed the song if you hadn't e-mailed.
While noting songs, I have another I have to note. My daughter's in love with "Sugar Sweet" by Benson Boone.
"I bet you think you're honey tastes like sugar/ Honey, sugar don't taste that bitter/ Baby, you ain't sweet/ Look at what you did to me" -- I think I know every word in that song because my daughter can't stop singing it. :D
Tuesday, March 7, 2023. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin III sneaks
into Iraq, Glenneth Greenwald loves pretending he knows something but
the crazies praising Donald Trump's coded speech apparently haven't let
him on their own separation from reality, and much more.
Let's start with Lloyd Austin III, the US Secretary of Defense. He's gone to Baghdad. Colin McCullough (CNN) reports, "Austin, the highest-ranking Cabinet official to visit the country since the start of the Biden
administration, according to the press pool, said in a statement that
he is in Iraq to 'reaffirm the US-Iraq strategic partnership as we move
toward a more secure, stable and sovereign Iraq'." Idrees Ali and Amina Ismail (REUTERS) note,
he visited with Prime Minister Moahmmed al-Sudani and that the the
secretary declared, "U.S. forces are ready to remain in Iraq at the
invitation of the
government of Iraq." Chenar Chalak (RUDAW) adds, "The United States’ only purpose in Iraq is its focus on ensuring the
defeat of the Islamic State (ISIS), said Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin
following his arrival in the capital Baghdad on Tuesday, as the 20th
anniversary of the US invasion of Iraq approaches."
Lloyd announced the visit on Twitter.
He announced it after he landed. In fact "unannounced visit" is a detail pretty much all the reports include.
What a glorious moment for a coward.
We've
covered Iraq for years now. It's the "unannounced" that's the story
this morning. A day or two less than two weeks from the 20th
anniversary from the start of the Iraq War, not only are US troops still
on the ground in Iraq -- with Lloyd insisting they're going to remain
there -- but US officials still have to sneak into the country.
If
you don't get the reality of the war and what the Iraqi people think of
the US, there it is. US officials have to sneak into the country.
Glorious cowards all of them.
The US Ambassador to Iraq Tweets the following nonsense:
Not
only had Lloyd been in the country for hours -- with the secretary
having posted it on his own Twitter feed over four hours prior -- but
he's also meeting with Nechirvan Barzani. When Alina leaves that out
of her Tweets it does register and it has. The US has an ambassador
currently who is being seen as anti-Kurd. That really doesn't happen
for US ambassadors but it's happening with Alina and it's not due to
those ugly circles under her eyes -- take some vitamin D -- it's
happening because nearly every time she Tweets, she shortchanges the
Kurds. It's becoming a very big issue.
There's
another issue in the Tweets about the visit -- not her Tweets -- that
we'll probably deal with tomorrow. I'm just not in the mood to go into
it today.
We'll note that Iran's TASNIM is reporting of the visit:
The Fatah (Conquest) Alliance in Iraq's
parliament emphasized the need for expelling all American troops during
an unannounced visit by Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin to Baghdad on
Tuesday.
Fatah
Alliance lawmaker Karim Aliwi said that the issue of expelling US
troops is not a factional decision but rather a "definitive" and
"national option." He added that efforts are ongoing at both public and
political levels to conclude the case of US forces' presence on Iraqi
soil. "There will be no negligence or hesitation in expelling the
Americans," Aliwi told Iraq's al-Maluma news agency.
Let's
move over to the great Glenneth Greenwald. He's laughing at Don Lemon
because Don's a sexist (as though Glenn's not?), he's such an idiot.
(That's not a defense of Don Lemon, CNN needs to realize he's harming
their ratings.) Glenneth also goes after an art critic because the
critic has reached their saturation level with Republicans calling for
lynchings and the "eradication" of transpersons. It really is more than
enough for this country -- unless you're Glenneth who, of course, chose
not to live in this country. Glenneth says a journalist can't do what
the critic is doing -- removing all Republicans from his life.
Actually, an art critic can do just that, Glenneth, you're just yet
again sporting your stupidity. There's not a movement led by
Republicans or conservatives in the art world.
But we mention that to lead up to this nonsense from Glenneth.
Does Glenneth have any idea?
No, I don't think he does.
"He
had his head chopped off and opened up for some reason or something
like that. It is really disturbing what is going on there."
What's that about?
That's
a QAnon loony tune show on BITCHUTE called JUSTINFORMED TALK -- a
religious extremist program apparently and, for the record, I don't
think Jesus needs you to dress like Patty Hearst in her Tania phase.
But, hey, you do you and we'll all pretend it's not a form of drag --
even though it is.
When JUSTINFORMED TALK (that
is how they run it together) speaks of "He had his head chopped off
and opened up for some reason or something like that. It is really
disturbing what is going on there," he's speaking of Joe Biden. Is the
host a con artist or is that ill in the head that he honestly believes
Joe Biden had his head chopped off?
Glenneth
wants you to know that he knows why Donald Trump got the reception he
received over the weekend at that hate-bash. But really it's because
Donald spoke in dog whistles that the other crazies picked up on. And
JUSTINFORMED TALK wants to decode it for you so you know that "DeSantis
is as deep state as it gets."
If Glenneth truly
knows about why Donald got embraced by the crazies, please, write about
it. Because I don't need to watch crazy ass QAnon garbage. I'd been
lucky enough to avoid it until this morning. Someone e-mailed asking if
I'd seen how crazy these people really were? I had no idea.
I
thought they had a different take on things than I did. But I didn't
know they believed that whatever walks around calling itself Joe Biden
is a thing that had its head chopped off -- and yet still walks around.
Deep state? Try deep s**t crazy.
JUSTINFORMED
TALK wants you to know that Donald is sending out "key information out
to everyone" -- you just use your decoder ring, apparently.
"I
think Q is great, I think Q is necessary." I think we do need to know
about these crazies. I think the more we know about them, the more the
majority of the American people will reject these crazies.
"They
want us divided!" says the crazy host of JUSTINFORMED TALK. We heard
that garbage from RAGE AGAINST THE WAR MACHINE, remember?
And that group hosted transphobes.
And the people like JUSTINFORMED TALK insist that others "wants us divided."
But these crazies get together and there they are dividing -- calling for the "eradication" of transgender persons.
They
are deep in their own crazy and rooting on Steve Bannon's speech
instead of fact checking it. The KGB isn't even around anymore. Does
no one grasp that was the intelligence apparatus for the Soviet Union?
How stupid are these people?
Watch DEMOCRACY NOW! below for the reality of that hate-fest.
