I love Maya Angelou--and this poem, Fern, but I have been thinking a lot more about Nina Simone's "Mississippi Goddamn!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJ25-U3jNWM
Ted, this capsulizes today's turmoil. Looking at most of the mainstream press makes me feel that they're all looking at a different world that the one in which I live. We've had enough tragedy, and now the blame is all being heaped on President Biden. Surely, they know better.
I agree, and the mainstream, with few exceptions, is as bad as Fox. I saw a clip of Seth Moulton on MSNBC, one of the two that arrived in Kabul unannounced, and, while he wasn't trashing Biden, it's clear that he's trying to boost his political capital. Jerk.
I believe journalist are not falling for it wholesale. Their are those though, that, following the Rethug-Lican demagoguery as a way to get headlines to advance their careers are taking advantage of peopleтАЩs National pride and emotions.
She really reestablished the credibility of the press Sec. her future is so bright. To me Jen Psaki represents integrity, good character, professional, testament to the kind of young people our country still produces. And IтАЩd really like my son to marry a woman like her.
The contrast to Kayleigh McEnany is so stark, yet that harpy is still spouting her nonsensical bile. That she has an audience at all speaks to the mess this country is in.
Yup, The world V CA Hampton chess. Player, Gary Kasporov has said, тАЬ no one frim the Tr$$mp administration will go on accomplish anything of significance after.тАЭ I thought that was insightful in 2016 and noted it.
He was correct, if we're talking about positive significance. However, he (and they) have accomplished a boatload of negative, damaging significance, and we're all suffering from that.
It's so frustrating, though, that so many mainstream press sites are piling on Biden. I expect no less from Fox, but the fact that McMaster and others are being afford so much oxygen is despicable. Today's MSN news is dominated totally by Fox and similar drivel, and of course, there is the ubiquitous Kevin McCarthy and the Rethugs' calls for Tony Blinken's impeachment and enacting the 25th Amendment against Biden.
Nina Simone Furiosa! Perfect, Linda, just the right SPIRIT. Nina came to me before Maya. She drew me to her when I guessI wasn't too young to understand. Thank you.

My country is full of lies,
We all gonna die like flies.
I don't trust anybody anymore.
They keep sayin' go slow.
That's just the trouble,
desegregation
mass participation
unification.
Do things gradually,
Will only bring more tragedy.
Why don't you see it?
Why don't you feel it?
I don't know?"
Lets listen to Nina Simone, end the filibuster and get on with it.

They know better, they're just playing politics. It's all a game to them, and they want to collect all the marbles. It's disgusting.

Besides Jen PsakiтАЩs on task, and sheтАЩs brilliant!
I love her. She takes no prisoners, but isn't snarky. It's too bad that she isn't planning to stay in her position, though.
