Iraq snapshot

Tuesday, November 12, 2024. Hiding behind his late life marriage and late life fatherhood Seth Moulton wants to kick others down, Trump's usurping the Senate, Black women are still being shut out of the conversation, and much more.

Let's start with big 'manly' Seth Moulton, a member of the US House of Representative and a long term contestant in WHAT'S MY SEXUALITY? Some argue he settled that question in 2017 when, at the age of 38, he finally found a woman to marry. But most of us said at the time, "Well he is planning to run for president in 2020." And he did. No one wanted him, but he did run.

He launched his attack on trans people last week. That could provide cover for his being gay -- if he was. At least for some people who don't grasp that he could be -- he certainly acts like one -- one of those big puffy chest conservative gay men who insult and trash trans men and women. Here's what Seth said and I'll respond every sentence or so.

I mean, here we are accusing Republicans of being weird and we're the ones who are suddenly requiring people to put pronouns in their email signatures

What's weird about that? It's perfectly normal and even more so if your name is Taylor or Drew or Bailey or Morgan or Alex or . . . Get the point, stupid? Even someone as stupid as you has to grasp that a man named Alex Smith doesn't want to be called "Ms Smith." Even you, you overgrown fat ass, has to grasp that, right.

As for "requiring"? There's no law. Which means it would be the company you work for making the requirement. Companies making requirements of their employees!!!!! OH my goodness, whoever heard of that happening.

I mean, that's kind of weird, to be honest. You know, we went through the whole gay rights movement.

Did you now? Do tell? And where did you lose your Pride virginity, big boy? I don't know about the rest of America but I guess I picture Seth on his knees, in a men's room, working the glory hole.

We went through the whole Civil Rights Movement. We never had to say "Seth Moulton: Straight" or Seth Moulton: "White."

Seth, I would be greatly surprised -- as someone who's met you and spoken with you -- if you ever, once in your life, introduced yourself as "Seth Moulton: Straight." But if you do, I pray that you will record it on your phone and then post it online because I could really use a good laugh.

You didn't go through the Civil Rights Movement, it's before your time. But actually, there were people passing and they did tend to get called out. You wouldn't know that because you're Big Stupid -- that's what the men who served with you called you, "Big Stupid." They called you other names too but let me bite my tongue.

And all of a sudden, we have to change all our values to meet the needs or demands of one very small minority group.

Saying he or she or they makes you change all your values? What values are those? Your refusal to adapt to growing society don't speak well for your post-marriage scenes. Maybe they'll forgive you if you do pig play?

So I think we just have to be able to have a real discussion about this.

The nation's been having that conversation for years now. Where were you? At the bathhouse?

Or maybe you were in hiding, trying to avoid questions about how you, the successful businessman, actually ran Eastern Healthcare Partners into the ground.

Hey, you know what, let's talk about that? Yeah, why don't you finally answer to that? Oh, rushing off already. Well give him my love, tell him I say "Hi!"

WIKIPEDIA notes:

Following Kamala Harris's loss in the presidential election, he expressed opposition to transgender participation in girls' sports, saying that he does not want his daughters "getting run over on a playing field by a male or formerly male athlete."^[87] Following his remarks, his campaign manager resigned in protest, his comments were condemned by Salem mayor Dominick Pangallo and he faced protest from constituents.^[88] In an MSNBC interview, he refused to apologize and claimed the backlash "[proved] his point".^[89]

Got to work those two daughters in -- but no gay panic, you understand. I've made this point before -- many times -- but I'll make it again. People like Seth don't appear bothered by transgender athletes. They're bothered by male to female trans kids. When a female to male trans kid plays sports -- which is honestly what I've always seen much more of -- these same people like Seth don't give a damn and don't care about it. But aren't they fixed on 'protecting' girls (cis girls) -- Seth's kind of like Donald Trump, he's going to protect them whether they want it or not.

Speaking of whether they want it or not . . . Maureen Dowd's always struggled as a columnist. Always. Facts are hard for MoDo. She's now signed off with Seth in her latest column so it's a good time to point out that the 72-year-old needs to be put out to pasture. That should apply to many columnists getting paid for a job that someone younger could be doing. But it especially applies to Maureen who's always tried to fudge the facts by falling back on pop culture references. At 72, she's really outlived that and it's time for some new blood. 72? What am I saying, she's 73 in January. Get her a gold watch and show her where the exit door is.

She's got a massive ego on her, Dowd, and she thought aligning herself with Sue Mengers was the way to go as the '00s wound down. It only made it clear to those of us in the entertainment community that Dowd was dead. She's had no real importance or traction since then. Nor could she. She is, in fact, as dead as any film on Sue. Remember that? Sue was going to have a big comeback. So sorry. Sue's racism was popular in the seventies but those of us who weren't racist ensured that she never had a comeback -- not in the 80s or the 90s or the '00s when Maureen (and Tina Fey) tried to adopt her. Yes, Bette Midler did star in that play. And, yes, the lie was that the play was a hit -- or some tried to pretend it was a hit.

It was a one act play with only one character so I'm sure it broke even. But hit plays? They don't run less than three months. Bette also starred in HELLO DOLLY which was a hit -- 550 performances.

Every now and then another actress gets attached to an 'upcoming' film about Mengers. But, again, she was a racist and the project tends to hit a wall when that reality pops up. For example? Diana Ross was her client. Diana was dating Ryan O'Neal -- another Sue client. And one film after another that Diana was supposed to be the lead in would get recast with a White actress. Black people learned early on that the ultimate star f**ker Sue Mengers would f**k them over. But I am so very glad that Tina Fey (does 30 ROCK exist without all that racist humor -- excuse me, 'post racist' racist humor?) and Maureen Dowd were able to sit besides Sue Mengers on her throne. My only question? Did Sue provide them with white sheets to wear or did they bring their own?

Need another tidbit? Sue spent decades whining that her 'best friend' Barbra Streisand left her and how that destroyed her and upset her. Barbra had already heard Sue trash everyone else (trash them to Barbra). Some might have been tickled. A) Barbra's not big on gossip and B) when speaking with her manager, Barbra expected the focus to be on her career. But Barbra began to wonder did Sue trash her to Candy Bergen or Ali MacGraw or any of the others that Sue always trashed to Barbra. Barbra decided to trust her with a big secret (that was made up) to see if it got out. It did. Barbra had her answer and fired Sue. And then Sue began whining. I believe this part is in Barbra's book -- the part I'm about to note -- it was in an early version so my apologies if it didn't make it into the book. Barbra told Sue they could be friends and Sue screamed that why would she be friends with Barbra if Barbra wouldn't stay on as her client? So Sue's drama over Barbra leaving was always one big lie -- just like everything else about Sue. Except her feet. Her feet did stink and she ruined many a party by kicking her shoes off.

Donald Trump is the Sue Mengers of the federal government. He's already destroying himself before he gets sworn in. Last time it was the CIA. This time it's Republicans in the US Senate.

From ALL ABOUT EVE -- Bette Davis played Margo, Thelma Reed played Birdie. It's after a performance and Margo's assistant Eve (Anne Baxter) has picked up the costume and headed off from the dressing room.

Birdie: May I be so bold as to say something? Have you ever heard of the word "union"?

Margo: Behind in your dues? How much?

Birdie: I haven't got a union. I'm slave labor.

Margo: Well?

Birdie: But the wardrobe women have got one and, next to a tenor, a wardrobe woman is the touchiest thing in show business.

Margo: Oh, oh.

Birdie: She's got two things to do: carry clothes and press 'em wrong. And don't let anybody try to muscle in.

You know what's touchier than a wardrobe woman? A sitting US senator.

Ellie Quinlan Houghtaling (THE NEW REPUBLIC) explains:

After 17 years in the hot seat, McConnell is expected to exit his post at the top of Senate Republican leadership on Wednesday, ending his run as the longest serving Senate party leader in U.S. history.

At the top of the billing to replace the 82-year-old are South Dakota Senator John Thune and Texas Senator John Cornyn, two establishment conservatives and longtime McConnell allies who have not always seen eye to eye with the president-elect.

Meanwhile, a gamut of Trump’s key allies, including Elon Musk, Tucker Carlson, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Vivek Ramaswamy, and Charlie Kirk, are aggressively lobbying for Florida Senator Rick Scott to take the helm. (Trump, notably, has so far avoided endorsing any of the contenders.) But the overzealous pressure campaign—which is also being pushed along by some far-right social media influencers and their harassment tactics—is on the verge of combusting, according to Politico.

That’s because most of the Senate Republican conference won’t have to face reelection until 2028 or later. On top of that, the vote is by secret ballot, ensuring that no one—from their constituents to MAGA’s top brass—will know if they voted for or against Trump’s candidate.

“Senators do not take kindly to having an army of social media trolls attack them,” one unnamed aide told Politico on Sunday, noting that the effort was only “pissing off senators whose votes Rick needs” to win.

And sitting US senators do not take kindly to anyone outside the Senate -- that includes a president -- attempting to tell them what to do. Now pair that with Kaia Hubbard (CBS NEWS) reporting:

As Senate Republicans prepare to vote Wednesday on new leadership for the upcoming Congress, President-elect Donald Trump is already weighing in with demands for the new majority leader regarding his Cabinet.

After a decisive victory in the 2024 elections, Trump is returning to the White House with a GOP-led Senate at his side. Senate Republican leaders are expected to ease the way for the president-elect's agenda and his Cabinet and judicial nominees. Trump has made it clear that he'd like his nominees to be installed immediately, suggesting that he may want the option to bypass the Senate's advice and consent role entirely.

Please note, that would be the Constitutionally assigned role of advice and consent. For the ignorant -- like Donald Trump -- let's not the Constitution:

Article II, Section 2, Clause 2:

He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments.

When the most recent US senators were sworn in back in January of 2023 -- two years ago -- the median age was 65.3 years.

Wait. We have MAGA drive bys and you know they were homeschooled so let me explain median. Think of it as the midpoint. So half the US Senate, in 2023, was composed of senators under the age of 65.3 and half was composed of senators over the age of 65.3 -- 65.3 is the mid point.

And US senators are very territorial. And that's before you get to over half being over 65. So he wants to bypass them on advice and consent and he wants to be able to determine who will be the next Majority Leader -- something the Senate traditionally does all by itself.

Pushy and stupid, that's Donald Trump.

A Senate campaign? That's much more difficult than a House campaign (except in Alaska which has two senators and one member of the House of Representatives). They work very hard in those runs -- or at least hard for them -- and it being the upper house and it being a six year term, they tend to think they know better than others -- and that's before you factor in the issue of incumbency.

US senators do not like to be pushed around or talked to like their children. But there goes the idiot Trump antagonizing the Senate -- Republicans and Democrats -- before he even gets into the White House.

Where's the popcorn, right?

I went to COMMON DREAMS before I started dictating this snapshot and had a good, long laugh. Independent 'left' media trashed Kamala Harris day after day -- depressing and suppressing the vote. Month after month after month. COMMON DREAMS was one of those and they were the only one that we publicly called out who took a look at it and changed course.

That's the only reason I look at COMMON DREAMS now. I will note something from them if I think it helps this community. Others, I'm done with. But I do actively seek out stuff to note from COMMON DREAMS.

So I go there this morning and I can't stop laughing.

Where's the Jill Stein coverage? Remember Jill was so damn important and independent media had to pimp her like crazy.

There's not one story about the 'hero' Jill Stein today.

Headline after headline of panic. Joe needs to do this or that before he leaves office! This needs to happen! 57 groups call on the White House! Over and over.

I applaud you for taking a look at your coverage before the campaign concluded; however, don't you get now why you should have dropped that s**t?

We didn't need Norman Solomon sharing how he was voting for Jill Stein, did we?

No, we didn't.

If you could go back in time now, do you really think you would still publish those multiple attacks on Kamala Harris that COMMON DREAMS had each day?

This was a serious election. Much was at stake.

But they didn't care. THE NATION, THE PROGRESSIVE, IN THESE TIMES, DEMOCRACY NOW!, etc. They saw their purpose in ripping apart Kamala every day.

And now they're all shocked by what Trump's going to do.

You should have been paying attention in real time. You should have been focused on your own damn country. Your neighbor needs the lawn mowed? Fine. Take care of your own yard and then you can go help. But you take care of your own yard first.

I saw the COMMON DREAMS story about student's protesting Trump already. I had to wonder? How much force will greet their actions when Trump's sworn in?

I have to wonder all the lying Gaza Freak whores who misled young people on what was possible and who directed all the anger at Joe Biden and Kamala Harris -- not at the ICC, not at the United Nations, not at this, not at that -- are going to feel as immigrants are deported. As this country crumbles, I have to wonder.

Today, we look back at Nazi Germany and wonder how? How did it happen?

Our own Hitler happened because Katrina vanden Heuvel, Amy Goodman and others worked overtime to attack the only possible alternative to Donald Trump and to attack her day after day, every day in the three month lead up to the election.

That's why we're here now.

If the official figures are correct, we didn't turn out. Not just in enough numbers, we didn't turn out in the numbers we did in 2020.

We were discouraged from voting and that's the message beggar media put out -- remember that when they ask you to donate next. They have destroyed our country. There are people waking up in fear every day now.

And we don't need to hear Seth -- in the midst of his homosexual panic -- trashing transgender people -- voters who overwhelmingly showed up and voted for Kamala.

We don't need it.

Let me note again, that there are all these roundtables taking place -- THE DAILY BEAST just posted one with Samantha Bee as a co-host.

How stupid are they? How stupid do they think we are?

Black women were shut out during the campaign by the media and that's still the case when the so-called experts want to talk about what happened and what we do next.

Black women? Vote for Democrats. We won't give you a say, we won't listen to you. And when one of you runs for office, we won't call out DEMOCRACY NOW! or any other left platform that trashes the Black candidate every day. We'll look the other way.

That's what it says.

Iraq snapshot

Monday, November 11, 2024. He didn't endorse Kamala, he didn't vote for her but he thinks he can now go on MSNBC and make demands from Democrats? Oh, hell no.

We don't link to trash so forget the garbage interview that Ayman Mohyeldin did with the Mayor of Homophobia Abullah Hammoud. Abdullah -- who wants to be something more than a mayor but, sadly, never will be.

MSNBC, we don't need to hear from Abdullah and we don't want to hear from him. If he's got time to jaw bone, he's got time to address his city's homophobia.

Idiot Ayman tries to put force together contrary facts and pretend that they fit. They don't. Nor do you.

Please note, Black women, that MSNBC can't bring you on for a serious panel about racism -- in the media coverage of the election, in the campaign that Trump ran or anything. But the mayor of a city that has gone homophobic under his watch is someone to celebrate.

We'll he's a man, isn't he. And in the end, isn't that always the most defining qualification for the All Things Media Big and Small when they're inviting guests on.

And I don't want to hear a damn thing about what the US needs to do with regards to Gaza.

Anyone who wanted the Democratic Party to address Gaza? They should have voted for the Democrats.

Instead, a nation of idiots voted against their own interest and have given control to the Republicans.

So go beg Donald. Go beg him. He's your president and he's the one you wanted. So get on your knees, crawl like the dogs you have made yourselves into by refusing to vote for the alternative go Donald and beg.

No, no, no. You don't get to come to the Democratic Party now. Not after you tanked the Democratic Party's chances to be in the White House.

Was it too much for your macho fundamentalist Muslim beliefs to have a woman in the White House?

I don't know. And at this point I don't care.

Here's what I had planned to do today. Note Gaza. We were going to seriously address the ongoing genocide. And then I get all telling me about that interview. And how the host and the guest want to make demands on the Democratic Party. After failing to turn out votes?

Ayman, you're going to have a seriously interesting day because you pissed off above me and your boss' boss will be hearing about your stunt.

As for the mayor?

How dare you make demands on a party you just stabbed in the back.

You know, I can make the case for the Israeli government. I can do that. Whether debate or moot court, I had to make a lot of arguments I didn't believe in. So I could make the case for the Israeli government and you piss me off enough? I will do it. And it will further crater support for Gaza.

So stop you're lying. Just stop lying. Stop your demands of what 'we' have to do. What we, in America, had to do was save our country.

You didn't give a s**t about that, Abdullah Hammoud. No, your last interview had to talking the importance of Palestinians and then the importance that you serve your city.

No where in there .-- and I hope your opponent will make much of this in your next race -- did you ever talk about anything you owed your country or the people in it.

So just take your single-issue on home because no one's buying your lies except the idiots you already had on the hook.

Again, the plan was to address Gaza. Many more pieces of s**t like Abdullah showing up in the media telling us what to do? I'll bury them and their argument

Grasp that we, Democrats, wanted Abdullah and others to vote for Kamala. They didn't want to do that. We wanted it to save our country. They didn't care.

But now, not even seven days after the election, Abdullah thinks he can go on television and make demands about what Democrats should do.

F**k you. Truly. Servant of god Abdullah (that's what the name means), you weren't serving anyone when you helped elect Donald Trump. You weren't using your head either. But you picked a butcher to put into the White House. So go beg your butcher, your man. And see how it works out because, I don't think it's going to.

Then take your ass home back to other rejects and bathe in the blood of the dead that your actions are responsible for.

People in Dearborn feel betrayed? The country was betrayed by Dearborn. Nobody needs to hear from you. Kamala promised to be a leader for everyone, I didn't.

"My only family -- sob sob sob -- unsubscribed from me." Good. Everyone should. You're trash.

As Brett Meiselas points out after going over the various Trump voting expressing regrets now, you can't vote against human rights and expect that your family -- impacted by your vote -- won't respond.

"They sold out their family for a carton of eggs," Tennessee Brando points out below.

And that is correct.

Let's stay with social media for a moment.

Some of us gave money to Trump, some of us on the left. That's me. I'm not pointing at others and acting like I didn't do the same thing.

How did we give money to Trump?

By using Twitter. By enriching Elon Musk in any way or manner.

On Friday, in the post-mortem (the first of three, actually) with other big donors we began the discussion on what worked and what didn't. And Twitter came up.

Elon Musk is not our friend. Do I need to do screen grabs from Twitter of the various MAGA trash using the N-word and putting up photos of Black men on their knees in front of White men?

Those pictures by the way? It's porn. It's from pornography. And it's from gay pornography. Got it. They pretend they're straight but they clearly consumer a lot of 'raceplay' pornography.

Ted Cruz was never concerned about that, was he? He's not limiting porn on Twitter -- because I said photos, let me clear that some aren't photos, some are videos.

This is what Twitter does. It promotes hate. And it enriches Elon Musk.

And it defeats us. As a people, it defeats us.

View on Threads

That's THREADS. No, Zuckerberg is not a saint.

But we're not idiots in Dearborn, are we? No, we're able to look at two things and see the one is awful. We did that when choosing between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. By the same token, we can look at Zuckerberg and Musk and clearly conclude that Elon Musk is a threat to democracy and we don't need to be giving him our money or time.

I'm not asking for a big lift here.

A big lift? That would be asking people to give up AMAZON due to Jeff Bezos actions.

This isn't a big lift. This is asking that those of you who can consider migrating over to THREADS and abandoning TWITTER.

THREADS currently has an estimated 200 million users. TWITTER -- I don't work for Elon, I don't have to use his new name for the company -- is estimated to have 600 million users -- though the internal stats I studied Saturday make clear that only a little over 320 million of that 600 have Tweeted in the last six months.

So let's do our part for our democracy by telling Mr Racist from South Africa that we're not going to help him anymore. It's free labor, grasp that. Free labor for Elon. It's time for us to reject him that same way the wise Black people in South Africa did. Aparethied was falling and he and hideous family suddenly needed to leave.

And let's focus on what we can do. I'm dictating these snapshot -- I dictate them while I work out in the morning -- so I'll be basing it on the feedback I get from this community, on what people in my life that I respect advise and on my own thoughts.

If something I propose does not work for you, I get it. Don't think twice about it. That's true on TWITTER. I'd like to see us all leave but that might not happen. If you're able to, please consider doing so.

This snapshot is where I'm at right now. Others are still mourning and I respect that and I honor it. This is not my, "Get over it and get to work!" You deal with what you need to. You process and you determine when you come back to any activism and whether or not you even do that.

We were sold out and betrayed and I don't expect anyone to just get over that.

Two videos. Karen Hunter and Roland Martin.

Bernie is not our leader. And outlets who mistake his own coded language -- intentional or not -- and overlook the reality of his positions (he's very build a wall when it comes to economics -- or did no one ever tell you), better expect that you're going to lose a lot of people. He may be your Messiah but for a lot of us, he's just another old White man trying to keep us down.

An e-mail yesterday to the public e-mail account was from a drive-by who is so upset that they didn't read the following before the election:

Don't give a dime to the racist NATION magazine

Media: The election winds down

Why or why didn't he read it before he voted. He's a Gaza Freak. He now regrets his protest against Kamala. You know what, it's really too late at this point. He also wishes he'd seen any of the above sooner and wants to know why I didn't promote it on social media?

Oh, I'm sorry. Let's dock my pay for a week -- Oh, wait. I don't ask for money on any of this. Never have, never will. It's not my fault that you didn't stumble on it before, somehow you managed to after.

Missing what Ava and I wrote is not your excuse or justification for not voting for Kamala. There were other people -- many, many people -- especially Black women -- all over the net addressing the topics we covered and similar topics. If you're serious in your e-mail, then what you need to do is expand on who you follow. Most of your news content and public affairs content is exclusively White. Try working on that in 2024 and see if you can't expand your mind.

Same mistakes still being made in the coverage

Nadira Goffe (SLATE) offers:

To put it bluntly: If Harris was considered too Black to be our first Black female president, then, welp! I suppose there goes that dream. She looked the part, in pantsuits and pearls (a signature AKA sorority accessory). She acted the part: Even in college, she was known as C³, for being calm, cool, and collected. She refused to make her identity as a Black, South Asian American central to the campaign, after seeing what running on identity had done for Clinton just eight years earlier. And while maintaining an extremely controlled image, Harris was also wildly qualified, having served as a vice president, U.S. senator, and attorney general of California.

And if s ecuring the Black vote and Black capital was the only thing Harris needed for this campaign, she would have achieved it in a business day. Within 24 hours of her endorsement as the Democratic presidential candidate, Black women fundraised an unprecedented number of campaign dollars and broke Zoom capacity records and began to push huge get-out-the-vote efforts. Much of this was led by sorority and fraternity members of the Divine Nine, and to call the Divine Nine “organized” is an understatement. Organizing is not only what they are best at, it is what they trade in.

That's an opinion. I'm not disagreeing with it, I'm not signing off on it. I'm sharing it.

I think everyone should hear it -- rather they agree with it or not. Throughout the campaign, media coverage ignored Black women.

Here, I am trying to share as many Black women as possible. Not everyone thinks the same thing.

Danielle has serious concerns about the integrity of the vote. Honestly, if she wasn't a Black woman, I wouldn't have shared her video. I don't know that she's wrong, I don't know that she's right. But she has that concern, I saw it, it went up here.

We're all trying to figure it out. But only certain people -- White men with grievances mainly -- are the ones being amplified.

Roland S. Martin has already noted the racist overtones of Bernie's remarks -- remarks Conley is repeating. She needs to enlarge her frame of reference. As do most Bernie supporters. He's never been able to communicate well with Black voters. He's always struggled. And it's because he comes off racist. I'm real sorry that you refuse to leave your own shoes and put yourself in another person's shoes -- a Black person's shoes -- for just one minute to grasp how insulting Bernie is. This is not a new development. There has always been -- dating back to his days in the House -- a split over how White Democrats and Black Democrats see Bernie. Again, Roland S. Martin rightly demolished Bernie's nonsense and did so last week.

With racism playing such a huge part in the coverage of this campaign, I think everyone would benefit from stop rushing to their Progressive gods long enough to weigh what's being said and how it comes off.

It's that entitlement that allows MAGA nut Michael Flynn to threaten Kamala Harris and Barack Obama. Read David McAfee's RAW STORY report.

Ava and my "Media: White supremacy won the 2024 election (Ava and C.I.)" went up. It doesn't cover half of what we wanted to cover. But we finished it and posted it because my attitude currently is, we've all earned a break. We're all shattered over the election. The racism -- coming from our own side, not just MAGA -- was and remains outrageous.

And you've got people pretending like it's not even there.
