Episode #80 of the Countdown podcast is up. Here’s the summary, with an extra dose or two of snark.
A-Block (1:28) 1st SPECIAL COMMENT Is America free? Or are we slaves to the mob rule of Republican gun owners? These Americans — just out for a Saturday night in a place in Colorado Springs that they considered their “haven,” just like the children were in Uvalde and just like the shoppers in Buffalo, were killed — directly or stochastically — by Republicans.
We always ignore the darkest, truest part of the equation of gun violence: There are people in this country who WANT this to keep happening. It is why more children die by gunfire every year than do on-duty cops or active military. And the Republican Party has prostituted itself to these people.
The 2nd Amendment is a lie; there are 103 words related to money or ownership in the Constitution as amended and none of them are in 2A.
Right now the President could make enormous inroads into the availability of the guns with which Republicans hunt minorities and children, just by Executive Orders. He must make them, and more over he must lead us in the truth: once again, in Colorado Springs, REPUBLICANS MURDERED AMERICANS. B-Block (18:53) 2nd SPECIAL COMMENT: If you were Attorney General and you were trying to run out the clock on prosecuting an ex-president and make sure it was the clock that got the blame — and not you — you’d do exactly what Merrick Garland did in appointing a Special Counsel nearly two years after the crime.
There are seven major rationalizations for Garland’s act. I’ll let them be refuted by Neal Katyal, William Barr, Jill Wine-Banks, Bradley Moss, Matthew Miller, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Samuel Alito — and Robert Mueller. C-Block (30:26) EVERY DOG HAS ITS DAY Elayne Booster.
Elayne Booster. (31:51) POSTSCRIPTS TO THE NEWS: Nothing new on the James Comer Scandal
(33:28) IN SPORTS: Qatar didn’t ban beer at the World Cup. It just raised the price to $22,600; the infamous “Mantle Lewd Questionnaire” is up for auction (and I’ll tell you about the only baseball document even more profane than Mantle’s: the 1898 Special Instructions To Players.
(39:33) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Geraldo Rivera and Ronny Jackson are no match for Maggie “Trump’s Change of Tone” Haberman.
(41:53) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: 40 years ago, the media guy for the NFL Players Union and all but one of the reporters covering the NFL strike talks pranked the one remaining reporter. It. Was. Epic.
As Keith says: Well, that’s all the damage I can do here for now. Good morning, good afternoon, good night, and good luck.
