Tuesday Cartoons: FU MSNBC

Posted: February 25, 2025 | Author: | Filed under: just because | 10 Comments

Well, just like all the firings going on vis-a-vis the Trump/Musk administration regarding DEI hires…MSNBC seems to also have got the message.

Dak wrote about losing Joy Reid yesterday, but in fact, it was a massive blow to MSNBC’s anchors of color:

New MSNBC Bloodbath of Non-White Anchors After Joy Reid Forced Out

My latest. Please read + share: "Drain MSNBC of Viewers As It Whitewashes its Network to Placate Trump"MSNBC has decided to silence, sideline, & cancel prominent anchors of color, such as Joy Reid. The rest of us can tune out and build our own media community.open.substack.com/pub/thelefth…

Here to support my friend @joyannreid.bsky.social as she signs off, her last show! She's one of the best!!!

— Harry Dunn (@libradunn1.bsky.social) 2025-02-25T00:10:11.788Z

@msnbc again, wtf? You fire Joy, Alex, Jonathan and Katie Phang yet keep ring kissers Joe and Mika and the inane Katy Tur? So badly done.

Joy Reid signs off at the end of her final MSNBC broadcast. Jen Psaki then begins her show by thanking her.

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-02-25T01:02:57.355Z

Personally, I can’t stand Jen Psaki…so, fuck her.

Maddow had this to say:

NEW: Macron has to interrupt Trump and correct a lie about Europe’s contribution.TRUMP: “Europe is loaning the money to Ukraine. They get their money back."MACRON: “No. We provided real money. To be clear.”Trump clearly not used to get fact-checked live.

I'd heard a rumor that DOGE had fired all the regional directors at SEC. Seems that rumor was pretty close to the mark. All told their jobs are being eliminated. (Remember, Musk despises the SEC.) http://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-…

— Josh Marshall (@joshtpm.bsky.social) 2025-02-25T00:55:46.950Z

lol there's so much going on here.when is second chance. what does termination actually mean. Musk is literally attempting to make himself look important and in charge when multiple agency heads have told him to fuck off.

The Trump administration may continue — for now — to keep the AP from covering key events. A federal judge declined to issue a temporary restraining order on Monday.

This is great advice but also would require most of us to leave America, as in most states Trump voters are everywhere

— Seth Abramson (@sethabramson.bsky.social) 2025-02-25T00:01:06.404Z

My fear is Trump is "putting people in place for when that fateful day arrives & the suggestion is made, as it was in the Oval Office, 'should we just shoot them in the legs,' … my fear is there will be officers in the room who say sure, we will shoot them," retired Rear Adm. James McPherson said.

Good morning, my dad had surgery yesterday…they removed his gallbladder. He has been in the hospital for several days now. So I do not know what is going on in the world…this is just a quick post.

What the fuck?

Thursday Cartoons: King Me

Posted: February 20, 2025 | Author: | Filed under: just because | Comments Off on Thursday Cartoons: King Me

Morning. So I have a few things for you to follow…

Yesterday Trump tweeted this:

Then the actual White House tweeted this:

And if that wasn’t shitty enough…this happened:

It is disgraceful. But I truly think nothing is going to happen.

All these people commenting on the various news outlets…saying, “Reagan is rolling in his grave.” And how they can’t believe the Republicans are so quiet. Or why aren’t even the Trump supporters making complaints…(This hand wringing mostly over the fact that Trump has sided with Putin/Russia regarding Ukraine.) I have been yelling at the TV…they don’t care! The politicians and the Trumpets don’t care!

These assholes haven’t cared for a while. And I don’t think Trump followers will be concerned about anything affecting them, because it is a cult and they think he is their savior. So to them …King has double meaning.

In other news:

REVEALED: we identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, "GlomarResponder," as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.

In their zeal to cut media contracts, DOGE appears to have cancelled the Securities and Exchange Commission's contract with Westlaw (which is owned by Reuters' parent company). Total savings: $0.

Morning. I am so sick of that fucking orange turd, and he hasn’t even been president a month yet.

Did you see the latest?

Elon what’s to see the gold in Fort Knox:

'It's gone': Elon Musk suggests without evidence that gold was 'stolen' from Fort Knoxwww.rawstory.com/fort-knox/

You know, James Bond had to fight Goldfinger and Oddjob to keep them out of our gold deposits. Who the fuck is going to fight Elon and Trump?

Here’s some news updates:

Last week, Elon Musk appeared alongside Trump in the Oval to defend the work of DOGE. Looking directly at Musk, Trump asked; “Could you mention some of the things *your team* has found?” Tonight, the government claimed that Musk isn’t in charge of DOGE & isn’t a DOGE employee.

— Anna Bower (@annabower.bsky.social) 2025-02-18T05:03:05.189Z

Trump Admin fired all of the US Attorneys appointed by Biden, informed them by email, and sent the messages to the wrong email addresses. Not just classless, but incompetent, too.

— Charles Johnson (@charles.littlegreenfootballs.com) 2025-02-18T02:43:29Z

They're not even trying to hide it. This DOJ is going to investigate people for imaginary crimes in revenge for Trump being prosecuted for his very real crimes against the country. And they're proud of it.

Elon musk is the richest man in the world, he could be funding hospitals, medical research and universities. He could be solving the climate crisis. He could be feeding, hungry children. Instead, he’s trying to make sure that your grandmother doesn’t get an extra dollar of Social Security.

“a party that has played down the atrocities committed by the Nazis” makes the AfD sound like a bunch of old biddies who can’t face facts. They want to *revive and repeat* the racist policies of the Nazis.

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.
