AOC gets called out by NPR host for claiming that Trump is weaponizing the justice department, while Democrats tried to jail Trump:
Steve Inskeep: "Some Republicans listening to this and thinking 'Actually wait a minute, you're the ones who are prosecuting us. You're the ones who are weaponizing the Justice Department."
Alexandria Ocasio Cortez: "In what way?"
Inskeep: "Putting Trump on trial, would be there example I suppose."

Impossible challenge: Talk to AOC without something going over her head. She would have genuinely asked:
'“But other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?”'

Scott Jennings receives an applause break from the Bill Maher audience for articulating the 'Peace and War' aspect of the 'Trump doctrine':
Bill Maher: "There is a Trump doctrine now. Now we have the Trump doctrine, I think as much of a departure as any president has promulgated.
Trump in Riyadh: "In the end the so called nation builders wrecked more nations than they built. Interventionists were intervening complex societies that they did not understand."
Bill Maher: "His doctrine is 'You do you, we all love money'"
Scott Jennings: "Something about the Republican doctrine that has been fascinating to me. We've always been war and peace, Trump has changed it to peace and war.
He talks about peace more than he talks about war.
They would much rather hear an American president talk about peace.
'Peace through strength' on that I think he's right. Putting peace ahead of war pretty popular among the American people."

'Peace through strength' or risk resting in peace.
Thread of the Scott Jennings episode of Bill Maher begins here:

James Carville does not back down while debating DNC Vice Chair David Hogg's 20 million dollar strategy to primary Democrats:
Tara Palmeri: "You've [James Carville] said that members of the DNC should sue him for doing this, since David is a member of the party leadership."
James Carville: "I think it is abominable that an official of a political party that is being paid or supported by that political party to go out and raise money to defeat members of the same party. I think that's jackassery of the highest level.
I'm going to tell you right to your face: I think it's abominable that you have anything to do with the DNC."

Democrat voters: 'Stop anointing your preferred candidates. Let the voters make decisions via the Democratic process'
DNC: 'We hear you loud and clear, which is why we're putting our thumb on the scale.'

Adam Schiff had his luggage stolen in San Francisco, and while he was shopping for new luggage the clerk told him that 'Democrats are assholes':
Adam Schiff: "We're going to have to change how we do business in San Francisco.
I was in South San Francisco when my luggage was stolen out of my car.
I went to this target 10 o'clock at night."
Bill Maher: "You went there by yourself, not an assistant?"
Adam Schiff: "I had somebody drop me off at the store."
"That target bag is going to be my luggage for the next two days."
"She said in not so many words 'Democrats are assholes"
"I thought if the cashier in South San Francisco 10 o'clock at night believes Democrats are assholes because the shampoo is locked up, we've got a major problem we've got to address."

'Democrats are assholes' because their stories to relate to the 'common man' involves a chauffeur.

Al Gore contrasts 'REGO' to 'DOGE' on Bill Maher:
Bill Maher: "Could you compare and contrast for the class?"
Al Gore: "We had a project called Reinventing Government. REGO.
We had the benefit of doing it over 7 years. We eliminated over 426000 positions.
We used a scalpel, not a chainsaw. We cut the fat. Not muscle and bone, that's what they're doing.
I'm not sure they're going to save any money whatsoever.
It seems what they're claiming as savings is being whittled down to almost nothing."

Sweet irony: Elon has been DOGEd
Thread of today's episode begins here:
Funny to watch the 'new media' fall into the trap of covering for Elon, as they complained about the mainstream media covering for Biden
The 1960 election was contested in some form, by JFK, on January 6th 1961.
He offered an alternate slate of electors for the state of Hawaii
Nixon accepted

Scott Jennings reminds his colleagues at CNN the depths of the coverup of Joe Biden's mental decline:
Scott Jennings: "These [Biden] books, seeing that video of Kamala Harris and then these videos of Tim Walz the last few days, boy did we dodge a bullet, lord have mercy.
It can all be told now:
I sat here all during the campaign and was assured that Joe Biden was fine.
Kamala Harris had the most organic grassroots driven campaign
The Democrats were unified
We had a campaign of joy
Everything was hunky dory
That's what I was told night after night: Now the [Biden] books are coming out.
Our own government from the White House podium lied to us about his condition, covered it up.
We lived through the biggest scandal in modern American politics, yes John Avlon."

The collective amnesia amongst certain complicit media members around their lack of reporting of Biden's decline makes me wonder if Biden's dementia was contagious.
Since they discussed 'Biden Books' here is the full interview with 'Uncharted' author Chris Whipple:

Jon Stewart screams 'OMFG' and is rendered speechless after hearing all 14 steps to apply for 'Build Back Better' funding:
Ezra Klein: "We have to issue the notice funding opportunity within 180 days that's step one.
Step Two: States who want to participate must submit a letter of intent. After they do that, they can submit a request for up to $5 million in planning grants.
Then the NTIA Step Four has to review and approve an award again. States who want to participate must submit that letter of intent.
Step three: "They can request up to $5 million in planning grants. Just planning, just planning.
Step four : "The requests are reviewed, approved and awarded by the NTIA." States must submit a five year action plan. All 56 had passed through at least step 5, it took more than 3 years.
[Step 6] Then the FCC, must publish the broadband data maps before NTIA allocates funds. So having done the no vote. So the letters of intent, the the the request for planning grants, then the review approval and awarding of the planning grants, then the five year action plans in between that the federal government has to put forward a map saying where it thinks we need rural broadband subsidies. And then, of course, the states need an opportunity to challenge the map for accuracy.
step seven So then the NTIAhas to use the FCC maps to make allocation decisions. It's hard even to talk about this, man.
Step eight is states must submit an initial proposal to the NTIA."
Jon Stewart: "But then what was the five year plan and what the fuck did they apply for?"
Ezra Klein: "Step nine NTIA must review and approve each state's again initial proposal. By my read, we have had at least two initial proposals here, but that's a different issue.
Step ten. States must publish their own map and allow internal challenges to their own map.
Step 11 the NTIA must review and improve the challenge results and the final map. So the NCAA has put forward a map.
Step 12 states must run a competitive sub granting process."
Jon Stewart: "Oh, my fucking God. At step 12. After all this has been done!?"
Ezra Klein: "Step 13 States must submit a final proposal. This all all the proposals weren't enough to NTIA. Now that goes to three of 56.
Step 14 the NTIA must review and approve the state's final proposal. And that is three of the 56 jurisdictions. And states are there."
Jon Stewart: "I'm speechless."

Jon just learned why "The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: 'I'm from the government and I'm here to help'"
