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'"

Batya Ungar-Sargon stuns Bill Maher into submission when talking about Trump's rationale on tariffs:
BUS: "The 70's the largest share of our GDP was in the middle class. Now the top 20% controls over 50% of the GDP.
That manufacturing is still being done: It's just being done in other countries."
Maher: "For wages we will not work for."
BUS: "That's what the tariffs are for. They are to make American workers more competitive in the global market.
Why are we accepting that there should be a race to the bottom?
China: What is its competitive advantage over us? They pay slave wages.
It's important that we have a stake in the manufacturing of the things that we need as a nation, so that when China goes to war against us we're not relying on them for steel and aluminum in order to fight them."
Maher: "At least that's an answer."

'At least that was an answer' An answer that the media has chose to conceal through their propaganda.

Kennedy reveals some dirt about the View host Joy Behar:
"Joy was a talking hemorrhoid in an Auburn wig. She was so ungracious and awful and she had a comedy writer writing her little lines during the break. She's not even funny."

Joy doesn't need writers, she's unlikeable enough on her own.

Bill Maher rips the Democrats for their hypocrisy and their lame attempts at resistance:
"He was shaking his cane at the president. Which I thought was an apt metaphor, a cane shaking for this Democrat party: Lame.
Democrats are fighting back in a way: They're tiring of all of this firing, furloughing, closing of these government departments, and they say:
'If you don't stop shutting down the government, we're going to shut down the government!'

Democrat response to Trump has been the equivalent of 'Old Man Yells at Cloud'

Adam Carolla's brilliant 'hot blonde' analogy to explain to Matt Gaetz the degradation of California:
Matt Gaetz: "I remember growing up in the 90s. You looked at LA as the place where the beautiful people went. Just seemed like a place every everybody wanted to be. And then you go now: It's just like wading through garbage. Do you think it's savable?"
Adam Carolla: "I always say California was like a hot blond from high school that just assume this thing would go on forever. And now she's in her mid 40s and the phone isn't ringing and guys aren't buying her drinks and sending them over to the end of the bar.
You know, it's not what it was. She has crow's feet and, a little belly and a C-section scar, and she she never got educated. She never worked at anything. She has no work ethic.
She she didn't do anything because LA was always like, where L.A., where else you gotta go? Other cities have to kind of work for it.
We in California and then especially LA just got by in our looks for so long. But eventually it catches up to you and you never spent one night studying.
LA doesn't really know how to do things. And like our representative city council like our mayor is where in Ghana doing, you know, wearing a ceremonial headdress and learning whatever dance they're learning because everything in LA is our mayor doesn't run Los Angeles.
Our mayor is a sort of ceremonial figurehead.
But we like the idea of a black woman who's running everything, even though she doesn't know how to run everything.
At some point everything burns to the ground. And then all the idiots who vote for these people look around and go, what's going on? How come we didn't have any infrastructure? How come we weren't prepared for this? We're prepared for this because you vote for idiots who don't her aren't interested in any of this stuff."

California run by Republicans: Paradise
California run by Democrats: Paradise lost
