Michael Moore: When The President Incites, You Must Indict – Rumble with Michael Moore podcast…

“On Day 3 of the second impeachment trial of Donald Trump, the Democratic impeachment managers unveiled stunning and maddening video proof of the violent, insurrectionist mob being instigated by Trump and showing their lethal and deadly actions and intentions. Footage we’ve never seen before of Senators running for their lives was among the evidence that showed how the January 6th, 2021 was even worse than we thought.
Michael Moore reflects on today’s stunning testimony. The Senate must convict this thuggish sociopath and forbid him for running for office again, and any Republican member of congress who voted in favor of the insurrectionists must be shunned, shamed, defeated and removed.
Call your Senators and demand Trump be convicted:

She should not have been fired over this…End Of Discussion.
You are completely without integrity, if you are applauding this termination…In fact, you are part of the problem.
She has been very successful, and will land on her feat…but most of us would not be so fortunate…and are not so fortunate, when this type of thing happens to us.
When it comes to “saying whatever you want”…there is nothing wrong with “say what you want, but you are not free from consequences”…
…But since when does these “consequences” entail being subjected to, and judged by, gross distortions of what you were trying to communicate?…
…Since when is it okay, for these “consequences” to be a gross extreme overreaction, including full banishment without recourse [or appeal] and based upon naked prejudice against “people like you”?
…Since when does it “rightly” include attacking what for most of us would be our very ability to survive?

Professor Richard Wolff on Biden, Capitalism, and Fascism: A Very Bad Sign Of What Is Coming…

“Julianna welcomes back recurring guest, Economist Professor Richard D. Wolff to the show, to discuss how it is a new political era, and there is much to celebrate coming out of the White House these days. But when it comes to our economic system, we still have a long way to go. Joe Biden is of course no critic of capitalism — and so long as it remains unquestioned, capitalism will continue to produce the same ills. So how will Biden respond to the continued economic challenges he faces as a result?
Professor Wolff is an American Economist, known for his work on economic methodology and class analysis. He is Professor Emeritus of Economics at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, and currently a Visiting Professor in the Graduate Program in International Affairs of the New School University in New York. Wolff has also taught economics at Yale University, City University of New York, University of Utah, University of Paris I (Sorbonne), and The Brecht Forum in New York City.”

Larry Flynt, Hustler Magazine Founder, Dies at 78…

“Larry Flynt, the founder and publisher of Hustler magazine, died on Wednesday at his home in Los Angeles, his brother Jimmy Flynt told the Washington Post. He was 78. … Flynt was an outspoken First Amendment supporter, and his magazine was involved in the milestone Hustler Magazine v. Falwell Supreme Court case in 1988 that set the standard for defamation cases against public figures. … Throughout the years, though, Flynt became outspoken about the First Amendment and free speech and said that this desire fomented in 1978, when he was shot by a sniper and left paralyzed from the waist down. “When I was gunned down in the streets of Georgia and paralyzed, I saw that pretty much as my life being over. I made a calculated decision to spend the rest of my life devoted to expanding the parameters of free speech. Forty + years later, the fight continues,” he tweeted in 2019.” I remember well, when my cousins would sneak “dirty” magazines out of my uncles considerable stash…Some of them were Hustler… I was never a huge fan of Hustler, of course…but I have a great deal of respect, for Larry’s free speech championing. |

Date: February 12, 2021
“Gina Carano has been fired from Lucasfilm and the Mandalorian for a false narrative that Disney Star Wars just validated. Cancel Culture claims another prize and it is guaranteed to continue as long as cowardly corporation keep bending the knee to a vocal minority that has been given too much power for too long. It is time to take that power back. Cancel Disney plus was trending for a good part of last evening. Happy to do my part. I Stand with Gina Carano. Winners always land on their feet.” |

“At this joint event with Intelligence Squared Germany, Yale historian Timothy Snyder addressed the dangers to democracy from deliberate manipulation of the media and the spread of disinformation by authoritarian governments and their supporters. Snyder talked about the growing threats to democratic systems in Europe and the United States, including Russian interference in the 2016 US elections and manipulation of the media during the invasion of Ukraine. In particular, he discussed how authoritarian leaders use language to delegitimize opposition. And crucially, how citizens can resist.” |
