"He does not know how to love, and you find out in the last 20 minutes that it’s because he has been hiding a terrible secret, like an undescended testicle, or having spent his youth as a towel boy in a brothel in Salinas."
yikes. maybe the rules should include physical disabilities as well. just a thought.
My favorite part was on the topic of TFG siccing the military on the "enemy within" when she said "He has repeated it many times and you and I both know that." I want to see more of that from everyone. For example, couch fucker knows TFG lost the election so say it to his face: "You and I both know that he lost the 2020 election."
Bret Effing Baier was, in effect, BEING Donald Trump in that interview. Has anyone ever seen a political hack attack a sitting VP like that before? Rude, judgemental, interrupting virtually every answer she was giving, it was a completely bullshit, misogynistic Fox News attack on women, and on American values.
I wish to clear up some misunderstandings about the brothels of Salinas.
Steinbeck gave the landowners there a bad rep at the time. George and Lennie.
During the Dust Bowl, a job as towel boy would have been fine. Pretty much any job anywhere.
Today it feeds the country and the world. It is the "Salad Bowl of the World because of the many crops that are harvested there, including lettuce, broccoli, spinach, strawberries, and tomatoes."
I would picture Bret today cleaning the warehouse floors and dumps.
Not all the landowners. Mr Thomas from "Grapes of Wrath."
Ch 22:
"Citizens, angered at red agitators, burn squatters’ camp. Last night a band of citizens, infuriated at the agitation going on in a local squatters’ camp, burned the tents to the ground and warned agitators to get out of the county."
…Thomas folded the paper carefully and put it in his pocket. He had himself in control again. He said quietly, "Those men were sent out by the Association. Now I’m giving ’em away. And if they ever find out I told, I won’t have a farm next year."
"he found himself pilloried by members of his own party"

put (someone) in a pillory.
What is a pillory punishment?
A pillory is a wooden framework used to imprison someone and expose them to public ridicule. Often people would spend a short time in the pillory, several hours, before being imprisoned. This position, bent over with your hands and head immobilized, could become quite painful without having projectiles tossed at you.
I gotta disagree that Bret Baier's DC mansion is ugly - though some of the interior design choices are TRAGIC and cause little permanent scars on the heart of the aesthete. Solar panels are never ugly - but his hypocrisy about them sure is! Now back to the POINT OF THE ARTICLE: he was dog poop on her lovely shoe.
That was an excruciating 26 minutes. Never have I ever wanted to take off a stiletto heel and smash it into someone’s face (ok, TFG and Fuck Ted Cruz excepted) than I did watching this shitbird try and talk all over MVP.
And the way he was hunched over and leaning towards her? Straight out of a menacing stalker’s playbook.
GOOD. I don't want a president who's going to roll over and let dictators pat his widdle tummy like a good boy. Kamala has bigger cajones than "Alpha Male" Trump, and that's painfully obvious to anyone who isn't a fucking dumbass.
“They said that Comrade Kamala did a terrible job, the absolute worst in memory, and can’t be allowed to do it again.” “She is also the WORST Vice president in history, but hopefully will soon be GONE.” “Again, congratulations to Bret Baier on a tough but very fair interview, one that clearly showed how totally incompetent Kamala is. For the good of our Nation, her inferior Cognitive ability must be tested at once!”
oooh, duelling cognitive tests at 20 paces, great idea! I mean you can hardly demand she have one without being willing to have one yourself, right? Somehow I do not believe that will work out like you expect it to, O Orange Majesty...
Well, I'm glad you guys watched it. I made it about 45 seconds and made a positive decision for my mental health.
Was this a little TOO on the nose?

And job-shaming. And wandering references to "East of Eden."

Marcie got a shoutout from Thom Hartmann about this post on his radio show this morning.
Salinas libelz!
Here's my dear departed friend Larry Hosford to sing at you about Salinas:

Salinas is pretty great, actually.
I am at your (Stein)beck and call.
One day up near Salinas, Lord…well you know
Baier is a disgrace of a man. Also a disgrace to those of us named Bret.
I agree, Bret, but blame your parents😎
I’m older than he is. My parents are dead. I blame him and his parents.

Fuck that guy. Baier should be pilloried for his despicable conduct.
What does "pilloried" actually mean? Can you tell me in a safe way so I don't have to Google it and see some horrible picture of it?
past tense: pilloried; past participle: pilloried

attack or ridicule publicly.

Yes, I can it describes a pharmaceutical method of hillarying a candidate of the female species.
By a pillock.
I've been to Salinas. Brothel Towel Boy is one of the good jobs.
Better than "Monterey Brothel Bartender." See: "Cannery Row."
IKR !

I like the cut of her jib. I would have leapt over and throttled the stuck up, entitled, piece of shit but I lack self control.
Me, too. That's why I became a HS teacher.
You know Baier has been chuckling with the other Fox neanderthals about what a bitch she was. Har har

Here's all the approval he needs:
“They said that Comrade Kamala did a terrible job, the absolute worst in memory, and can’t be allowed to do it again.” “She is also the WORST Vice president in history, but hopefully will soon be GONE.” “Again, congratulations to Bret Baier on a tough but very fair interview, one that clearly showed how totally incompetent Kamala is.

See who can identify "camel" quickest. Or who can say 'person man woman camera tv' five times fast without slipping.
He's had years of rehearsing that line, wouldn't be fair. Flashcards in a lightning round.
He couldn't do it without the visual cues.
