I’m not a journalist - I’m a beat-to-hell, 30-year general assignment reporter and a history major.

I’m not a journalist - I’m a beat-to-hell, 30-year general assignment reporter and a history major. My view of things is this; I pay attention to Charlie Pierce, but I think George Will, Ignatius, Max Boot, Eliot Cohen, Jonathan Capehart, all the talking heads at CNN and nine-tenths of the bobble heads at MSNBC suffer from terminal rectal-cranial inversion.
I hear some of the Bush II administration retreads posing as moderates on MSNBC babble about the kinder, more civil times of Reagan and the Bushes, and I barely control my urge to projectile vomit.
When NPR drags Alberto Gonzales to comment on the utter corruption and fascism of the GOP, all I can say is that he damned well should know given that he aided and abetted torture and dissolution of privacy rights in this country.
Mitt Romney as the last vestige of decency and honor in the GOP? Hah, fckin hah.
I’d vote for a zombie Joe Biden coming to eat my brain like a three-minute egg before I’d even think of giving a Republican the time of day and a heartfelt wish for them to trip and snack their head on the trigger plate of a hardened steel grizzly bear trap.
In 31 years, in this job, I haven’t met a single Republican who wouldn’t sell their younger sister or brother into the East Asian sex trade. I have met a fair number of stupid Democrats, but most of them had risen to their level of incompetence. I still consider myself a retro New Deal Democrat because, in the end, it’s the right goddamned thing to do and because, while I am an asshole, I’m not a dick like all those goddamned conservatives saying Biden is too old.
Lordy! Alberto Gonzales! I had happily forgotten about his slimy self. Almost forgot about shock and awe until a Russian robot/troll (in one of these forums) used the phrase to describe Putin’s tactic in Ukraine.
I just followed - an experiment. This made me laugh so hard I thought I'd find out what following does when on substack... maybe alerts me when you cut lose again? ;)

I do like Capehart though.
Speaking for me, your outrage feels like home to me.

Gonzales! Was he the limp legal minded creature who gave the thumbs up to water boarding?
Yep.
