Andrew Yang, MSNBC and Vaping

1. Andrew Yang goes Oprah

Look, Andrew Yang has a right to run for president but he doesn’t have the credentials. I have no idea why republicans thought it was a good idea to allow a person who has never held public office on any level to run for president. But the results of that experience have been a colossal failure. So, Democrats don’t need to follow republicans down that rabbit. While Yang has some solid ideas that are worth exploring, like his $1,000 stipend particularly for people whose jobs will be lost to automation. But his latest stunt to give $120k to people who went to his website during the debate demonstrated that he belongs on a daytime talk show, not the White House. What’s he gonna do for his next debate performance, “you get a car, you get a car and you get a car”.

2. MSNBC Erases Kamala

The media blackout of Kamala Harris has been something to behold. MSNBC seems to have a directive that they cannot mention Kamala except when talking about Warren’s plans and then to only quickly mention that Kamala has one similar leaving out that Kamala’s plans came out long before Warren’s. Or when they talk about something negative like when she asked Joe Biden a question at the first debate that he couldn’t answer and the pundits circled the wagon to claim she “attacked” Biden. But the latest example was the most egregious by far.

All the Democrat candidates did a PSA about gun violence. It was really well done and I liked the idea of the coalition between the Democrats instead of the Democrats in disarray narrative. When MSNBC re-played the video, a certain Senator from California was missing. Check out the two versions below.

Now, I would give them the benefit of the doubt if Kamala was in the beginning and they needed to cut the video for time or if she was in the end and again, time was an issue. But Kamala is in the middle. There is no excuse for this except the media doesn’t want to give her any exposure. I was never a person who peddled in conspiracy theories but watching the so-called liberal media treat candidates of color like they have this election cycle has been pulling out my tin foil hat.

3. Mark Halperin Gets Another Chance

Mark Halperin is a sexual predator. I know the author of Game Change was a well known political pundit booked on numerous shows especially MSNBC but the guy is a predator. When the stories came out about what he did to women who worked for and with him, it was on Bill O’Reilly level of perv. But now, he wants back in and it seems he will be welcomed back with open arms. Just think about this. The guy would rub his erect penis on the women he worked with, in some instances those women left their jobs because of him, and yet no one is worried about them landing on their feet or giving them a second chance. Did they stay in the business? Did having some discussing pervert harass you at work make them give up on their profession? We don’t hear the cry from people like Michael Smerconish, who has Halperin on his show, about giving these women another chance. If you ever wonder why people like Roger Ailes, Bill O’Reilly, Matt Lauer, and Halperin stayed employed after so many allegations surfaced, just look at the way other White men (and sadly women) welcome them back after they are caught. The #MeToo era didn’t last long.

4. Ban on Vaping

Six people die from vaping and the “president” wants to ban vaping. He and his wife talked about her son and how important it was to protect the kids. Meanwhile, our children are having active shooter drills in their schools while wearing bulletproof backpacks. Make it make sense Black Jesus.

5. Protesters Go Full Crazy

I participated in a number of protests in my lifetime about issues that were as wide ranging as Black Lives Matter to Equal Pay for Women. But I never could imagine anyone doing what the anti-vaccine protesters did at a California Senate hearing. A protester blurted something about the “this is for dead babies” as she threw menstrual blood from the gallery onto the Senate floor below. Blood splatter on tables, chairs and the clothing of the Senators. Disgusting, deplorable and hopefully criminal charges are filed. Its one thing to protest, quite another to assault congressmen. I don’t even want to imagine how she collected this blood but this is Gone Girl level of crazy.5 Things That Will Piss You Off This Week
