Kagro in the Morning - October 17, 2022

Sit back, pour yourself a refreshing… Mehmet, get out… beverage, and check out the latest KITM with David Waldman and Greg Dworkin:   Antisemitism is at once trendy and yet so traditional in Right-wing social media that both Trump and Kanye can’t wait to get their latest slurs posted. Kanye West might need to buy Parler just to keep up with the demand. Bigotry, fear, anger, and whiteness have always made money and netted votes, but it might be that the GQP has become too focused on its appeal. Can good Whites of virtue be convinced to vote against their tribal interests? Can enough of them? Maybe, just a few more?   SNL has better political coverage than the mainstream media.   Is Liz Truss still Prime Minister? How about now? Check again. If Truss isn’t gone yet, it isn’t for the lack of trying, by her competitors, her allies, or by her own hand. That seems to be the primary focus in the UK. Liz might be too dull to hang on, but she could try out an international incident and see how that plays.   Over in Russia, various government officials are falling into spats. No worries, those tiffs always have a way of working themselves out there. In the US, Truth Social seems to lack Putin’s sort of competent, principled management, or else their 5th floor windows don’t open.
