Kagro in the Morning - October 17, 2023

Today on KITM, David Waldman andJoan McCarter count down the days until the government shutdown, which if Jim Jordan gets to be House Speaker will be assured, if we make it that far.

Ruptured, rudderless Republicans don’t really want to go with Jordan, but that seems to be the direction that they are heading. (With their hearts and minds in tow, of course.) Gym isn’t the guy Republicans want. He isn’t the guy they need. He might not even be the one they get. But they shouldn’t expect Democrats toride to their rescue for nothing. Not that they would ask for help, as they are being told that they are winning.

If news organizations need help in accurate framing, Greg Dworkin has an opinion to share. (Need a second opinion? How about another one?)

President Joe Biden heads to Israel to discuss their war with Gaza. Tagging along with Joe are thousands of US troops and their military equipment... which will doubtlessly be utilized in no way that would endanger anyone or further embroil the United States in any way.

Have you heard about how the amount of fentanyl confiscated at the border proves how open our borders are? Well good news! The Virginia National Guard spent $2 million and could not find a single deadly gram on their Texas field trip.

First, they came for light bulbs and gas stoves, now our refrigeratormagnets won’t work anymore!
