I've posted about her before but she is must watch journalism in my mind. Carlson tried to go after her before and lost. So she is showing old clips of him warning about the virus in March, contrasting that with his recent statements telling Faux viewers they are all going to die anyway so don't worry about it. Also Ghouliani and a Pence aide are getting the Keilar treatment, which is using facts and liars' own words, narrating in measured tones, to shine a light on the truth. Journalism as it should be done.

BEFORE the election. Afterwards, I couldn't care less. I think it is going Biden's way and a big disruption would just be used by McConnell, and the rest of the repub mafia to try to change the outcome they know is coming.

And anyone who thinks the same traitors who refused to stand up to him, changed norms and rules to steal SCOTUS seats and suppress votes won't do whatever they can to keep in power if he is incapacitated or dies, haven't been paying attention. Oh, the Constitution and line of succession, you can forget about that.

From the Guardian:
"Emily Gorcenski has been tracking them every step of the way.

Since 2018, the 38-year-old data scientist has been exposing members of the far right and cataloguing white supremacist violence across the US through her site, First Vigil. The project grew out of the attack on her Charlottesville, Virginia, community the year prior – the deadly Unite the Right rally, which brought Gorcenski face to face with neo-Nazis bearing torches and swastikas, shouting racist and transphobic vitriol at her. One of her attackers was later revealed to be an active US marine.

Using court files and other public records, the anti-fascist researcher has catalogued hundreds of criminal cases, connected the dots of dangerous neo-Nazi networks, and revealed links that journalists and authorities have missed. "

Too soon?

Unfortunately, my arthritis kicked in and I only could wave with one finger.

She is on now so there isn't a video yet, but it is the most extraordinary takedown of the shitbag I have seen. She has been doing a great job on other issues but I urge everyone to watch this segment when available.

As she always does, she uses facts, videos and a carefully measured tone to demonstrate his venal behavior,m incompetence and indecency. But this was special because she brought a story from her husband's service to personalize it. I kept expecting her to get emotional because I did, but she kept it together while at the same time bringing a passion that made it even more powerful. Then she had on Tammy Duckworth to finish. I love Ms. Keilar.

From former Democratic admin official Jen Psaki, who worked with Rice. I have been concerned about Rice's lack of political experience, but Psaki answers those questions; also the times I've watched her interviews she is very good at speaking plainly, something not every policy wonk can do.

She is doing a monumental takedown of drumpf right now over the virus, then moving on to Congress, comparing them to the front line workers who don't get to take off during this surge. Last week she referred to his approach as stupid; right now she is using his own words against him in a comprehensive rebuttal to his lies and the abandonment by him and some in Congress in their duty to America.

Just now on Nicolle Wallace.

"It’s about equality and everybody being treated the same because we are all human. It’s been ignored for too long and that (is) my fault as well for not becoming more educated and staying silent.

If I lose fans, that’s OK. I’ve always spoken my mind. And that’s from the heart."
