Cedric's Big Mix: 2024-11-10

BULLY BOY PRESS & CEDRIC'S BIG MIX & THOMAS FRIEDMAN IS A GREAT MAN & ANN'S MEGA DUB & THE WORLD TODAY JUST NUTS & THE COMMON ILLS -- THE KOOL AID TABLE

THOUGH HE CLAIMS TO BE AGAINST DEI HIRES, INCOMING PRESIDENT AND FOREVER FELON DONALD TRUMP-DUMP HAS SELECTED TRASHY GARBAGE (STAGE NAME TULSI GABBARD) TO BE THE DIRECTOR OF NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE. DOES A TUTOR COME WITH THAT JOB? INTELLIGENCE? TULSI?

WE REACHED GABBARD FOR COMMENT. WHAT FOLLOWS IS A WORD-FOR-WORD TRANSLATION.

US: IS THIS TULSI GABBARD?

TULSI: ARE YOU A BILL COLLECTOR?

US: NO.

TULSI: IS THIS ABOUT THAT SECTIONAL SOFA I NEVER PAID OFF RENT-A-CENTER FOR.

US: NO. THIS IS CEDRIC, WALLY, BETTY, ANN, ISAIAH AND C.I. AND WE'RE CALLING ABOUT YOUR NEW POST.

TULSI: OH! WHAT A RELIEF. AND MY FIRST CONGRATULATIONS CALL!

US: WE DIDN'T CONGRATULATE YOU.

TULSI: OH? WELL, ON THE DOWN LOW, CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT I'M GOING TO BE? DIRECTOR OF SOMETHING OR OTHER. DOES THAT MEAN I MAKE FILMS? I'M OKAY WITH THAT, I JUST CAN'T STAND IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA. OR AT LEAST NOT UNTIL I GET SOME SANDPAPER AND SAND DOWN ALL MY ACNE PIT SCARS. I LIKE DIRECTOR, THOUGH. I ALWAYS WANTED TO BE A CRUISE DIRECTOR BUT PLAYED BY FRED GRADY, YOU KNOW?

US: DO YOU HAVE ANY CLUE WHAT YOUR NEW ROLE ENTAILS?

TULSI: IN TAILS? DO I GET A TOP HAT TOO?

US: DO YOU FEEL PREPARED TO SERVE?

TULSI: DRINKS? I WAS KIND OF HOPING WITH THE TITLE "DIRECTOR," SOMEONE ELSE WOULD SERVE SNACKS AND DRINKS.

AS WE CONCLUDED OUR INTERVIEW WITH TRASHY GARBAGE, WE WERE LEFT WITH A SCARY THOUGHT: WHAT IF SHE WAS THE SMARTEST PERSON IN TRUMP DUMP'S ADMINISTRATION?

MEANWHILE KRISTI NOAM IS TRYING TO MAKE FRIENDS AT HER NEW JOB.

FROM THE TCI WIRE:

Did Kamala never say "working class"? The house pet CNN brought on raised that issue -- wasn't asked, raised it. But she qualified it with "as far as I know." Weasel words because facts didn't matter, it was about getting her attack in.

It's the same nonsense -- and Roland's called this out and Karen Hunter has called this out -- that people are using to water down the Democratic Party.

I know this is hard for Zac and Cody and the other youngsters to believe but Bernie is not a god. He's not even a decent person.

Decent people don't give their lives to public service jobs and end up millionaires. Bernie's got over three million dollars. How did he get the money?

Not by being a threat to the world of corporations.

Here's what the toddlers don't grasp: Bernie talks a good game frequently.

Talks.

Does?

He never does anything. Now back in the day, when he was in the House of Representatives and progressive were rightfully outraged by his failure to ever actually deliver (or fight for that matter). And what we were told back then was that due to being a member of the House of Representatives, he was limited by the fact that he had to run for office every two years. He'd show up in documentaries and Robert Greenwald's 'documentaries' and make statements that he never followed up on. Then he got the Senate. How long are people going to make excuses for him?

I stopped when he chaired a Senate Veterans Affairs Committee hearing. We were there to cover the issue. And the press was there for another issue. The VA was keeping two sets of books. Veteran care was appalling and the wait lists were appalling. So the VA was keeping the true wait time book and the false one that they had been providing to Congress.

And what did Bernie do that morning? Please grasp that veterans were dying due to lack of care. This was a huge scandal. And Bernie insisted, in his opening remarks, that the focus would not be on the emerging story and asked that those on the Committee stay on topic -- the topic being holistic health care.

Veterans are dying and the VA has been caught lying. Lying to our government representatives and president and lying to the people.

And Bernie's more interested in holistic healthcare.

That's when I stopped making excuses for fake ass Bernie.

He might have made a great president in 2020. If he had, it would have been due to the people behind him -- his supporters -- and not due to Bernie.

His remarks this week were racist. Not surprising, he's over 80 years old.

Remember Ralph Nader. Remember him in 2008? Running against Barack Obama and Ralph using terms like "ghetto" and using the term blindly and repeatedly anytime he was asked about any issue effecting Black people? And people thinking Ralph was out of touch and racist. Ralph was only in his 70s.

"Working class"? Kamala did use the term. She was more often using the term "working families."

You might not like it, I might not like it. It was used because it was poll tested and this was done before Zac and Cody even got out of diapers.

Now if we want to have a conversation -- post-election -- about terms, let's do that. But let's be honest about it.

Black women turned out in this election. And no one wants to explore that Danielle, Olay, Tabitha and so many more strong Black women could be a part of this conversation taking place right now -- could be and should be.

But they were taken for granted before the election, taken for granted during the election cycle and are still being taken for granted when we pretend we want answers.

We don't want real answers. Sam doesn't want real answers. He wants to jawbone about conventional wisdom. I have been told Sam is incredibly intelligent. I would love for that to be accurate. But nothing I see right now speaks of anything more than a half-wit.

Currently, the election results are Kamala got 48.1% of the vote and Donald got 50.2% of the vote. You wouldn't know that by the coverage and the hand wringing.

By all means, wring the hands over what Donald's going to do. But this isn't a mandate and it's not a landslide -- and thank you to Lawrence O'Donnell who points this out when everyone else ignores it. Here he is from last night.
