Countdown With Keith Olbermann, S2E131: Michigan: Trump Underperforms, Biden Overperforms [1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.'] Date: 2024-02-27 Episode 131 has been uploaded. iHeart Radio link; list of all podcasts there Omny.FM link; list of all podcasts there ivoox also carries his podcasts. YouTube, later Link to Preview A-Block SPECIAL COMMENT: Trump under-performs AGAIN, Tell us something Melania and Marla don’t already know. Oh, wait, Keith’s talking about eLECtions ... falling short of polling by at least 17 points in the Michigan Republican. And Biden OVER-performs AGAIN, and so does the “Uncommitted” protest votes against his Israel-Gaza policy, in what is looking like a gentle rebuke in the Michigan Democratic Primary. PLUS: LEGACY NEWS MEDIA BREAKTHROUGH: After Trump did a hatful of racisms at “The Black Conservative Federation Gala” (the one that had almost no blacks in attendance) the president of ABC News Kim Godwin emailed people on her staff that “these remarks are as racist as they come … mind blowing. Shocking.” Of course they were NOT shocking and Godwin’s response might as well have been “wait – Trump was PRESIDENT?” and that only underscores the media disconnect from the reality of the evil of Trump. But the headline is: SHE TOOK A STAND and did so in writing, knowing it would get out. She may have had ulterior motives (she’s been dreadful and loathed on the job; she just got another boss appointed above her; she may be trying to stave off dismissal) and they don’t matter. She SAID something — more than her network or any network actually has. It may have moved the needle a bit. COMER DOUBLES DOWN: You wouldn’t, I wouldn’t. But he and Jim Jordan — with a new jailed witness replacing the first jailed witness as the primary asset in their President Biden Impeachment/Hunter Biden Smear — have doubled down. They’ve subpoenaed Merrick Garland for all of corrupt Special Counsel Robert Hur’s transcripts, videos, etc. If Garland were smart, he’d fight the subpoena and say that of course while it’s being adjudicated, Hur can’t say anything, especially to the House Committee. Because it would be useful if Democrats began to ask themselves: What dirty trick would a Republican play in this situation. And apply it not just to a subpoena from some whores in Congress, but to the dilemma in Michigan and, for that matter, at the border. Which leads me to a modest proposal: Biden should steal the issue, control the process, and neuter Trump all in one fell swoop. HE should declare HE is building a wall and destroy the feeble minds of 60 million Trumpists. A wall can be anything more than six inches long. I’ve already done one “Trump’s penis” joke today, so I’ll leave it at that. B-BLOCK THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Axios slams Biden for having note cards at fundraisers. Then, a Democratic county chairman finds pictures of the Axios reporter (Hans Nichols) and the Axios co-founder (Mike Allen) reading questions off note cards. x The author of the Biden uses note cards articles https://t.co/sbYbzCI3RG — Fly Sistah (@Fly_Sistah) February 23, 2024 x This you using notes for an interview? Double standard? Or it’s just ok for you? pic.twitter.com/Zois0RhiOP — KM 💙 (@democraticitizn) February 23, 2024 Do you know who COULD have used note cards? Donald Trump. During his “victory in South Carolina” speech, he named his children and their spouses or significant others … except for Eric and Lara. Who were on the stage with him. (Well, in all fairness, maybe he’s been working all his life to forget about Eric.) Newsmax host Rob Schmitt thinks the DHS Secretary can be impeached for breaking not laws, but laws Newsmax would like to see. And besides the foolishness of the GoFundMe to pay the now $466 Million Trump owes the state of New York, there’s a hidden reveal inside the boilerplate at the website (“My name is Elena Cardone, and I am a wife of Grant Cardone”) that suggests the right may have another “Moms For THAT Kind of Liberty Wocka-Wocka” scandal in its bed. the Wocka-Wocka-Wocka-meister himself C-BLOCK THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: Well we started on baseball spring training yesterday. Let’s continue. Let me tell you the tale of day I paid cash to suppress a story that would have rocked the World Series — the most famous pitcher in the game had gotten within inches of a fight, with a fan of his own team, and I made sure ... nobody saw the video. Good morning, good afternoon, good night, and good luck!
