Get well soon Michelangelo and happy you are home.
I am concerned by what some Democrat Congress members are saying about the incoming Trump administration. They are saying that Trump's cabinet nominees have some good ideas and they can work with them. I say they should resist everything Trump tries to do. There is no common ground with Fascism. Working with Trump's sycophants will give the appearance that the Trump administration is normal when they will be the exact opposite. There is nothing normal about Project 2025 which will be the policy of the Trump administration.
Exactly. Do not normalize this administration and fascism. I don't care how many people voted for him. It doesn't make it normal. And working them legitimizes their extremism.
Welcome home, Michelangelo. I'm so sorry you are ill. That is shitty when you're traveling and having to stand in lines with others coughing and sneezing all around you. Sick or not, you come out of the gate with a strong message. We must not obey in advance, and we must fight the Magats and Rethuglicans at every turn. These nominees are grifters and/or nuts. They do not belong in any position that affects our way of life and safety.
Thank you! Yes all grifters and we need to see the Democrats fighting, as I discussed with joe Sudbay yesterday on my show. Everyone needs to be putting the pressure on.
Democrats can't work with Fascists. Everything bad is blamed on immigrants. It's disgraceful. I see farm workers bent over picking berries here in central FL. Who is going to do that work at a low wage? They will all have bad backs from being bent over 10 hours per day. Let's see RepubliKkkans do that work!!
Best wishes and get well soon, Michel. That sucks to be in the City of Lights with your partner, and then, The Crud hits. Paris always sounds so lovely from here in the Northwest, where Paris would be at least 8 hours away and Hawaii is 5 hours. But hey, we could always fly to Vegas and watch a cybertruck burn up! That's probably the most exciting thing to happen in front of any Trump hotel for years.
Jason Linkins at The New Republic has given us a new term for the incoming "Administration". The term is Enshittification. "Enshittification was recently defined by the Macquarie Dictionary as 'the gradual deterioration of a service or product brought about by a reduction in quality of the service provided', and as a consequence of profit-seeking."
So it is fitting that Trump is teaming up with techbro goons, in particular Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy on the next big enshittification project: ruining the federal government.
The federal government typically gets a bad rap from the media, who often depict it as a faceless, bloated, and lethargic bureaucracy. But as Michael Lewis documented in his book The Fifth Risk, as well as a series of stories along similar lines he curated last year at The Washington Post, the civil service is a hive of innovation driven by brilliant, hardworking Americans. Our army of loyal public servants does a lot of important, quiet work—from key medical and scientific research to pollution mitigation to chasing down tax cheats and protecting consumers to keeping our food and medicine safe.

That was a direct quote from Mr. Linkins' article in TNR.
I find Enshittification so fitting for everything that Trump and his minions touch.
Onward, MS and loyal fans, and let's face Them head-on this month!
Oh goodness, Michelangelo, I hate to hear you’re are sick! Please keep drinking plenty of fluids. I’m a nurse at a VA in Kentucky. There is plenty of Flu A and Covid here. Feel better.
Welcome back Michel, I hope YOU get BETER real soon, I missed YOU. Looking forward to hearing all your wonderful perspectives on the "trumpian horror era" we are about to experience, keep US focused/sane, my man.
Hope you are back 100% come Monday, because that’s when I’m ready to come out of my holiday coma and start paying attention again. The tragedy in New Orleans is awful and the immediate reaction from the RW Trash News was pathetic. We only have a few more days of normal before all hell breaks loose. I’m so glad Biden will still be President as the nation says good bye to President Carter, along with flags still flying at half-staff when dump is swarm in. I will not be watching any news during that week.
Thank you Christopher. This is the place we ALL should be at, regardless of those who say doing anything would be futile. Now he has also been sentenced by Juan Marchan, a NY judge who understands the meaning of law, and justice. We ALL need to follow the lead of this fearless judge, who is a true hero.
Happy New Year Michelangelo! Glad you’re feeling better. Nothing sucks more than having to fly sick.
The Democrats cannot work with the Republicans anymore. Period. They need to stick together to oppose the orange menace’s nominees. RFK jr is a crackpot who should not have any say in health related matters. Any nominee who even has the hint of project 2025 aroma on them must be opposed and President Musk and his BFF Ramaswamy need to be called out by the Dems for what they are; the real folks running this shit show.
Glad you’re feeling better Michelangelo, and that you’re back home, safe and sound. This weekend will give you a chance to rest and recuperate.
I agree with you about Dems “obeying in advance” and how we need to loudly speak out against the proposed cabinet; each and every nominee is a liability and a danger.
Happy and healthy new year to all of our SR readers and writers.🌞

Luckily I only got sick on the day we left, so it didn't affect my vacation. Though it was not a fun fide home!
I've liked enshitification!
Thank goodness it was on the last day if it had to happen! Rest up, feel better.

Thank you Ray. I'll be on the air today hosting the show. You may have to put up with the occasional cough though!

Take care, looking forward to your show again.
Heal up my friend, we need you strength, your critical thinking skills and your humor.
Happy New Year to all.
Feel better, Mike. Stinks to be sick.

Get ready for the incoming “Trump” administration and the 5 Cs it will activate…. Confusion, Chaos, Crises, Corruption and Collateral Consequences .
Happy New Year and Get Well Soon.
Even in a fever haze you make 100% Sense.
