Lawrence O'Donnell on The President's lust for vengeance

Lawrence: Trump-endorsed primary losses show Trump might not pick the next GOP presidential nominee

 RantWoman appreciates both Lawrence O'Donnell's wisdom and the narrative he sometimes shares about different phases of his career. 

RantWoman enjoys imagining Mr. O'Donnell as a young Senate staffer and thinking about all he has seen and spoken about.

Enjoy the video and catch a RantWoman aside on the other side.

As an aside

RantWoman for eccentric reasons is observing the #SCsen #GOP runoff between Darline Graham (Nordone) and Roger Norman. RantWoman Has Opinions. For now suffice it to say, to RantWoman after watching a whole lot of candidates endorsed by President #StableGenius lose in their primaries, after watching the President sink and sink and sink in the polls, it must be hard to stay someone's friend and still try to chart a course that is good for the country and for one's state.

Even if a Democratic candidate looks good, RantWoman also HATES a sense of being extorted: "Vote for the Democrats or else." RantWoman is still angling for a sense of a Congress willing to work on serious problems, not just get mad and go out of town whenever things get too hard. Plus, RantWoman does not care whether it sounds sexist to say that it would just be cool for once to have strong women candidates from both parties. 

OK, RantWoman has a vivid imagination, and does not vote in SC and ...

Speaking of a 25th anniversary: words from an official "Emotional Support Canadian"

 Tod Maffin, RantWoman's favorite "emotional support canadian" speaking about Gander Newfoundland, the most famouse but apparently not the only Canadian city that received planes that could not land in the US on September 11, 2001.

RantWoman will probably try to produce some anniversary reflections and does not even want to speculate about what will come from other directions.

And more random Tod Maffin

JD Vance is an idiot, and I have the data to prove it. 

Data Centers are electoral poison

 #AI #China #DataCenters

RantWoman is heartened by all the local communities rising up and fighting to keep data centers AWAY.

Aside from general peeves about electricity and water demands, noise and pollution, RantWoman has the following serious beefs with AI showing up EVERYWHERE.

--A lot of the time, RantWoman does not, Not, NOT want multiple lines of description pablum. She just wants a direct link to what the organization she is searching for chooses to say THEMSELVES.

--RantWoman already has plenty to read / filter in her email. RantWoman does not, Not, NOT need Gemini adding more verbiage to wade through.

--RantWoman does not, Not, NOT want AI help in composing obituaries about RantMom. RantWoman wants clear pricing based on word counts and the time and space to edit her own dang postings and / or more importantly to experience the thrills of sibling bonding while collaborating with Little Sister.

And one more thing: rare books are ARTIFACTS in their own right and deserve protection from the barbarians at Amazon who cut them apart to feed into their AI models.

Adult Diapers and a catering truck

#Ableism #DonSnoreleone #DiaperDon

If you have already heard as much as you care to of the President having to skulk out of the real #AirForceOne on a catering truck and fly to England in a different plane with no call sign and don't want the joy of a RantWoman rant about ableism, feel free to go chase other elements of the plane story somewhere else.

RantWoman's basic points:

--Impressive, respectful comments about both Pesidents Roosevelt and the Biden doing travel in spite of infirmities, challenges.

--Whatever the current President's medical issues with his digestive and excretory systems, he clearly has had the issues for a long time. RantWoman HOPES he is deeply embarrassed about them but also sincerely wishes that someone in his life would help him manage better than is currently occurring. The President would still be an odious individual but MAYBE he would stink less.

--Worst of all, on top of the ableist mockery, the US SUPPOSEDLY decimated Iran's military capacity. But President #Stablegenius STILL had to be moved to an incognito plane. Of COURSE. Of Course!
