Welcome to The Now

 The self-proclaimed "Home of Progressives" have a plethora of connections to the very establishment they claim to challenge .  Puts Cenk Uygur's misinformation campaign about #ForceTheVote into perspective, huh? 

 Via TexasMonthly : The  wedding photographer had already spent an hour or two inside with the unmasked wedding party when one of the bridesmaids approached her. The woman thanked her for still showing up, considering “everything that’s going on with the groom.” When the photographer asked what she meant by that, the bridesmaid said the groom had tested positive for the coronavirus the day before. “She was looking for me to be like, ‘Oh, that’s crazy,’ like I was going to agree with her that it was fine,” the photographer recalls. “So I was like, ‘What are you talking about?’ And she was like, ‘Oh no no no, don’t freak out. He doesn’t have symptoms. He’s fine.’” The photographer, who has asthma and three kids, left with her assistant before the night was over. Her exit was tense. The wedding planner said it was the most unprofessional thing she’d ever seen. Bridesmaids accused her of heartlessly ruining an innocent woman’s wedding day. She recalls one bridesmaid telling her, “...

 Anyone who knows Jimmy Dore knows that for the longest time he has pushed for policies like Medicare For All and raising the minimum wage to $15/hr. In his latest push for the former, he is challenging the members of the Progressive Caucus (a group within the Democratic Party) to pressure Nancy Pelosi with an ultimatum: bring M4A up for a vote or risk losing the Speakership.  Apparently Dore's calls are beginning to resonsate, because Variety has a piece entitled, " Political Commentator Jimmy Dore Buys Rambling L.A. Compound ."  In other words: "Guy who claims to simply be a pot-smoking comedian who used to tell dirty jokes to drunks before broadcasting a show from his garage is actually part of the elite group he chastises on a regular basis."  

 Based on what the Director of the Borat sequel told Insider , Rudy Giuliani's involvement was prime focus. The director goes on to say that after the clips went viral, it all but discredited Giuliani's attempts to attack Hunter Biden, which in turn would have hampered Joe Biden.  With one less thing to worry about, Biden was able to win the Electoral College by a less-than-projected margin.  Nevertheless, let's not forget that being a white heterosexual Catholic male protected Biden from attacks that would linger on other candidates for a longer period of time. 

 With Joe Biden soon to be our next president, the question posed to the Left is now, "Who will go back to sleep?" The answer to that will be based on how the Left deals with the TYT problem. The problem? Well, with TYT's over 5 million followers, they are North Star, and with Uygur all but endorsing Neera Tanden to run the OMB there are bound to be some soul-searching and pushback. Secular Talk and Humanist Report have already weighed in on the Tanden story. Convo Couch has rightly highlighted Uygur's take . I'm sure Jimmy Dore, Status Coup, Graham Elwood and Ron Placone will also say something. Whether or not they mention Uygur's take is up in the air, and that's a problem. (well, not for Elwood and Placone; they don't really have ties to the guy) Kyle Kulinski and Jimmy Dore are friends with Uygur; Kulinski started Justice Democrats with Uygur and Dore was with TYT under "Aggressive Progressives."
