SERIES 2 EPISODE 114: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN

A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: Because this is the way to overcome a record stock market high, universal employment, and the suspicion that he's an insane treasonous rapist in some kind of mental health crisis who'll be in jail before Inauguration Day, Trump has now declared "Holy War" against... Taylor Swift.

It's SWIFT BOAT '24!

Fear that she will again endorse Biden (to say nothing of a string of self-negating conspiracy theories about fixed Super Bowls and long-term psy-ops) has provoked the fascists to plan to smear the megastar the way Trump has smeared E. Jean Carroll, Hillary Clinton, Judge Chutkan, and every other woman who has ever stood in the way of something he thought life owed him. That the list of women he's treated as not quite human should range from Hillary to Taylor to E. Jean is not a stretch. There are many things desperately mentally wrong with Dementia J. Trump but his virulent antipathy towards women - and the misogynistic cancer he has spread within his cult - is as bad as anything else.

The far right is ready for battle, though. Trump reportedly is confident he's more popular and has more fans and deserved "Person Of The Year" honors more than Swift did. His functional idiot Jack Posobiec has gotten up in front of people and said no, the Trump Death Cult may not have Taylor Swift, but it has Kid Rock and Ted Nugent! And then he ran out of names and somebody shouted "and Jon Voight!" and clearly like me, he was surprised to discover that Jon Voight is still with us.

B-Block (22:15) POSTSCRIPTS TO THE NEWS: More details from the latest "Moms For Liberty" scandal: the head Moms For Liberty plied her "favorite" underaged boy with liquor than sat on his lap - at her daughter's birthday party, prosecutors allege. (27:31) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: The New York Times and The Athletic just hired away a dishonest Sports TV/Business reporter. Maria Bartiromo thinks DEI killed the servicemen in Jordan (or was she thinking about DUI) and Elon Musk does nothing as a clown named Shawn McBreairty doxxes a Secretary of State ON Twitter-X.

C-Block (30:44) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: Speaking of misogyny, did I ever tell you about the future president of MSNBC insisting to me that they'd never hire Rachel Maddow because the audience would never accept a WOMAN doing the POLITICAL NEWS!
