POLITICAL COMMENTARY: “Barbara Boxer Makes a Fool of Herself on MSNBC by Dissing Bernie Sanders, and Praising Hillary Clinton” / The Humanist Report / Mike Figueredo ☮

Barbara Boxer was on MSNBC to talk about her book, and she was asked about Bernie Sanders’ remarks about California Governor Jerry Brown’s endorsement of Hillary Clinton. She said it’s laughable that Bernie Sanders thinks Brown is establishment. She said it’s even more laughable that Bernie Sanders thinks she’s establishment. She is.

POLITICAL COMMENTARY: “Susan Sarandon on Hillary Clinton’s Foreign Policy” / The Young Turks / Cenk Uygur, Ben Mankiewicz, and John Iadarola ☮

“Speaking with The Young Turks Politics Reporter Jordan Chariton in California, Sarandon made clear that she believed because of the lack of media scrutiny placed on Clinton’s record, she viewed Clinton as actually more dangerous than the blustery strong-man running on the Republican ticket.

“I believe in a way she is more dangerous,” Sarandon suggested without mentioning Trump’s name, after Chariton asked her why Clinton’s foreign policy went largely unchallenged during the Democratic primary.

“She did not learn from Iraq, and she is an interventionist, and she has done horrible things, and very callously, I don’t know if she is overcompensating or what her trip is,” Sarandon said, adding, “I think we’ll be in Iran in two seconds.”

“So I’m curious to see if anyone brings up these things,” she continued.

“But this is what we’re fed. ‘He’s so dangerous. He’s so dangerous,’” Sarandon said, shrugging off Trump’s most controversial rhetoric as too implausible to be considered a serious threat.

“Seriously I am not worried about a wall being built, he is not going to get rid of every Muslim in this country… but seriously, I don’t know what his policy is. I do know what her policies are, I do know who she is taking money from, and I do know that she is no transparent, and I do know that nobody calls her on it”

FINE ARTS – ROMANTIC POETRY: William Blake / “London” / 1794

William BlakeLONDON
1794

I wander thro’ each charter’d street,
Near where the charter’d Thames does flow.
And mark in every face I meet
Marks of weakness, marks of woe.

In every cry of every Man,
In every Infants cry of fear,
In every voice: in every ban,
The mind-forg’d manacles I hear

How the Chimney-sweepers cry
Every black’ning Church appalls,
And the hapless Soldiers sigh
Runs in blood down Palace walls

But most thro’ midnight streets I hear
How the youthful Harlots curse
Blasts the new-born Infants tear
And blights with plagues the Marriage hearse
