the orange satan is getting less funny by the day

He's been and continues to be a complete dick about Election Integrity and it's getting worse and so I think it may be bodhisattva work to scrutinize more carefully.

So there may be a number of updates to this post....

Some guy is flipping about his wealthy Salvadoran family, and has devoted a whole blog to it.

Well, and this is a total scream....

Sorry, guys, but: Moulitsas was born on September 11, 1971, in Chicago, IL. The son of a Salvadoran mother and Greek father, Moulitsas spent his formative years in El Salvador (1976-1980), where he saw first-hand the ravages of civil war. His family fled threats on their lives by the communist guerillas and settled in the Chicago area.

This means that his mother was from one of the few families that made up the oligarchy in El Salvador when the peasants rose up and ran them off [leaving only their death squads behind] in 1980. This does not mean that his mother or father is wealthy. It so happens I have known well the son of a Salvadoran oligarch daughter. If you are an oligarch daughter and you marry a foreigner, you are lucky the family lets you come to family functions. My friend was completely miserable about his fabulously wealthy cousins with everything while he had to sweat to make ends meet (and failed spectacularly I might add) because his mother had had the poor taste to marry an Irishman. So even if Francis is right about the family's holdings, and that Kos has had benefit of them in his life, it doesn't mean Kos was lying about his financial circumstances. My friend got to go to all the weddings and birthdays... and eat his heart out... which he certainly did... ad nauseam. It's pretty clear Kos is trying to stay low key about the fact that the ruling class is coursing through his veins. If you're billing yourself as a progressive, with bloodlines like that, you're going to want to be really careful.

Heh, so this could account for some of his fascistic instincts! But I'm getting the feeling that, really, messy shit like people getting caught rigging elections will completely screw with his carefully-laid basis for punditry, and this one thing may account fully for why he will not see any reason to suspect such dastardly deeds, despite mounds of proof that he should. This is seeming to be the reason he is actively trying to squash mention of the many indicators of election fraud over the last few elections. It is the height of ignobility, at least, but, well, maybe it's in his blood....
