It will always be a mystery how anyone with more than two brain cells and even a shred of integrity could possibly consider supporting a liar, cheat, convicted fraud, convicted sexual offender, insurrectionist, and traitor like Donald Trump. It simply makes no sense whatsoever.
I forced myself to sit through all three of his debates with HRC and was absolutely shocked at his mental state then. He couldn't track & engaged in word salad. When HRC said he was Putin's puppet, he could only come back with "you're the puppet, you're the puppet" like a Kindergartener. I mean - I knew he was POS even before The Apprentice but.....holy shit. He's such a tool. Vlad's tool! GOP=Trump=Putin IMHO
Most welcome and thanks for yours. Many more like it including a Goldwater piece at CNI. The APA must be held to account for enabling trump's "mask of sanity."
I saw a funny tweet yesterday that said - I pulled too hard while making the bed and my hand slipped and I just accidentally punched myself in the face. This must be how republican women feel like when voting. Lol!
“Comedy reaches people who may not watch the news.” So true Dean! Even back in the day, corporate media wasn’t so great, so my husband and I were drawn to shows like SNL, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, The Colbert Report, L’il Bush, etc., there were some great ones! I guess we were getting news items from those outlets subconsciously! The delivery of (factual) news through a comedic lens broke down the facts for us in a digestible way, so we could absorb what was really happening within any subject. Comedy has always existed to be a brilliant voice for the truth.
Corporate media is doing everything in their power to keep Trump and the MAGAs relevant. They love the clicks. The love the eyeballs. They love being able to write lazy nonsense about Trump and they love slamming Joe Biden. But the time is coming that Trump will be so obviously lost mentally and physically that they won't be to cover it up much longer. And let's hope it happens soon enough to change the coverage before it's too late...if it isn't already.
This is why I don't click on anything related to tfg except past stuff related to current situations to reference continued BS (like Weisselberg perjury after getting sweetheart deal 5mo instead of 5yrs) but I do click on Biden💙 articles to give clicks where deserved.
There are so many things which trump has said that must be repeated and replayed, over and over. For example, the "I only want 11780 votes", and a horrible one "I want the economy to fail in 2024" and the list is vast. This flim flam artist, narcicistic con man must not get a break from anyone or any news source.
Important questions that ineffective corporate media should be asking instead of putting greed and power above the public's good. Are they aware of their own negligence?" #NoFascistUSA #VoteBlueEveryElection
I wondered the same thing but quite frankly I didn’t totally know whether it was her in person. I get my news from the radio and watch only Netflix on the telly. Then I’m in bed long before SNL anyway. But it’s good to be able to see it now, and I think the consensus is that at least she is a rational human being.
I know not much about her except she voted to ban abortion and insists the civil war wasn’t about slavery. In other words she’s a trash human being. Regarding being rational, if that means rationalizing slavery, then sure. SNL got a lot of heat on Twitter for her appearance last night. Good for you not watching MSM tv. Neither do I.
There is NO MSM tv…almost every single media conglomerate is own by the yltra right. You can look up ultimate ownership of all the main stations, NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, FAUX etc. On some, they may seem to be better than others but it’s more about what they DON’T Report.
Hey Lorraine. I just read a great editorial by Max Boot in my local paper. Then I wanted to know more about him and saw him interviewed. He’s warning everyone and makes a brilliant case. Check him out for rationality.
Where is the Binder? What happened the classified documents from the empty MaraLogo folders? What did Senator Rand Paul deliver to Moscow for Trump? Trump has been a Russian fan at least since 1984 when when Trmp and wife Ivana visited Moscow.
YEAH DEAN -- BUT THAT IS ALWAYS THE CASE. "sTRATEGERY" CAME FROME SNL -- THE OED TRIED TO TRACE IT. TINA FEY WAS MCCAIN'S VP, NOT SARAH. FATWAH WILL BE EXPOSED SOON -- NO WORRIES!
Wow. Yes absolutely he should be live on tv making a fool of himself debating Haley. And he should be live on tv in all of his criminal cases.
Isn’t it something that the comedy news shows like John Oliver and Stephen Colbert always nail it? Hopefully more will pay attention. We desperately need accountability and democracy.
Can anyone explain to me why all these Republicans who live in fear of Trump don’t get together and decide as a whole to stop being bullied by him? There is strength in numbers so why does one person have such a hold on so many people in Washington? This is not a rhetorical question. I really want to understand why they don’t work together to stand up to him.

Alarmingly some fully grasp how vile Trump is and love it. That's the harsh reality.

This Dr. Bandy X. Lee approved piece should help make sense of it all. In short, the answers we have been seeking are psychological. https://samray.substack.com/p/trumpism-is-narcissism
thanks for this! Also led me to read this from Oct/Nov 22 but still very much applicable: https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2022/08/donald-trump-violence-mental-health-dangerous-jan-6-fbi-mar-a-lago-civil-war-bandy-lee-psychiatry-goldwater-rule/

Specially women, considering how the GOP/party of trump has declared war on their bodies and their health decisions!

Very glad Jon Stewart is back!!

Shire-we all need to do this. Great idea
Thank you, every little bit helps, I hope! 💙
The media continues to fail us
The media is fully complicit

Great points! Can you envision a way he could be forced to debate (in addition to general public pressure?)
The why behind the gaffes is obvious.
He's completely senile.
The why behind the rejection of democratic norms is also obvious.
He's a fascist authoritarian.
SNL is so funny! Such stunning and brave comedy, definitely not clapter for corporate causes: https://yuribezmenov.substack.com/p/how-to-tell-a-joke-comedy-clapter-cringe-snl
How can polls still show Trump ahead of Biden?? I just can’t even…
Because the right wingers control the message. They own all of the major media companies. This is as big of a battle for us as trump himself.
It’s weird you don’t question SNLs poor judgement giving Nikki Haley a platform.
I wondered the same thing but quite frankly I didn’t totally know whether it was her in person. I get my news from the radio and watch only Netflix on the telly.

Agreed. They've been allowed to create a monopoly of the news.

Will look it up thanks Katharine🙏🏻💙
The enemy of my enemy…let the republicans eat their own…it helps

I call T-Rump that because he is the biggest ass since T-Rex.
