CBS sucks, ABC commits a journalism — and other tales from the Sunday shows
and Donny is losing bigly — and he knows it
it’s looking more and more like Bari Weiss’ grand scheme to clownfuck CBS’s once-respected news department into irrelevancy is working out splendidly — for her.
two weeks ago, she invited President I Brought Visual Aids onto 60 Minutes and allowed him to tell one unchallenged lie after another. everyone laughed at the very good boy who ended all the wars.
yesterday, CBS’s crimes against journalism continued on Face the Nation.
Margaret Brennan to Tom Suozzi: “can you explain the focus this past week in the House by Democrats on the Jeffrey Epstein files? is this a tactic to distract from the failure to extract healthcare changes?”
wait a minute, wait just a fucking minute. how is the release of Donny’s Dead Pedo Bestie Files a ‘Democratic distraction’?
did Bari Weiss write this question herself? did Karoline Leavitt? it’s a legit thing to wonder, because ‘Democrat distraction’ is pure, unadulterated right-wing framing — and Margaret Brennan is only too willing to play along.
can we just back up her a second and check a few facts? would that be okay with you, Margaret? first of all, it’s a Republican — Tom Massie — who’s behind releasing the files. it’s his legislation the House will be voting on this week.
secondly, it’s also a Republican — James Comer Fudd, the rakesteppingest fuckwit in Congress — who released the 20,000 Epstein documents that we all just spent days salivating over.
let’s not forget: Democrats are the minority party. they control exactly zero branches of government. they can’t set any agendas. we just saw them all try and fail in the Senate. nothing happens in government right now unless the Republicans let it happen. so shut the fuck up about how ‘the Democrats are creating a distraction,’ Margaret.
and let’s also not forget what’s at the core of this Epstein saga: a bunch of rich and powerful degenerates spent years raping children — and the sitting president of the United States may very well have been a willing participant. at the very least, he knew what was going on.
isn’t that news, Margaret? might not that be a topic worthy of discussion on Face the Nation? so why is it being dismissed as a ‘Democratic distraction’?
maybe there needs to be a new What The Fuck Is Wrong With You Challenge™.
maybe the first Democrat to ask Margaret Brennan ‘what the fuck is wrong with you’ should, I don’t know, get to be Speaker of the House.
now here’s what it looks like when a Sunday host actually commits a journalism.
White House Energy Vampire Colin Robinson Kevin Hassett appeared on ABC This Week — and the second he started lying, host Jonathan Karl shut that shit right down.
Karl: “the president claims that Thanksgiving costs are down 25%. does he know that’s not true?”
Hassett: “well if you look at Walmart—”
Karl: “wait a minute. I’ve gotta stop you, because the Walmart comparison is like— I mean, Walmart had a Thanksgiving package last year, they’ve got a Thanksgiving package this year. the one this year contains much less than the one last year. that’s why the price is less. we’ve got a chart here. last year it was 21 total products. this year it’s 15. total number of items in those packages were 29, now it’s 22. there’s more generic brand stuff. so I mean, Thanksgiving, if you’re going to the store to buy groceries for Thanksgiving, it’s going to be more expensive.”
Hassett: “I don’t understand where you’re going.”
this is how it’s done. Jonathan Karl so thoroughly dismantled Colin Robinson’s Kevin Hassett’s argument that all he could do was whine ‘I don’t understand where you’re going.’ it’s so unfair of Karl to fact-check Hassett in real-time.
oh, boo fucking hoo.
thank you to Karl for skewering the latest White House talking point. thank you for wiping the self-satisfied smirk right off Kevin’s insipid face.
Karl and his production staff knew this line of bullshit was coming — they even had a graphic prepared in advance. that’s committing a journalism.
this slight-of-hand fuckery where a corporation sells you less but pretends it’s more is a thing economists call ‘shrinkflation.’
it’s also right out of 1984 — the bit where the government reduces the chocolate ration from 30 to 25 grams, while announcing they’ve raised it from 20 to 25 grams — and a nation beaten down by years of institutionalized lying goes ‘yay, government!’
back in 2024, Kamala Harris campaigned on fighting corporate shrinkflation — but voters were all ‘we hate your laugh,’ so now we’re stuck with an administration that openly welcomes corporate thievery.
lucky us.
now let’s hear from poor, beleaguered soybean farmer Scott Bessent.
“Maria, the beef market is a very specialized market. it goes in long cycles. and, that, this is the perfect storm. again, something we inherited. and there’s also, because of the mass immigration, a disease that had been— we’d been rid of in North America made its way up through South America as these migrants brought some of their cattle with them.”
you all heard Soybean Scott say that, right? I didn’t just imagine that, did I?
this fabulating fuck just claimed that beef prices are spiking because immigrants are bringing diseased cattle with them from South America — across thousands of miles, on foot.
is there a Nobel Making Shit Up Prize? because I think Scott just won it, hands down.
Scott, I have question: how did these migrants get their cattle over Donny’s big, beautiful border wall?
did the French lend them their cow catapult?
you’ll notice that Soybean Scott went on Fox to spew this nonsense, because he knew that Maria Bartiromo would just nod her head thoughtfully and go ‘oh, okay.’
any other Sunday host would have burst out laughing, and told Scott to fuck straight off — even Margaret Brennan.
and, because their viewers are brainwashed shitwits who believe everything they hear on Fox, don’t be surprised when next week at Thanksgiving, your drunk uncle corners you and starts lecturing you on the Great Migrant Cattle Drive of ’25.
finally, let’s look at what a losing loser looks like when he loses bigly.
here’s a thing that Donny Convict shat out onto his crappy app last night.
“As I said on Friday night aboard Air Force One to the Fake News Media, House Republicans should vote to release the Epstein files, because we have nothing to hide, and it’s time to move on from this Democrat Hoax perpetrated by Radical Left Lunatics in order to deflect from the blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah—”
I’m sorry, I had to stop transcribing Donny’s fever-swamp nonsense, because I when I got to ‘radical left lunatics,’ I started rolling my eyes so hard that I sprained my neck.
but look what Donny’s doing here. he’s trying to pretend that he’s always been in favor of releasing the Dead Pedo Bestie files — and Donny can fuck straight off with that nonsense. it was just last week that he dragged Handy Oakley into the White House Situation room at tried to bully her into changing her vote to release the files from yes to no.
so why is Donny boasting that he just raised the chocolate ration from 20 grams to 25?
it’s because he knows he’s lost. the House is going to pass Massie’s legislation this week, and there are going to be a shit-ton of Republican voting in favor of it. so now Donny has to get in front of this story — and act like it was his idea in the first place — so that everyone doesn’t point at him and go ‘ha ha, loser.’
it’s like demanding that the sun rise in the east and then, when it does, proclaiming ‘I did that, with my mind.’
Donny has to bark ‘release the Epstein Files’ and then strut about, going ‘I’m the king, I’m the king, everyone has to do what I say,’ because he’s the most broken-inside bottomless pit of need ever to crap a diaper in the Oval Bordello.
how pathetic is that?
ha ha!
here’s your daily reminder that I can be found on Blue Sky at this link.
this is going to be my closing message for the foreseeable future:
practice self-care. do what you need to do to keep sane. if that means you need to disengage with my daily posts for a while, I get it. this community of ours will still be here when you return.
to all the people who have signed on in the days since the election, welcome aboard. settle in as we all try to deal with the shitfuckery that’s ahead of us.
we are all in this together, and we are all here for each other.

so, something I didn't care to write about in my post, but am curious about.
yesterday, Sporky went on CNN and said "I would like to say, humbly, I'm sorry for taking part in the toxic politics."
https://www.threads.com/@aaron.rupar/post/DRHvidLiQ5C
do we believe her? do we forgive her?
(me, I'm a hard 'nah' on both questions)
For all MAGA: If he’s innocent, why would releasing the Epstein files ruin his presidency? 🤔
