Team Dark Brandon should hire you, like yesterday. Honestly some of the best f’ing writing on the planet. Thanks for all the imagery on this Sunday morning. Preach!

Couldn't agree more. With the very disturbing report on Face the Nation this morning showing Trump with a 5% lead, the real news about what's really happening at the border needs to be put out there front and center. This sensationalized bullshit is what many voters are eating up. The fact that the GOP is purposely sabotaging additional border security to help their felonious fucked up false idol is more of their blatant desperate attempt to give us four more years of pure hell and incompetence.

Don't buy into the poll bullshit. Look at the facts, like the South Carolina primary. Blew away all the erroneous pills. The MSM wishes that this is a close race, and tries to make it APPEAR that way. But, nah.

I try not to and the South Carolina primary is a great example. It's just upsetting as hell that Trump gets this publicity rather than Biden's numerous accomplishments.

I think that the Biden camp needs to start advertising hard and heavy on Fox news. Fox needs the revenue, and maybe, just maybe, something that resonates with people will get through the thick skulls of their viewers.

Better yet, look at the New Hampshire primary, where Joe won without even being on the ballot!

Maybe we should have another poll to vote for Tucker Carlson to be permanently have his US citizenship taken away for treason for going to Moscow to get paid to betray America on the Russian news

The coverage of this campaign season is giving me flashbacks to 2012, when, especially near the end, the MSM played up the horse race story line and Romney's chances of success and kept repeating reports of surges in his numbers that turned out to be skewed internal GOP polls made public to keep his campaign's spirits up. Also, MSM has learned less than nothing from 2016 and is again gleefully using Trump's three-ring-circus to boost their ratings with no regard to unintended consequences. I don't mean for a second to suggest Trump can't/won't win, just that we're not seeing much in the way of honest or well-intended journalism going on.

Great read. It explains exactly what we are looking at. Jaded news. The NYT along with the rest of MSM, is bitch slapping Biden at every opportunity.

PURRFECTLY spoken, Judy! Thanks for adding more comments to my already loaded brain with HORRIBLE images of the NAZI PARTY of 'merica, even tho At 86 yo, I have NEVER VOTED FOR A RETHUG since I got the vote in 1955. Have not missed a local or national election BLUE vote since, either. BLUE THRU AND THRU! WILL live to vote for BIDEN/HARRIS and all Dems down the ballot, on NOV 5, 2024.

IF MSN had reported accurately in 2019-2020, we MIGHT not have been in the middle of this whole Big Lie BS. In fact, if they had reported accurately, Jan 6 MIGHT not have happened, or been what the Republicans keep saying it was, a peaceful demonstration. But no, MSN had to keep people upset and scared and clicking away or glued to their TVs.

Cancel, end, trash Face the Nation and Meet the Press. They are as bad as Fox. A couple of high school freshman could put forth serious mature honest news. I stopped watching them years ago they’re slanted stale information is sad.

Sheesh, yes I get so frustrated the few times I’ve watched it. The Elise Stefanik interview was horrible; giving her all that airtime to tell so many lies.

It was sickening. Allowing her to refer to the insurrectionists as hostages with no strong correction, is unforgivable

Most of the pro-Trump trolldots I see these days hang out primarily on FB, discounting Trump's idiot media site and RWNut sites. Jeff's message is seen on Twitter and here... his message needs to be where the Trump trolldots can't avoid seeing it, as well, like FB. It would put them in STFU mode and make quite a number of them put their thinking caps on.

I really think these rallies are dating opportunities for bigots. They're lonely and this is something they look forward to. It's an event. I don't think they are that deep. It's a good old fashioned KKK rally. I'm sure they're are molded jello salads, with a side of beans, weenies and grape Jelly. Fun for the whole family.

Hi Jeff, I wanted to remind our fellow travelers that Tucker Carlson, Putin’s water boy, is visiting Moscow hoping to interview Vlad, and wish him all the best as he seems to be an intermediary between Vlad and Donald. Personally I think the US should ban the entry of Tucker back in America “ until we can figure out what he was up to”. I don’t believe we will be a safe country if we allow him back in. On the other hand I read where Vlad wants to establish the Villages of Moscow to lure MAGAS to resettle in Moscow, all white, all Christian, all MAGAS.. I suppose Tucker could be mayor🤮

Since "The Rapture" has, so far, been a non-starter, I guess this is the next best thing. What's Tucker gonna do, narrowcast from Red Square, his home base? It would be a shame if he FELL out of a six-story window, though, just a godammed shame.

Expand full comment

Tucker doesn't give a flying fuck about Russia or anything else for that matter. He's searching for relevance. Nobody wants him. Putin isn't going to meet with that piss-ant. He's screaming please notice me. He reeks of desperation. He always sounds like someone is squeezing his nuts when he talks.

Most of those idiots live nowhere near the border. The folks who actually go to the border are all shocked to see that it is absolutely nothing like the liars on tv and congress say.

If you were wondering back in the 80’s and 90’s what all those cuts to public education were going to do, you’re lookin’ at it! I laughed a LOT reading this, but it’s not so funny.

Exactly the point. When we lose sight of teaching truth and value truths then yes I coined Gumpism. I agree with your statement. No disrespect intended to the pure innocence of the character but how at that time it became another story coined to glorify our failure for doing something right for the right of what is the most honorable which is the teach and reward honest education

Carol, nailed it. Goes back to Ronnie: trickle down?? Nothing of substance trickled down: education, healthcare, tax breaks … so the leaders encouraged the trickle-eees to GO PRAY!! Things kept getting worse so they only recourse was to pray on it, pray for salvation and the Second Coming. They continue to be conned. Can’t think logically or critically. Can’t think why their lives suck.

Can’t reason why they are dead-ended. Let’s see !! Whose fault is that? People of color. Certain ethnic or religious groups. Educated people. Urban residents…. It a the fault of everyone who is “not me.”

I have no clue how this scourge will resolve

I agree with you, 100%, Mark. I don't have the numbers of the many times GOP has voted AGAINST border funding, border agents, etc. but that has to be shown - show the YEAs and NAYs (it's startling). Also, include in the address how POTUS has worked to fix the border crisis (ht to @keithedwards for these):

- he *actually* got Mexico to pay the USA $1.5B towards border security.

- secured more resources for border security than any other President

- deployed the most agents ever — more than 23,000

- prevented record levels of illicit fentanyl from entering our country

- migrants were more likely to be released after a border arrest under Trump than Biden.

- President Biden’s DHS is removing 3.5 times more as many people per month as Trump’s DHS did.
