NYT and every other corporate media outlet longs for an extraordinarily expensive campaign. I believe that the greed of corporate media is the driving force behind much of the disinformation and division in the country. Why deflate false narratives when they make for competitive political contests…and competitive political contests make for higher media spending.
The constant media coverage of Donald Trump, driven by the economics of clicks and views, exemplifies the fatigue all of us feel with the endless focus on hate and greed.
Democrats could be described as the half full party and republicans the half empty party, the media points and says, lookit, They ARE the same! That’s right, optimism and pessimism, the same in the media’s eyes.
It is a surname primarily found in New England states as the Hoyt family was among the first settlers of Plymouth Rock. The Hoyt Street station is a local station on the IRT Eastern Parkway Line of the New York City Subway in Downtown Brooklyn
BREAKING – ELON TO BAIL OUT tRUMP. Trump has met with elon seeking mega bucks. Musk said Biden is too old and needs to be defeated. (musk claims he has never voted for republicans before) Donald says “Elon baby, you are my new sugar daddy, throw some of that environment loving cash in my direction. And elon baby, can you change your engines to gas, huh, what do you say, gas is good and together we will make oil king again, Huh elon, huh? Imagine how good it will be when I ban unions and eliminate all auto safety standards?”
Elon is about as crazy as trump. He and his racist oligarch buddies want a dictatorship. They are naive enough to think that somehow they will be able to control their chosen dictator, but if all if history has taught anything it is that once in power, the dictator will control the oligarchy. Ask Russia’s kleptocrats. Or go back and ask the German oligarchy soon after Heir Hitler took power. Or Rome’s ruling families after Caesar.
Kim, Kurt von Schleicher: Here's the poster boy of the German oligarchy getting his ass handed to him by "the clown", Hitler:
"Schleicher attempted to "tame" Hitler into cooperating with his government by threatening him with an anti-Nazi alliance of parties, the so-called Querfront ("cross-front"). Hitler refused to abandon his claim to the chancellorship and Schleicher's plan failed. Schleicher then proposed to Hindenburg that the latter disperse the Reichstag and rule as a de facto dictator, a course of action Hindenburg rejected.
On 28 January 1933, facing a political impasse and deteriorating health, Schleicher resigned and recommended the appointment of Hitler in his stead. Schleicher sought to return to politics by exploiting the divisions between Ernst Röhm and Hitler but on 30 June 1934 he and his wife Elisabeth were murdered on the orders of Hitler during the Night of the Long Knives. "
Kim, Precisely! Putin killed so many oligarchs. Just lost count the dead Russian tycoons. This 24 hour, two oligarch family massacre after the start of the war with Ukraine was truly brazen. For elites to think they can control their dictator monsters, it's hilarious. Lemmings.
His advisor/friend David Sacks turned him from a libertarian (which is bad enough) to a republican. Sacks is a Putin ball-gargler. Remember Elon's solution to end the Ukrainian invasion by giving Putin everything he wants? That was Sacks he posted it originally.
So, NOW Trump is supportive of immigration from a shithole country [assuming every country on the African continent qualifies for Trump's shithole status]. Interesting cuddle buddy. Actually, brilliant move on Trump's part. Flagrantly offering purchase of political favors and when executed, providing Elon with plenty of showy, in-your-face rebellion appeal. Trump knows how to detect another scumbag with bank.
When someone tells you and shows you over and over again, for their entire life, in business and in government, that they are not only traitors, but corrupt, ignorant, pathologically dishonest, coup-plotting, racist, misogynist traitors, then seriously, I’m not kidding about this, believe them!
It was reported last night that if Muskrat coughs up the dough that the insurrectionist imbecile so desperately needs, there could be violations related to some of the RICO laws. Shocking as hell as usual. Is there hardly ever a day that goes by that the rotten to the core asshole false idol of the GOP doesn't commit a crime?
We're dealing with a failed businessman who failed largely because he operated like a mob boss wannabe. You can't pull too much capital and income out of one business for whatever and expect it to keep operating.
He rattled out the Italian mobsters, working for the FBI all these years criming He is a Jekyll and his Hyde is leaking info on all the greatest chairs and sofas, built to last, but ruined because he came into contact with. He is a one man wrecking ball, let Elon Musky hitch his billions to him. He likes Losing big! 📉
I don’t know how Muskrat can afford to bail Trump out. He had to go begging to the Saudis & others when he was forced to honor the outrageous offer he made to buy Xitter. If he sells too much stock in Tesla at one time to raise cash, it causes the price to tumble & decreases his net worth drastically.
I’m more worried about this visit to Trump from Putin’s friendly autocrat Viktor Orban, & what message or cash he may be delivering. Also, what classified documents he may be returning home with from the stash that the traitor FBI agents intentionally left behind in that locked storage room & the ones in the hidden space behind an armoire that they failed to even discover because they didn’t search Mr Trump’s property as they would have searched other mob boss’s!!
I want to know who in the DOJ gave those FBI officers the permission to NOT break down that locked door to do a proper search???
They deserve each other and share the same credo. Fear and greed, the world’s two great motivators. Fear of the other. Fear of change. Fear of loss. Greed for power. Greed for money. Fear and greed.
No surprise there. Trump is ALSO old but he’s also a useful idiot. May Elon lose as much on Trump as he has on Twitter.
Regarding the Sniffleopagus, 385,000 people died in 2020 of covid. That doesn’t count carryovers into 2021 from 2020 incompetence. So, success? I guess a guy who can’t tell 13,000 square feet from 30,000 would call it a success.
“You cheat, you steal, you stuff your face. That’s you!” That’s Trump. Quote courtesy of “Crackers Don’t Matter”, a Farscape episode, and it plays in my head every time this dumb ass opens his mouth.
NO amount of cash from Musk to Trump will change my vote for Joe Biden. And anyone swayed from Joe Biden by any bullshit the Trump campaign pukes out over the next 243 days because of Musk's cash shouldn't even vote because they're WAY too stupid to do so.
I’m a Biden girl, I just would love to see Orange turd having to sell his assets in order to come up with the money, I really don’t want ELON helping him out
Elon is rich but doesn't seem like Saudi prince kind of rich to me, lots of his money is tied to his stock. Plus Elon always spreads himself thin between all his companies.
Elon can’t bail him out, he is way short on actual cash too. A subsidiary of Chubb Ins. put up the paltry 91M so DT could get started on that appeal. Wiessman says T probably needed a co-signer to guarantee that. If he wants to appeal the NY fraud conviction he’s going to need another 500M plus interest every day
This news was depressing. Donny will again slip through any criminal accountability and we’ll have another giant pay for play scandal that no one of importance will do anything about 🤬
Elon has stated he will not back any candidate for President. His two flights in to see Hitl- er, Trump, however are interesting. I’m certain Trump would try and entice him with lot$ of busine$$ perk$ when he becomes Presiden- er, King. Elon cannot “loan” him cash for his debts directly, but he can contribute to a Super Pac which has been Trump’s way to pay his legal debts.
musty can also give him valuable promotion time on 'shitterX'. Trump received billions in like kind promotion via cnn, faux and all the big "we only care about$'s" media corporations in both his runs for dick tater. Do we really think any thing good comes from a meeting of these two fascist?
We need to start calling them American Oligarchs, just like we do the Russian ones. When we say “Russian Oligarchs” it has a corrupt & evil connotation; the same needs to be applied to the American ones too
Here’s another story the press isn’t reporting: in state after state where republican voters are NOT all in for Trump, why is congress in lock step? Where are the follow-the-money gumshoes when you need them? Ghost of Deep Throat, if you’re listening please do a deep dive into the bank-account less Speaker, the congress people who’ve racked up Air Putin frequent flyer miles, and the payer-offer of Kavanaugh’s mortgage. It would be a great start into a true look at what the fuck is going on in East Russia, formerly known as the USA.
East Russia!! Perfect. On a side note, can MAGAs send mail-in ballots for Putin in his upcoming staged "election"? Surely a registered MAGA is at the very least an honorary Russian.
and we did a fantastic job on … that, we never got credit for that, unbelievable job on that, we came up with things that nobody thought was possible . . .
Trump can't even remember the word vaccine. His vocabulary is shrinking daily.
He never was a particularly eloquent speaker, and it hurts my brain trying to decipher his stream-of-consciousness ramblings. He reminds me of my nephew, at five years old, who was so happy to talk, he rambled on about whatever was in the room.
You used my favorite picture ever of a sad and defeated diaper man to start things off. And.... "Sundowning Grandpa Memoryhole"? Another winner. 😂😂 I didnt even other to watch the embarrassing hype last night. We all knew what the outcome would be. All we can hope for now is a massive coronary and an even massive-er voter turnout. PS. Sinema is smart enough to grab all the cash and still show her bad taste in appearance. 🤦♀️ Good riddance.
I didn’t bother to watch it either. It all came out as I expected, well, not the vote in American Samoa, but everything else. NPR is telling about the percentage of Haley voters who are voting against tfg. It’s close to two thirds.
I don't think they even get to vote in the General Election, or it doesn't count or something like that. WAY too lazy to look it up. It seems a little colonial of us -- "here, American Samoa, take your play votes and go in the other room."
Yep on good riddance to Sinema! We voted for her and it didn't take long for us to be so pissed off with how she screwed over all of us who saw her as someone who would do good things!!! Hoping like hell Ruben Gallego crushes Krazy Lake come Nov!
Sinema's betrayal of her constituents and the Democratic party that brought her to the dance was unreal. Total nightmare - voting rights, etc. lost. Her betrayal of her party was like looking up from the ledge, hanging by one's fingertips. Along comes Krysten Sinema, you inhale deeply, using all your strength to yell, "Krysten, over here. Thank God you found me!" And instead of running over and reaching down with a saving hand, she saunters over and smirks, "I can't be bought." while crushing your fingertips under her Doc Martens. Well, now it's our turn. Bye, bitch!
I wish she had not chosen to run for Senate yet. She knows how it works, she hasn’t been there long enough, & now she’s given up her seat in the House where she’s badly needed
Thanks as always Jeff. So great that Sinema can be off to pursue her dreams. Maybe clown college. However, more than likely, she can now officially be a lobbyist for some society harming industry, maybe big pharma, maybe oil and coal, maybe all of the above. She no longer needs to hide in the shadows.
Regardless, I'm guessing it won't be long before Kari Lake joins Aileen Cannon in the "I want to be the next Mrs. Donald Trump" contest ("The Prison Apprentice's Wife -coming this fall on NBC?")
While drunk driving is at best inadvisable, and at worst, as stupid as Marjorie Taylor Greene, if America continues to embrace drunk voting, we're going to have to turn in all of our nuclear weapons to a more responsible country. France just enshrined Women's reproductive rights in their Constitution (granted, we no longer care about any of the silly amendments to ours, especially none before or after the 2nd Amendment), perhaps France should hold on to our nukes until someone has a chance to hit Control-Alt-Delete and reboot the United States (and set the willfully ignorant flag to 'No."
Actually, I was afraid I was being mean to the neuro-divergent. But when people are voting for a senator, they should know that kind of diagnosis upfront.
I don't think neurodivergence is securely enough defined at this point to know what it actually means. It's really hard to measure how a brain functions and what “normal" is. Basically, I was making a joke.
Elon is an Aspie and doesn't understand social cues, he is also a troll who thrives on attention. He happens to be both but not all neurodivergent, are assholes as he is. That is to say he is an asshole in spite of being neurodivergent but there has to be a better way to explain it.
I'm still not over the denim vest, leggings, and whatever else there was when she "presided" over the Senate that ONE time. I assume all she did was issue hall passes.
The only super thing about Super Tuesday was Kyrsten Sinema's announcement. Nikki Haley will do a one-eighty and endorse Trump because she's above all, ambitious, and probably holds out hope for veep. Trump's already trying to make nice with her voters like he never cast them out of MAGA world because who in the Republican party gives a fuck about what anybody said yesterday?
As I’ve commented on other columns, I will bet that Donny Dumpster Fire doesn’t make it to Election Day. Whether broke, sick, dying, or just lost in the desert of his own mind, he won’t be there. He can’t handle another humiliating loss, and that’s where this whole thing is headed. The Repubs in Congress should get smart and design a Plan B. By going for broke with the TFG, they are writing their own obituaries. I’m here for that - all day!
Ok. Here in Arizona, I reply from these lowly heights! It’s a very good thing that Sinema has seen the light and come to Jesus on her chances for reelection. Now Arizonans need to get behind Ruben Gallegos in order to defeat that tRump harem member Kari Lake.
Krysten Sinema turned down her first threesome in her life when she decided not to run against kari “crazy lady” lake and Ruben Gallego, the Democratic nominee. Kari was agreeable to the threesome but Gallego said he would not join that clown act.
Has it come to this? Once heralded and respected newspaper publishers are somehow frightened of the Trump/MAGA crowd that they neglect to see the truth and report it?
Well? WP and NYT what do you have to say for yourselves? Huh? 🦗🦗🦗🦗
While the National News (CBS, ABC, NBC) don't seem to realize what a dumpster fire Chump is, many Republicans do and are acting on it. Those who worship the Toddler King will continue to worship him no matter what. As for the NYT, the fine people of New York have had 77 years of the disgraceful and repulsive Donald. He has not turned over any new leaves. In fact his tree is rotten up through the trunk and it is going to fall over in the next bad storm which is coming soon.
Back in 2016, I came to the conclusion that the ball cap wearing guys in the pick up trucks waving Trump flags were kind of hoping that if they hung out with their buddy Trump long enough, he would let them sleep with Melania.
I hope that Haley doesn't stoop so low as to approve Trump. Did he ever say anything nice about her after 2020? Like Liz Cheney, she is tagged as a female RINO. The Republicans are real good at condemning women. The GOP is not grand in any way now that it is the party of Trump and nothing but. Don't like it, you're out.
A true American horror story named Donald Trump. I look for him to lose the popular vote much worse than in 2016 and 2020 on my 73rd birthday November 5, 2024. He is already repeating the scam "rigged election" talk from the last time and will cry and scream about how unfair it is that the Supreme Ruler of the Universe is not universally adored.
BIG differences from 2020 and 2021: he will not be an incumbent, so all of his screaming and whining can be ignored; everyone will be ready for his MAGAts from November 5th on, especially on January 6th, January 20th, and throughout 2025 until he dies; his criminal trials WILL continue despite his claims that they're all about "election interference," and he will be convicted and go to prison where he belongs, again, until he dies. The rest of his miserable life is not pretty, and he brought it ALL on himself -- a slow, years-long suicide.
Maddow doesn’t really do political news anymore so much as she makes historical connections and introduces guests.
Points for critical thinking and personal magnetism, but it would improve her presentation if she’d let guests tell their own stories rather than stealing their thunder and asking whether she’d gotten it all correct and complete.
All that being said, yes, of course Rachel Maddow is brilliant.
It seems there are a lot of leaks in the GOP boat. There is a clear percentage of Republican voters that aren't down with the cult of Emperor Shitstain. Blue tsunami, anyone? I give Nikki about a month. Kirstin will soon be working in the circus fantasy room at the Bunny Ranch.
600,000 Virginians voted against The Criminal yesterday. 435,000 voted for him. The NYT is reporting, no doubt, why that's bad for Biden.
Let's grow and nationalize that margin.
NYT and every other corporate media outlet longs for an extraordinarily expensive campaign. I believe that the greed of corporate media is the driving force behind much of the disinformation and division in the country. Why deflate false narratives when they make for competitive political contests…and competitive political contests make for higher media spending.
The constant media coverage of Donald Trump, driven by the economics of clicks and views, exemplifies the fatigue all of us feel with the endless focus on hate and greed.
They miss the Orange Ogre, and us in a panic, doom-scrolling to see what horrible thing the insane toddler said or did.
Democrats could be described as the half full party and republicans the half empty party, the media points and says, lookit, They ARE the same! That’s right, optimism and pessimism, the same in the media’s eyes.
Half empty is quite generous.
I was a little bit curious Hoyt. Yours is not a common name. I do remember Hoyt Axton.
It is a surname primarily found in New England states as the Hoyt family was among the first settlers of Plymouth Rock. The Hoyt Street station is a local station on the IRT Eastern Parkway Line of the New York City Subway in Downtown Brooklyn
Cool!!!!!!
Thanks for satisfying my curiosity, Hoyt. Very interesting.
Of course they are.
What is the source of the 600,000 figure, please? I'm seeing 255K votes "against The Criminal." Thank you.
That shorting sogund coming from Trump’s nose is just that.
BREAKING – ELON TO BAIL OUT tRUMP. Trump has met with elon seeking mega bucks. Musk said Biden is too old and needs to be defeated. (musk claims he has never voted for republicans before) Donald says “Elon baby, you are my new sugar daddy, throw some of that environment loving cash in my direction. And elon baby, can you change your engines to gas, huh, what do you say, gas is good and together we will make oil king again, Huh elon, huh?

It's so common now defenestration is listed as "died of natural causes."
Able to control this out-of-control psychpath? Hmmm. Why does that sound familiar? Or does it need to be declared in German?

Someone will have to pay taxes on that money, something neither of these clowns want to do

Shocking as hell as usual. Is there hardly ever a day that goes by that the rotten to the core asshole false idol of the GOP doesn't commit a crime?
We're dealing with a failed businessman who failed largely because he operated like a mob boss wannabe. You can't pull too much capital and income out of one business for whatever and expect it to keep operating.

He can contribute to a Trump Super PAC without a problem.
But can he help pay his fines without a problem?
He’s certainly paying all his legal fees from the Super PACs.
No doubt and probably more than just his legal fees.
I don’t know how Muskrat can afford to bail Trump out. He had to go begging to the Saudis & others when he was forced to honor the outrageous offer he made to buy Xitter. If he sells too much stock in Tesla at one time to raise cash, it causes the price to tumble & decreases his net worth drastically.

Susan, You don't really think either of them will ever pay taxes again do you? They are royalty and royalty don't pay no stinking taxes.
All I'm sayin' is it's a taxable transfer if it happens
Not if a Super PAC is involved?
This isn't election related
Neither is payi g his lawyers with Super Pac money.
That was probably what t-rump offered him no taxes ever again.
My favorite headline ever:
https://www.nydailynews.com/2022/07/13/trump-i-could-have-made-elon-musk-beg-on-his-knees/
Two racist schmucks meeting together. That would be my title.
They deserve each other and share the same credo. Fear and greed, the world’s two great motivators. Fear of the other. Fear of change. Fear of loss. Greed for power. Greed for money. Fear and greed.
Paywall
The headline is all you need. 😂

While not denying the meeting, Musk pushed back hard against the report on Wednesday:
“Just to be super clear, I am not donating money to either candidate for US President,” he wrote on X.
Just like trump, he lies..........a lot. But we will see.
Elon has stated he will not back any candidate for President. His two flights in to see Hitl- er, Trump, however are interesting. I’m certain Trump would try and entice him with lot$ of busine$$ perk$ when he becomes Presiden- er, King.

I’m glad I’m not giving Elon $8/month.
“We’re gonna drill, drill, drill baby!”
Yep, dictator from day one and drilling along with the wall are first up.
Yes I seen that. A group of Wealthy nuts who want to Rule here are lining up to accommodate. Private meeting with Musk scheduled.
Wasteful spending of theirs.
We aren't falling for the space X failing Twitter fker. Vote 💙💙💙

He never was a particularly eloquent speaker, and it hurts my brain trying to decipher his stream-of-consciousness ramblings. He reminds me of my nephew, at five years old, who was so happy to talk, he rambled on about whatever was in the room.
Fred Trump had dementia

He doesn’t really want to say that in front of his MAGA crowd, the one time he did, he got booed yugely

seriously…who dresses like that? hahaha
Somewhere out there, there's a VW Rabbit without any seat covers.
LOL! Thats hilarious!
It was cute, in high school, but on a grown up?
Now she can buy lots of gaudy clothes. Now she gets paid for selling her soul.....Oh, I'm sorry! She never really ever had one.
I didn’t bother to watch it either. It all came out as I expected, well, not the vote in American Samoa, but everything else. NPR is telling about the percentage of Haley voters who are voting against tfg. It’s close to two thirds.
That’s awesome news. I just can’t wait for this BS to be over. 🤦♀️ it’s so emotionally draining.
If I remember correctly, American Samoa voted for Michael Bloomberg in 2020, so, not exactly a bellwether.
And the person who came in 2nd behind Bloomberg was Tulsi Gabbard. Obviously, American Samoa can NOT be taken seriously 🙄
I don't think they even get to vote in the General Election, or it doesn't count or something like that. WAY too lazy to look it up. It seems a little colonial of us -- "here, American Samoa, take your play votes and go in the other room."
She has ties to Samoa, I believe her dad was from there originally.
Yep on good riddance to Sinema! We voted for her and it didn't take long for us to be so pissed off with how she screwed over all of us who saw her as someone who would do good things!!! Hoping like hell Ruben Gallego crushes Krazy Lake come Nov!

And, I know why but I wish he hadn’t, Adam Schiff is running as an independent! Katie Porter was edged out.
I know. I’ve been supporting her for years and I don’t even live in CA any more 😢
Adm and Katie...ugh. I like them both. But I've always appreciated her.
I wish she had not chosen to run for Senate yet. She knows how it works, she hasn’t been there long enough, & now she’s given up her seat in the House where she’s badly needed
Thanks as always Jeff. So great that Sinema can be off to pursue her dreams. Maybe clown college. However, more than likely, she can now officially be a lobbyist for some society harming industry, maybe big pharma, maybe oil and coal, maybe all of the above. She no longer needs to hide in the shadows.

Regardless, I'm guessing it won't be long before Kari Lake joins Aileen Cannon in the "I want to be the next Mrs. Donald Trump" contest ("The Prison Apprentice's Wife -coming this fall on NBC?")
While drunk driving is at best inadvisable, and at worst, as stupid as Marjorie Taylor Greene, if America continues to embrace drunk voting, we're going to have to turn in all of our nuclear weapons to a more responsible country. France just enshrined Women's reproductive rights in their Constitution (granted, we no longer care about any of the silly amendments to ours, especially none before or after the 2nd Amendment), perhaps France should hold on to our nukes until someone has a chance to hit Control-Alt-Delete and reboot the United States (and set the willfully ignorant flag to 'No."
😂😂😂😂
👏👏👏perfectly said
Just came to say that the minute I saw that picture all I could think was "Is she running off to join the circus?" and then I read the caption.
Does this woman avoid mirrors? IS SHE A FUCKING VAMPIRE??
She is neuro-divergent in ways not yet diagnosed.
Neuro divergent. Excellent Kathleen.🤯
Is that your subtle, get-past-the censors at WaPo, way of saying she is an "attention whore?" (With apologies to sex workers.)
Actually, I was afraid I was being mean to the neuro-divergent. But when people are voting for a senator, they should know that kind of diagnosis upfront.
The word is “asshole.” Don’t blame assholeism on neurodivergence. Only one of those terms explains Elon Musk or Kirsten Sinema.
I don't think neurodivergence is securely enough defined at this point to know what it actually means. It's really hard to measure how a brain functions and what “normal" is. Basically, I was making a joke.
Elon is an Aspie and doesn't understand social cues, he is also a troll who thrives on attention. He happens to be both but not all neurodivergent, are assholes as he is. That is to say he is an asshole in spite of being neurodivergent but there has to be a better way to explain it.
My wife, who avoids judging one’s appearance, said Sinema deserves whatever bashing she receives for wearing that outfit. 😁
I'm still not over the denim vest, leggings, and whatever else there was when she "presided" over the Senate that ONE time. I assume all she did was issue hall passes.
How about that yellow extravaganza that took up 3 seats at sotu?
I thought she mugged Big Bird for that one.
Only the blues legend Buddy Guy can get away dressed like that.
Buddy Guy has much better taste!
A wannabe Dalmatian
🧛♀️🧛♀️😂😂😂
A good caption :Do not adjust your set!
Cool pantsuit to end her peri-menopause flashes?
She wants to be remembered for her clowning the Dems, and not losing her gig.
Good one Endless.
The only super thing about Super Tuesday was Kyrsten Sinema's announcement. Nikki Haley will do a one-eighty and endorse Trump because she's above all, ambitious, and probably holds out hope for veep. Trump's already trying to make nice with her voters like he never cast them out of MAGA world because who in the Republican party gives a fuck about what anybody said yesterday?
As I’ve commented on other columns, I will bet that Donny Dumpster Fire doesn’t make it to Election Day. Whether broke, sick, dying, or just lost in the desert of his own mind, he won’t be there. He can’t handle another humiliating loss, and that’s where this whole thing is headed. The Repubs in Congress should get smart and design a Plan B. By going for broke with the TFG, they are writing their own obituaries. I’m here for that - all day!
That is assuming the repubs in congress ARE smart! hahaha
May you be an oracle.
Ok. Here in Arizona, I reply from these lowly heights! It’s a very good thing that Sinema has seen the light and come to Jesus on her chances for reelection. Now Arizonans need to get behind Ruben Gallegos in order to defeat that tRump harem member Kari Lake.
I just don’t trust Sinema. She has something up her sleeve, I think.
I’m putting my money on a well-paying lobbying job. For anyone who’ll have her.
I’m thinking a job at Mara Lago…
Up her big, fat-assed polka-dotted clown sleeves!
She sold out to the republicans long ago, they promised her a cush lobbying job in return for tanking Biden's plans.
As usual…press sucks…”sundowning grandpa memoryhole” (good one!) is the obvious winner! Geesh! We will show them!!!!
Krysten Sinema turned down her first threesome in her life when she decided not to run against kari “crazy lady” lake and Ruben Gallego, the Democratic nominee. Kari was agreeable to the threesome but Gallego said he would not join that clown act.
She always wanted to have it both ways.
🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
Those are not the threesomes we like!
YES WE WILL!
Dear Washington Post and New York Times,
Please allow at least one of your news reporters to observe this truth:
Two old men.
One has 50+ years of honorable public service. And he works to help people.
The other has convictions for rape and business fraud. And he steals from people, demanding to get away with it.
Has it come to this? Once heralded and respected newspaper publishers are somehow frightened of the Trump/MAGA crowd that they neglect to see the truth and report it?
Well? WP and NYT what do you have to say for yourselves? Huh? 🦗🦗🦗🦗
$$$$$$$$ They want the clicks.
Thanks for a lot of laughs everyone. It definitely beats weeping and gnashing of my remaining teeth.
While the National News (CBS, ABC, NBC) don't seem to realize what a dumpster fire Chump is, many Republicans do and are acting on it. Those who worship the Toddler King will continue to worship him no matter what. As for the NYT, the fine people of New York have had 77 years of the disgraceful and repulsive Donald. He has not turned over any new leaves. In fact his tree is rotten up through the trunk and it is going to fall over in the next bad storm which is coming soon.
Back in 2016, I came to the conclusion that the ball cap wearing guys in the pick up trucks waving Trump flags were kind of hoping that if they hung out with their buddy Trump long enough, he would let them sleep with Melania.
Well, they’ve already seen her naked.
I hope that Haley doesn't stoop so low as to approve Trump. Did he ever say anything nice about her after 2020? Like Liz Cheney, she is tagged as a female RINO. The Republicans are real good at condemning women. The GOP is not grand in any way now that it is the party of Trump and nothing but. Don't like it, you're out.
A true American horror story named Donald Trump. I look for him to lose the popular vote much worse than in 2016 and 2020 on my 73rd birthday November 5, 2024. He is already repeating the scam "rigged election" talk from the last time and will cry and scream about how unfair it is that the Supreme Ruler of the Universe is not universally adored.
BIG differences from 2020 and 2021: he will not be an incumbent, so all of his screaming and whining can be ignored; everyone will be ready for his MAGAts from November 5th on, especially on January 6th, January 20th, and throughout 2025 until he dies; his criminal trials WILL continue despite his claims that they're all about "election interference," and he will be convicted and go to prison where he belongs, again, until he dies. The rest of his miserable life is not pretty, and he brought it ALL on himself -- a slow, years-long suicide.
So true
Oh she will.
😘💍
great description Darrell!! looking forward to the storm
May it be caught on video!!
The only political news I can stomach these days is from Nicole Wallace or Alex Witt.
Oh really? C’mon DancingFox, I know you’re really intelligent; surely you know that Rachel Maddow is brilliant, right?
Maddow doesn’t really do political news anymore so much as she makes historical connections and introduces guests.
Points for critical thinking and personal magnetism, but it would improve her presentation if she’d let guests tell their own stories rather than stealing their thunder and asking whether she’d gotten it all correct and complete.
All that being said, yes, of course Rachel Maddow is brilliant.
Great analogy!
It seems there are a lot of leaks in the GOP boat. There is a clear percentage of Republican voters that aren't down with the cult of Emperor Shitstain. Blue tsunami, anyone? I give Nikki about a month. Kirstin will soon be working in the circus fantasy room at the Bunny Ranch.
