Thank you. Something is up with my account. I just had a commenter say I blocked them and I checked my settings and Kathleen it’s like. Somebody said I blocked them too!
I’m sorry this happened but you’re not on my my settings and there’s only three people I blocked in this s entire year. It’s almost 2 am and I’ve got to sleep.
I call it Jackal Journalism. I cannot believe that after Trump calls our President and Vice President, "Joe and Ho", and also implied that Kamala spent her political career trading sex for advancement, that MSM allows him to get away with this. I am grateful to Jeff for keeping on pointing out their biased coverage. Hopefully more and more people see that it is a real problem. I actually do not care what Harris and Walz say. I am not undecided. I did not watch the speech. It helps that I am many hours ahead and was asleep. I am all for Kamala and the Coach. Viva la Kamala!
Yeah. Like it took only one of my brain cells to see the stark difference between the tickets. It’s been fun watching the Meidas Touch Network show or tell about people who have awakened to the fact that they made a mistake voting for the fat fucker the first time but would never repeat that mistake or vote for a republican ever again. Makes my heart happy to hear them.
Spe, be careful of Midas Touch blame Obama for Citizens United because the SCOTUS decided it during his presidency. They said both sides are responsible for our money in politics dilemma when Republican presidents appointed the conservative judges who caused the problem; not Obama.
Yes. Add to that, that she should discuss whether or not she believes Donald Trump was peed on by prostitutes in a Moscow hotel and that makes him subject to blackmail by Putin.
Ya, why do they not ask Donald these questions? I wanted to slap Dana Bash right in her republican tool face!! She is as stupid as they get in journalism but sly like a fox sneaky fake Dana!! I didn’t watch it, I saw bits and pieces that alone thoroughly pissed me off. Dana is one of the many reasons I don’t watch CNN!! She makes my stomach ill. Wonder how much dumb Dana got paid for being a journalist creep?
You forgot about the magnets not working underwater! And windmills causing whales to go crazy! What are we to do about those? And before I forget, what about the batteries that are soooo heavy that boats sink under them? Honey, I can keep going all day!
I think I was on Instagram when someone replied to my post, calling me “a Radical.” I’am a fervent supporter of all things progressive and have been a member of the Democratic Party. But I suppose TFG’s fascination with all things weird and unconstitutional is the MAGA loons. I’m a veteran and a mom living on Social Security that donates to as many candidates for the Democratic House and Senate. It may be $5.00 but that’s how I afford to give them donations. A bit of the pie for all I can help.
But y’all call me Radical. Anyone see anything radical about what I posted? I don’t …
I can’t even remember what I said. You choose one wrong word on Instagram and they ask to reword or plain Ol’ remove your comment. It probably was rhetoric about TFG and it was a fascist follower who takes offense at anything so there’s that …
Thank you and the Air Force was what I needed at 18 years old. Got money for my college.
Don’tcha know they can’t say Democrat or Progressive; they’re programmed to replace it with “Far Left Radical”. To them, there are no moderate Democrats. My previoud nephew adored me. When he couldn’t find a job he joined the Navy right before Obama was first elected. When on leave he stopped by our house with a Navy buddy, on a hot summer day. I served them lemonade and homemade cookies and we shared warm memories for a couple hours and shared hugs when they left. A month later, he wrote on Facebook “the world would be a better place if Obama and all democrates (sic) were to all die tomorrow.” He knows I’m a democrat. His dad, my brother, is a staunch republican with libertarian leanings. He and his wife retired with hefty pensions after careers teaching in public schools. They all smeared Democrats sucking at the teat of the government. There was no reasoning with them. They referred to us as far left baby killers, and believed that being pro-choice meant being in a demonic cult that rejoiced at every abortion. So sad. BTW those firefighters’ teeshirts are awesome and i want one (of the tee shirts not the firefighters, lol!).
As usual Jeff’s prescience is spot on. Here’s my prediction: my whole life I’ve heard that women are too emotional to be president, but I predict Jelly Donut Vance is going to openly sob on camera before this travesty is over.
There was a time, like a 100 years ago, people actually threw rotten fruit and vegetables at people who were bloviating total BS. I think it's way past time we resurrect that practice for Republican Candidates. You throw rotting fetid crap words at us, we'll answer with rotten tomatoes. Might teach them to be more careful with their words, since they've weaponized everything they do, we should weaponize our feedback.
Dumpy is almost afraid of having tomatoes thrown at him as he is of sharks. Seriously. Chris Cillizza wrote a piece about it dated 28 April 2022 back when he was at CNN. I don't know how to copy the link, so that's the best I can do, but it's out there in googleland.
Ugh — that was fake since we all know the fix was in. But this time John Doe isn’t producing the desired results and could become the sacrificial lamb. And Kamala will have her marshmallow already on the stick to roast in the flames as Tim hand-cranks the spit. MWAHAHAHA
Corporal Couchfucker Six Months in an Air Conditioned Trailer is such a disgrace to the USMC. Of course, so is former USMC Sgt. Chris LaCivita, Gulf War Veteran with a Purple Heart, whose entire political career has been attacking fellow veterans.
I would enjoy pointing out that, if you look at the photo that Jeff uses for JelloDick Vance, and imagine his sad mustache in a longer, more Fu Manchu style along with the beady eyes and permanent bitch face expression, he looks just like a catfish or large-mouthed bass. This guy is a walking, fish-faced, birth control dispenser.
The MSM further slides/sprints into a whirlpool of irrelevance entirely of their own making, and the Harris/Walz campaign gleefully waltzes (haha) around them . It's delicious.
Something tells me that JD may get replaced with Tulsi Gabbard. Donny fuck around has been paying a lot of attention to her lately. She better be careful, if you know what I mean.
nah,nah, RFK Jr. Trump: TRUMP KENNEDY! THE FIRST BIPARTISAN TICKET, no one has ever seen this before, it is 147% better than any ticket that ever existed, grown men are weeping!
It would be the third bipartisan ticket. "Tippecanoe and Tyler Too!" was the first, when William Henry Harrison, the Whig candidate, chose a Democratic running mate, John Tyler, who became the first "accidental President" when Harrison gave the longest inaugural in history in a chilly drizzle, refusing to wear an overcoat as his wife had urged, caught pneumonia and died in a month. The Whigs read a statement on the floor of the House saying they did not consider Tyler one of theirs. The Democrats responded by declaring that they didn't claim him anymore either. He tried to run for re-election, but gave a statement in September that was generally considered a concession and withdrawal: however ballots had already been printed, and he got a dismal 0.1% of the vote, finishing fourth behind not only the Democrat James Polk and the Whig Henry Clay, but also the Liberty Party's James Birney (abolitionist), worst showing for an incumbent ever.
The second was Lincoln's re-election in 1864 with a Democratic running mate Andrew Johnson, temporarily renaming the Republican ticket as the "Union Party": again the VP became President, and is one of the top three contenders (along with James Buchanan and Donald Trump) for worst President of all time. He barely survived an impeachment, and his 1866 "Round the Circle" tour on behalf of Democratic Congressional candidates practically sunk the Democratic Party, who did not of course consider nominating him in 1868.
How delightful to get such a thorough and interesting response! Also for one of my favorite campaign slogans, "Tippecanoe and Tyler Too." Although I also for some reason have "5440 or fight!" stuck in my head.
As a thank you, please accept my other favorite campaign slogan: "Hurrah! Hurrah! The Country's Risin', for Henry Clay and Frelinghuysen!"
I had an album of old campaign songs when I was younger: "Hurrah Hurrah the Country's Risin, Henry Clay and Frelinghuysen" was sung to a banger of a tune (at least by 19th century standards)
Back in the 1970s, I remember a guy going on the Dinah Shore show playing historical campaign songs, including anti-candidate ones. I remember "Van Buren" followed by a Bronx cheer.
Isn’t that kinda bait & switch? Wasn’t it JFK Jr. who was never dead and supposedly coming back? To kill the lizard people or something? Wait til he meets that guy with hotdog head! 🤣
Used to live in Peabody and Danvers, worked down on Devonshire. Learned this from a Southie guy: "If I want shit from you, I'll squeeze your head." I've had cause to use it.
And I am perfectly comfortable driving in The Hub and LA.
My hometown has indeed dealt with racial turnmoil and has worked extremely hard over the last several decades to focus on racial justice, devoting significant resources to eliminate racial disparities. It was also the first place in the nation with public schools and libraries, is home to some of the world's finest universities, is in the state that was the first to legalize gay marriage, is the most highly educated state with the 2nd highest per capita income and of course, is home to winning sports teams.
Perhaps don't tar an entire city with that kind of glib trope?
Did I say there was NO racism in California ? Of coutse there is, it's just not as blatant as other places. Ive lived here for 63 yesrs, in different cities.
Apparently only the racist parts? Nothing like an expert to comment on something so universal as racism? Because, of course Trump appeals, to whom? Here, in the USA? Must only be the racists in Boston? RIGHT?
Well, glad we got that one out of the way. Can we resume our scheduled campaign stops now? The bus is waiting for us to talk to actual serious everyday people about actual serious everyday issues.
I wish Walz would say that he will answer the gotcha question in a moment, but first, Ms. Bash, you might like to ask me how Minnesotans got a tax cut on my watch. And school children got fed.
Yes, seriously, I hope Team Harris/Walz are done with these msm” interviews “ that are really journalistic booby traps designed to get an improper, irregular or other GOTCHA responses from the interviewee. When Dana Bash’s first question to Kamala was” What would you do on Day 1”I knew what was going to follow.Both Kamala and Walz answered each question and were not enabling Bash to ensnare them in any way.Bravo!!’
"journalistic booby traps" perfect phrase. Cuz this is what they wanted out of that time, to get some clicks and views for "Harris calls Tramp ... " Walz prevaricates on.. " ugh. hate them so much. cant they just have a conversation instead of an inquisition?
They never say shit. He rambles on with his usual distorted make believe fuckery and it's like it wasn't even said or heard. Anyone else on the blue side spewing this nonstop horseshit would be guaranteed to be on every front page. Journalism needs a major overhaul and it can't happen soon enough.
They’re scared to death he’ll say “that was a nasty question”, his followers will boycott them (& send them death threats), & then they’ll get fired because the boss wants a tax cut.
"I’d spent the entire first day running up and down the halls of the White House, punching my fist in the air and shouting fuck yeah, I’m the fuckin’ president! — and then I’d dress for my Inaugural Ball."
Hilarious...I so wish Kamala had answered with this. 😂😂😂 Yeah, the press is repugnant.
I read a story by a guy who'd gotten the privilege of staying overnight in the White House in the Lincoln bedroom. He could not bring himself to sleep in that bed so he slept on the sofa. He asked in the morning if that furniture had really been there in Lincoln's day and did Lincoln really sleep in that bed. He was told that it was all the original furniture, but Lincoln found the bed too short for him, so he usually slept on the sofa.
I'd find my bed, enjoy a gummy, order up room service, then watch a movie. My dogs & toys would come in with me. Hang a Do Not Disturb sign. So vote for Kamala, not me! 🐈🐈⬛🛏️🍓🥥🥓🥓🥘🥪🧁🍾
What would jeff wear to an inaugural ball? His best jeans? Somehow, I think Ms Spouse will not take kindly to being called First Lady. She'd tell everyone, "Hey, the name is Spouse, Ms Spouse."
Dana Bash is a hack, and has always been a hack. The wingnut-o-sphere is letting out one continuous whine about the fact Harris didn't play their game of "gotcha" sound bites. If Harris doesn't do another interview like that ever again it wouldn't surprise me.
Where in the world do these so called journalists come from? Most of them are all so terrible because all they care about is becoming a star in their own right. They say idiotic things so they themselves are the news. It isn’t news. It is just a bunch of narcissistic people auditioning for a starring role in some stupid “news” show. I can’t stand to even listen sten to any of them.
Yeah, CNN is just execrable. We stopped watching them some years back. They drank the MAGA kook aid for $$$, never mind that they are harming America. Oh, well.
Same. I stopped when Chris Licht was in charge. All of the moving anchors around and firing Don Lemon pissed me off. I miss Chris Cuomo too but he kinda got himself fired by lying (not that they’d have kept him if he told the truth).
Absolutely. There was a time when I wouldn’t have expected conservatives to give CNN a try but I think some may have had it with Trump, Fox and NewsMax.
And no matter how hard they work to normalize Trump and demonize the democrats now, should Trump get into office, they're still going to be subjected to shutdown, prosecution, and every other sanction R's can think of for painting Trump in a less-than-flattering light.
If tRump wins after they helped him win, he will demand that they become the American version of TASS, nothing more than a propaganda machine for the dictator. Then they're gonna be sooooorrrry. Too late, MoFos
Excellent writing Jeff. Harris / Walz should continue to ignore the idiotic right wing press that follows Putin’s rules. They can continue their face to face meetings as the only way Americans can hear the truth. We will be rejecting Fascism. I want to hug every firefighter who booed Vance & wore trump is a scab t-shirts!
Vance’s enthusiasm lacking stops are an embarrassment. I guess the MAGA cult isn’t paid for at every stop.
The media is absolutely terrified of losing Donnie Dollhands and his Mini-Me who likes to offend large swaths of the electorate. He is so good for clicks... I'm guessing there is going to be some serious anti-tRump animosity in said electorate come time to vote. Come on, People - let's rise up and help send Donnie to Venezuela.
This country needs to see that even the (once) most powerful man on the planet is not above the rule of law. My hope is that he will finally be constrained from broadcasting his vile lies and that he has none, zero, supplicants and no smartphone. In other words, in prison for life.
Dana Bash is a gash. Her ridiculous questions pissed me off. Harris and Walz weren't taking the bait and it was marvelous to watch The Gash looking sheepish during the answers to the stupid questions. CNN is the new TMZ.
Over at Stephen Robinson's substack, he's calling the media reaction to the CNN interview a mobilization of the Professional Goalpost Movers of America
“Donald is a foppish, chubby overlord who relies on the unquestioning thuggery of the conscienceless jackals who comprise his inner circle and staff who exist to make him look tough. - Mary Trump
When I lived in northern Italy in the 80s, nobody's parents or grandparents had been a member of the Fascist Party. Every single one of them was a partisan. I think we're gojng to see the same thing here in about 10 years. Nobody will have been a MAGA member, everybody hated Dumpy back then because he was such an idiot and a felon.
Dad served in Army Air Force in Italy ( Sardinia, Sicily, Corsica) and Italians told him they turned on Mussolini because he lied to them and told them they were going to win. Sound familiar?
It makes me wonder, what happened to so many journalists? It seems many have lost their integrity to chase clicks/likes on behalf of the outlets they represent.
What happened is this: the "legacy media" lost half their readers/viewers since 2020. The intergalactic widgetmakers who own them (Disney - ABC; Paramount - CBS; Comcast-Universal - NBC; Warner Bros-Discovery - CNN) want to sell them off, but they have to become "profitable" to do so. And as Jeff Zucker the Fucker (as we knew him in Hollywood) said in 2016 when he was criticized for CNN airing all Trump's hatealongs, "Donald Trump brings high ratings!"
And all the over-educated, under-intelligent, otherwise-unemployable low achievers of the upper middle class with their Journihilizm Skool degrees are terrified of losing their jobs.
The republican stenographers, keep twatter afloat as well. Because they are too lazy to actually do journalism, and the editor would give it a click-bait right-wing talking point headline anyway.
As a degreed Mathematician, I 107 fucking percent approve of this fucking message. fuckin' a
Despite recent interview, Harris is still ducking the tough issues:
1. Batteries versus sharks
2. Low flow toilets not flushing it all down
3. Wind power no good for watching TV when the wind isn't blowing
4. Position on Hannibal Lecter.

Great addition to the list! Do you realize you have me blocked from liking your comment? I invite you to message me about your decision.
Who - me? I'll check - I didn't know that was a thing.
So glad it was inadvertent. Can't tell you off the top of my head how to undo.
I'm checking support right now
I’ll check it. Cos I only blocked one person because idk what or how this happened
Dear Mr political, you were not the person who blocked me. And the situation is resolved!
Thank you. Something is up with my account. I just had a commenter say I blocked them and I checked my settings and Kathleen it’s like. Somebody said I blocked them too!
I’m sorry this happened but you’re not on my my settings and there’s only three people I blocked in this s entire year. It’s almost 2 am and I’ve got to sleep.

That is an incredibly naive, and stupid take. Do they think the president controls the S.C.?
Now now, no body shaming. Even for the obviously 5'8" candidate who weighs the better part of 400 lbs.
Also they are so stupid they misspell it "Hoe" which is a farm implement.

Yes. Add to that, that she should discuss whether or not she believes Donald Trump was peed on by prostitutes in a Moscow hotel and that makes him subject to blackmail by Putin.

It's a black Job now, Queen of our hearts, Michelle Obama said so

I was so mad about the way John Kerry was swiftboated, but I didn't know at the time who'd masterminded it. Figures he'd be working for Dumpy.
Him and Lewandowski are the brown shirts. Thugs in loafers instead of jackboots
I 1000% agree! He's shopping for waterproof eyeliner right now!
He's had it done permanently for that reason.
The MSM further slides/sprints into a whirlpool of irrelevance entirely of their own making, and the Harris/Walz campaign gleefully waltzes (haha) around them . It's delicious.
Maybe the Marine Corp should send old JD message that's it's unacceptable to badmouth fellow veterans.
Something tells me that JD may get replaced with Tulsi Gabbard. Donny fuck around has been paying a lot of attention to her lately. She better be careful, if you know what I mean.
Tulsi Gabbard come on down! You’re the next throwaway placeholder on the Vice is Right!

Yes! The BEST bait & switch! No one has ever seen such a bait & switch, it is tremendous, tremendous, a beautiful bait & switch.
It's too late. Many states have already printed their ballots and others have passed their deadlines for any changes.
Like the rules matter to that campaign.
She's a skunk...pun intended.
Oh Samantha, if JD wants to keep wearing Manscara and liner.
That’s a terrible thing to do to JD, yet happy about the smeared makeup he’ll have running down his gross face.
What a horrible, horrible thing to happen to such a lovely person…
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
You know he 100% sounds like Ted Baxter when he sobs.
I’ve never seen a more immaturely emotional adult than the hissy fit thrower tRump.
I suspect Elon Musk can give him a run for his money
I’ll pay to see that! 😜
Oh please, let it be! :)
And ruin his carefully applied eye makeup?
Do not fuck with the following:

and Bostonians. Do not fuck with Bostonians - have you ever heard the term "Massholes"? Yup, we wear it proudly.
Used to live in Peabody and Danvers, worked down on Devonshire. Learned this from a Southie guy: "If I want shit from you, I'll squeeze your head." I've had cause to use it.

Isn't Boston kinda racist ?
My hometown has indeed dealt with racial turnmoil and has worked extremely hard over the last several decades to focus on racial justice, devoting significant resources to eliminate racial disparities. It was also the first place in the nation with public schools and libraries, is home to some of the world's finest universities, is in the state that was the first to legalize gay marriage, is the most highly educated state with the 2nd highest per capita income and of course, is home to winning sports teams.
Perhaps don't tar an entire city with that kind of glib trope?
Oh and was where the American Revolution began so we naturally cantankerous.
And misogynistic, evidently. I'm almost 73 , I'm 5'3" I AM FULLY GROWN &
I have traveled extensively, so shut your ignorant mouth.
I have no idea what you're talking about. I'm a 68 year old woman. What is up with you, lady?
Read the novel: Small Mercies by Denis Lehane - its about Boston in the 70’s when they had to integrate school . My favorite book from 2023.
Yeah, that was an ugly period
And the home of Brigham's iced coffee (once upon a time)
Oh no , did I hurt " the CITY'S FEELINGS ? 🤣
No, you just made yourself look like a fool.
Isn't America all over "kinda racist"?
Grow up. And get out more.

No more so than the rest of the country. Put away your broad brush.
I guess I'm lucky to live in So Cal. Ive lived temporarily in Tennessee & Atlanta, A LOT MORE RACIST than CALIFORNIA.
Lived in SoCal many years, though no longer. There are plenty of hate groups there. SoCal doesn’t get a pass, no place does: https://amp.sacbee.com/news/california/article255712846.html
Did I say there was NO racism in California ? Of coutse there is, it's just not as blatant as other places. Ive lived here for 63 yesrs, in different cities.
There's more hate groups in No. Cal
however.
Apparently only the racist parts? Nothing like an expert to comment on something so universal as racism? Because, of course Trump appeals, to whom? Here, in the USA? Must only be the racists in Boston? RIGHT?
Hey, just asking...
Yes we do !!!!
Childless teachers: As MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell pointed out, all the Catholic nuns who taught him & millions of other kids -- none had children.
You don't have to have given birth to care about all children.
I'll add,veterans.
Add...
Teachers.
Librarians.
Well, glad we got that one out of the way. Can we resume our scheduled campaign stops now? The bus is waiting for us to talk to actual serious everyday people about actual serious everyday issues.
I wish Walz would say that he will answer the gotcha question in a moment, but first, Ms. Bash, you might like to ask me how Minnesotans got a tax cut on my watch. And school children got fed.
Yes! 👍
Dana Bash and Jake Tapper can fuck off. After the supposed “debate” between Joe and LDFF shitshow their credibility as journalists has been revoked.
👏👏👏
👍👍👍
Yes, seriously, I hope Team Harris/Walz are done with these msm” interviews “ that are really journalistic booby traps designed to get an improper, irregular or other GOTCHA responses from the interviewee. When Dana Bash’s first question to Kamala was” What would you do on Day 1”I knew what was going to follow.Both Kamala and Walz answered each question and were not enabling Bash to ensnare them in any way.Bravo!!’
"journalistic booby traps" perfect phrase. Cuz this is what they wanted out of that time, to get some clicks and views for "Harris calls Tramp ... " Walz prevaricates on.. " ugh. hate them so much. cant they just have a conversation instead of an inquisition?
CNFOX.
Sadly, exactly.
Fuck the MSM. Do interviews with content creators. (JoJo, Allison Gill, etc.)
Yes,I agree.I think an interview conducted by Lawrence O’Donnell would be a good one.
Howard Stern
Howard Stern is repulsive. In my never to be humble "asshole " opinion.
Racism, and bullying are serious issues
Bullying? Are you serious? Behold:

I l💙ve you anyway .😁
“…when Donny Convict routinely changes positions on major issues in the middle of a sentence — and nobody in the press bothers to say boo?” 👻
👆🔥
They never say shit. He rambles on with his usual distorted make believe fuckery and it's like it wasn't even said or heard. Anyone else on the blue side spewing this nonstop horseshit would be guaranteed to be on every front page. Journalism needs a major overhaul and it can't happen soon enough.
MSM coverage is 90% MAGA talking points.
Can't call it journalism with a straight face.🤪
That is a stretch.
Yeah, something snapped in my spine
That’s why we read Jeff’s Substack.
They’re scared to death he’ll say “that was a nasty question”, his followers will boycott them (& send them death threats), & then they’ll get fired because the boss wants a tax cut.
"I’d spent the entire first day running up and down the halls of the White House, punching my fist in the air and shouting fuck yeah, I’m the fuckin’ president! — and then I’d dress for my Inaugural Ball."
Hilarious...I so wish Kamala had answered with this. 😂😂😂 Yeah, the press is repugnant.
I’m going to bounce up and down on the Lincoln bed
I read a story by a guy who'd gotten the privilege of staying overnight in the White House in the Lincoln bedroom. He could not bring himself to sleep in that bed so he slept on the sofa. He asked in the morning if that furniture had really been there in Lincoln's day and did Lincoln really sleep in that bed. He was told that it was all the original furniture, but Lincoln found the bed too short for him, so he usually slept on the sofa.
OMG! Wonderful story.
Wow. He actually may have had Marfans.Very tall for the times
I'm lighting my cigar...sorry...that's inappropriate...😂😂😂😂
Bruce I see what you did there…
🤣😂
Pretty slick... about slick Willy...
Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar 😉
😂😂😂😂 Great idea!
Hope it's got a new mattress 😬
My favorite line!!!!🤣
If she had the entire right wing nits media would have made an ad out of it
That was supposed to be nuts, but nits works nicely 😂
A more authentic line has never been WRITTEN ✊🏛️ 🇺🇸
I'd find my bed, enjoy a gummy, order up room service, then watch a movie. My dogs & toys would come in with me. Hang a Do Not Disturb sign. So vote for Kamala, not me! 🐈🐈⬛🛏️🍓🥥🥓🥓🥘🥪🧁🍾
They should send Wolf Blitzer an Ex Lax chocolate assortment. 😂😂
LOL!!
I remember Blitzer doing an interview with a woman after a tornado hit the arra , her house was heavily damaged
but everyone was ok. Wolf said " Thank god " , she said " I'm

I knew Richard & his wife Harley. She was in my comedy class at Paramount, don't know if they're still married He's an awesome guy.
What would jeff wear to an inaugural ball? His best jeans? Somehow, I think Ms Spouse will not take kindly to being called First Lady. She'd tell everyone, "Hey, the name is Spouse, Ms Spouse."
LOL!!! 👍
Pathetic like the MAGAs themselves.
Dana Bash is a hack, and has always been a hack. The wingnut-o-sphere is letting out one continuous whine about the fact Harris didn't play their game of "gotcha" sound bites. If Harris doesn't do another interview like that ever again it wouldn't surprise me.
Where in the world do these so called journalists come from? Most of them are all so terrible because all they care about is becoming a star in their own right. They say idiotic things so they themselves are the news. It isn’t news. It is just a bunch of narcissistic people auditioning for a starring role in some stupid “news” show. I can’t stand to even listen sten to any of them.
She wouldn't even have a job if the news wasn't operated by for profit corporations.
She looked kinda…’sad’ tbh 😬
I think it's just Botox and facelifts. She can't move her facial muscles.
yep- hardly smiles, ever.
Yeah, CNN is just execrable. We stopped watching them some years back. They drank the MAGA kook aid for $$$, never mind that they are harming America. Oh, well.
They hired former Fox personnel and it shows
CNFOX.
Same. I stopped when Chris Licht was in charge. All of the moving anchors around and firing Don Lemon pissed me off. I miss Chris Cuomo too but he kinda got himself fired by lying (not that they’d have kept him if he told the truth).
Let's hear it for Brian Stelter too. Axing Reliable Sources was the last straw for me.
I lasted about 3 minutes with Morning (no) Joe today.
I listen to WCPT Chicago instead of Morning Joe. Richard Chew is excellent.
I believe the Harris/Walz campaign chose CNN because it is right-wing media, awful,but still better than Fox and Newsmax.
Absolutely. There was a time when I wouldn’t have expected conservatives to give CNN a try but I think some may have had it with Trump, Fox and NewsMax.
Appreciated the Way Back Machine ride to the KCollins ‘Town Hall’…😅👌
And no matter how hard they work to normalize Trump and demonize the democrats now, should Trump get into office, they're still going to be subjected to shutdown, prosecution, and every other sanction R's can think of for painting Trump in a less-than-flattering light.
If tRump wins after they helped him win, he will demand that they become the American version of TASS, nothing more than a propaganda machine for the dictator. Then they're gonna be sooooorrrry. Too late, MoFos
Excellent writing Jeff. Harris / Walz should continue to ignore the idiotic right wing press that follows Putin’s rules. They can continue their face to face meetings as the only way Americans can hear the truth. We will be rejecting Fascism. I want to hug every firefighter who booed Vance & wore trump is a scab t-shirts!
Vance’s enthusiasm lacking stops are an embarrassment. I guess the MAGA cult isn’t paid for at every stop.
The media is absolutely terrified of losing Donnie Dollhands and his Mini-Me who likes to offend large swaths of the electorate. He is so good for clicks... I'm guessing there is going to be some serious anti-tRump animosity in said electorate come time to vote. Come on, People - let's rise up and help send Donnie to Venezuela.
This country needs to see that even the (once) most powerful man on the planet is not above the rule of law. My hope is that he will finally be constrained from broadcasting his vile lies and that he has none, zero, supplicants and no smartphone. In other words, in prison for life.
It's been nice not hearing Bannons yap for sure!
Rudy Colludy says Bannon is "being tortured" in jail bc Sloppy Steve can't do his podcast from inside.
Did someone put a muzzle on Margerine Traitor Peen ?
I think that the media has moved past her and Boobert, pretty much. There is more exciting stuff going on.
Huzzah!! 💙💙💙🌊🌊🌊
Kamala and Tim owned Dana Bash last night.
By the end DB looked like a stray who had been left out in the rain…
Why isn't her name spelled Danna?
Dana Bash is a gash. Her ridiculous questions pissed me off. Harris and Walz weren't taking the bait and it was marvelous to watch The Gash looking sheepish during the answers to the stupid questions. CNN is the new TMZ.
FOX lite
Worse.
At least TMZ is entertaining.
Seems like they are falling short of TMZ
That's pretty nasty.
Republican owner Robert Malone wants it that way. I always thought lightweight Bash was a republican.
OMG how to I get this in every talking head's inbox?
Over at Stephen Robinson's substack, he's calling the media reaction to the CNN interview a mobilization of the Professional Goalpost Movers of America
SER is very funny.
He is awesome.
“Donald is a foppish, chubby overlord who relies on the unquestioning thuggery of the conscienceless jackals who comprise his inner circle and staff who exist to make him look tough. - Mary Trump
Chubby ? That's too cute by far. He's an obese Tub - O - Lard
Morbidly obese is the correct weight category for him.
The GOP is still cowering from the bully, completely silent,waiting for November 6th to disavow him and prepare us for Go-Go Boots/Meatball Ron.
When I lived in northern Italy in the 80s, nobody's parents or grandparents had been a member of the Fascist Party. Every single one of them was a partisan. I think we're gojng to see the same thing here in about 10 years. Nobody will have been a MAGA member, everybody hated Dumpy back then because he was such an idiot and a felon.
Dad served in Army Air Force in Italy ( Sardinia, Sicily, Corsica) and Italians told him they turned on Mussolini because he lied to them and told them they were going to win. Sound familiar?
Wow!!
My grandfather fought his way through Europe,he said most of the Germans he encountered,who spoke little English,but they'd say 'Not Nazi'.
Go Go Boots????🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You need boots when the BS starts getting deep.
Chubby?
I think Mary was looking for a schoolyard insult that sticks… like ‘weird’ ;)
I'm so fucking sick of the media carrying the orange shitgibbon's water. I can barely stomach MSNBC at this point. The rest of them, why bother?
It makes me wonder, what happened to so many journalists? It seems many have lost their integrity to chase clicks/likes on behalf of the outlets they represent.
What happened is this: the "legacy media" lost half their readers/viewers since 2020. The intergalactic widgetmakers who own them (Disney - ABC; Paramount - CBS; Comcast-Universal - NBC; Warner Bros-Discovery - CNN) want to sell them off, but they have to become "profitable" to do so. And as Jeff Zucker the Fucker (as we knew him in Hollywood) said in 2016 when he was criticized for CNN airing all Trump's hatealongs, "Donald Trump brings high ratings!"
And all the over-educated, under-intelligent, otherwise-unemployable low achievers of the upper middle class with their Journihilizm Skool degrees are terrified of losing their jobs.
As always: Follow. The. Money.
Glad you reposted this
Makes perfect sense, thanks.
The republican stenographers, keep twatter afloat as well. Because they are too lazy to actually do journalism, and the editor would give it a click-bait right-wing talking point headline anyway.
Corporate greed … media consolidation … swapping gotchaism for actual reporting … etc.
BINGO
Fucking tabloid level reporting.
I don't believe having a little money is a bad thing,but I'm a little tired of millionaires and billionaires telling me how to think,or vote.
🤬🎯🎯🎯🎯. How did Citizens United ever happen? Probably SCOTUS. "corporations are people".
🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Conservative SCOTUS members. Ideologically idiotic
'corporations are people'...except Disney in Florida,and definitely not teachers.
Sounds like you’re a Bernie fan. Me too.
They have to pay the rent like everyone else. Who can afford to be an independent muckraker these days? It's too bad but it's reality.
I’m down to Jeff and Heather Cox Richardson.
Cable News is broken and they have no desire or inclination to fix it.
Pretty sure the MAGA and MSM are going to be flushed in November...up next; the Supreme Court, filibuster.
