Donald Trump is running scared, trying to back out of the debate he agreed to and running to Fox News to bail him out. He needs to stop playing games and show up to the debate he agreed to on Sept. 10. The Vice President will be there one way or another to speak to a prime time national audience. Mr. Anytime, anywhere anyplace should have no problem unless he's too scared to show up on the tenth."
Is anyone at the NYT ever actually ashamed of themselves about anything? Or do they just speed dial Mommy and cry, “Please! Please! Please! Tell me how special I am!”
I wonder if the NYT has noticed the thousands and thousands of cancelled subscriptions because of their pro-Trump narratives...It didn't seem to hurt their bottom line at all. I realize that perhaps their advertisers are also pro-Trump and will continue to buy, but they must also know their audience reach is still shrinking.
We know it is, Nepo baby Sulzberger, and the editor Joe Kahn, have said out loud, that saving democracy is not their job, and Kahn said he can't wait until the orange Gollum is back in the white house. (Maybe not an exact quote)
Often the story is accurate and balanced, although frequently front-loaded with the right-wing lies, and the actual facts come further down (maybe when people have stopped reading.) But the headlines are the real sin against the truth, and it's the headline writers who have something to answer for.
EDITED A THIRD TIME to add: Holy shit, this sounds like it's in FAVOR of giving the gibbering Right another mainstream forum, rather than gagging them with a basketball like they deserve!
Their boss is STILL butt-hurt that President Biden wouldn't interview with them, and THEY are scared of losing their jobs. Especially now that NYT has become a yellow rag. Once upon a time, they could probably have gotten a job anywhere with NYT credentials. That time is gone.
Anne Applebaum's new book Autocracy, Inc explains the world war that is raging now. Autocrats/Oligarchs/Organized Crime vs Freedom/Democracy/Human Rights. And she describes the propaganda tactics and platforms used by the crooks to defeat the Good Guys.
It's obvious that The New York Times, Murdoch's Wall Street Journal and Fox News, and Russia Today TV (RT.com) are propaganda tools of the Bad Guys.
One hundred percent. That's what's so disturbing about his low information voters, they don't see this. There's an article in the Guardian this morning, Inside The Maga Mind. I've said this a 100x, humans basic needs for survival is to belong to something and feel validated. The rallies and Diaper Don fill that void in their lives. Each rally is like a family reunion to them. They are liked minded in their failures and grievances in life. They don't have cognitive clue how and why we are here. Other than gerrymandering.
They have replaced the 1920's KKK rallies with MAGAQ.
"Each rally is like a family reunion to them" is brilliant. It (as so many things do) makes me wonder: What are they going to do when he loses? What are they going to do when he decompensates in public? What are they going to when he dies?
Ok, since they sold off the body parts they won’t need the coffin except to hold a fake funeral for which the attendees will also be charged. They’ll also sell the carefully weighed dirt that his coffin displaced. The dirt will come in a golden box with a superhero bonus card included.
Well, the pieces of him will of course be for sale. The brain will cost the most, the heart the least. Fingers and toes will be fairly affordable. Ribs will be a Fourth of July special. But the guts have already been sold. I heard they were offal.
Heather Cox Richardson wrote a lovely piece about Lincoln and Edwin Stanton's words at Lincoln's deathbed--'Now he belongs to the ages'. When the Yam dies, I guarantee there will be nothing of the sort. Maybe, 'hold a mirror under his nose and see if he's still breathing.'
A "tell" that identifies a media platform as a sellout to dictators/oligarchs/thugs is when it attacks the heroes of individual freedom and human rights and democracy. And gives legitimacy to the liars and murderers. As though "listening to both sides" is virtuous. When it comes to stopping evil, you can't be on both sides.
And have been for decades, Wapo has been joining them incimentally for years, and finally made the leap by hiring Will Lewis, a Murdoch Hatchet-man, who came up through his tabloids in the UK (which are so venal they are in court for criminal coverups right now.)
Headline writers are generally not whoever wrote the article and sometimes have not read the article on which they’re about to slap a catchy little heading. That said, there is no excuse for using that common practice as an opportunity to introduce bias, let alone to deliberately mislead the reader. Bad headlines are bad journalism.
Thank you for identifying that it is an escalator behind Finton. I was trying to figure it out and the best I could come up with was a tanning bed. I've never used one, but I don't think you are fully clothed.
By the way, what IS he wearing‽ A short kimono over a t-shirt? Very snappy!
So they didn’t print a retraction but just changed their effing headline? Shitty, shitty, shitty journalism! For shame! It’s really sad when the Old Gray Lady has to whore herself out in order to put food on its bottom line table.
To see the influence that readers had on the publication. They were shamed into doing some actual reporting. That said, you're always free to scroll by the things that don't interest you. I post links for the readers who are interested.
Before Joe Biden announced he was withdrawing from the race, he organized the Democratic Party to stand behind Kamala Harris, and he organized the Western Alliance to support the prisoner swap. And he did all this while senile. yeah, sure! No, he did all this while he had COVID. Wish I could vote for Joe.
Exactly! I’d vote for him but I’m glad he dropped out because she has a much better chance of winning. How he pulled that off is nothing short of brilliant.
Indeed! I LOVED the fact he let the Repubs waste millions of dollars over a week running against him in their convention, and then waited until Sunday NIGHT so the talking heads that morning were long done.
The Harris campaign earned about $300 million in donations in the last week,Trump about $139 million, apparently the MAGAs are buying T-shirts and swag instead.
Interestingly, I was speaking to an old 1972 high school friend, who was always pleasant and friendly, but is now a Trumper. I asked him, how could he vote for such a horrible person, and he replied "cuz prices". I had to walk away because this fellow just spent 2 weeks in Florida with his son, to buy, get this, a fancy, expensive, new, helicopter. WTF is wrong with people?
So according to Watered-Down, I’ve transitioned to being a man because I voted for Biden? At least I have a chance to transition back when I vote for Harris. This back and forth can be hard on a body. 🙄
You would think good "Christian" (or at least MAGA) women like Kari Lake and Katie Britt would realize what they're doing to men by promoting themselves for election, and stand aside to keep all the Republican men from becoming women.
I love it when the Times is called on the BS and then have to change their words. 😂 This long American nightmare has given us a lot of laughs but it's also wearing on our last nerve. Its really brought the stupidity of so many Americans to the forefront. The cultish behavior is breathtaking. Make America Smart Again!
Is anyone at the NYT ever actually ashamed of themselves about anything? Or do they just speed dial Mommy and cry, “Please! Please! Please! Tell me how special I am!”
Then why, why, do they continue to believe NYT or WSJ??? Don’t they see how those 2 (among many other institutions) are converts to tfg’s lies. Money in the pocket has tremendous influence on their reporting.🤨
Hell, even the nuns taught me critical thinking back in the 1960s. It backfired on them when I started asking questions about religion that they couldn’t answer beyond their default response of “there are some things that you’re not supposed to understand.”
I was in second grade in Catholic school, when I realized my teacher Nun, shot down my observation that none of her shit made any damn sense . They HATE smart logical kids. I became an Atheist.
To this day I hate wearing a white button down blouse (which was part of my Catholic school uniform). I have a beautiful designer white blouse that’s been in my closet for 15 years, unworn. I only have it because every basic wardrobe list says you simply must have one.
Iit was the mid-70s, but the nuns at my school were pretty open-minded. One, Sr. Susan Spadinger, taught a course at my high school called "Problems of Democracy". Made me a politics junkie. Also made me a lifelong Democrat. In my 47 years of voting, I have NEVER voted for a trumpublican.
But I am sure we all know some people who didnt go beyond 5th grade BUT have common sense! These people are ignorant with huge need for belongingness out of major insecurity even if educated
Has the entire lame-stream media machine gone crazy?! Kamala Harris would never agree to debate TRump on Fox Noise with an audience. TRump lies like the rest of us breathe. I'll be so glad when Kamala wipes the floor with the Orange Skidmark. It will be a glorious day for democracy. Buckle up, TRump. You're about to get your ass handed to you by a confident, experienced, multiracial woman.
I think debating before an audience would work well for her. The more people who can bear witness to Trump's stream of lies and insane gibberish, the better. Let Trump be Trump: incoherent on and off, a repugnant liar always. Kamala will drive him crazy.
But NOT on Fox Noise! Fox would fill the audience with a bunch of Cult 45 members who will boo and hiss every time Kamala spoke. I don't think an audience helps anyone decide who is the better candidate. I know that Kamala Harris will not let Trump run roughshod over her like Biden did. But with a live audience at Fox? No friggin' way.
The question is whether a hypothetical Fox producer would agree to shutting off Trump's microphone or would just let him shout over everything she says.
Just about the most frustrating thing about the fuckwits, as you so rightly call them, is that every time they say something, with no evidence, then contradict it within hours, again with no evidence, the reaction to being caught out is an enormous ”So What?” It’s like they’re all small children defying Mom while their hands are still in the cookie jar.
That's because they're all bullshitters. As Professor Frankfurt observed in "On Bullshit," "The liar knows the truth and chooses not to say it. A bullshitter doesn't care if what they say is true or not."
Since fighting the libs is the utmost and paramount thing in life it doesn't matter what you use to fight—lie or truth it's all the same. Steve Bannon said, “flood the zone with shit." He used that word because lies are so much easier to produce than truth. And if you ever run out of lies you just crap some more. Lies are shit produced by the brain.
I’m so glad I shitcanned The New York Times. That’s pathetic that now they are letting Trump write their headlines for them, especially as they are obviously not vetting said “headlines”. I will NEVER go back to them! It would certainly pay if THEY would “do their own research”!
Did jessie watters endure a terrible head injury years ago? I can't think of any other explanation for his rampant stupidity. His parents and grandparents are/were bright and accomplished (per his wikipedia entry), and he attended Trinity, which is a good college.
Even more off-putting is his frat-boy smugness laced with 14-y-o boy "humor" and observations. A truly loathsome person, and a waste of oxygen.
Watters just acts stupid for his rabid viewers. It's all about the money. Fox Noise is nothing but a domestic terrorist organization with much of it's "news" coming straight from the Kremlin.
Makes sense -- thanks. (The other criticisms hold, though -- he's immoral, his actions are destructive, and he's a waste of every natural resource he uses up.)
He's laughing all the way to the bank $$$$$. So many of the MAGA are just phonies. They hate Trump too, but because they have no integrity, they'll shill for him if the price is right. He knows this. As stupid as this man is, he's a master manipulator of others that are greedy and gullible. You don't get to be 78 and never been in real legal trouble by just being lucky. No, you have street con artist skills that you have honed since you were a child. The only thing that will save Trump from the karma that is awaiting him is to die before he goes to prison or gets dementia.
First, the NY Times continues to self-inflict irrelevancy onto its operations. Secondly, the Trump cult is positively frightening. I ALMOST understand the ever-ignorant Watters and Pirro prostituting themselves to keep their jobs but between the grifters and the rubes, why would ANYONE with any sense want to be associated with a CULT that looks and behaves as these contradictory "people" do? Seriously. Would you want to be associated with such unproductive anger?
He's a real creep. He punctured the tires of a lady who worked with him at Fox, so he could give her a ride home, because she wouldn't date him (probably be cause he was married at the time.) The look on her face, (and all the other women's) when he told the story on Fox thinking it was cute!
Love “The Giggler”! That is exactly what we are doing at all the inanity coming from the crazies on the right. America needs some frivolity after all the doom & gloom coming from them the last nine (!) years. Focusing on getting Kamala elected and the courts back in session! Vote 💙🌊‼️
Yes, we need to address those t-shirts. Bad art, bad idea, too funny. The 1st one made me think of Don Jr. girlfriend, or even Eric's wife. 😖 I have to go wash those images out of my brain.
"where is Judge Drunkie getting her information? does she, like Tom Fitton, have barking noises in her head?" and "Jesse, tell us more about this 'transitioning' thing. would it also happen if a man votes for Kari Lake? are you saying the Arizona’s menfolk need to be voting for Democrat Ruben Gallego, else they start sprouting bodacious boobies?" Jeff, I would be ROTFLMAO -- except I have three broken ribs, so I can't do that just now.
Let me get this straight. The guy that runs Judicial Watch doesn't have a clue about how the 25th Amendment works? Dude, you might want to take up train spotting. Hey Jesse, being a lying douchebag will eventually turn you into a newt.(Science says so!) I propose a pool on how long it takes the NYT to hit zero subscribers. Jeannie, have another fifth of Kamchatka. Well, that about takes care of it. Have a good weekend, everybody.😀😀
Whenever I stop and think that our long nightmare of Republican, far-right, MAGA bullshit is far from over, I want to consider having myself put into an induced coma. Between the lies and outrageous crap all over the news and social media, to the fact that the next three months will be "hand clenching with nails in the dashboard" tense, I'm not sure there's enough meds to keep my blood pressure stable! We will also be treated to God knows what kind of shit show after November 5th, even assuming Kamala Harris wins by a landslide. Once again, all Democrat votes will be fake, Dear Leader will have been ripped off, the sky will be falling, etc. Even once the day comes that Trump goes to the great beyond, his sycophants and cult followers will keep Dear Leader's memory and influence alive by creating shrines in their homes, decorated with all of Trump's tacky memorabilia! If only suspended animation was medically possible, I wouldn't have to consider an induced coma to ride all this Trump hoo-ha out. And yet, I will endure. After all, I have to Vote 💙 in November!
I think out of all of those reprehensible scumbags, I find Watters the most deplorable. He has a liberal mother, so there's a voice of reason in his life. He's become a "for profit" ho. He's Fox's version of JD Vance. The rest are crazy. Fitton is a category unto himself.
And that’s the point. LDFF posts it on T.S., the NYT dutifully picks it up as fact. “No debate had been scheduled” won’t stop them from claiming that Kamala chickened out. (No, douche bag, that was you.)
look like the Times changed their headline once again.

Harris campaign press release:
Donald Trump is running scared, trying to back out of the debate he agreed to and running to Fox News to bail him out. He needs to stop playing games and show up to the debate he agreed to on Sept. 10. The Vice President will be there one way or another to speak to a prime time national audience. Mr. Anytime, anywhere anyplace should have no problem unless he's too scared to show up on the tenth."
❤️❤️❤️
Is anyone at the NYT ever actually ashamed of themselves about anything? Or do they just speed dial Mommy and cry, “Please! Please! Please! Tell me how special I am!”
I no longer think they are hoodwinked.
Their coverage is intentional.
I wonder if the NYT has noticed the thousands and thousands of cancelled subscriptions because of their pro-Trump narratives...It didn't seem to hurt their bottom line at all. I realize that perhaps their advertisers are also pro-Trump and will continue to buy, but they must also know their audience reach is still shrinking.
WaPo too. Wonder if they will rethink the hiring of right-wing leaders in the newsroom.
I think they think if a thought passes through their brain it must be correct. They are above fact checking themselves.
I think their bosses are pushing them to promote a pro-trump narrative whenever possible.
They certainly ARE that arrogant.
The NYT may not be hoodwinked, but they are hoodwinking their readers.
Not this former subscriber.
"Coverage." Doing a lot of lifting there.
I put "coverage" in my compost pile.
We know it is, Nepo baby Sulzberger, and the editor Joe Kahn, have said out loud, that saving democracy is not their job, and Kahn said he can't wait until the orange Gollum is back in the white house. (Maybe not an exact quote)
Often the story is accurate and balanced, although frequently front-loaded with the right-wing lies, and the actual facts come further down (maybe when people have stopped reading.) But the headlines are the real sin against the truth, and it's the headline writers who have something to answer for.
The editors generally write the headlines, but it is depressing when they use maga disinformation, stated as fact.
The headline is part of the 'story'. Therefore, no it isn't.
There are no both sides to a lie.
More perspectives exist beyond two.
This has to be it. They’re off the rails in a runaway handcart in a movie called “Indiana Jones and the NYTimes Manages Own Beheading”

Thank you for the welcome into the club. 😉
Their boss is STILL butt-hurt that President Biden wouldn't interview with them, and THEY are scared of losing their jobs. Especially now that NYT has become a yellow rag. Once upon a time, they could probably have gotten a job anywhere with NYT credentials. That time is gone.
Anne Applebaum's new book Autocracy, Inc explains the world war that is raging now. Autocrats/Oligarchs/Organized Crime vs Freedom/Democracy/Human Rights. And she describes the propaganda tactics and platforms used by the crooks to defeat the Good Guys.
It's obvious that The New York Times, Murdoch's Wall Street Journal and Fox News, and Russia Today TV (RT.com) are propaganda tools of the Bad Guys.
One hundred percent. That's what's so disturbing about his low information voters, they don't see this. There's an article in the Guardian this morning, Inside The Maga Mind. I've said this a 100x, humans basic needs for survival is to belong to something and feel validated. The rallies and Diaper Don fill that void in their lives.

They have replaced the 1920's KKK rallies with MAGAQ.
"Each rally is like a family reunion to them" is brilliant. It (as so many things do) makes me wonder: What are they going to do when he loses? What are they going to do when he decompensates in public? What are they going to when he dies?
Eat him.
Nice. It's something JG Ballard would have thought of.
I looked him up. Interesting chap.
Sell pieces of his coffin.
Pull an Ayatollah Khomeni funeral stunt?
Ok, since they sold off the body parts they won’t need the coffin except to hold a fake funeral for which the attendees will also be charged. They’ll also sell the carefully weighed dirt that his coffin displaced. The dirt will come in a golden box with a superhero bonus card included.
I've also thought about that. Trauma therapy???
Well, the pieces of him will of course be for sale. The brain will cost the most, the heart the least. Fingers and toes will be fairly affordable. Ribs will be a Fourth of July special. But the guts have already been sold. I heard they were offal.
How will they find the brain? It’s so teeny tiny.
Whenever that is, it can't come soon enough.
Heather Cox Richardson wrote a lovely piece about Lincoln and Edwin Stanton's words at Lincoln's deathbed--'Now he belongs to the ages'. When the Yam dies, I guarantee there will be nothing of the sort. Maybe, 'hold a mirror under his nose and see if he's still breathing.'
Go back under their rocks, one hopes.
But if you said this to them, they’d be offended
Oh, for sure. You have to come in with empathy and validation. Then bitch slap them.
damn, I like your style!
😉
I’m thinking the NYTimes ARE the bad guys. They’re not tools of the bad guys, they ARE the bad guys - in it up to their necks.

Yes, Applebaum is a keeper.
A "tell" that identifies a media platform as a sellout to dictators/oligarchs/thugs is when it attacks the heroes of individual freedom and human rights and democracy.

He didn't "propose" one, he made one up! Fing Times needs to wake up!
They know just what they're doing. They are 100% awake,
Headline writers are generally not whoever wrote the article and sometimes have not read the article on which they’re about to slap a catchy little heading. That said, there is no excuse for using that common practice as an opportunity to introduce bias, let alone to deliberately mislead the reader. Bad headlines are bad journalism.
I don’t give a flying F who does what at the newspaper- they are sloppy and have been bought out.
They aren't sloppy at all, It's deliberate.
Agreed.
Wow, as fast as the NY TIMES is backpedaling, they should consider entering the Tour de France!
Chances are excellent that the "correction" was written at the same time as the first headline.
Thank you for identifying that it is an escalator behind Finton. I was trying to figure it out and the best I could come up with was a tanning bed. I've never used one, but I don't think you are fully clothed.
By the way, what IS he wearing‽ A short kimono over a t-shirt? Very snappy!

Why would I read a disingenuous article?
To see the influence that readers had on the publication. They were shamed into doing some actual reporting. That said, you're always free to scroll by the things that don't interest you. I post links for the readers who are interested.
Didn't mean to anger you. It's just that clicks is what drives the NYT.
Understood, thx.
They are so craven, and in tangerini's pocket.
Yeah, I wish they did too
Before Joe Biden announced he was withdrawing from the race, he organized the Democratic Party to stand behind Kamala Harris, and he organized the Western Alliance to support the prisoner swap.

They spend $$$ on crap and then they complain about how much everything costs. Rubbish gold shoes anyone?
And how broke they are.
Interestingly, I was speaking to an old 1972 high school friend, who was always pleasant and friendly, but is now a Trumper. I asked him, how could he vote for such a horrible person, and he replied "cuz prices". I had to walk away because this fellow just spent 2 weeks in Florida with his son, to buy, get this, a fancy, expensive, new, helicopter. WTF is wrong with people?
The way Joe did it was simply… delicious!💙💙😹
Great timing, Joe!
This is where crystallized intelligence is the asset an older person has from life experiences..
That's the sneaky thing about Joe: he's both a criminal mastermind and a demented old fool.
Whoa!!! How does he do that?!!!?
It's part of being senile!
He doesn't even know he's doing it, he just reads about it in the papers afterwards.
The whole prisoner swap thing was news to him too!
🤣🤣🤣🤣😎😎😎😎
😝😝😝😝😝
He's Livia Soprano?
He must be left-brained!!!
Demented Don couldn't have pulled this off in his wildest dreams. Besides, who knows how much the thieving treasonous turd gave Putin as it is.
I think in Putin’s case it’s called extortion. The tapes, video and audio, don’t lie. tRunmp is beholden to the Russian.
Don't we all. But perceptions matter, and the voters were largely down on him.
Unfortunate, but true.
So according to Watered-Down, I’ve transitioned to being a man because I voted for Biden? At least I have a chance to transition back when I vote for Harris. This back and forth can be hard on a body. 🙄
look, if a scientist said it, it must be true
Yeah, sure! NOW they believe the science!
Now it’s convenient!
Blinded by it...
Thank you, Thomas Dolby...😀
I've done my research.
A mad scientist, perhaps? Cosplaying Dr. Frankenstein?
Hugo Agogo.
I love it. Vote for a woman, become a woman. Very scientific.
You would think good "Christian" (or at least MAGA) women like Kari Lake and Katie Britt would realize what they're doing to men by promoting themselves for election, and stand aside to keep all the Republican men from becoming women.
Damnit!!! Do I get boobs too??!!!
No you get two boobs !
—insert picture of Ivanka with blue gloves here--
She must've been working on those Chinese patents...
I LOVE the ergo regarding Kari Lake.
Chef's kiss!

😂😂😂😂
It's interfered with my wardrobe choices each season.
And you didn't even have go to through puberty to do it! Lucky girl!
Now i can wear my wife’s dresses!
YES!!!!!!🙀
Oh!!?? We weren't supposed to be doing that already?? Ut-oh.
😁👏👏
Can I turn black and Indian if I vote for Kamala?
Trump is actually German and then turned Swedish...so...sure.
🤣
What happens if I vote for a felon or an idiot?
Then you’re already a Trump rube. My condolences. (I know you’re not 😉)
Your credit card will be charged every month for the rest of your life...😂😂😂
So true. I’ve been a man so long now I’m not sure my body will remember what it’s like to have boobs and hips again 😜.
If I'm getting boobs, I'm probably not leaving the house for at least a week.
First, the boobs, then the bra. you're not gonna like it.
I believe I already have 'moobs'.
Congratulations?
At a certain age, we all have unanticipated bulges.
🤪🤪🤪🤪
We'll need more closets for all the different wardrobes!🤣
Everyone should have at least one little black dress I believe.
I love it when the Times is called on the BS and then have to change their words. 😂 This long American nightmare has given us a lot of laughs but it's also wearing on our last nerve. Its really brought the stupidity of so many Americans to the forefront. The cultish behavior is breathtaking. Make America Smart Again!
I'm sure that "scoop*" was provided by MAGA Haberman, the Trump whisperer.

😂😂😂😂
Is anyone at the NYT ever actually ashamed of themselves about anything? Or do they just speed dial Mommy and cry, “Please! Please! Please! Tell me how special I am!”
Given they're all entitled little ivy league trust fund babies, I'll go with both.
"They" would be one very special boy, owner and nepobaby AG Sulzberger. The rot at the publication flows from him.
Hilarious Kathleen- Mommy, am I special??? oh my god
unfortunately- its prob tru!
Schools in red states don’t teach critical thinking, that’s so they believe the Republican politicians. They aren’t really stupid, just uneducated.
Some are obtuse. I know some well educated people who really should know better.
Then why, why, do they continue to believe NYT or WSJ??? Don’t they see how those 2 (among many other institutions) are converts to tfg’s lies. Money in the pocket has tremendous influence on their reporting.🤨
The 4th branch of gubment... corporations.
The 5th Estate: Money.
They want to keep trump's tax cuts. Never underestimate the greed factor.
It's not about facts and logic. It's about emotions.
Facts are cherry-picked after conclusions in order to make the emotional ideas appear to be products of logic.
Yes. Racism is one helluva drug.
Hell, even the nuns taught me critical thinking back in the 1960s. It backfired on them when I started asking questions about religion that they couldn’t answer beyond their default response of “there are some things that you’re not supposed to understand.”
I was in second grade in Catholic school, when I realized my teacher Nun, shot down my observation that none of her shit made any damn sense . They HATE smart logical kids. I became an Atheist.
Kristy you changed icons?
Yes, that picture is me in my Saint Pius the Tenth second grade uniform I HATED WEARING A UNIFORM !
To this day I hate wearing a white button down blouse (which was part of my Catholic school uniform). I have a beautiful designer white blouse that’s been in my closet for 15 years, unworn. I only have it because every basic wardrobe list says you simply must have one.
Iit was the mid-70s, but the nuns at my school were pretty open-minded. One, Sr. Susan Spadinger, taught a course at my high school called "Problems of Democracy". Made me a politics junkie. Also made me a lifelong Democrat. In my 47 years of voting, I have NEVER voted for a trumpublican.
I went to Catholic school in the early 1950's.
I think a few of them may well be stupid.
IGNORANT
But I am sure we all know some people who didnt go beyond 5th grade BUT have common sense! These people are ignorant with huge need for belongingness out of major insecurity even if educated
Why is common sense so rare?
Yes, my opinion of the intelligence of the average American voter has sunk below ground level.
I believe only 50% of kids actually graduate high school now.
oooh! I like that phrase. A heads up: I'm stealing that.
Has the entire lame-stream media machine gone crazy?! Kamala Harris would never agree to debate TRump on Fox Noise with an audience. TRump lies like the rest of us breathe. I'll be so glad when Kamala wipes the floor with the Orange Skidmark. It will be a glorious day for democracy. Buckle up, TRump. You're about to get your ass handed to you by a confident, experienced, multiracial woman.
I think debating before an audience would work well for her. The more people who can bear witness to Trump's stream of lies and insane gibberish, the better. Let Trump be Trump: incoherent on and off, a repugnant liar always. Kamala will drive him crazy.
But NOT on Fox Noise! Fox would fill the audience with a bunch of Cult 45 members who will boo and hiss every time Kamala spoke. I don't think an audience helps anyone decide who is the better candidate. I know that Kamala Harris will not let Trump run roughshod over her like Biden did. But with a live audience at Fox? No friggin' way.
Not on Fox. Absolutely. But I don't think Kamala will agree to Fox, if it comes to that. I'm betting Trump won't dare debate her.
Like CNN did.
The question is whether a hypothetical Fox producer would agree to shutting off Trump's microphone or would just let him shout over everything she says.
Republicans don't really 'debate'...even on Fox they just try to shout over eachother.
That's so when she rebuts him, he can say SHE turned him down.
Just about the most frustrating thing about the fuckwits, as you so rightly call them, is that every time they say something, with no evidence, then contradict it within hours, again with no evidence, the reaction to being caught out is an enormous ”So What?” It’s like they’re all small children defying Mom while their hands are still in the cookie jar.
That's because they're all bullshitters. As Professor Frankfurt observed in "On Bullshit," "The liar knows the truth and chooses not to say it. A bullshitter doesn't care if what they say is true or not."
Since fighting the libs is the utmost and paramount thing in life it doesn't matter what you use to fight—lie or truth it's all the same. Steve Bannon said, “flood the zone with shit." He used that word because lies are so much easier to produce than truth. And if you ever run out of lies you just crap some more. Lies are shit produced by the brain.
BEST... COMMENT...EVER!!! 😁
I’m so glad I shitcanned The New York Times. That’s pathetic that now they are letting Trump write their headlines for them, especially as they are obviously not vetting said “headlines”. I will NEVER go back to them! It would certainly pay if THEY would “do their own research”!
Did jessie watters endure a terrible head injury years ago? I can't think of any other explanation for his rampant stupidity. His parents and grandparents are/were bright and accomplished (per his wikipedia entry), and he attended Trinity, which is a good college.
Even more off-putting is his frat-boy smugness laced with 14-y-o boy "humor" and observations. A truly loathsome person, and a waste of oxygen.
Watters just acts stupid for his rabid viewers. It's all about the money. Fox Noise is nothing but a domestic terrorist organization with much of it's "news" coming straight from the Kremlin.
Without question, I think you are correct. They have contributed greatly to undermining our democracy.
and so has a certain college that says they don’t take any gvt help but they have taken $ from tfg. 😤
Makes sense -- thanks. (The other criticisms hold, though -- he's immoral, his actions are destructive, and he's a waste of every natural resource he uses up.)
What a world we live in ...
Exactly. Fox News and Russia Today TV get their daily, coordinated, talking points from the same Director.
He's the new Tucker Carlson.
🎯They should be legally required to change their name to "Fox propaganda station".
Foxaganda.
Loathsome is the word. I feel nauseated just watching him -- evil eyes.
He's laughing all the way to the bank $$$$$. So many of the MAGA are just phonies. They hate Trump too, but because they have no integrity, they'll shill for him if the price is right. He knows this. As stupid as this man is, he's a master manipulator of others that are greedy and gullible. You don't get to be 78 and never been in real legal trouble by just being lucky. No, you have street con artist skills that you have honed since you were a child. The only thing that will save Trump from the karma that is awaiting him is to die before he goes to prison or gets dementia.
Already has dementia
Oh, Lord, make it soon. I'm so tired, so tired.
He has a feral cunning taught to him by Roy Cohn.
He wears his ties too tight. After so many years, his brain has atrophied from too little oxygen.
From the British film, Personal Services, "BCSD".
…and I LOATHE the collars on his shirts
….and space.
I believe it was a drowning accident. [/jk]
First, the NY Times continues to self-inflict irrelevancy onto its operations. Secondly, the Trump cult is positively frightening. I ALMOST understand the ever-ignorant Watters and Pirro prostituting themselves to keep their jobs but between the grifters and the rubes, why would ANYONE with any sense want to be associated with a CULT that looks and behaves as these contradictory "people" do? Seriously. Would you want to be associated with such unproductive anger?
Someone has to pay for those fancy suits...
& prostitutes.
And cocaine...
I think Jesse Walters protests too much because I believe he's jealous and he wants to be a woman. He's certainly not very secure in his manhood.
He's definitely lusted for green M&Ms while nutsack tanning.
I can’t nutsack tan any more cause I’m going to turn into a woman
I feel ya sista...
😂😂😂😂
🤨😆🫣
LOL!!!
He's a real creep. He punctured the tires of a lady who worked with him at Fox, so he could give her a ride home, because she wouldn't date him (probably be cause he was married at the time.) The look on her face, (and all the other women's) when he told the story on Fox thinking it was cute!
Love “The Giggler”! That is exactly what we are doing at all the inanity coming from the crazies on the right. America needs some frivolity after all the doom & gloom coming from them the last nine (!) years. Focusing on getting Kamala elected and the courts back in session! Vote 💙🌊‼️
Yes, we need to address those t-shirts. Bad art, bad idea, too funny. The 1st one made me think of Don Jr. girlfriend, or even Eric's wife. 😖 I have to go wash those images out of my brain.
"where is Judge Drunkie getting her information? does she, like Tom Fitton, have barking noises in her head?" and "Jesse, tell us more about this 'transitioning' thing. would it also happen if a man votes for Kari Lake? are you saying the Arizona’s menfolk need to be voting for Democrat Ruben Gallego, else they start sprouting bodacious boobies?" Jeff, I would be ROTFLMAO -- except I have three broken ribs, so I can't do that just now.
Ouch! Hope you heal quickly!
Thank you!
Let me get this straight. The guy that runs Judicial Watch doesn't have a clue about how the 25th Amendment works? Dude, you might want to take up train spotting. Hey Jesse, being a lying douchebag will eventually turn you into a newt.(Science says so!) I propose a pool on how long it takes the NYT to hit zero subscribers. Jeannie, have another fifth of Kamchatka. Well, that about takes care of it. Have a good weekend, everybody.😀😀
Isn't Tom Fitton the ultimate weirdo? That guy has zero credentials but acts like he knows everything. I think his eyes are too close together. 😂😂😂😂
He kind of looks like Sporkfoot's boyfriend. He must have stuck his face in the same hornet's nest.😂😂😂
LOL
Pretty sure Drunky McWinebox performs better under a desk for Grandpa Rupert than sitting at one.
😂😂😂
Whenever I stop and think that our long nightmare of Republican, far-right, MAGA bullshit is far from over, I want to consider having myself put into an induced coma. Between the lies and outrageous crap all over the news and social media, to the fact that the next three months will be "hand clenching with nails in the dashboard" tense, I'm not sure there's enough meds to keep my blood pressure stable! We will also be treated to God knows what kind of shit show after November 5th, even assuming Kamala Harris wins by a landslide. Once again, all Democrat votes will be fake, Dear Leader will have been ripped off, the sky will be falling, etc. Even once the day comes that Trump goes to the great beyond, his sycophants and cult followers will keep Dear Leader's memory and influence alive by creating shrines in their homes, decorated with all of Trump's tacky memorabilia! If only suspended animation was medically possible, I wouldn't have to consider an induced coma to ride all this Trump hoo-ha out. And yet, I will endure. After all, I have to Vote 💙 in November!
He's been campaigning everyday for 9 years straight...it needs to end.
^^^grifting money is all he can do.
I think out of all of those reprehensible scumbags, I find Watters the most deplorable. He has a liberal mother, so there's a voice of reason in his life. He's become a "for profit" ho. He's Fox's version of JD Vance. The rest are crazy. Fitton is a category unto himself.
I think Fitton was at Rudy's last birthday party.
They must have invited people who misinterpret the law.
And that’s the point. LDFF posts it on T.S., the NYT dutifully picks it up as fact. “No debate had been scheduled” won’t stop them from claiming that Kamala chickened out. (No, douche bag, that was you.)
No double checking, no 2-source corroboration before publication. Back to journalism school.
The last 'Washington Week' I watched had Jonathan Karl quoting MTG as his information source.
