It is totally weird that the media compares President Biden and Fraud Trump as though they were both normal people. The media compares their policies instead of pointing out that Fraud Trump is most definitely not a normal person. The media should (MUST) point out that Trump is a liar, a fraud, a con, a traitor, a sex-abuser, a total scumbag, a piece-of-shit and a convicted felon, one who surrounds himself with other criminals. Trump is disgusting….. and an American Disgrace.

The media will not--nearly every paper of record is now owned by oligarchs. I dumped NYT after the last T-toadying headline that set my hair on fire. This won't be a D vs R contest but an oligarchs vs. democracy vote. (None of them believe defenestration is a thing for those who do not toe the party line. Or that someone else will always have more money.)

That's gotta be hard. I had a sister who was totally Fox-ified and it ruined her life.

Just having a sister, who lived in a town thousands of miles away was rough, it ruined our relationship.

I don't want to imagine the alienation that would happen with parents. Sorry to hear it. It's not just you and certainly not your fault.

When my brother threatened violence after Biden's win in 2020, I stopped talking to him, emailing him, or sharing social media. He's in the cult and I don't care what happens to him. I'm sorry for my SIL, but she's made her bed. He's the imbecile I always thought he was. But he used to be a nice guy.

Sometimes I feel sorry...then I remember they're all grown ass adults with access to 1-12 public education. They can read. And this is what they landed on. We need to use our intelligence to amplify common sense. Felon surrounded by felons. How does that make us safe, productive, competitive and happy? Only a leader as in Joe Biden who is committed to the ideals of our imperfect union - of getting it closer to perfect every day - is what will serve all of us.

Yeah Doc, same situation with my sister, she’s in TX, I’m in NM. She totally went down the magat & qanon rabbit hole, would send me vids of whacko Drs saying weird crap about the vax, etc. The worst one was a

“documentary” 🙄 titled “Out of Shaddows” that supposedly proved that the rape of little girls was rampant in Hollywood bc some washed up stunt man said so.

Needless to say, we don’t talk very often anymore. There are so many families who have been torn apart by drumph & his worshippers. It’s beyond sad. I’m glad my Mom didn’t live to be here for this; she would have been even worse than my sister I’m sure.

She had Faux on every waking hour & thought Bill O’Reilly & Hannity were just the best.

One of the problems with our media is that Cheeto boy gets treated like some kind of celebrity & Biden gets treated like a politician. Cheeto’s policies past & future are rarely discussed-they make it more about the dumb things he says. He needs to say specifically what his policies & vision are for America & the media needs to quit giving him softball questions & never challenging anything he says no matter how stupid or how big of a lie it is. I hope that the debate (if he doesn’t back out of it) will ask questions that are specific & insist that he gives an answer. Or maybe it’s just best to let him meander about water, sharks, windmills & electric cars & look like a fool to the few left out there that haven’t formed an opinion about him yet and those people must have been in a coma for the past 8 yrs

You are so right. The talking heads give Donald the respect of a serious political leader. When it’s obvious he has no actual policies other than what his tiny brain thinks is good for him in the moment. Time magazine took him seriously. He conned them big time! Donald is a Story Teller. A purveyor of fantasies. If skeptical journalists don’t see through his propaganda BS, America will become Russia.

I was in agreement with David Frumm when he wrote extensively about Biden not legitimizing Trump by agreeing to debate him. Then members of Jeff's blog shared that Donnie is probably going to back out. Yep. I still believe it. Here's why: I thought back on the three hours was it that the media waited breathlessly for Trump to get in front of a microphone, on a stage lined with Trump water, steaks, etc. and then say, in a totally unapologetic way, "Obama is born in the USA." That was it. The Media got played but they always come back for more.

MF and his sickening marriage to the Media - they get worked by him because Trump TV is addictive and earns them beaucoup bucks. Ten gets you twenty, Trump team finds a kernel of plausibility that CNN shared the questions with Biden and he backs out at the 11th hour. I would absolutely expect Trump to keep everyone on stage, the show runners, the whole production team and the secret service for Biden...Then Jake Tapper will have to ad lib and ultimately say, "Breaking news. Former president Donald Trump may have COVID." Then Trump will steal the coverage from CNN, get a camera crew dedicated to him and reveal that CNN Producer (hopefully a woman with a really ethnic name) sent an email to Karine Jean-Pierre with some back channel story to give Biden the best debate outcome and post debate talking points when in reality, the email is two years old and it's really about something else. Trump is the devil. He's falling apart, but what is left is pure bottomless bile.

They never were a news outlet, they were formed as a propaganda arm of the republican party by Roger Ailes a Nixon media man.

"Following the 1968 campaign, Ailes was brought in as an adviser to the President for communications, working on several historic television broadcasts.

All eyes were glued to TV sets the night of July 20, 1969 when Neil Armstrong became the first man to walk on the moon. President Nixon made a long distance phone call to the moon from the Oval Office to congratulate the astronauts. Thanks to the genius of Ailes, those at home watched on a split-screen as the President and astronauts spoke to each other.

Ailes was also called in to handle the broadcast of President Nixon’s introduction of the new Chief Justice, Warren Burger as well as several televised speeches on the Vietnam War.

“Roger and I worked on many assignments over the years. He was a very good friend,” said Nixon Foundation Chairman Ron Walker. “Little did I know he would end up changing cable television forever.”https://www.nixonfoundation.org/2017/05/roger-ailes-nixons-television-man/

Hi Dancing Fox, where you said this, "Television convinced people that Trump was an astute businessman", that made me laugh out loud! I watched the Apprentice just two times, enough to know that the show was bullshit, just another Fraud Trump con. Trump is a masterful con man. Due to the industry that I've been involved in almost all of my life, I knew - well before he rode down the golden escalator at Trump Tower (surrounded by actors he paid $50 bucks each to to pad the crowd-size) - that Trump was a liar, a fraud and a con.

I detest the sound of his voice and have resorted to transcripts since 2016 and avoid even the sight of his rictus mouth making sounds--but I will tune in Thursday and take delight in every aphasia flag, every laughable lie, every stumble through his word salad, every fart.

I realized this morning that the "story" tone he gets when he comes up with the real whoppers (as opposed to the every-day whoppers that fall out every time he opens his mouth) -- which really fucking irritates the shit out of me every time I hear it -- is like he's a mean kid telling a "fairy tale" to a younger kid he plans to beat up later & steal lunch money from...

I felt physically ill the first time I heard his voice so many years ago, but I, too, am looking forward to what I hope is his finale, going down forever in gaseous flames.

The first time I saw him he was doing an interview in his Trump Tower apt,I think it was 1986 or so, I yelled to my wife 'Honey!! Come look!! It looks like Liberace and Elvis went on a cocaine binge and decorated his apartment,what a no-class loser!!'

No, for the average Republican voter in this country, most of the 74 million who voted trumpy last time, it's literally the repetition of a short 'bumper sticker' phrase that they memorize that motivates them to bother voting. Tuned out, apathetic and simple minded people.

I really wonder about that too, why the boy yelling wolf never gets old, as any reasoning person would question eventually. My only conclusion is people abandoning a search for reality in favor of a twisted fantasy. It's sad for people to be living out stories of abuse, thinking perpetuating abuse is ever going to come out right, but I don't have any sympathy for people not willing to look further, that embrace aggression being human nature. That shits on all value in life.

Biden has to keep pointing out that the combover Caligula has no plans for a second term, and at the end of each two minute segment he calls the Mango Assiolini a LOSER. Trump will lose it (pun intended), and become completely unhinged, and spew word salad insults at Biden. Kids— bring your popcorn— it’s going to be a bumpy ride!

Muting Trump's mic will not shut him up if the coked up squirrels in his head are wound up. When I was in high school over 50 years ago I debated and gave speeches. I was a teenager but I knew how to act right and carry on properly. The last time Trump debated completely destroyed my good memories of doing it so long ago. He doesn't know how to debate. He doesn't know how to act properly. He doesn't know how to cook or mow a lawn. How did people expect him to preside?

Will the Returds have a high speed collision with reality or will the day of reconning be delayed once again? We will see.
