By retelling an old joke: a man goes to work and is making his coffee, and his coworker says to him you look really upset, whats the matter? The man replies, I had a terrible Freudian slip this morning when I was talking to my wife. The coworker asks What happened?
The man says, I meant to say, Please pass the sugar. The coworker asks, Well what did you say? And the man replies, I said You ruined my life you fucking bitch.
These broadcasters who say President Trump rather than President Biden have been conditioned by Orangina himself and the MAGA Motherfuckers that this bastard, this rapist, this thief, is STILL the President. I know this is going to sound weird but to a fair extent I attribute, I dont blame, this in part to the hero-making of the villain as in Breaking Bad, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, The Sopranos, The Sting, Dexter, and the like. There is a substantial portion of the populace who wants the criminal to get away with crimes. For me the most interesting example of that was in 1960s Psycho wherein the killer is watching the deceased victims car, with her in the trunk, descending into quicksand/ swamp and all of a sudden
it stops and you see the fear in his face. In a moment it resumes sinking and both he AND THE AUDIENCE express relief that the plan to hide her body worked. It was typically brilliant Hitchcock directing.
Many of the correspondents and experts are talking as though Trump is destined to walk back into the White House and cant disguise their excitement. It would be a bonanza for the news media and there woukd be continuous viewership along with continuous red chyrons at the bottom of the screen. Just what we need
😳🤮😢😔

(2,297 posts)Lets say the OP is right about this (and I think they are):
You have to ask yourself, what are these press people thinking? Theyre going to be among the first to feel the chilling effects of a Trump presidency. Many of them will have to leave the country fast.
Of course, some others are planning on thriving under Trump. Hence their sycophancy. Its shameful.

(28,836 posts)I think they're just used to saying Trump.
They should say "Former President Trump", of course, or Mr. Trump or convicted felon Trump or whatever, but I don't think they really believe he's still president, not even unconsciously.
