I swear...on national tv, someone needs to turn towards a

Significant Republican and say, “Jesus H Christ, you are such a fucking liar that it’s positively embarrassing to listen to you speak. You and your whole party have shamelessly descended into a slime pit and you, yeah YOU, are among the worst purveyors of this fire hose of bullshit and fake outrage which you spew daily from your decadent and obscene mouths. And by the way, fuck you. Yeah…fuck you, you slimy, lying prick.”

Depending upon the day’s news, that might, just might, be the lead story.

If we could tank corporate news' ratings, we might be able to break up the conglomerates and get multiple, competing, independent news organizations to spring forth.

Why does any scandal involving a Democratic politician turn into a weeks or months long story, usually ending with a resignation, while a much worse ReThug scandal fades away after a day or two? Why is Matt Gaetz still in office? Why isn’t Clarance Thomas being hounded daily by reporters asking about the lavish bribes gifts he accepts? And why did Joe Bidens poor debate performance lead to weeks of “concern” from all the news media while tRump promising to end democracy (voting) gets a pass?

The media doesn’t report the news, they make the news. They decide what’s important, and it’s driven by a very dubious agenda. Not ratings, not scandals, not creating a horse race. The billionaires who own the media know what they want and are shameless in pursuing it.

ABC & CBS both aired the stupid idiot's no need to vote again remarks with the best coverage coming
from ABC, IMHO. NBC never mentioned it but aired quite a bit of TSF attacking Kamala.

The Republicans can accuse our candidate of being insane, if having a pathological laugh, facilitating murders, sleeping her way to the top, facilitating the coverup of the health of President Biden, and being the most liberal Senator, and we just get to nod, right?

The guy running against Tammy Baldwin is on TV saying she lied about him while using weasel words to prove it. He says he was "born" in WI when Tammy's ad says he doesn't live here. Which he doesn't, his home is jn California which is where he will go back to live when he loses. Then he says he doesn't " run" a nursing home. Nope his bank that he owns is half owner of one. And last he says that of course he believes "old" people can vote. What he said in a filmed interview and Tammy reported was that people in nursing homes shouldn't vote because they are going to die soon and don't know what they are doing. Weasel words by a weasel.

I pvrd it from American Experience. The episode is "The Riot Report". The time period is 1967. I highly recommend watching it. I lived in New Jersey that year. It brought back memories of what happened in my state. I am white so I did not have the experience of racism. I was starting to be anti Vietnam War. I lived in a small town with no people of any colour. It was a very educational documentary. It made me think of Project 2025 and why the Republicans want to go back to that era. America has really advanced since 1967. We cannot ever go back where racism was so rampart everywhere. Project 2025 must be stopped.

But it didn’t. Because people were worried about being polite or making money etc. I think Axelrod did something to that effect maybe when they pushed Biden out. I didn't see it as I almost never watch the news anymore.

At brunch today, he wondered how he could get all of the democrats to ignore bs media questions and instead say

If you want to solve any problems in this country
Vote a straight Democratic ticket
The Republican Party no longer exists
The bullies have ejected everybody decent and all that remains are the scared and the lying.

He would also like to remind everybody how the modern gop has already unleashed Iranian style morality police on us and would surely like to release a ton more.

He is right of course. The gop has reached beyond the frothy wingnut and headed straight toward Nerolandia.
