Significant Republican and say, Jesus H Christ, you are such a fucking liar that its 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 days news, that might, just might, be the lead story.

(28,341 posts)Yeah youre full of shit too, you fucking apologists for Trump and the other sociopaths whose narcissistic behavior is beyond reprehensible. Do you need me to tell you the meaning of reprehensible ? No? Then do some soul-searching and attempt to act human.

(10,287 posts)the references posts 10 and 11 made might be the last we hear of it on the big shot broadcasts.
Not surprising I guess but a damn shame.

(3,748 posts)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 isnt 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 doesnt report the news, they make the news. They decide whats important, and its 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.

(23,727 posts)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.

(28,341 posts)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?

(11,844 posts)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.

(4,396 posts)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.

(9,212 posts)But it didnt. 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.
I would suggest that that "significant Republican" be Donald John Trump.

(1,284 posts)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.
