Should not the news be discussing T blow-jobbing the mike?

If Biden simulated anything sexual in public like this, it would constantly be discussed, shown, denigrated, ripped apart...the GOP candidate who could be President...SIMULATED A HANDJOB/BLOWJOB in public, on tv.

CNN is discussing some ugly sports statue. Who cares? Normal media would be discussing trumps mental state and fitness to be President. I feel like I'm in bizarro world

This is stark evidence of his mental decline and presentation of dementia and complete lack of filters and the jettisoning of behavior norms. This should be automatically disqualifying for a presidential candidate. In any other country with a functioning news media, this would be a fatal blow to his campaign.

Would you rather that the media fixate on this or the fact that he said a political opponent should be executed?

You really think this is worse? Or even remotely on the same level?

The media can't multitask for shit. If it's between the Cheney threat or his "whether women like it or not" comment and this, this pales in comparison. It's meaningless.

We fixate on and prioritize the weirdest things.

Trump has outrageous verbal diarrhea every day, and the low-info crowd who can barely be bothered to pay attention aren't going to hear it or read it. But images are an instant gut thing, and are more viral. Edit to add: It was also plainly obscene, in front of families.

Sat Nov 2, 2024, 10:52 AM
Nov 2024

we're all upset.
we're all frustrated

but surprised? Absolutely not. the standard for coverage has been and will continue to be different between the two sides

one side always gets the benefit of the doubt, the sane-washing, the carefully chosen headlines to try and deliver repugnant news in the most gentle fashion possible

and the Democrats get none of that. The media lets the GOP narrative on ANYTHING be the de facto truth. After all reporting isn't about what Joe Biden meant when he said "garbage", even AFTER he went back and clarified it. No, the reporting is about how the GOP took it. How THEY all say that he was calling all of them garbage.

But drumpf goes down a mic or says Liz Cheney should be shot and the story isn't about what DEMOCRATS are saying about it, it is about "oh, drumpf used some more off-color rhetoric" or some soft peddling. JUST REPORT WHAT HE SAID. OR DID. Is that asking too much??????????????

If Kamala wins this thing it will be nothing short of miraculous that she was able to defeat MAGA, the billionaires funding drumpf, and the media that has done EVERYTHING humanly possible to to put lipstick on the pig that is drumpf.

I doubt that SNL will put that in a skit, because too many people might not know about the incident -- not to mention that it's really crude. However, John Oliver, Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, and Seth Meyers will be able to just show the clip and let DonOld humiliate himself before they finish the job.

What was it that JD Vance was saying about acquiring a sense of humor?

But Id like it to be featured at least today since, to me, its extremely indicative of his unfitness and decompesation. This man could have the nuclear codes. If a Dem did this, it would be nonstop coverage.

Remember them crying about "how will we tell the children what Bill Clinton did?"? Go look at Free Republic right now. Go look at any GOPer message board or forum. Dead silence--low activity in general. They're pretending not to see this because there's no defense of this.

Imo, this is outgaeous behavior. Are minors in the audience. He's obviously losing his mind and coming apart at the seams.

I predict he'll touch himself in the groin area onstage. Also threatening to attack his staff.
