Trump Blew the Election.

America’s Press Don’t Care.

From C-SPAN:

Former President Trump Jokes About His Microphone Issues

2024 Republican presidential nominee former President Trump jokes about his microphone issues, saying "Do you want to see me knock the hell out of people back stage" and "it's a pretty stupid situation." He picks back up his monologue once a crew member brings him a cordless microphone that seems to function better.

The pantomime begins about 3 minutes in:

Likewise for ABCNNBCBSFuxNoiseNutwork, the focus of US press coverage is on a technical issue involving a microphone. What goes unmentioned is Trump, in illustrating his abject self-pity, simulated oral sex with a microphone as a phallus. Thinkaboudid: If anyone else did anything like that in public, they’d be locked up in jail or hospitalized in a psychiatric ward.

1. Just why do people think his rhetoric is funny?

Different generation with no morals? Or just plain ignorance?

[Kid Berwyn]

7. Sign of poor parenting.

Parents are a child’s first and foremost teachers. Exactly what kind of people the parents are shows up when the child is full grown.

What I try to remember and share comes from a childless Spanish Puerto Rican cellist:

[MaryMagdaline]

12. His crudeness is a power move. Like a dog pissing in corners.

His fans love to see him get away with crude and outrageous behavior because they feel vicarious power.

[lindysalsagal]

24. Ok. Thanks. I really didn't put that together before. Miscreants honoring

Their annointed king .

[MaryMagdaline]

25. Love your phrasing!

[Wingus Dingus]

2. I know, I was just saying this on another thread. They're hiding his mental breakdown.

[Kid Berwyn]

11. It may be the biggest break in the entire campaign.

Had they made clear the guy’s brain is fried, the GQP might’ve had time to foist a replacement with critical faculties more suited for the office. And while they’ve nearly normalized the weirdo JD Vance, I do not consider him or any Republican currently in office, to be qualified for anything more strenuous than navel gazing. However, with the public being disinformed by Murdoch and Putin, there would still remain the threat of a dim-witted traitor rising up from the klieg lighted dung heap called MAGA.

3. The mainstream press can try to cover for Trump re: BJgate,

but that clip of him miming fellatio is zipping around the Internet. With social media we can do an end run around the media.

[Kid Berwyn]

13. Absolutely. It's like what Gala Dali said...

…about the Persistence of Memory, “No one can forget it after seeing it.”

[Dennis Donovan]

4. In fairness, all of MSNBC's pundit shows (Nicolle, Joy, etc) featured it yesterday.

The whole fellatio thing.

[AZSkiffyGeek]

15. Sssh - Don't contradict the moral panic!

[Kid Berwyn]

17. Their entire audience, though, is under a million people.

19. But their clips are played hundreds-of-thousands of times on social media n/t

[Kid Berwyn]

20. True, and I'm glad.

From Deadline:

For the 2023-24 season, World News Tonight averaged 7.72 million viewers, down 5% from a season earlier, while NBC Nightly News averaged 6.44 million, down 4%; and CBS Evening News averaged 4.65 million, down 4%.

These, the nation’s broadcast media, are essentially AWOL on the BJ story. This story encapsulates the mass media’s bias toward the wealthy owners’ interests. Otherwise, the coverage would be more like that given to Howard Dean’s scream.

[Orrex]

5. If Harris did it, that's all we'd hear about her for the next 100 years

Why doesn't he just fucking die already?

[chicoescuela]

6. It will be soon. He can't go on like this for that much longer

[Orrex]

8. Maybe he'll just fucking die already.

Actually, that would have been fantastic, to see him stroke out and die while fellating a microphone on live tv? Put that one in the history books.

[chicoescuela]

10. Ha but just stroke out and not die so he see how he will be humiliated

[Kid Berwyn]

18. Think so, too. Better after Wednesday...

…And better still for the Grim Reaper to wait until Trump has been convicted in federal court of Insurrection, Obstruction and Stealing Top Secrets.

Remember how Kenny Boy Lay suddenly died after conviction, but before sentencing? His wife got to keep the ENRON loot.

[Sky Jewels]

21. I want him to lose bigly, have an absolutely miserably 4 to 5 years, preferably in prison,

and then die a painful and lingering death after being gnawed by rats in his cell.

[Zambero]

9. We should be so lucky

Trump cannot help himself. He self-destructed in 2020 due to gross mismanagement of the COVID epidemic. Had he consistently gone along with sound policy advice from Fauci and other infectious disease experts, he could have bragged about developing a vaccine that will "save the country", "saving millions of lives", blah blah. But he went rogue like the idiot that he is. The silver lining was that he lost.

[keep_left]

33. And when he *did* brag about his moronically-titled "Warp Speed" initiative...

...which was just the government handing over money to the vaccine companies (more or less), his fans booed him off the stage! He never mentioned getting vaccinated to the MAGA chuds again.

[GreenWave]

14. As a blazing Dragon once said, "You never had a chance, boy!"

[H2O Man]

22. Recommended.

I suspect that the felon will face consequences for his ill behaviors, after the election. Jack Smith will see to that!

[OAITW r.2.0]

34. I suspect that he'll be sentenced to house arrest and will have to wear a ankle braclet.

And I also think that he will be barred from any social media comments....effectively silencing this clown for good.

[UTUSN]

23. K&R

[oldsoftie]

26. Someone on twitter replaced the mic handle with... well, you know.

A "male member".

[Eliot Rosewater]

27. He hasn't been physically knocking the hell out of people

Unless they are Women, ever noticed there’s not a single story not a single report not a single time mentioned in the history of the universe of Donald Trump in a physical confrontation with a male human being!

[Blue Owl]

28. Thar he blows.....

[DontBelieveEastisEas]

29. How did he blow it, exactly.

Well, Tuesday should be the climax, that is when it should come to a finish.

Everybody just needs to hold on until then.

[JI7]

30. In many videos they cut off the part where he does this

it's misleading becsuse it makes it seem like the controversy is over what happened just before.

[malaise]

31. Likewise for ABCNNBCBSFuxNoiseNutwork😂😀😂😀😂😀

Perfect

[agingdem]

32. He's not funny...he's a salacious sadistic malicious pathological liar...

he's vile...he appeals to the lowest of the low and they cling to him because he hates who they hate...he's their last chance to hold on to the remnants of an America that no longer exists...No Blacks/No Jews/No Latinos/No Gays..separate lunch counters/back of the bus/wives barefoot and pregnant at the mercy of their husbands...
