look at the piles of bones and gold teeth, and say; "the Jews should have made a deal with Hitler".
Today's media would go to Jewish leaders and ask; "Donnie Dipshit says you're responsible for this, do you think your lack of deal making led to this"?
Leon, or whatever the Fuck Musk his name is would post; "Interesting" to his XHitler account.
Dems better wake the fuck up.
There is no tragedy, evil, conflagration, natural disaster, or act of God that Donnie Dipshit and MAGAts will not exploit for political gain and power.
They will find a political, or marginalized scapegoat, and exploit that shit, no matter the truth, no matter the harm, the death and the destruction that exploitation causes.
If you are still looking for the limit to the depths of absolute hell that Donnie Dipshit and the MAGAts will sink to to solidify their nefarious power, STOP! There is no limit!
When a CAT 5 hurricane devastated Puerto Rico, he blamed local leadership.
When COVID hit, he blamed "science elites".
When a young white woman was killed by an undocumented immigrant, he blamed ALL immigrants.
When entire neighborhoods were washed away by floods in North Carolina, he blamed FEMA. NOTE: he said nothing about the NC MAGA supermajority legislature.
When geese made their annual migration from Ohio, he blamed Haitians for eating them, and threw in cats and dogs for good measure.
When wildfires hit California, he blamed environmentalists and the lack of rakes.
In EVERY instance, the "press" has treated his vile and disgusting shit as if it deserves "attention", or a "serious question to serious people"...IT DOESN'T!!!!!
WE NEED TO STOP PLAYING HIS GAME
The next time the media asks serious people to respond to his nonsense, it's not enough to say; "I will not play politics with this tragedy". Whether you like it or not, politics is being played. You either fight back, or get run over.
Personally, I think if I was dealing with a devastating tragedy, and some reporter asked me about some stupid shit Donnie Dipshit said, I'd be compelled to punch them in the throat.
Short of that, a forceful; "everything that fucking moron said is a fucking lie, and you're a fucking moron for asking about, or repeating it" is the appropriate response to such nonsense.
If you leave the curse words in, it might even go as viral as the Hawk-Tuah girl.
That's as good as gold in this fucked-up 2025 we're living in.
Sorry, but that is what we've devolved to.

is the media trying to force me to take every stupid fart out of his face anus seriously.
I swear to fucking God. That piece of amphibian shit could say that the moon is made of cheese, and some "reporter" would ask a Democrat to "address this serious topic."
The press does this, because they are desperate to get close enough to him to smell his farts.
It's stupid as fucking hell, but it's the world we are forced to deal with.

Spend a little more time to flatter djt so he keeps the door of media access to you ajar or open. You can't write stories about the God King if you are not on the media cocktail party - A List.

(2,941 posts)Every time he lies media must say that he lied.
Every time media asks him a question about his lies it must preface with you lied about
While sanewashing is an entertaining and relatively accurate description of the failure of media it must be stated that ANYONE responding to his lies must state that he lied. The response to his comments regarding the California wildfires and some non-existent document should not have been
it is fiction. It should have been it was a lie.
Pound again and again on the words lie and lying.

Biophilic
(6,552 posts)I believe that many of us, including our representatives in DC and in the states are planning and doing what we can on a short term basis. But thinking that there is anything that can be done quickly is wishful thinking. We need to develop a long term strategy and that will take longer and more perseverance.

(4,094 posts)past due fighting as they should, they let the gross imbeciles from the republican party say outrageous things they know the media will repeat but have done nothing about it. A new generation of Democrats like AOC comes along but the status quo of the Democratic party just wants to shut them up...Yes, they need to wake up, some of the RINOs in the Democratic party still have a lot of years on this earth, and like the guy Nancy Pelosi fought so hard to place on the committee (can't remember which one) that AOC would have been better fit, will continue doing what they have always done, and we know what happens when you do what you have been doing that doesn't work, they outcome will be the same.
I wrote a lot to the DNC, in Washington and Florida to push Kamala Harris to campaign more to the Latino community, to talk about Venezuela and the election that Maduro intends to rob today, but they did nothing, and I know for a fact from friends in Florida, Texas, Washington from different Latino nationalities, they all voted for trump because they felt Biden/Harris had not done anything for the Venezuelan people, and they believed trump's lies that he would. The saddest part of all is that trump admires Maduro, he thinks Maduro is strong and intelligent, why does he think that? Because his master Putin told him so...Its on Chapter 9 of John Bolton's book.

(148 posts)I want to play a new game called my game my rules. Chapter 1: Do you really want to see
how low I can go and how many lessons it takes. As a semi-intelligent being I assure you I
have a dark side that is equal if not darker than Darth Vader and I am absolutely willing to
show a very small glimpse of what a semi-intelligent person can do to a mindless, brainless,
brute force motherfucker such as you. I assure you when I am done with you, you will be running
to Mama's grave to dig her up and hide behind her skirt or crawl your sorry ass back in her
womb. I am a progressive and my path is forward, not straight, not easy but is doable with a
whole lot of study, work and common sense. That is called progress. In the beginning we
were all in the same pig sty but our ancient ancestors crawled out and decided what they found
was better than sitting around in pile of shit and decided to keep moving forward until journey's end.
So, get in line or get out my way, I am not going back, not now or ever.

When the smart people have decided they have nothing to lose, we're going to see some real shit go down.

(11,179 posts)I know that many people I interact with believe I have become an "alarmist" and "pessimistic" since November, but the truth is this shit show has been running non-stop since 2015 and the last act (possibly) is starting next week and will likely result in the termination of the Constitution, loyalty oaths being required, elections being cancelled and the fuckwad media whistling a happy tune and saying "yes sah bossman" as they assist in herding undesirables into 're-education' camps.
Doubt it if you wish to ostrich your way through this...but averting one's eyes does not change the picture, only the temporary view.
Mock it as hyperbole if it makes you more comfortable...but comfort level won't stop what's coming.
Play "go along get along" if it asauges your conscience...but know in the end, you can't undo capitulation to evil, it marks your soul.
What is happening and has been going on for the better part of a decade in full force is nothing short of the destruction of the American republic. Blatant morons, imbeciles and fools are not only being heard and amplified, they are being installed in positions of power and true consequence. Infectious disease does not give a fuck about your views on culture issues...germs (bacteria, virus, prion, etc.) CAUSE disease and death, and holistic voodoo, magic elixirs and snake oils STILL are fraudulent and nonsense.
The disaster is already happened. The depth of the consequences are to be heard, felt and understood in the coming years, but the die is cast, the game is over and the only real thing to do is figure out just what you are willing to live with and where your personal line of no return is. I know mine. I also know my capabilities and knowledge and what it can cause if applied to angry or vengeful purpose. I have no intention of going quietly into that good night and I will not care how many of the guilty or the passively acquiescing are taken out if/when I am pushed beyond that line.
We live in a lawless society, where the act of stating "that's illegal" is merely cover for someone utilizing nefarious means to manipulate the appearance of a nation of laws not men. We are a nation of money not laws OR men. We are no longer in a representative republic, nor a banana republic...we are in a fascist state already. Denying it, ignoring it or accepting it all amount to the same thing - supporting it. If you are not actively seeking ways to fight this, actively researching means and methods to be hurl your own metaphorical sabots into the gears of the machines, then you are my enemy and you have chosen your worth to me and your fate is no different than that of those I would spit my last breath at in hatred and anger.
Pick a side, but know that in this fight...NOT picking a side is indeed something you and your name shall own in perpetuity.

(1,138 posts)We all know that the media wont do that because they want his favor and they want their ratings. So we have to ignore it ourselves and when one of the other side brings it up like its a smart statement we have to laugh at them and tell them just how stupid it is and why.

(7,450 posts)They just chose their words carefully, and didnt necessarily have the need to show their asss on the world stage.
With trump who has a large ego accompanied by mental illness, his entourage of yes men keep enabling his looney behavior.
The rest of us poor folks dont get a buffer like that, we get the men in white coats carrying large butterfly nets instead.

(4,584 posts)Every time he lies, get in front of cameras and tell Americans the truth. Shout it from the roof tops and I mean it literally if we have to. I'm only seeing it from a few now, but it has to be everybody.
The Democratic Party is the only hope this country/world has. And even it has failed the people. The farther right the RepParty moved, the more the DemParty moved to the middle. Then the RepParty moved farther to the right and the DemParty moved over the middle line to the right! Inch by inch over the years and here the fuck we are. Dems need to turn back into real Dems! I want to see/hear every single democrat raising hell every time they stick a mic in their face! Excoriate the GD media! We cannot except anymore "new normal" shit that the media pushes every time the right gets in and pulls our society to the right. Dems need to get off the pot and get real damn busy if we want to save our country. There isn't a GD liberal bone in the GD media.
The only liberal in the media should be us in their face every time they ask one of their dumb ass fucking questions.
Get proud and be loud!

When we win, give statehood to all our territories if they want it. Expand the court to 15 and get all pro-choice.
I know I sound like a MAGAt, but I'm a socialist. One person I heard for president is Mark Cuban.

(4,094 posts)Enough of the BS by Democrats and the media, it is amazing that Democrats have not learned that republicans are just liars and will resort to controversial statements just to have the media repeat them, create anxiety, and piss Democrats. The time to fight hard is way past due.
