Writer, activist, philosopher, and teacher Angela Davis said, “ I am no longer accepting the things I cannot change. I am changing the things I cannot accept. Her twist on the 12-step recovery mantra would be good advice for the would-be Speaker of the House, Rep. Kevin McCarthy. McCarthy has...
Gaffes
How do you know Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are doing a great job and avoiding gaffes that might derail their agenda? Because Fox’s sputtering outrage machine is belching out stupid shit like this: 'DISGUSTING' DISRESPECT: Vice President Kamala Harris ignites outrage over 'misfire' Memorial Day tweet https://t.co/J8VMtU2OCM — Fox...
The Malignant Mangoface, who can’t keep his lies consistent for two sentences, thinks he doesn’t need to prep for his first debate with Joe Biden. (Any bets on whether there will be a second?) That’s because he has repeatedly and persistently swallowed his own flavor-aid when it comes to Biden,...
Uh … sure. God forbid that ever happen. (Second tweet) x TRUMP: “You better vote for me or you are going to have the greatest depression you have ever seen.” pic.twitter.com/EltgyLJKlw— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) August 29, 2020 Let’s see, the current unemployment rate is 10.2 percent, GDP plunged nearly 32 percent...
He is so fucked: With Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner on record as saying nothing about Obamacare since well before the pandemic hit America–and Republicans in Washington pressing their case in the U.S. Supreme Court to have the national health care law overturned–activists stood outside of Gardner’s office in downtown Denver...
Here’s the latest news courtesy of Qunnipiac University’s latest poll: If the election for president were being held today, former Vice President Joe Biden would receive 49percent of the vote and President Donald Trump would receive 41 percent, according to a Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pea-ack) University national poll of registered voters released...
My elderly Mom and I committed election fraud Friday. I sent in our absentee ballots by mail instead of voting in person with everyone in the city of Louisvlle at the Kentucky Fair and Exposition Center on June 23rd. Well, a certain orange baboon in the White House claims that...
I heard poor and superficial spinning on Joe Biden’s gaffe with Charlamagne Tha God on “The Breakfast Club” all day. I mostly remained unengaged on the issue until I was pleasantly surprised that Sam Seder, host of The Majority Report, took the appropriate and substantive take on what was actually missing...
Trump still refers to the 1918 pandemic as happening in 1917 because he saw the recent war movie, which was not about the flu. Remember how he got the US to build a southern border fence by using “wall” as a mnemonic device for “immigrants”. Trump’s grandfather died in the...
The corporate mainstream media continued to play favorites even in the one on one debate. CNN's Dana Bash tried to stymie Bernie Sanders' Social Security challenge of Joe Biden's past positions. Bernie would have none of it. Bernie did not let Bash get away with attempted smear x x YouTube Video Dana...
I am not a doctor, let me get that straight right off. I do want to talk about what I have learned from speech therapist when my son/grandson was born with a cleft pallet and had not only hearing but speech problems. I also spoke in length to Mel Tillis...
I almost feel sorry for Joe Biden, especially with regards to how the Media has turned on him after he lost in both Iowa and New Hampshire. Let me explain. Since Joe Biden got into the race for the Democratic nomination, the Media and the Biden campaign have been telling...
Oh, look! A Biden scandal, once removed, that kind of looks like something resembling a scandal — even though it’s already been thoroughly debunked by numerous fact-checkers! Let’s spend the next six months navel-gazing about it. Hey, it worked with Hillary! She’s not president, is she? x Here's @kenvogel of the...
Watching White House press conferences these days is like watching psych ward orderlies try to convince their patients not to eat live pigeons whole in the exercise yard. Yesterday was no different. After whining that President Obama enjoyed the “benefit” of 0 percent interest rates and two payroll tax cuts (you know, because his...
Gearing up for another Democratic primary season, journalists have already settled into the “gaffe” newsbeat, posting extensive updates on verbal miscues and how they could supposedly doom certain candidates. Specifically, the media narrative is that Joe Biden's gaffes will hurt him if he is the nominee against Donald Trump in...
Let’s see. We have a madman in the White House who encourages violence and death and practices both with his policies, but the NYT takes the time to write about Joe Biden’s gaffes. For fucking real? Some of his advisers said in interviews that they were privately nervous that his...
Pot, meet kettle. The Hill: President Trump reportedly praised Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) for having a “certain talent,” going so far as to compare her to the former first lady of Argentina, Eva Perón. But the president tempered that praise by saying that the freshman lawmaker “knows nothing,” according to the soon-to-be released...
It’s been noted ad nauseam that the bar has been lowered so far and so frequently for Donald J. Trump that some pundits will insist he looks “presidential” — no, they mean it this time — if he doesn’t crap in his own hand and start flinging said feculence at orphans. And guess...
Hello, Mr. Biden. I’ve been selected to talk with you. OK, it was me, but still… what I have to say is important. Unlike the other advice you’ve been getting, mine will actually prove helpful. Forgive my tone, but this is straight talk that might just right the ship. First,...
In a 1991 James Fallows wrote a piece in the Atlantic trying to explain what exactly he found so obnoxious about the magazine, the Economist. To do this he related an anecdote about a government official going on to him about about he’d just read on Japan’s economic miracle. This book, he...
I’ve noticed this before, and I’m sure you have too. Certainly, Glenn Kessler, the indefatigable Washington Post fact-checker, is all too familiar with the phenomenon. Donald Trump doesn’t just lie — often. He repeats the same lies over and over and over again, long after being caught tiny-orange-handed. Way back in...
