I’m always amazed no WH reporter ever snaps and says, “What the f**k are you talking about??”
I mean, if a celebrity were this consistently incoherent, he or she would catch flak in the press.

but POTUS does not. it’s just lots of nodding from reporters and pretending he’s sane

reminder: media elites and party establishment aren’t “picking” the nominee. voters are

why this urge to erase them?
hard to imagine how media “picked” Biden given the fact his news coverage for entire month of Feb was a dumpster fire, following setbacks in IA, NH, NV.
i.e. five days before Super Tuesday NYT ran front-page piece abt how Biden was doomed that day.

my latest—given Trump's utterly demented CDC briefing yesterday, press really needs to take its foot off "Biden gaffes" pedal; pressrun.media/p/memo-to-medi…
media gotcha "gaffes" narrative is so 2012.

it *completely* ignores what Trump has done to presidency; the fact that on some days he does not speak a single coherent sentence.
how many “Gaffes Might Derail Trump’s Re-election” reports have you see?

exactly

1. quick thread on when press picks "narrative" for Dem candidates. (spoiler: they're almost always assigned by the GOP); pressrun.media/p/memo-to-medi…
2. the narratives are almost impossible to replace once they've been assigned, even if voters prove over and over that they don't care about narratives, like "gaffes". (see: Super Tuesday)
3. the narratives are assigned completely without context with regards to what's happening in the WH. i.e. 'OMG, Biden produces verbal missteps' is pounded by the media, even through Trump on many days cannot produce a single coherent sentence.

Maybe the epidemiologists are wrong. Maybe! Maybe the virologists are wrong. And the economists. The public health specialists. The climate scientists. The meteorologists, hurricane experts, diplomats, national security experts, statisticians, ecologists, architects . . .
. . . wildfire/forestry experts, war crimes prosecutors, Federal Reserve, historians, aviation specialists, engineers, intelligence officials, doctors and nurses, physicists, immunologists, criminologists, human rights investigators, terrorism experts . . .
. . . psychiatrists, constitutional lawyers, energy experts, biologists, political scientists, tax accountants, head trauma specialists, PTSD counselors, and oncologists —

— *maybe* they’re all wrong!

Or maybe Donald Trump doesn’t know what the f**k he’s talking about.

sadly i believe they went here. i'm sure the hijacking took place in all of them, which in turn was taken over by the lockheed satellite. they went were nothing would ever be found or have to be explained.
twice, around 9 and 9:30 fighter jets were scrambled to the east over the ocean. they were following the original signals before the GPS spoofing showed the airplanes locations over new york, washington and pennsylvania
They gave themselves a get out of jail free card week before 9/11. Report shows dangers of GPS spoofing in aircraft. Now they could claim "working on it" The secret Lockheed satellite three days before 9/11 was responsible for air traffic cluster f@#k.

Thread: News Summary from the Week that Was (14-20 July)

1. Here are the week’s stories that the legacy media either skipped, obfuscated, or never provided the proper context and follow-up.
2. Let’s get started with a hoot from Kurt Schlichter, who opines on the Democrats’ dilemma presented by the whackos in “The Squad” (AOC, Omar, Tlaib, and Presser). Here are just a few excerpts from a great article:

<quote>
2A. The pain of your enemy should be your joy, and we conservatives are pegging the joymeter right about now watching the political sepsis that is CongressKid AOC and her merry band of idiots running rampant within the flabby body of the Democrat Party.

Thread: On Rules of Engagement Plus More, Part II

1. Bad rules of engagement in Afghanistan and Iraq got people killed, needlessly. Part I of this series provided an overview of what ROEs are in general, with some expert commentary on bad ROEs, etc.
2. Part II continues commentary from a couple of folks who wish to remain anonymous (special ops, covert CIA contractor, Marine) on Iraq ROEs and the politicization of both the Afghanistan and Iraq campaigns. I then wrap up the series with a short summary and conclusions.
3. <begin quotes> Same-o for Iraq, but by then the FBI had honed their skills at causing grief. I hate to say it, but I once let three guys get away that had lit me up with a PKM at night, landing me (alone) on the side of the road.

I was about to call it a night, but okay since you're here bear with me.

First, let me start out by saying that I respect you as a veteran and thank you for your service to the safety of our country.
As the son and grandson of two vets, I can't say enough about the sacrifice that you guys make. So thank you. That said, I bet there's stuff that we agree on and perhaps more that we don't. But that's life amongst humans.
But what I take most exception to is the way that you've attacked pros, calling for companies to fire some, going after them in ways that go beyond the personal. I know you think it's just a light roasting and why do they take it so seriously and sperg out?

(THREAD--7 tweets). Yesterday I said that I agreed completely with the tweeters who approved of the decision of Michael Schmidt at the NYT to let Trump free associate, without challenges, at the “impromptu” interview at Mar-a-Lago. tinyurl.com/yd49823x
1/ Now we have WaPo reporting that WH staff and advisers were “surprised,” “frustrated,” and “embarrassed” by that freewheeling interview, where none of them were present. tinyurl.com/yaggqz5c
2/ The article doesn’t say what the staffers and advisers were “frustrated” and “embarrassed” about, but the interview gave them plenty of reason to feel that way.
