"This is 60 Minutes, and we can't put on things we can't verify." -- Leslie Stahl on tape as 60 Minutes puts on Trump claims it can't verify.
This entire ecosystem is such a fucking joke
I can scarcely remember a public figure who was so openly cowardly as Mike Pence.
He's the guy in Pulp Fiction who says "I'm not a hero, I'm just a coffee shop manager."
Did these motherfuckers just ask @KamalaHarris if her perspective is "the socialist or progressive perspective."
What in the actual fuck is wrong with white media? Do they even fucking HEAR themselves?
O'Donnell "The Democrats have lost the competition to control the Supreme Court."
Me: oh, it's a *competition* now? All right, okay.
O'Donnell "It's called court packing."
White media don't give a *fuck* b/c they know Biden won't walk out like a baby.
O'Donnell: "We'll ask Joe Biden about his age and mental fitness."
DID YOU ASK THE FUCKING LUNANTIC PRESIDENT ABOUT HIS AGE AND MENTAL FITNESS? DID YOU ASK HIM HOW MANY STROKES HE'S HAD IN OFFICE?
Sorry, I don't know why I expected better from @60Minutes. Honestly mainstream white people media only exists to prop up Trump.
DONALD TRUMP IS ONLY THREE YEARS YOUNGER THAN JOE BIDEN AND HIS BLOOD TYPE IS WORCESTERSHIRE!
O'Donnell: Do you think the president is racist?
Harris: Yes. [lists the racism]
60 Minutes: "the president has denied that he's a racist."
O'Donnell: blerg, LAW AND ORDER.
Really great exploration of that subject, television whites.
That was painful and stupid and I'm sorry I watched. What trash from @60Minutes. Trump bullied and intimidated Stahl. O'Donnell asked the pressing questions inquiring white supremacists want to know.

One of the key takeaways I'm left with from this debate is that we fully can't even talk to each other anymore. That was the president of the united states, 11 days out from a general election, speaking in a way that reasonably informed people outside his niche COULDN'T FOLLOW.
It's really, it's gotta be like walking into a mass, knowing nothing about Catholicism, and sitting there and hearing "this is flesh now and you MUST EAT IT TO BE SAVED."
Like, WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?
I know there've been ENDLESS articles about how Fox creates its own self-fulfilling cultural ecosystem. I've WRITTEN some of those articles. I get the *general problem* here.
But, just, DAMN. When I was 10 I had a better grasp on what Bush/Dukakis were REFERENCING than Trump.
I finally got around to reading the Rod Dreher dreck and, wow. Wow. What passes for intellectualism among Republicans these days is just, wow.
Consider, at one point the author quotes favorably the hysterical warnings of societal collapse's from a 1947 author worried about family "moral decay."
Then our guy says: "He wrote this in 1947. Zimmerman missed the Baby Boom coming, but otherwise, he was right on target."
WUT?
How you gonna quote a guy warning about declining birth rates, and then just wave away "HE MISSED THE BABY BOOM." Talk about: Other than that, how was the play Mrs. Lincoln.
My ranking of Game of Thrones seasons BY SOUNDTRACK:
Season 3
Season 6
Season 8
Season 1
Season 2
Season 4
Season 5
Season 7
Season 3 is giving you: the best instrumental version of Castomere, the full Chaos is a Ladder theme, the Ironborn theme, the song they actually play during the red wedding, and the mournful aftermath, AND Mhysa AND... FREAKING.. DRACARYS
Season 6 has the best song in the whole show (Light of the Seven) which is so good you can pretty much *SEE* what is happening. Season 8 the music is better than Season 8 the television show, as all its *musical* themes pay off big time, plus the Night King song.
So, here's the thing about the votes @SenSchumer just explained. Both @SenSusanCollins and @lisamurkowski *said* that we shouldn't proceed with a nominee before the election. It was meaningless & cost them nothing.
NOW, if McConnell tries to accept the nomination, they could ACT.
If Lindsey Graham pushes through the nomination without a quorum, Dems will ask the full Senate to reject that nomination. At that point, McConnell needs 51 votes (or 50, not sure if Pence gets to break the tie) to ignore regular rules.
If Collins and Murkowski keep their word, they only need one (or two) more Republican to vote in favor of *regular order*, like John McCain, as opposed to the illegitimate process to rush through a lifetime Supreme Court nominee.
In any event, any rule passed by the Senate can be undone by the next Senate. And a constitutional amendment is not happening. So...
Still the hypocrisy of @tedcruz, who voted in favor of killing the filibuster for SCOTUS nominees now wanting a supermajority for court reform is rich.
And HIGHLIGHTS the problem. Republicans think "Republican Win Always" should be the actual law.
