Hey media. I got it on Slow Joe. Now some stories on the Epstein leaks from DeSantis, sprinkle some Anonymous leaks for spice. And lets agree that in addition to being a fraud and felon, Donny does some pretty f'd up things to children and voters. drive.google.com/drive/folders/…
This case just won't go away. But damn did Donny and Jeffrey try hard. The orginal "October Surprise" Doe case was linked to Jerry Springer's producer but then all the other links appeared this month. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/3130…
In 2016, Trump was a bullshitting realty show clown who got caught talking rapey in a TV bus. In 2024 he's killed thousands of Americans through incompetence, emptyed the treasury, spiffed the rich and has been convicted of the crimes we suspected him of commiting. Is that news?
Biden's aging is real. Trump put a bag of burning dog shit on Joe's doorstep in 2021. He fixed it. He has a team of experts that get shit done. That's the story. Trump having a dirty SCOTUS and a long criminal adjudication ahead. That's a story. But there is no equivalency.
The New York Times and others felt that Biden didn't do a good enough job of "countering Trump's lies". He did fine. Voters are long past trying to defend or explain Trump. Americans have picked sides and are waiting to do battle. And yes Trump will try another coup. Let him.
The media can parrot what candidates are saying but they should fact check. provide context and background. Creating the illusion that Biden's health impacts Trump's venality or criminalty is a false message. It is our job as voters to deal that brutal blow to Trump in November
What is critical is the media's investigation of the mechanisms and frauds being perpetrated by the extreme right, foreign nations and special interest groups. Biden must bring to life powerful executive mandates and immediate blocks to Trump's plans of perfidy. That's my advice.
It beggars the imagination that Americans are evenly split between a crafty codger and a rapey dodger. But this is why Coke and Pepsi exist.

John Oliver is what every news broadcast wishes they were. Jon Stewart, SNL and Comedy Central have captured the tone of American voters.
I have not finished the almost thousand pages of "old people yelling at liberal clouds' But there is a shocking lack of actual solutions, budgets, timelines etc. Just ex Trump farticians expounding on programs they never instituted when they were in power. static.project2025.org/2025_MandateFo…
Trump's Manifesto is hedonistic, egocentric, criminal and ultimately incompetent. The USG is built and hopefully staffed by those on the opposite side of that moral compass. The Heritage Manifesto is missing something. A competent dictator that can execute their fascist fantasy.
In the coming era of AI churnalism we will no longer need opinion essays.
2021: It really doesn't matter what the media says. "Coverage of Biden’s early days in office was modestly more negative than positive, and most of the stories were centered around his ideology and policy agenda rather than character and leadership " pewresearch.org/journalism/202…
My educated guess is that the media wants to increase engagement by younger readers and drive conflict. Always good for ads. "We live in the era of a gerontocracy. Were Trump to win, he’d be 82 at the end of his second term — older than Biden is now." vox.com/politics/35887…
18 January 1983: President Reagan meets with Rupert Murdoch and his (and Trump's) lawyer Roy Cohn and Charles Wick Director of the United States Information Agency (USIA) at the White House. Reagan needed propaganda to support covert wars.
August 4, 1983: President Reagan with Nancy Reagan greeting Donald Trump during a reception for the 18 recipients of Reagan scholarship to Eureka College in the State Dining Room. Reagan hated Democrat Trump. politico.com/news/magazine/…
July 7, 1983: Murdoch "pitched in to help the Casey-Raymond outreach program for Reagan’s Central American policies. Documents released during the Iran-Contra scandal in 1987 indicate that Murdoch was soon viewed as a source for the private funding." consortiumnews.com/2015/01/28/how…
40 government officials indicted or jailed due to Watergate. Trump all by his lonesome has 88 charges. 1,265 J6 people charged. Growing number of MAGA election related folks getting ready to go down. At some point we will do the math. Oh did I mention he is running for office?
History is important. The number of overtly criminal acts committed by Trump and his supporters while he served in the White House while staffed with lawyers and advisors is unequaled in American history.
The GOPs effort to normalize criminality via Trump, SCOTUS and his supporters is being watched closely by every foreign government, international criminal group, special interest and corporate entity.
The source of Trump's desperately needed $10M laundered from a Gulf nation through Egypt eleven days before the election 2016. Egyptian dictator Sisi and Trump met on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly to seal the deal. emptywheel.net/2024/06/23/an-…
Trump and his son in law (and by proximity, Ivanka) have and continue to be greased by the KSA and UAE to further their self preservation and protect their failures. Sisi, Trump's favorite dictator was installed by the UAE on June 8, 2014 in a coup. americanprogress.org/article/trumps…
Feinberg was described as a jock sniffer who wanted a private army. He did a reach around for Jared on 666 and his Tier One taught the Saudi Tandoori team. Donny's got bills to pay. Worth a read. newyorker.com/business/curre…
There is plenty of stuff out there on Tier 1 and the Saudis. Which is not that unusual once you get an ITAR permit for skill transfers. The failed rendition/murder of Khashoggi is just an example of misapplied skill. Halal butchery is not taught at Tier 1.theintercept.com/2021/06/24/kha…
Feinberg.Cerberus was DynCorp which was ingested along with other major contractors into Amentum. Nobody writes scandalous stories about giant blobby USG contractors. "On April 21, 2021, the DynCorp name was discontinued, and employees and services transferred to Amentum"
