Trump's Second Term

[P.J. Denyer]

The only president ever impeached for voter fraud is planning a prime time address to warn the country about voter fraud.

Well, he is an acknowledged expert with practical experience.

 

[PitPat]

I take it you are joking?

Yeah, no sorry for the confusion. I would prefer networks not air it. I think it would cause more harm than good among people who are just apolitical and never cared before until they are more or less forced to watch it. Then they might get politically active.

The people who are pissed about it already have their minds made up. All I see is it attracting more election deniers than there were before.

Long story short I don't have a lot of faith in my fellow Americans to reason critically.

 

[PitPat]

If I do end up watching him tonight, I'll have to get really loaded first.

So....Thursday.

TINA SMITH: Researchers in MN recently made a breakthrough in childhood cancer in Black kids with a National Cancer Institute grant. But it seems to me that according to your proposed rule, this type of research wouldn't allowed because it's 'DEI.'

VOUGHT: We are against DEI policies. We have intended to rid of them whenever we possibly can ... the days of us funding CRT -- we're not doing that anymore

I'll bet.

ETA: Why isn't she at home, barefoot in the kitchen, taking care of the kids like a good trad wife?

Fortunately, X seems to have clobbered the audio for us non-x folks. Too bad, oh so too bad that I can't actually hear the lies any more.

Trump fires newly appointed US attorney in Seattle less than an hour after swearing-in

When KOMO News asked Rogoff about being the U.S. attorney in Seattle for less than an hour, he replied, "Greatest hour in my life."

Getting his grubby little hands in every facet of the DOJ, isn't he...

I guess we don't need or deserve a prosecutor.

 

[bruto]

Didn't Voight understand the question?

There's an interesting though common dilemma, isn't it? Two choices. Either he's too stupid to understand a clear question, or he understands it and the cement-headed bigotry of his policies is intentional. Not mutually exclusive, though.

Wasn't that a MAD Magazine feature?

I don't recall anything like that.

I wonder when he's gonna call the word affordability communism?

I wonder when he's gonna call the word affordability communism?

The only thing he knows about affordability is that there's a 'b' in it.

That's why I ain't watching. My liver needs a Trump break.

Poor people being able to afford things? Obvious Communism! At best they should be able to buy gruel from the Company Store.

Would it be too much to ask that he goes fully off into the deep end of conspiracy theories and insanity? MAGA won't care, but maybe, maybe enough people will finally see how unfit he is for office.

Yeah yeah I know, never going to happen.

Sure thing Bari Weiss, sure thing.

CBS News wants to take a “middle ground” approach on airing President Donald Trump’s national address Thursday night as network chiefs wrestle over whether to carry it live, according to a new report.

CNN Chief Media Analyst Brian Stelter gave his predictions on what TV networks will do when the cameras start rolling on Trump in the East Room of the White House at 9 p.m. ET.

The issue that networks are grappling with is whether they will be doing their viewers a disservice by airing a speech that could be filled with falsehoods about the 2020 election being stolen from Trump. The White House has been tight-lipped about what Trump will cover in his speech months away from the midterms, but the president did give a hint: “Free and fair elections.” Stelter said in his Reliable Sources newsletter Thursday that he has been told CBS may take a “middle-ground” approach by quickly editing clips of Trump’s address to air shortly after, rather than playing the whole speech live.

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!

The network’s controversial evening news host, Tony Dokoupil, would host a special report later in the 9 p.m. hour, fact-checking Trump’s claims.

Sure thing Bari Weiss, sure thing.

What, again?

 

[PitPat]

Well he gets so excited when he talks about it, I do wonder if he can refrain from going off script at all. If he starts improvising it could end up a way bigger trainwreck than you'd expect.

Honestly, I would find the statement that "The 2020 elections had serious problems and here's the evidence for what and why..." to be almost trivially easy to follow up in an honest, forthright, and voluminous manner. Republicans did a lot of deeply problematic crap as long-term groundwork for rigging elections in their favor in general beforehand and an extraordinary amount of deeply problematic crap directly involving that specific election.

Pretending that Trump even could stay on script to make a case of that nature in the first place in the imaginary circumstance that there was valid evidence for his oft repeated lies, though, is a deeply unreasonable pretense.
