What attack made Trump a better candidate?

Why are people giving MSM a pass? They ignored Harris for four years. Then they had the gall to say her policies were exactly the same as Biden’s (I guess low unemployment is the same, but no one wants higher unemployment).

Seriously, what bickering made Trump a more desirable candidate? Sex for all men?

Democrats did internet ad buys as well as interviews.

I’m sorry you don’t like Harris, but Jesus Christ wasn’t available.

@WordsmithFL

Until people start losing their federal jobs.

Never underestimate the power of bad people to take bad advice and turn it into bad action.

That’s why AIDS is a problem. That’s why COVID is a problem. As long as it affects a minority at first, the government will pretend it’s not a problem.

Trump will encourage slashing the federal bureaucracy. He’ll pop the rivets of the Federal government until shit breaks.

Then he will blame democrats.

@ucantstop_me

I said he would kill more people than his last term.

And with RFK Jr more people will die.

Great 😱

“This anger you're seriously misdirecting could be better applied towards more productive ways of dealing with the present clusterfuck.”

I didn’t make Sanders say these things. You give me far too much power. I just read history. I gave you links.

The present clusterfuck has ZERO to do with Dems not helping working class. Low unemployment helps the working class.

Sanders has profited handsomely from capitalism. We have not.

@hallmarc

My point is that MSM is doing the “Hey, this is a disaster for democracy but fuck it, WE aren’t responsible despite is lying for eight years, diminishing the damage by Trump and giving him free ad space and rarely challenging his lies. That’s on the internet. Because we don’t influence”

If MSM didn't influence no one would be buying ad space.

This is the NYT ad revenue has been increasing. That doesn’t happen when it becomes irrelevant.

@hallmarc

I am quite aware that what I am saying sounds like a bubble. Let me point out why MSM is lying and they know they are lying.

One: it is quite easy to blame the internet for all social ills. ADHD? Internet. Violence? Internet (and gaming). Drug abuse? Internet. Violence against women? Internet.

It’s the easy-blame bogey man. But here is the thing: thr Presidential and VP debates didnt happen on Joe Rogan. Biden didn’t drop out because of internet randos.

@TheAbbotTrithemius @jjGravitas

I’m sorry my brain is so simple that I’m incapable of distinguishing between sexual assault and, well, sexual assault. To my simple brain, they seem exactly the same.

“Politico reported Thursday morning that Sanders' national field director, Robert Becker, had allegedly sexually harassed and assaulted another female staffer on the night of the Democratic National Convention in 2016.”

@TheAbbotTrithemius @jjGravitas

“‘Sexual abuse’ is a misleading allegation here as it suggests sexual assault and that Sander’s himself had done it.”

Well, he sure as fuck didnt prevent it.

And just for your information it was called sexual assault.

Now, I’m sorry I’m not a legal beagle, but I can read.

@TheAbbotTrithemius @jjGravitas

My goddess, did you think this makes his campaign in the right? How does this make ANYTHING better?

“Flores added sexism isn't an issue isolated to the Sanders campaign, saying it commonly occurs in campaigns.”

So, by his campaign sexually harassing women, it was no worse than any other campaign?

Do you understand how this does NOT MAKE ANYTHING BETTER?

Is your argument that as long as it isn’t WORSE than other campaigns then it’s okay?!?

JFC!

@TheAbbotTrithemius @jjGravitas

Let’s start with this non-apology:

“I am not going to sit here and tell you that we did everything right in terms of human resources, in terms of addressing the needs that I’m hearing from now, that women felt they were disrespected, that there was sexual harassment which was not dealt with as effectively as possible,” Sanders initially said to Cooper.

There should have been ZERO sexual harassment.

If the best he can do is a non-apology, we don’t need him.

@TheAbbotTrithemius @jjGravitas

Sanders can’t even agree that women have rights to their own bodies.

“Sanders endorsed Heath Mello, a mayoral candidate this year in Omaha, who had sponsored or voted for several anti-abortion bills during his time in the Nebraska state legislature. When criticized, Sanders said such choices might be necessary ‘if we’re going to become a 50-state party.’”

Fuck him.

@hallmarc

Republicans ran the worst candidate in history. I cannot think of a worst candidate.

This should have been a gimme.

But if you examine the headlines and text, MSM conveniently forgot he was a criminal. Forgot his admin shed jobs. Forgot he was a rapist. They kept touting how jobs were better and pays was better and everything Trump COULD. NOT. CONTROL. They literally did advert FOR him.

Did Harris get equal time? Hell no.

MSM is in denial. Or doesn’t care.

@hallmarc

The US shed over TWO MILLION jobs.

Then told it was WORSE under Biden (Biden has had the best employment gains in almost 50 years). Facts don’t color perceptions, but a complicit press does a damn fine job of filling in the gaps. I might be doing well, but what about all those people the press says are doing badly under Biden? And why is Biden lying about jobs?

This is the problem. The press had a field day with inflation and when it came down, kept acting as if it was high.

@hallmarc

The “it’s the economy stupid” doesn’t really work: when Bush was prez, unemployment rose to 7%.

Biden inherited an economy that was reeling from Trump’s mismanagement. But Biden managed to get it near to pre-COVID as well as unemployment to less than 3.5%.

The reporter discusses the effect but conveniently ignores the cause of WHY people think their economic situation is worse than it actually is—because for eight years they have been told it was great under Trump (it wasn’t)…

@QueenOfEverything @carmen

I yelled, “HOLY SHIT!!”—seriously. I really didn’t see that coming.

@ordenauta

Twitter eventually will be bots posting angry rage tweets at other bots.

There will be no humans involved.

Musk will then sell it arguing it is the most Freedom of Speech social network site. Grok will pillory Musk and will be live “executed” by Musk. Twice. So the West coast can see it. There will be a stutter right before the second execution as the video stream cuts out. Musk can be heard cursing and telling people, “to get the stream going or we murder your fam” X goes dark.

So who did Musk tap to run Twitter?

A criminal. Of course he did.

“He was pardoned for a case connected to 2010 charges of making false statements. He also faced charges related to sanctions violations against Iran, which were later overturned. Banki spent almost two years in prison before he was released in November 2011 following a successful appeal.”

Republicans are shitty winners:

“ Sen. Thom Tillis warned his Senate Judiciary Committee colleagues Thursday morning that they would face consequences if they approved a judicial nominee that he and Sen. Ted Budd are vehemently opposed to.
They did it anyways. ”

Now Tillis vows retribution. Because of course he did.

Finished season two of The Diplomat—and just read a review of season two which basically said, “I can’t buy her character anymore…”

What, like Season One was realistic? (Season One had her on the edge of fucking the Foreign Secretary who, TBF is pretty hot—TL;DR, you’re not supposed to fuck people in high positions of power if your are a diplomat, EVEN if they are really, really hot. Stupid rules).

So don’t get your panties in a twist if a TV show isn’t realistic.

But it’s a lot of fun.
