Let’s pick on Jon Stewart. Imagine he makes $5 million a year (he makes more, but this makes the math easier). To HIM it’s like a lb of ground beef costs a nickel (assuming you make about $50,000 a year).
That gives you a rough idea how cushy his life is.
Let’s put it in perspective: a basic model 3 would take ALL of your yearly salary. For Stewart? It’s feels like about $500 bucks. That’s why the rich have iPhones without protection: they cost practically nothing!
My father watched as we defeated the Nazi’s.
Now we elected one as President.
And the media cheered him on.
Please do not underestimate thr power of the Press. The Founding Fathers KNEW it was powerful and called it the Fourth Estare for a reason.
Ben Franklin KNEW the power of the press and smuggled on into France to print pro-US literature.
We would call that “propaganda” today.
Anyone who says the press didn’t affect the election is a liar and needs to read some history.
Trump promised people would be rich like himself. That all they had to do was believe in him.
The problem with this story? Trump was given almost have a BILLION dollars. His father had deep pockets. The majority of Americans will never see $100 million in their lifetime, much less $400 million.
Trump lived a VERY privileged life. He has zero in common with the majority of Americans.
Yet here we are.
Someone he kept secrets about his meetings with our enemy, Putin.
This is insane.
AMC has a series titled Monsieur Spade and it is a Sam Spade in 1950’s France.
OMG it is sooooo good. The writing is sumptuous, the acting is true and the mystery is mysterious.
We’re loving every minute.
👍👍
Them: You know, Democrats lost because they ran a bad candidate.
Me: No. She was an excellent candidate. Trump is a convicted criminal, rapist and liar. He stole government documents. He is a racist, sexist and probably a pedophile. He is a conman and grifter. He is quite literally the worst candidate in the history of Americans running for President.
I’m sorry if you think Harris is an awful candidate but Jesus Christ wasn’t available.
When the 0.05% try to assure US, the actual majority, “don’t give up hope, I can still run to Canada and avoid this clusterfuck.”
‘Jon Stewart concluded his live coverage of the election by encouraging viewers to remain hopeful, even in the face of a potential Donald Trump presidency.’
Stewart LITERALLY told us he was on the of the racist comic.
But we shouldn’t give up hope? We’ll be in thr camps while he is crossing the border.
Fuck him.
Fuck all collaborators.
The people to blame are those who AGAIN normalized Trump.
All the news media.
All the comedians.
All of the assholes that equates the Democrats with the Republicans.
No, the two parties are not the same.
I can prove that with something y’all don’t believe in: history.
You had all the information. It was literally at your fingertips.
But instead y’all used it to view porn and YouTube videos.
You intentionally LIMITED your world view. You listened to what BILLIONAIRES told you.
Right now I feel just like I did when the diagnosis for my cancer came back.
Numb.
I am empty. No rage. No anger. No frustration. Not even a sense of sadness.
Just a vast chasm where my soul should be.
I am a vacuum where not even a molecule of emotion resides.
I function on muscle memory. I post but the the anger, blame, the sadness is a façade. The actual me is gone.
I want to believe there is a future with me in it but I feel like the days I was on chemo.
Blank.
Well, this proves that the younger generation is just as sexist and racist (if not more so) than the older generations. Not blaming anyone, they are who they are.
I had HOPED for a better result.
The reality is that the younger generation is WORSE the Olds. The Olds at LEAST passed the Voting Rights Act, ALMOST got the ERA passed and actually believed in science.
Gen X (RFK Jr, et. al) think science will kill us.
These are ALSO people that can’t decide of Climate Change is real.
And to the New York Times, WaPo, Jon Stewart, John Oliver and other “comedians” who demonized Democrats to get laughs or normalized Trump and gave him free as space—I truly hope your money buys you the piece of mind as you watch good Americans get royally fucked.
You had your chance to do the right thing. You failed. Pat yourselves on the back for being Nazi collaborators.
Power corrupts. I hope your cash helps drown out the screams. You can always stuff it in your ears.
Can’t blame this one on the Boomers or thr olds.
This was all the under-60’s.
Y’all blamed us for Trump last time.
This time, it’s all y’all.
Boomers and the rest of the Olds were the minority of the electorate in this election.
The racism and sexism is coming from inside YOUR hood.
And yet there will STILL be those who will want to blame Boomers.
Who will you blame when we are all dead?
