    Bobert wasn’t in court for her son last week but made it to NY for Trump. Has MTG been in court to support Donnie?

    if true that’s really, really, really sad of her.

    on Newstalk Ciaran Cuddihy has his regular Trump US radio supporter giving out that the debates will be a setup because there will be no public audience (so Trump can play up to getting them to cheer him ) , also the rules will be that the microphone will be switched off after each candidate has answered the question so they can’t talk over the other, sounds fair?

    Also doesn’t like the idea that Trump will be quizzed about his various court cases like January 6, looking for extra 11000 votes in Georgia etc

    How long before a serial killer, mass shooter, mob boss etc etc starts to use Trumps tactics outside a court room and their lawyers say the former president of America set the precedent for the very public attacks on the court system and faced no consequences for his actions.

    Have eventually gotten around to watching Dopesick and had to laugh when the Rudster turns up shilling for Purdue Pharma during his peak post-911 national hero phase. Its not key to the story at all, they just throw it in and play him straight knowing the audience knows where it all goes as if to say, yeah, this **** happened too.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,625 ✭✭✭✭LambshankRedemption


    Would you not want your president quizzed on absolutely everything?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,028 ✭✭✭✭everlast75


    I am sick and tired of Cooper and Cuddihy's predecessors failing abysmally in holding any of their trump supporting contributors to any sort of ****ing account. It's pure journalistic malpractice and their ineptitude to fact check in real time is beyond galling.

    I’m just concerned about October.

    you know the October Surprise is already planned and this is the first election cycle that we’ve dreaded frankly for the past 2 decades and that’s when people get so good at digital manipulation that entire videos can be faked:

    Cooper has the same problem with Cal Thomas on TodayFM. You just have to let Trumpsters babble away or else they claim the MSM is censoring/silencing them or not giving equal time.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,028 ✭✭✭✭everlast75


    **** 'em.

    Prepare for the interview.

    Have your facts and figures ready.

    Circle back if you have to, but allowing them to spew non stop lies is a dereliction of duty.

    Matt and the rest of them should have some ****ing pride in their livelihood and do their job .

    They are generally trying to moderate man children. People that are still devoted to the Cult of Trump cannot be treated as a normal interviewee.

    They are constantly about 15 seconds away from banging on their reliable tried and trusted evil-MSM/Conspiracy/Victim tropes. If you want to try and keep any kind of structure to the discussion you just have to let them babble away. Otherwise they have a shít fit and tank the entire debate.

    Pride in their livelihood means they wouldn't be trying to interview loons with questionable concepts of discussion to begin with. But for the sake of debate they have to bring in the loons as thats all that is left cheering Trump.

    Jfc, bootlickers is 100% correct.

    Honestly, how far away are we from continual chants of "the leader is good, the leader is great, we surrender our will, as of this date"????

    Apparently, things got a little nasty yesterday in the house....

    "At tonight’s House Oversight hearing, Marjorie Taylor Greene made a derogatory comment about Jasmine Crockett and “false eyelashes.” Then the committee erupted. AOC trashed MTG, demanded an apology (MTG refused); then demands for clarifications on whether personal attacks are now allowed; a clash on motions and motions to table them. Comer forced a vote to table AOC’s motion, which succeeded.

    Then Rep. Crockett asked Comer: “I’m just curious, just to better understand your ruling: If someone on this committee then starts talking about somebody’s bleach blonde bad built butch body, that would not be engaging in personalities, correct?”

    A befuddled Comer replied: “What now?”

    Lol

    That would certainly be in character. Surprised he didn't show up for the FTX endorsements.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,145 ✭✭✭cunnifferous


    That's insane. In any normal country he'd be gone after this came out. Using the blame the wife excuse as well lol. I'd like to see a defendant try that excuse in SC case

    Do we recon thar Boebert is trying to be a VP pick with this act of her’s? She’d probably do it anyway but since she’s likely about to lose her place in Congress anyway, why not try to keep things rolling on the Trump ticket?

    Frankly, I’m wondering if that entire gaggle of GOP sociopaths who turned up to support him are hoping for the same. Lick the boots of Dear Leader in hope that he’ll he so grateful that he’ll make them VP or give them cabinet roles. Of course they probably don’t remember (or care about) how Donnie almost always throws away people when they cease to be useful to him. Rudy Giuliani and Mike Lindell are prime examples of what loyalty to the shoe-faced rapist will get you.

    Much like with Noem, I would be delighted if he went for Boebert, or even while we’re at it; let’s go full MTG. Don’t even attempt to mask Donnie’s nature with a more moderate VP pick, make them just as bad as him so that voters have no illusions of what voting for the traitor entails.

    Most Americans seem to be completely unaware of why the GOP even exists. Sure, a lot of people vote for it but its rigged the rules so comprehensively via gerrymandering, the senate and so on that the place is arguably not a democracy, more of an oligarchy.

    Important to remember and distinguish, it is only one party dragging it into the mud...

    Curious if the cops were called. That is what the US flag upside down means right? There is something badly wrong and someone needs help?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,298 ✭✭✭randd1


    I hope Trump wins.

    It's likely the US won't fall fully apart when he does, but he will certainly attempt to destroy, or at least embolden the GOP loons to destroy, a lot US institutions and implement a crazy religious based one-party state. And while there's a chance America won't be destroyed under Trump, there's a very good chance it will.

    Now it may lead to civil war or secessions of states down the line, but the more I see of Trump, Trump isn't the problem, he's merely the dear leader the cult looks up to. It's the army of religious crazed mental degenerates behind him that are the problem, and they won't go anywhere regardless of Trump's victories or defeats. If Trump loses and is considered to be yesterday's man, they'll just find a worse version of him to rally behind, like Gaetz or more likely someone as deranged as MTG.

    Quite frankly, any country who's politics read like the world's most outrageous and mentally handicapped soap opera (almost all of it down to the GOP and their hold of religion) needs to sort itself out, and it wont unless confederate style conservatism is soundly beaten, either by then pen of politics or by the guns of war.

    A Trump victory will simply force Americans to make the choice of what country they want that bit sooner.

    In a two-party system where one party has bent the rules in its favour to avoid engaging with voters, that's more than enough.

    I am assuming there is some constitution blocker preventing Arnold Scharwenegger from being POTUS.

    Because surely someone has thought, an Austrian immigrant with no trials against him, decent governor, and 20 years younger than the guy currently in charge, would be better than what we have now.

    Hmm, my comment got deleted.
