Again and again, they prove their projection is all about intent, and the hypocrisy doesn’t matter. They SAID someone did something they intended to do, and even though it’s bullshit, they go and do it.
In this case, bitching about 60 Minutes “helping” the Harris campaign by editing for time, when they intended to force journalists to capitulate to them editing for actual content.
The big networks have all fallen. They are no longer the 4th branch. They are just spineless clowns.
CBS keeping that part would have boosted their ratings like nothing else in the history of United Shtates.
“I don’t know who he is,” Trump cut in, but, “I know he got a four-month sentence or something like that, and I heard it was a Biden witch hunt.”
lol, can’t even pick one line of bullshit and stick with it
This guy loses his cool eating a bowl of cereal. He can’t go five minutes without fuming over rainbows or something. That ape is not well by any metric.
The fucking media are such pussies.
I wish news outlets were run by journalists who burn with a passion to be the one who breaks the story that turns the whole world upside down, and not money grubbing billionaire parasites.
Is the unedited version leaked and archived anywhere?
I think I’ve seen the transcript referenced in people covering the story.
Didn’t he just sue 60 minutes for editing the interview with Harris?
Yes. My point.
Don’t forget Fox News edited his interview on the release of the Epstein files.
“I don’t know who he is” - this answer should be immediately disqualifying for a president who just gave out a pardon. They should have asked about 50 follow-up questions just based on his incompetence at pardoning people just because Biden’s justice dept found them guilty.

Disqualifying from what? You think there’s some guy running around the White House who is going to hand the President a yellow-card?
Congress has been rubber stamping the Unitary Executive Theory since at least Reagan and Iran-Contra. The courts have been fully Executive-Pilled since Bush. Presidents get to do whatever they fucking want. Nixon was a piece of shit, but he was 100% correct in his assessment of the power of the office.
Disqualifying from public opinion as someone who deserves the role of president. Just like all the other things that he’s done at least five times a day for the past ten years, the fact that he can’t identify someone he just pardoned should clue his followers in to the fact that he’s not capable of doing the job.

The presidency isn’t awarded via merit. Who would you even trust to make that judgement? They’d effectively be a kingmaker, making their selection “President-by-Proxy”.

Changpeng Zhao is a bitcoin shilling billionaire whose firm was instrumental in laundering Trump-branded cryptocurrency through his World Liberty Financial organization. You can read this denial from two angles.

This is Trump effectively distancing himself from a person he took a massive bribe from. In that case, he’s definitely “doing his job” from the perspective of his ultra-orthodox libertarian and paleoconservative supporters. Because the job of the President (really, of everyone, as Objectivism teaches) is to protect the property class and collect a vig as reward.

This is Trump milling through so much minutae on a daily basis that he can’t recall particulars of a single action taken a week ago on the spot. At which point, why would any of his supporters be angry at him for looking busy? Nothing about the pardon is unappealing on its face. If he doesn’t remember the details, I’m sure any one of his supporters - many of whom are cryptobros or business scammers in their own right - can fill in the gaps.
Either way, the problem you’ve got with Trump is his policy, not his cognitive ability. He could be a literal Chinese Room or Philosophical Zombie, laundering inputs into outputs without any actual mental inputs, and it wouldn’t matter. He pardoned a wealthy financial ally in exchange for a kickback. That’s what Presidents (particularly Republicans) have a long history of doing. You’re not going to find many people in his base who are angry at him for it.
FFS, he could pardon Ghislaine Maxwell at this point and his base would probably still love him based on how many are pro-pedophilia.

He sued them for editing the interview with Harris but he would also sue them for showing the parts of his interview that make him look bad
This is fine
- GOP and their base
Yuuuuup
Wouldn’t do to have their viewership disillusioned by any realities
He should sue them for editing his interview
Well someone should
Shocked, yes shocked I am to find that journalism is taking a knee to fascism in this corporate establishment.
Totally not alarming. A good solid blue vote in the midterms in just 12 short months away will fix that (once Johnson figures out how to also swear in the non GOP congress people)
A blue wave is not coming. Go look at projections for 2026.
Go look at projections for 2026.
I mean, I’ve seen pollsters all over the map. But I also saw “Blue Wave in 2024/2016” and “Red Wave in 2020/2018”. Who are you looking at and why do you trust them more than that lady who said Harris would win Iowa by 5 points?
Historically, newly elected Presidents eat shit in the midterm. Bush Jr was a singular exception, riding a huge reactionary wave through 2002. And he had 90% approval ratings at his peak. I’d be curious to know what you think Trump is working with that cements his very narrow House and Senate margins against a bunch of angry “Throw The Bums Out” voters (many within his own party).
2026 midterms will be the test run for the fixed elections in 2028.
Will fix what? At best it’s a patch until some other state actor rips it off.
And here we have it folks, the reason we are where we are right now
Because I recognize that presidential power has only ever expanded in the last 75 years and nothing has curtailed it? I didn’t say no temp fix will happen, but it’ll likely be similar to the effect Obama or Biden has had: still expanding presidential power, just at a slowed pace.
We are here because Democrats keep trying to be centrists instead of a left movement and that keeps power squarely in Republicans hands, not because I recognize what Democrats haven’t done.
🤡
One of the top 5 anyway
ffs
