Theoretically mastodon can show up on Lemmy. Soooooo . . .

This one and the “don’t y’all hate The Jews” get you a block.

For not even a full day-old account that’s special.

Yeah /s

Oh I’m not blaming them. I’m saying they deserved it.

This is the AP bullshit I keep talking about in those stories about how the whitehouse has drop-kicked them from the press pool. And I keep getting downvotes from well-meaning journalism students who think the AP is not as bad as the NY Post.

Jesus fucking christ.

If they were racist it would be one thing, but they generally aren’t, not are they significantly homophobic, they just want everyone to stfu and sit the fuck down.

HA. Okay, sure.

Never compare the Midwest and the south.

I’m gonna.

You say that like Brexit wasn’t the most successful political victory in the history of the world.

Midwest is ABSOLUTELY not about hate.

They just want to be left the fuck alone.

You mean they don’t want to deal with the social issues the costal cities have dealt with.

I mean, presumes facts not in evidence.

lol

WASHINGTON (AP) — For nearly 100 days, President Donald Trump has rattled Washington and been chastened by its institutions.

He’s startled world leaders with his unpredictability and tough talk, but won their praise for a surprise strike on Syria.

He’s endured the steady drip of investigations and a seemingly endless churn of public personnel drama.

“It’s a different kind of a presidency,” Trump said in an Oval Office interview with The Associated Press, an hourlong conversation as he approached Saturday’s key presidential benchmark.

I’ve said it before and some of you really don’t want to hear this, but AP has soft-pedaled trump since day 1 and now they’re reaping their reward. Perhaps they should have told the truth instead of choosing the barest descriptors to indicate he’s a demented rapist fraud committing treason.

They’ve never said “lies”. They’ve never made the obvious case that he’s not competent. They’ve done everything every other corporate news sewer has done, which is to state the basics in as non-threatening a way as possible and hope the intellgentsia glean their implications. Which helps no one but themselves.

Journalism - such as the AP represents - has failed catastrophically. No one is happy about that. But the AP can only blame themselves. In a reasonable world, they would take this as the challenge it is and start busting trump’s chops every day all day - BUT THEY WON’T. They’ll lie down and wait the years it takes to pass, continuing to poop out stenography for the administration until hopefully someone else gains power and lets them back in to the food bowl.

Fuck the AP. And I say that knowing full well they’re one of the better corporate news sewers. That’s how far down we are. They refuse to help, they refuse to fulfill the basic journalistic brief of speaking truth to power and they do so because they’re run by republiQans who want trump to be their fascist king. I hope they fold as an organization after briefly attempting porn as a last ditch attempt to stay solvent.

Very often in a civilized society, enforcement isn’t necessary.

So. Yeah.

I dunno. Bernie’s kinda badass. And AOC rules.

Okay, but there’s no intellectual debate in those instances. The king said attack (or the equivalent thereof) and the soldiers did their jobs.

In Brooks’ case he willingly ignored all the evidence of his eyes and ears, and the pleas of whoever he was undermining to support war criminals, racists, and bigots. For decades. And now, the final glorious result of all his work turns out to not be to his liking? Great. Here’s a shovel, David. You suck. Now get to digging. And no, we’re not renewing your column next year.

Yeah and good for him, but he’s not getting a cookie. So he can get in the back with the rest of us and chant or whatever his thing is, but you know as soon as he gets his wish to get rid of trump he’ll be right back to propping up the next trump for the same morally bereft intellectually dishonest reasons.

Again that’s just a weird focus since the ‘hurt people’ thing applies to your other examples, but - fair enough. It’s not a contest.

Given that the midwest, southwest and mid-atlantic also voted majority trump that seems like an odd focus, but okay.

So we’ve consolidated China-russia. Noice.

5D chess, demented rapist.

And yet doctors saw the tar in the lungs and knew immediately.

Rubio is a horrible sack of shit. What an unctuous turd.
