So why is a billionaire constantly begging for money like a destitute person?

There's a movement to cancel subscriptions to MSM rags until after November 5th. Join it!

There’s a saying that I like to use for people like Trump.

Trump is proof that you can have lots of money and still be completely worthless.

Amelia Bedelia was practicing malicious compliance, like the labor heroine she was

The latest one I read is Glenn Kessler saying that Bill Clinton's remarks about how many jobs have been created under Democratic presidents and how many under Republican ones (50.1 million versus 1.5 million) is technically true (because it absolutely is) it's still a lie because things happened during the Republican administrations that caused the low numbers.

Meanwhile Trump has declared that every job created during Biden's administration has gone to an illegal alien, and Democrats routinely support 'post-birth abortions'. and nary a peep from Kessler.

My gob, it is smacked.

Always loved Amelia Bedelia and any kind of punning. What a perfect comparison to the deviousness of MSM. Amelia was an innocent. These So called reporters and fact checkers are purposely part of the evil stupidity. So, I've been screaming into the void, and my family's ears for 6 or 7 or 8 years about the MSM deviousness with their both-siderism and normalizing outrageously vile comments, or ignoring facts. That " fact checking" noted here by SER, has been recognized as utter B.S. and written up and derided by many in the past two days. But now...how can we correct this?? It has all gone too far.

Oh, I loved the Amelia Bedelia books as a child. Amelia was forgiven for her literalness because she had redeeming qualities (like being an excellent cook). And by the end of the book, people learned how to communicate with her. “Undust the furniture,” etc. These shills know exactly what they’re doing. My only question is if they’re carrying out the marching orders of their billionaire owners, or if they’ve decided they’re totally cool being relegated to Enemies of the State again if it will drive views.

Makes sense.

I love how they refuse to fact check Trump but they’ll fact check Dems when they quote Trump.

“It has to be some form of punishment for the woman. Yeah, there has to be some form.”

"— Trump, quoted in a DNC video

"The juxtaposition might leave the impression that Trump still believes this. But he walked back the statement the same day he made it in a town hall."

That's not a fact check.

That's taking right-wing spin and framing it as the absolute truth. Just because he tried to walk it back after realizing he fucked up doesn't change the FACT that he said it.

A literal video of the words coming out of Trump's mouth is misleading, because, you see, it makes Trump look bad and we can't have that.

Heads I win, tails you lose.

Also, pretty much everything he has ever said has a video somewhere of him saying exactly the opposite. He says whatever he thinks will benefit him the most at the time. His only actual conviction (apart from legal ones) is “me first, me last, me only”.

Exactly. I don’t think these outlets add similar asterisks to HRC’s “deplorables” comment

All these nitpickers seem to ascribe to the Bard's maxim "there is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so."

I remember that Twilight Zone episode well. First time I saw Ellie Mae Clampett in a dramatic turn.
