The election is in three weeks, and Pennsylvania is a must-win state for both Trump and Kamala Harris, but during a rally last night in Montgomery County, northwest of Philadelphia, Trump got bored with the event, billed as a “town hall,” and just played music for almost 40 minutes, scowling, smirking, and swaying onstage. Trump is no stranger to surreal moments, yet this was one of the oddest of his political career.
This kind of behavior would have resulted in discussion of dementia and Alzheimers if it was a Democrat.
Clooney put a hit out on Biden for much less.
But the point is to report on this in the hopes that the American people will pay attention. I can only speculate why you want to keep a lid on it…
Pay attention to what?? The stuff we’ve all lived through for the last five years??
This report is bullshit. It’s an illustration of the demise of the media and real journalism. It’s misinformation to solidify a narrative.
I know. Most people don’t care about policy - most notability DT. I understand that clicks aren’t gained through real journalism. This is exactly how we ended up with this dickhole to begin with. Every media outlet flooded their blocks with every minute story they could drum up about Trump. This left little time to cover any other alternative candidate. Everyone is obsessed with loving or hating this guy. WTF are we doing? No one is changing their mind about him at this point. How, I don’t know. How the fuck any living human could possibly consider this shitstain for anything more than a janitor is beyond me.
The point is that these stories are misleading. It doesn’t matter what you think about the person or the outlet doing the reporting. We should be more critical of the truth and the mistruths we’re being fed. Had anyone successfully made this argument in 2015, perhaps we wouldn’t be having this conversation.
We ended up with this monster because news outlets were actively protecting him because he was good for ratings.
The sanewashing is finally coming to an end and people who don’t follow politics will hear about this.
But that is apparently bad in your eyes. Well, we can probably guess who’s eyes but…
As for nobody changing their minds? Multiple republicans openly support Kamala. The fucking KKK put in for… jill Stein. Minds are changing. So stop actively fighting against sanity.
Ugh worst Batman
Val tho… beautiful.
Clooney was an excellent Bruce though.
But yeah. Kilmer and Conroy are the only actors who have managed to do justice to both. Greenwood and Oswald have given amazing performances but really can only do one half.
I’m such a slut for Batman Forever… cheesy fun amazing movie where my beautiful Val and Jim KILLED IT
also my brain randomly just thinks “BLAAAST HIIIM” and “WHYYY WON’T YOU DIIIIIIE?!”
Forever retroactively got shit on because of And Robin and later the Nolan movies. I think it was very flawed but it was a perfect movie for the TAS era in terms of tone.
That said, what makes me laugh the most are the people who pretend the friggin Burton Batmans are deeply dark and serious. They were camp as all hell and fun for it.
I think we’re at a boy who cries wolf point. News pieces like this are almost a daily occurrence. Those who don’t care won’t simply because it happens again. If anything it will further galvanize their resistance.
There’s a sense that these things must be reported and recorded for reasons of history, but for whatever effect one would like to happen as a result it is probably useless.
They are a daily occurrence because there is finally corporate pushback against the sanewashing that has occurred for years.
But hey. Nobody should talk about how mentally unstable a candidate is, right? I really hope you are getting paid for this.
I’ve been hearing it for over 8 years now, to varrying degrees of intensity across the media spectrum. I’d assume anyone else paying even the least amount of attention has, too.
Yet here we are at a 48% split with 3 weeks to go.
So yeah, keep reporting. Maybe that fraction of a percent will make the difference; it’s close enough that it could! But don’t hold your breath, and don’t keep beating on the same horse as if doing so will make a difference.
You should be ashamed of yourself
Brilliant being combative with strangers in the same echo chamber as you. Glad we spent this time together.
