Both Sides, Lesson Two Million

I hate having to keep doing this, but not anywhere near as much as I hate having it happen.  In a perfect sample of the kind of press coverage we are going to be getting the next few months, this excerpt from CNN, courtesy of Crooks and Liars:
"So let me pose this question to you, and that's the dissatisfaction many Americans have, with both candidates, when it comes to the level of hatred and rhetoric and prejudice that we're seeing in the United States. The Quinnipiac poll came out, shows 61 percent of the electorate right now, feels, that this election as a whole, on both sides, has increased the hate and prejudice in this country.'"

Both sides.  Both sides!!!  this election as a whole, on both sides, has increased the hate and prejudice in this country.  They're both doing it.

Helpfully illustrated with the following graphic:
67% Trump, 16% Hillary.  That's how "both sides" increase hate and prejudice.  And that's not even considering that more than 16% of Republicans believe that Obama is the Antichrist, and they should be disqualified from voting based on being certifiably insane.

Well, there it is, the only way that the Republican party will not be crushed out of existence, as they so richly deserve, this election season.  As I have said so many times, the Democrats could beat the Republicans without even trying; what they cannot destroy is the Republicans and the mainstream press working together to wreck our country.

It's Okay, Never Mind

The woman in this picture, equipped with the weapons and ammunition shown, was found outside a National guard base. She is apparently a big Glenn Beck fan, and believed that the base was a FEMA concentration camp. Think she's the only one out there? You just know this sort of thing is not going to end well.

If a Tree Falls In the Woods

 And nobody hears it, is it really running for President at all? First of all, a note about my absence lately:  My wife got me to sign up for an account at Threads, which is sort of like X without the assholes.  I've spent a little time establishing myself there, and I have to say, I do like the relatively immediate exchange of views, but I don't mean to give up my blog- there are still so many things that can't be dealt with in a couple hundred words, so, perhaps to your dismay, I am back. So, what motivated the above question is the fact that the Sunday New York Times today had seven articles about Trump, and absolutely zero about Kamala Harris.   The Republicans have a problem with Harris, in that virtually everyone who sees her likes her and immediately understands how qualified she is to be President.  They have tried mightily the last month to find some way to smear her, but have been spectacularly unsuccessful- the tactics of character assassination ...

Wingnuts Slightly Annoyed about that $83 Million

Image
How can you look like a decrepit old geezer and an out of control two year old at the same time? I thought it might be nice to look in on wingnut world to see how they are taking yesterday's $83 million dollar Trump legal loss.  You kind of know that they will decide it shouldn't affect their opinion of him in any way, but it might be helpful to see just how the Republican party has trained them to reject any fact they don't like.  Not that surprisingly, a lot of the usual wingnut suspects didn't touch this loss at all, preferring to just ignore anything that interferes with their hateful daydreams, but here are a few excerpts from an article at Gateway Pundit, along with a sample of the hundreds of comments it received.  Enjoy.  Or not. "Trump attorney Alina Habba WENT OFF after the crooked New York City court slapped President Trump with an $83 million judgment for speaking out against the disgusting lies of a crazed woman who said he lured her into a Bergdorf Go...
