When Is The Media Going to Do Their Job?

From Palmer Report:

Last night Donald Trump tried holding a town hall with his own supporters and an on-stage babysitter, but after just a few minutes he announced that he wouldn’t be taking any more questions, and instead insisted that he and the audience spend the rest of the event listening to music. For the next thirty minutes Trump stood there on stage, at times frozen, at times directing the music with his arms, before he was finally led away.

It was one of the most mentally incompetent things that has ever happened in the history of U.S. presidential elections. And it’s not as if it’s something new. Trump’s cognitive abilities have been on a downward slope for years, and it’s become particularly pronounced over the past few months. He doesn’t know who anyone is. He doesn’t usually know where he is, and when he does occasionally remember, he lashes out at whatever city he’s in. He talks mostly about sharks and batteries and cannibals. And now he’s just standing there for half an hour in the middle of what supposed to have been a town hall.

If the major political media outlets aren’t willing to cover Donald Trump’s obvious senility and worsening dementia symptoms after this, then these media outlets might as well just shut down and give the money back to the shareholders. You can’t ignore something like this. Not when it’s this severe. And not when it’s this important. This isn’t some aging rock star trying to hide dementia, where the worst thing that could happen is a bad concert. This is a major party nominee for President of the United States, and a recently convicted felon at that, who’s within four points of winning. We’re talking about nuclear launch codes here, in the hands of a dementia patient who just spent nearly an entire “town hall” standing there pretending to direct music while a confused crowd looked on.

I’m not saying any of this to try to scare any of you who are reading this. You know the stakes. I’m saying all of this in the hope of shaming the mainstream political media into finally doing their jobs. Donald Trump is so glaringly deep into dementia, the media is not going to look biased by admitting it. If anything the media looks biased for trying to downplay what everyone can see is happening.

I’ve been saying all year that Trump’s worsening dementia would end up being the story of the 2024 election, and now we’re seeing that come home to roost. Kamala Harris and her campaign are now making Trump’s medical competence, and his refusal to release his medical records, a central issue down the stretch. And there are no doubt persuadable voters who are seeing clips of a senile Trump and deciding to vote for Kamala Harris for reasons of safety. But when is the media going to do its part?

Dust

The house we live in was built in 1948. It still has the original drafty, single-pane steel casement windows that it came with.

While I’m not as assiduous a housekeeper as I was in my youth, I still do make an attempt to keep things clean and tidy. But in this house it’s a never-ending battle against dust. It seems like I wipe everything down, and two days later everything is covered again. So I get disheartened at this and two days often turns into two weeks. I used to visit my Dad and was aghast at layers of dust covering everything in his house. “I just don’t have the energy any more. I start cleaning and give up halfway through.” I couldn’t understand it then, but now being close to the age he was when he told me that, it’s becoming abundantly clear.

And yes, we’ve discussed hiring someone to come in and clean…

My office is an especially bad dust magnet, although the living room—where the majority of our tchotchkes reside—is a close second.  One of my office doors leads directly into the laundry room and that in turns opens directly to the back yard. Our back yard is basically bare dirt most of the year with a small patch of grass that has somehow managed to survive under the shade of the single elm tree that sits just off the patio.

If the yard alone weren’t enough to send clouds wafting in through our even-when-closed drafty windows, when Raffi gets the zoomies, his favorite activity outside is to tear around in all that dirt doing doggy donuts.

Since we moved back in here I’ve been threatening to hit a home improvement store and buy a few dozen rolls of stick-on foam weatherstrip and line the inside edge of every window in the house…but I still haven’t gotten around to it. After going through the place yesterday and wiping everything down yet again, I really need rethink the urgency and get to the task sooner rather than later because spending the better part of a single day dusting is not my idea of a good time. BUT… if I don’t get around to it before the end of January, it will be one of my immediate post-retirement projects.

Donald Trump Was The Greatest American President Russia Ever Had

FACT: Donald Trump was the greatest American president Russia ever had.

All those phone calls to Putin both during and after he was president, prove he is so enamored of this evil man, that he really has been a willing “useful idiot.”

What’s scary is that Trump wants to be the American Putin, and so many of my fellow citizens are so ignorant (or enamored of authoritarians) themselves that they are willing to give their vote to someone who will take away the very liberty they claim to prize so much.

And once our freedom is gone, once our votes don’t count, it could take decades to reverse the damage.

VOTE BLUE LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT. BECAUSE IT DOES.

Corporate Media Downplays Fascist Corruption

Remember when the media called for Biden to step down? The media has two standards and both act as buffers for white supremacy.

One standard protects all who embolden white supremacy [Right, MAGA, Trump]

The other standard serves to attack all who confront white supremacy [Left, Dems, Biden]

Just Shut The Fuck Up, Donald!

Ummm…

Obama Brutally Roasts Trump In Rally Speech Like Never Before (& We Bet Donald Isn’t Laughing)

Barack Obama smiling at podium

As the 2024 presidential race inches closer to the finish line, former President Barack Obama isn’t staying quiet on his feelings about former President Donald Trump, who’s hoping for another chance in the White House. Obama has shared a shady take on Trump’s reputation before, and at a rally for Vice President Kamala Harris in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on October 10, Obama really tore into Harris’ competitor. In a clip from the speech that he shared on X, formerly known as Twitter, Obama expressed disbelief that some voters think Trump will make positive changes for the people.

“Because there is absolutely no evidence that this man thinks about anybody but himself!” Obama added. Obama then painted an unflattering but seemingly accurate portrayal of the businessman-turned-politician, remarking on things like Trump’s social media meltdowns and rambling, nonsensical speeches. “Constant attempts to sell you stuff,” Obama added. “Who does that? Selling you gold sneakers and $100,000 watch and most recently, a Trump Bible. … Got his name right there, next to Matthew and Luke.”

Obama even said Trump’s “Saturday Night Live” appearances, which could probably be added to the most awkward moments from NBC’s late-night variety show, were overkill. “It’s crazy,” Obama continued. “And the reason he does it is because all he cares about is his ego and his money and his status. He’s not thinking about you.”

Obama lambasted Trump’s lies

Barack Obama speaking & Donald Trump staring

Barack Obama also roasted Donald Trump for something he said during his presidential debate with Kamala Harris. It was evident that Trump’s confidence crumbled after his debate with Biden in June 2024— while asked about a plan for healthcare at his debate with Harris, Trump snapped, “I have concepts of a plan, I’m not president right now” (via YouTube). Obama had a field day with that quote in another snippet from his rally speech posted on his X page. After laughing about Trump’s “concepts” on what he’d replace the Affordable Care Act with, Obama posed the hypothetical of how saying you had a “concept of a plan” would never work if you were asked to complete an assignment for work or do household chores. “How’s that going to go over?” Obama quipped with a chuckle. “If it wouldn’t work for you, why in the heck should it work for the president of the United States?”

Obama also called out Trump for his many mistruths. One fan on X shared a clip where Obama criticized Trump for blatantly lying about Hurricane Helene relief. “You’re gonna have leaders who try to help and then there … ” Obama paused, before adding, “You have a guy who will just lie about it to score political points and this has consequences.” Obama got heated while he spoke, raising his voice at points and questioning why deception by politicians has become something people are fine with. The fan who shared the snippet captioned it, “Barack Obama just reminded everyone why is is [sic] considered the preeminent orator of our generation.”

Despite all that, the morning after Obama’s rally speech, Donald posted on Truth Social that he was certain Obama would vote for him. Keep dreaming, Donald.
