Why oh why cant *one* reporter turn this all back on her with a question like:

Can you explain why it would be appropriate (or not) for reporters to address the President (or you) as "piggy"? You yourself are currently referred to online as "the Mouth of Moron." Should there be more "frankness"?

Trump/MAGA *still* cling to the 2020 Election being "rigged." That was their reason for vandalizing the Capitol & justification for their Fake Electors Plot, "stealing the stolen election back". This fantasy & illegality is *still* part of the DNA of MAGA.

But, sure, grill those Democrats!

Are you sure I can't interest you in Appendage Awake!™ ?
It works on both arms -and- legs!

"Pa-thet-ic."

The Eyeroll Heard 'Round The World.

Once again, hand-wringing Democrats devouring their own.

What's MUCH more difficult to justify is any nominee going on Fox, a manifestly partisan, fawning organ of propaganda for GQP/MAGA/neo-fascism.

Somehow, Fox has obtained, and continues to maintain, legitimacy as a "mainstream" news source.

Leon paid a quarter of a billion without looking at the manifest of what his money was corruptly purchasing? How did he not secure his must-have earmarks BEFORE he paid Trump the bribe?

Never give the quid before you get the quo! That's Criminality 101!

I think we're past "what in the actual fuck?"
I think we're at: "what in the actual fucking fuck?"

Paul, Weiss, Rifkind (and Columbia) will go down in the history books as the first institutions to normalize caving to the authoritarian/oligarchy. Rather than endure the consequences of doing whats right (fighting the lawless president in court), they took the easy, profitable, amoral route.

We've never had such a dishonorable President. Its never been this bad. Not A. Jackson, Not A. Johnson. The Founders could not conceive of this.

Most recently, Columbia U and Paul,Weiss,Rifkind lawfirm have been coopted. Magaism is corrupting everything its touching. Pure Führerprinzip.

Its "Full Self-Driving (Supervised)" feature ["Not Full Self Driving: requires active driver supervision, including eyes on the road and hands on the wheel at all times. The driver is always responsible for safe operation and must be prepared to take immediate control"] alone is a stone-cold killer.

Corporations, People.

At least Sean Spicer and Sarah Huckabee-Sanders KNEW they were lying when they were lying. (Spicer did it shamefully, Huckabee shamelessly.) This person doesn't know she's a lying mouthpiece. It must be so frustrating for her: "Why does the Press constantly dispute all my [false] statements?!"

This is what happens when your gym teacher is given power.

Well, since he's talking about the election, ask him:
WHO WON THE 2020 ELECTION?

If he's going to dodge any questions, he's going to dodge this sacred tenet of MAGA catechism. It's a waste of time, but good to get him on the record. (He did want to talk elections.)

Only in a Trump Administration would a question like this be perceived by the nominee as a "gotcha" question. He's scared to answer yes/no whether he'd commit a Kent State!

Reminiscent of then-DOJ lawyer John "Torture Memo" Yoo refusing to answer whether burying a POW alive would constitute torture

Later: "It's just a joke! Can't you people take a joke?!"
Fascism 101: it's all hypothetical until it's not.

So demented, so mindless.

Its not that NYT is "For Trump". Its that they're terrified of being labeled "Always Against Trump" (which, on Earth-1, is the only rational viewpoint). Nevertheless, once they are Always Against Trump, they fall into a different category of publication. The same conundrum 1930s German papers faced

Michael, the article currently on NYT does not have "Beleaguered" in the headline. But they had to throw *some* negative spin... So now, it reads: "Biden Chips Away at Student Loan Debt, Bit by Bit, Amid High Expectations".

The NYT cannot help themselves.
