Edit: Just to clarify, my stance here is not “ignore everything Trump.” He has done and will do quite a lot of things that warrant attention and concern. He’s also a serial liar and world class bullshitter. A human testament to the phrase, “actions speak louder than words.” Donald Trump’s political success has always hinged on the fact that people are quick to forget that. He’s already working overtime to distract from the fact that the majority of his campaign promises were just lies and the sooner he can make the people who voted for him forget all the pie in the sky shit they were promised, the better.
Too late for that. Now its more about keeping track of madman with weapon. Not that i want to read anything involving the piss hitler though, it would be much better if there just was nothing pay attention to.
The guy is never going to run out of dead cats to grab headlines and avert attention from more important things.
Nah, I want him crazier and crazier. I want him to figure out how to act so batshit crazy that his own base keeps having to question themselves.
I don’t think it’ll happen, but I’ll LOVE asking them to explain it away.
His base has long proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that they are immune to reflection, introspection, common decency and feelings of shame.
“subtle” way of supporting him while playing dumb
Like moths to an orange flame
Exactly. I heard more about Trump with Biden in office than I did when he was president before.
what are you talking about, hysterical attention grabbers are their meal ticket.
so…just to point out
you want a billionaire owned multimedia ad revenue agency (aka the “news”) to stop hyping the billionaire backed chaos cheeze monkey and the stupid shit it says?
every time he realizes he exists is a moment that spits in the face of evolutionary theory.
every breath he takes is a testament to the folly of man.
the sheer hubris of man quakes at the mention of the man.
he moves trillions of dollars into the pockets of his billionaire lords. they will never stop as long as you exist.

This is exactly why instead of expecting the media to evolve or adapt I encourage people to walk away from corporate news.
I’m not a zealot, so follow it if you like, just know that it has its own goals and one of them is to hook you on its crappy product and convince you that it is the sole arbiter of truth…when it’s really stuffing its billionaire-sponsored narratives down your throat.
The reality is that if the news were in any way objective and about “the truth”, it would steadily maintain reality-based positions over time, but it doesn’t. It adapts based upon what its billionaire owners want and based upon the whims of the electorate – all the while pretending that it does nothing to influence the whims of the electorate when it very clearly does.
The greatest conman the world has ever seen.
Isn’t that exactly what you’re doing right now? The lack of self awareness is astounding.
The orange guy is the Kool-Aid Man of Overton’s windows.
Don’t feed the trolls.
- Internet rule #1 since 1983.
They’ve been doing that non-stop for the past decade and made millions over millions from that
Do you really believe they’d stop today?
All media/journalism is struggling to make ends meet and no one in (real) media wants Trump to be in power. This cynical theory of the media is fucking stupid.
Oh yeah, they are indeed struggling to make ends meet which is exactly why they’re doing this because THIS is what makes them money. Outrage sells so if they have to sell trump, they sell trump.
Is it cynical? I’m sure it is, it’s also what it is
the media is owned by the elites. the journalists are not, but you’ll never work in journalism again if you push against the ones that hold the leash.
What’s even more stupid is that we’ve already done this. We’ve already lived this stupid-ass reality, and the media made public apologies at the end, only to turn around and do the exact same thing again. I’ll say one thing for trump, he’s right that the media is a circus, and not something to blindly trust. That’s probably the one and only time you’ll hear me say trump was right about anything.
That was the path before the election. A lot of clickbait headlines linking to his platform that exposed his “alternate facts basis” for evil. Now the attitude won’t make him go away anymore.
The thing is though his name in the spin machine is what he wants. There is an entire industry making money off that news. Its a post truth world my guy
Yeah, ignore the president of USA. Great strategy
Did you even read the post?
