Who was that who asked the last question? You know, the guy who is only ever saved the title of biggest asshole in the room by the presence of Peter Doocy.

Interesting that the swap happened after Trump was trying to use the captives in the campaign. Seems like a message from Putin that the useful part of Trump's idiocy is diminished.

Watching the press corps folks interrogate NSA spokesperson John Kirby is quite interesting. Their critiques of the prisoner exchange process illustrates their deep understanding of how such things are arranged. Is there any area or subject that they are not experts?

WTF? Isn’t he throwing the rotting heart and rancid soul of the GOP under the bus?

First of all, right wing Christianity always takes the side of the oppressors.

Secondly, the Golden rule is ALWAYS take the side of the victim. It’s why there are called victims. They didn’t do anything wrong.

I always thought Christianity supported the downtrodden.

Expand full comment

It does, but the RW version does NOT. Honestly, they aren't remotely Christlike, but still call themselves "Christian," and the media plays right along with them.

Expand full comment

The downtrodden are those who might have people tut-tut at them for using a racial, ethnic or sexist slur.

Expand full comment

1. Yes, if you've read anything about this Christ character, that is the case.

2. Have you seen American Christians? They absolutely do not take the side of the victim.

Expand full comment

Hey, not all American Christians! Don't you mean American RW Christians, aka evangelicals?

After seeing actual journalism with the proven rapist, fraud and convicted felon Trump yesterday, do you think there is any chance that a reporter will hold him accountable for not getting his great friend Vlad to release any prisoners while Trump was is supplicant? Similarly, hold him to account for blaming Our Joe for ending the Afghanistan war under the terms of Trump's surrender when Trump couldn't get it done himself? Or how the United States is more powerful and the world is better with the United States leading and not just threatening to bomb Mexico and toadling up to dictators because Trump things they are the cool kids?

Just wondering.

But congrats to Joe Biden again proven what a strong president can do for freedom and democracy, if that is what they care about.

I don't know. It seems like every time a journalist deigns to do actual journalism, push back, stand firm, they get tons of press and everyone is wowed. Then ... nothing. No one else follows suit.

So, if Donny if Donny is losing even according to Rasmussen, how dumpster fire are the internals?

But according to WaPo, DonOld is still ahead in most of the swing states! It should be noted, however, that they are using older polls, and the commenters are calling them out for being misleading.
