I said out loud "Fuck You Kelly" at NBC 'news' the other night when Kelly O'Donnell briefly mentioned the omission at the end of her piece, as if it was a significant departure, and then smiled.
Yeah, what the hell is up with NBC these days? I can't even look at their headlines anymore—they've joined the RePLaCe oLd JoE! choir with nastiness I'd only previously seen at right wing sites and, later, CNN.
I only watch NBC when it's a familial obligation - watching NBC (sometimes ABC) is a ritual for my mom. I've always thought their coverage was biased and went whichever way the wind was blowing.
I just read it on their app and, for the longest time, they seemed to be very anti-trump. Now, however, not a word about trump but it's all hand-wringing and pearl-clutching about Old Handsome Joe. I just swipe through all of it now.
My main source is the Guardian and their coverage of this has been really biased since the debate. Seems like these media outlets all copy each other - as Evan noted last night, it looks like the NYT is driving it and has a personal grudge against OHJB.
"One of these positions, which the Washington Post and other outlets credulously reported as though it were an actual change in position and not an obvious ploy,..."
It fries my ass that they think we're just flat stupid.
Yeah no shit they would. And they’d be cavalier about it. Seriously though, where does a White Supremacist send a Black person back to? They’re too stupid to actually know that Africa is a continent and not a country, so what country do the propose to send them back to especially given that even Black peoples are unclear of their genealogy? I bet if you asked they’d look like dogs trying to figure out what that high sound was.
Wouldn't be really nice if the people who claim to have poll results published their data and methods for peer review like is done in any field where you want someone to believe you.
Makes the Senate vote more likely for us...people like having the Congress as a check on the Presidency...or that used to be. Now with The Immunity Case that's no longer true, though...
Dinnae the GOP remember how much easier all their lives were without a "platform"? Are they not committed to the absence of commitment? Don't they want the flexibility to say anything and everything, forever, with never a concern for coherence or contradiction? What is Clarity other than Opacity under a different name?
Even if they WERE right about not going for a national abortion ban, everything else is piled on straight-up fascism. We know there'll be concentration camps that will become extermination camps. There isn't physically ability to move undocumented migrants (the only ones rounded up will be Hispanic (inclusive of Caribbean) or African, bet on it).
Remember, we have to defeat Republicans up and down the ballot! Give them no quarter!
I'm saying that even if they were right that they weren't doing a national ban, they still have everything horrible there. Sorry for the confusion, I dropped a lot of context.
Trump is a useful idiot. He doesn't care what is in the party platform as long as he gets to play golf and solicit a commission for every transaction with other countries. If he wins, the oligarchs funding the federalist society and heritage foundation win.

"build an “Iron Dome”, referring to Israel’s anti-missile defense system."
.....what?
Are we Canada and Mexico launching missiles at the US that means we need a system like that?
I'm guessing this is part security theater (not actually protecting anything but it LOOKS like it is) and a very large part a gift to defense contractors to get lucrative contracts to build the useless thing. It wouldn't even need to work so they can cut corners like MFs.
"We are wasting our emissions and will save them in the Iron Dome that will make things darker and thereby more cooler so no warming problem solved but wait until the geese leave..."
63,459,781 legal abortions in the USA since 1973 Some very conservative extrapolation and you see that had they not happened the US population would today stand at slightly over 450 million. We're having financial strain with 334 million
I saw a documentary a few days ago that said Hitler generously declined to take his salary as president. (While he became very rich because everybody decided it might be a good idea to have a copy of "Mein Kampf" around the house; also, all newlyweds were given a free copy, at government expense).
"It doesn’t matter what the hell the damn platform says."
It's just an expanded version of the platform of 2020: "Whatever Trump wants."
i don't know if gage skidmore is a good person or not, but i have chuckle whenever i see that name - sorry gage

Ta, Robyn. Biden and Harris deserve another term. Trump deserves prison. I know he'll never end up there, but he is a traitor and Putin's puto.
Putin's catamite.

Well......about 35% of the populace is.......though I doubt SERIOUSLY they they read the WaPo.....
I doubt they they read words
They couldn't reed a clarinet.
True.......every time I want to converse with one of these mouth breathers, I have to remind myself that I'm not fluent in cement......
The guy running it now is a Murdoch plant.
They always think that. About all of us.
Even when THEY are Piers Morgan. Or Boris Johnson.
I will wish no man’s death…
Oh… wait.
“deporting so-called “pro-Hamas radicals”.
Yeah to where? Are they gonna start sending US Citizens to Gaza?
"Are they gonna start sending US Citizens to Gaza?"
Republicans would try that with Black and brown citizens in a HOT MINUTE if they thought White Democrats wouldn't put up too much of a fight.
DO NOT be fooled.
Yeah no shit they would. And they’d be cavalier about it. Seriously though, where does a White Supremacist send a Black person back to? They’re too stupid to actually know that Africa is a continent and not a country, so what country do the propose to send them back to especially given that even Black peoples are unclear of their genealogy? I bet if you asked they’d look like dogs trying to figure out what that high sound was.
My thought exactly. It assumes all the "radicals" are non citizens. Nice dog whistle.
Or does it?
Boy, wouldn’t it really nice if Biden wasn’t appearing to be losing Wisconsin in the same poll that Tammy Baldwin is crushing it.
We all want trump to lose. We shouldn’t blindly walk off a cliff. Kamala can do it
Wouldn't be really nice if the people who claim to have poll results published their data and methods for peer review like is done in any field where you want someone to believe you.
You're still here? Somebody likes your comment?
That’s why I’m trying to be super positive about our polls being so good in, gulp, Wisconsin
I don;t believe we'll end up there...months to go.
I hope not. But he keeps going down in polls that seem right for the democratic senate candidate
Makes the Senate vote more likely for us...people like having the Congress as a check on the Presidency...or that used to be. Now with The Immunity Case that's no longer true, though...
Yeah, depressing as shit
So let's stay positive and work our butts off GOTV!

"Even if they WERE right about abortion"
Ehhh...?
I think that Seth is referring to them somehow giving up on abortion and letting it be legalized.
I'm saying that even if they were right that they weren't doing a national ban, they still have everything horrible there. Sorry for the confusion, I dropped a lot of context.
No problem..I'm an asshole sometimes....

Every physical exam has proven it: Like pulling out a breeched calf, Trump has plenty of room for an arm or two up in there.
Useful Idjits Libelz...
When I read that shit, the first and only reaction I had was the weird Al gif: Well, that seems a little bit crazy.
VOTE VOTE VOTE against these assholes. All of them at every level.

"Pentagon's big budget F-35 fighter 'can't turn, can't climb, can't run'"
-- https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSL2N0PQ1I9/
Probably just throwing it in there as a buzz word. What it actually means is beside the point.
I'd be inclined to agree, but then again, we thought the same thing about "Space Force".
"We are wasting our emissions and will save them in the Iron Dome that will make things darker and thereby more cooler so no warming problem solved but wait until the geese leave..."

And yet, and yet, here shuffles Donald.
shuffling you say? I say PARKINSON'S! It would be irresponsible not to speculate!
I saw a documentary a few days ago that said Hitler generously declined to take his salary as president. (While he became very rich because everybody decided it might be a good idea to have a copy of "Mein Kampf" around the house; also, all newlyweds were given a free copy, at government expense).
Hitler also had Parkinson's.
These parallels are adding up.
... Just sayin'.

Hey, you swabbo...GTFO and light the Smoking Lamp, ya' git...
I fear the MAGA have dragged us through the looking glass. We're now all standing on the other side of the mirror with no way back. HELP!
