Shermann's JournalFXN is in full Hunter mode
Fox has like a dozen stories on Hunter Biden on their main page right now. Stahl pressed Trump on this same issue and he crumbled. So it's not a tenable position.
Does fake news get any faker than this? They aren't even making an attempt to be a balanced news source right now.
I have to say this surprises me a little. They have some decent news programs and solid polls and have to be weighing their options in a post-Trump world. And shredding what's left of their credibility in the next week doesn't seem compatible with that if you ask me.
Trump hasn't shown any interest in doing the work as President
...according to Obama.
I think this is accurate.
It must be nice to have a job where you can skip doing the work and merely assert that you're doing a great job. Where do you find a job like that? You have to have a boss who has absolutely no idea what doing your job really entails. Or, they have no idea how to gauge your job performance objectively. Or, they are taking something like a kickback and are willing to throw the company under the bus for it.
The Republicans failed to pivot in the shit
Steve Bannon, a disgraced architect of modern Conservatism, is alleged to have said in 2008 that "The Democrats don’t matter. The real opposition is the media. And the way to deal with them is to flood the zone with shit." This sludgy water-muddying tactic has been employed by Trump since the first day of his administration, with tens of thousands of "Pinocchio's" being scored by the fact-checkers. If a lie is making the news, wash it away with two more.
This strategy is questionable at any time, however sticking with it during a national emergency borders on criminally negligent behavior. Those who prefer to watch the blacklisted mainstream media instead of the President's whitelisted news sources still have a right to complete and accurate information regarding the pandemic.
Instead of pivoting in the shit, Trump is hurling even more handfuls by teaming up with the shit-flinging chimpanzee Dr. Atlas.
Republican contradictions
These are some of my personal favorites. What are yours?
- Windmills: Trump has stated regarding his wall that "... it’s a medieval solution, a wall. It’s true, because it worked then, and it works even better now.” Windmills were a medieval solution as well, and even go back earlier than that. And yes they work even better now. So why are windmills bad?
- John McCain: John McCain was a "disloyal" person. Self-explanatory.
- The Founding Fathers: Republicans believe that no politician should be trusted, even Republican politicians. However, they treat the writings of the Founding Fathers like they are infallible gospel. Their views override the views of modern day politicians who have more up-to-date information, period. Since the Founding Fathers were politicians themselves, how can this be?
- Conservative Fact-Checkers: Republicans claim that the conservative news media hasn't produced a plausible fact-checker website because their politicians don't need to be fact-checked. But if no "approved" fact-checker exists, what is this assertion based on?
Savatage - When the Crowds Are Gone
I dedicate this one to single-term president Donald J. Trump and his supporters.
How many Trump voters does it take to change a light bulb?
Three. One to say the light bulb went out during Obama's term, one to say there's a blackout due to unreliable windmill farms, and one to say there's no problem and they can see just fine.
President Trump tackled the virus head-on!
I just heard that in one of his commercials.
I guess it's sort of true now, isn't it?
Although it might be more accurate to say he GOT tackled...and managed to get back on his feet.
Trump sticks with his core beliefs
I will say this for Trump, he's pretty consistent with his messaging and doesn't flip-flop much.
But to what end?
- Trump believes the pandemic in the US was imported from China, even after we've learned that it probably came here from Europe. In addition, he's fixated on the talking point of the "China Virus" which is a distraction no longer relevant to the pandemic response.
- Trump is stuck on the narrative that masks aren't very effective. This idea was shared briefly by Fauci until the significance of asymptomatic spread was understood. The scientists quickly moved to different positions as new evidence emerged. Instead of moving with them, Trump employs outdated thinking and even chastises Fauci for the pivot.
- While showing some potential early on, hydroxychloroquine was quickly ruled out by the medical community as a viable treatment. Trump rejected that science and then even took the drug himself. As science moves forward in real time, the President is falling farther and farther behind.
So the next time Trump dings Biden on flip-flopping, he should counterpunch.
Trump's "sarcastic" comments about injecting bleach
If this comes up again, this is what Biden or Harris' response SHOULD be:
"Mr. President, I listened to your supposedly sarcastic comments about injecting bleach during the coronavirus task force meeting. I have to say that as a stand-up comedian, your routine SUCKS. I think you should quit trying to be the Comedian in Chief and give the role of leader of the nation's coronavirus response the gravity it deserves. Do the damn job!"
The silver lining of the Barrett nomination
So evil Amy Coney Barrett has been clearly revealed as a Dark Lord of the Sith. Her unveiling was accompanied by an ominous spread of disease. That leads us to the Rule of Two:
https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Rule_of_Two
Long story short: if Darth Barrett is here to stay (which appears to be the case), then either Darth Trump or Count Pence must go. I believe the fear of collusion and mutiny would explain Trump's haste to get back into the fold. Trump may have even unlocked the secrets of immortality in the process by harnessing the full power of the dark side.
I believe Count Pence is the odd man out? Difficult to see. Always in motion is the future.
