I watched the entire commencement speech of Donald Trump at West Point. It was made up of two parts. the teleprompter and the ad lib.
On the teleprompter, I could hear the voice of Steve Miller mouthing the fascist and regressive lines. That was bad enough, but the ad lib part proved to anyone really listening that Trump is insane.
At the commencement of our future military leaders, Trump was incoherent. He talked about some real estate guy who was successful, sold his business, acquired a "trophy wife" and then went bankrupt. It made no sense. He spoke about a small golfer who was good. WTF. He was all over the map.
Then, when I watched the recap on the TV, every American channel made Trump sound sane. They only replayed the few complete sentences that had any thread of sanity. Even then, Trump said that we are a miliary that "spreads Democracy at the point of a gun", when he obviously meant to say the opposite.
Why is the media covering for this guy? He hates them. 98% of Americans did not watch the whole speech, they only consumed the recap. The MSM makes this insane man look sane and report his actions like they are a well thought out strategy. They are not. This 50% tariff on Europe is just a whim. Trump is like a mad king and very few people in the MSM are calling him out. There will be a reckoning, and we will all suffer. And not just those who support this moron and those of us who oppose him. But beyond that, the whole world. There is no place to hide.

(162 posts)Why doesn't the media see that in the end game, Krasnov doesn't need them. Much like Russia and RT Krasnov will soon demand one news source, DJTTV.
Much like I don't understand the republicans in Congress. Again Krasnov end game is he doesn't need them to pass anything. If all he has to do is sign an EO and people march to those orders. Congress doesn't have to worry about being reelected, after Krasnov stops future elections.
I know this sounds far fetched and very gloom and doom. But I can't stop thinking about the absolute worst. And I think the rest of the world sees it too.
See Project 2025.

There doesnt seem to be any urgency about what were dealing with here. It reminds me of that Star Trek episode with these zombie like creatures repeating to Kirk, Spock and Dr. McCoy, You will be absorbed.

That is why the media sane washes Yam Tits.
But we all know this, don't we?

(53,007 posts)They covered for Wilson after his stroke, FDR with his physical disabilities from polio and Kennedy's pain ridden body. They also covered for Raygun's dementia.
However, those situations were not as serious as what we are currently experiencing. This BS is on a much higher level since our actual democracy is being murdered by the GOP.
Greed and power are symptoms of mental health problems. MAGA supporters are sociopathic and sadistic.

And someone on Facebook recently suggested writing to all businesses we interact with, local or narional, to ask them not to support bad policies & politicians.

Anything that happens is on us. Like it or not.
