Trump's approval ratings on the economy and inflation are worse than Biden's ever were and he exhibits far more signs of physical and mental decline than Biden ever did and yet the media coverage does not remotely reflect these facts. Draw your own conclusions

The only reason the Trump Admin admitted they canceled grants to blue states is so they could avoid discovery which surely would have unearthed emails, text messages, and other documents that would have been like 1000x more incriminating.

This is what has been unleashed in this country: a return to emboldened racism. They feel validated and vindicated. They no longer have to couch their bigotry in polite language. It can now, once again, be raw and visceral. This is what we are fighting people.

There are reporters in the room every time he dozes off and not one of them speaks up and is like SIR, ARE YOU AWAKE? They just stand there, saying NOTHING while this guy routinely falls asleep in public. Really embarrassing.

Israel deliberately targeted Palestinian children in Gaza, U.N. commission says https://t.co/kR5Ij3b0Nw

Literal atrocities going on within our own borders that should lead to prosecutions, Congressional hearings, and firings, but you will never hear about them b/c reporters are too busy cultivating ~ sources close to the President ~ for their inane scoops.

WOW!! JD Vance got the Iranians to AGREE to the SAME thing we had under OBAMA in the agreement that TRUMP pulled out of!

All it took was months of war, 300 billion to Iran, and one of the biggest US capitulations in history.

ART OF THE DEAL, BABY!!

Totally checked out on the biggest foreign policy issue of the day and it won't even be remarked upon by the same people in the press who demanded one hundred page policy papers from Kamala Harris.

We don’t talk enough about how autocrats view taxpayer dollars—not as public resources to serve the people, but as a pot of gold to enrich themselves and their allies. Their focus isn’t public welfare; it’s personal profit and power.

Hi, the reflecting pool already has algae in it.

Glad we paid 14 million for that renovation.

El descaro de esta gente le da una nueva definición a esa palabra.

Any self-respecting official would have resigned in disgrace when they lied about the destruction of Iran's air defenses but since nothing matters anymore and no one has a memory of more than one news cycle, thought I'd remind everyone of this gem from 2 months ago

CNN = Owned by a right-wing billionaire.
CBS = Owned by a right-wing billionaire.
FOX = Owned by a right-wing billionaire.
WaPo = Owned by a right-wing billionaire.
WSJ = Owned by a right-wing billionaire.

Ah yes, tell me more about how the mainstream media is “far left.”

He has an entire media ecosystem devoted to telling his supporters he never does anything wrong, a mainstream media ecosystem reliant on access to him, and a Congressional majority that acts like trained seals. He'll bullshit his way through this like he has everything else.

Reminder:

They have no actual positions. About anything.

@Angry_Staffer Maybe Jake Tapper is busy. A book about Hunter, perhaps.

[Angry Staffer @Angry_Staffer]

Does anyone actually believe this shit anymore?

I would respect MAGA a lot more if they just admitted that this administration is a fucking dumpster fire, but they enjoy owning the libs too much to care

Outrageous willful ignorance by RFK Jr.

[LegalLegacy @LawLegalHistory]

Media and Trump Admin only care about the people who can afford to be obsessed with the stock market. To care about the rest of us is "socialist"...

[scary lawyerguy @scarylawyerguy]

Keep saying there are a myriad of data points indicating the economy is heading right down the toilet but the media's obsession with the Dow Jones is blinding them to what's staring the rest of us in the face.
