Remember when a congresswoman had to bring her newborn to work because moms with newborns weren’t supposed to get special treatment?
So where the fuck is Mitch McConnell?
Warner on CBS: I was embarrassed that the president went before our country and networks like yours carried this as news as opposed to a rehash of falsehoods. It is incumbent upon you and any responsible journalist to pushback on this.
Massie: "I don't think the problem is that our elections aren't secure because we control the House, Senate, White House, and to some degree we control the Supreme Court. So I ask my Republican colleagues, why are you complaining about election fraud? We won all the damn elections!"
Trump says Democrats forgot to rig the election in 2016, successfully rigged it while *he* was president in 2020, then forgot how to rig it again in 2024. So the only election Democrats supposedly stole was the one he himself controlled.
You have to be a special kind of stupid to believe this bullshit.
I think @jaketapper’s defensiveness here is because he knows there’s some truth to the main criticism. He spent months hawking a book about Biden’s health with multiple segments per day during his press tour, yet he and his network haven’t shown the same level of scrutiny towards a clearly addled Trump. Trump was having senior moments at the same time @cnn was devoting more segments to Biden who was out of office by that time so Jake could sell more copies.
McConnell could not walk by himself or give statements longer than a few seconds, had multiple moments where he froze in front of cameras, and he still has to disappear for weeks before media gave sustained scrutiny to his health.
I’d have more respect for Jake if he engaged with the criticism in good faith. Instead we get doubling down like “look we did one or two segments stop criticizing me!” that only upsets me even more. Biden being old was treated as existential; it’s simply not for Republicans of similar age and in some cases worse health.
Wow. Not a single tweet (or retweet) from @jaketapper about Mitch McConnell in the past 24 hours.
The hypocrisy is astounding. Meanwhile an entire book pretending that Biden being old was some crazy scandal. Zero credibility.
Trump is paying himself a 2.5% general contractor's fee on his 400 million dollar
ballroom.
That's 10 million dollars.
When will MAGA stop making excuses for his corruption?
Clarence Thomas argued the 14th Amendment was written narrowly for former enslaved people and doesn't apply broadly today. Using that same logic, the 2nd Amendment was written for muskets and doesn't apply to AR-15's, but somehow, he's never made that argument.
Massie: "I think it's ironic that we control the House, Senate, Supreme Court, and the White House, and we're yelling 'election fraud'? I mean, we won all the damn elections."
