@grahamformaine This is impressive and Mr. Platner seems credible. One would think, by now, the American public has a PhD in recognizing pathological liars after virtually attending a kind of informal Trump University over these last several years. He surely doesn't sound like Trump & his ilk.

@CityWatchWBAI May 7, 2026: Thank you, Bobby! the caller from Flushing, for bringing up the episode from a couple of weeks ago where the guest was really bogus. He brought no "receipts" to back up his statements. Bravo, Bobby.

We are witnessing, in real time, one of the biggest failures of curiosity in the history of journalism.

Katy Tur, squatting in the same building as trump at the RNC, is practicing her best tone of respectful reverence and fangirling as she looks at the mattress-sized gauze on the side of trump's head, and it doesn't occur to her to inquire what he was treated for.

Did he get stitches? If so, how many? Why is the bandage so insanely huge? The photographs didn't appear to show any discernible wound whatsoever.

No, these jackasses are reserving their most harsh interrogations for President Biden, demanding to know if he watched the entire debate from 14 fucking days ago, and who is he listening to, and for the 100th time, is he sure he doesn't want to drop out.

In fact, President Biden has politely attempted to steer the press' focus back to doing their jobs, asking Lester Holt why nobody's asking trump about the 28 lies he told during that debate.

It's outrageous. If you're going to subject one candidate to a body cavity-exam level of scrutiny, subject BOTH candidates to it.

Come on, you can't adequately or honestly "both sides" anything if you're only scrutinizing one side.

Nobody has even asked trump about the discrepancy of denying his involvement with Project 2025 and the fact that he knows many of its planners, and it mentions his name hundreds of times. FAILURE OF CURIOSITY.

Where are the questions about his weird fixation on Hannibal Lecter, or sharks, or any of the other batshit things he gets away with saying at all times?

How about asking him why he admitted to a discussion with Putin BEFORE the Ukraine invasion, or why he said Putin would release hostages to him, and not President Biden?

What about asking him why he was tooling around with the authoritarian leader of Hungary?

It does seem like, even prior to the shooting this weekend, the press has wrapped trump in a protective gauze as ridiculously oversized as his ear mattress.

He's not even the sitting President, but many members of the press have granted him immunity from asking him any fucking questions.

They're even allowing non-doctors to accuse President Biden of having dementia, while saying that trump DOES NOT -- and not an iota of pushback.

Once again, it's a disgraceful display of burying Biden under an avalanche of insipid inquiries and bullshit while extending utmost deference to a would-be dictator who plans to lock many of them up if he wins.

And they are shamelessly helping him.

@Michelle4Hope @jaketapper The People's President is actually a good slogan. 8 millions more votes than Trump in 2020. And likely a millions more margin in 2024. But alas, not enough.
