First up, the New York Times. While reporting on the White House Occupant’s characteristically unhinged speech at West Point, the Paper Of Record felt the need to indulge in shameless sanewashing.
Then there’s the media in general, in its coverage of Biden’s cancer diagnosis. This invariably led to the assumption that he’d known about his prostate cancer all along, and had been covering it up — and to a discussion about whether he’d been mentally capable of serving as president. Evidently they assume, based on the current occupant of the office, that every president must have his brain up his ass. Fox “News” in particular followed every single expression of putative sympathy for Biden with a big “BUT”… And Fox also suggests — nay, insists — that the Democrat (sic) Party en masse was involved in a huge “cover-up” and thus has a “trust problem” with the public. Unlike the party championing a convicted criminal who’s repeatedly spread election lies and incited a violent attack on the Capitol.
Media outlets also were grossly derelict in reporting that Kristi Noem said she supported the constitutional right to habeas corpus — even as she also expressed support for her boss’s disregard of it. Few of them mentioned that she doesn’t even know what habeas corpus is; when questioned about it in a congressional hearing, she gave a totally wrong definition — a definition, in fact, that is pretty much the opposite of what it means.
And in keeping with the theme of gross incompetence in this administration, the new head of the Social Security Administration admits that when he was offered the position, he didn’t even know what it was, and had to look it up online.
Which brings us, inevitably, to RFK Jr. Reminding us that there is no conspiracy theory too kooky for him to believe, he vowed that he would look into chemtrails, and the practice would be terminated on his watch. So remember, if you wake up one day and find that plane exhaust is no longer controlling your mind or body , and you no longer have brain worms, it means he’s been a smashing success.
MAGA cultists (you know, the folks who are constantly going on about Thuh Lefft supposedly being “triggered”) are really freaking out about the sudden popularity of the numerical meme “86 47”, which they claim is invoking an assassination of Dear Leader. Which is very interesting. Because during Biden’s term, they plastered “86 46” all over T-shirts, mugs, and bumpers. Are they now acknowledging that this was a call for violence?
“There’s a difference between free speech and protesting.” — Patricia Heaton
House Republican Tim Burchett on why he doesn’t use straws: “That’s what the women in my house do.” A real man just gulps things down without hesitation.
The Sharpie President met with South African president Cyril Ramaphosa, and tried to convince the latter about the narrative of “white genocide” in South Africa by showing some photographic evidence. But the photos were from another country. In the same meeting, Ramaphosa wryly joked “I’m sorry I don’t have a plane to give you.” To which the W.H.O. (not exactly known for his sense of humor) replied in earnest, “I wish you did. I would take it.” Hey, why should he try to hide his corruption when he’s always rewarded for it?
Meanwhile, he was also asked by the media to comment on Biden’s cancer diagnosis. Whereupon he spent about 5 seconds expressing stilted sympathy for the former president before abruptly pivoting to his favorite topic, and indeed the only topic that matters to him at all: himself. He was always open and above board about his own health, by golly, and even took a “cognitive test”, which (Did he mention before?) he “aced”, and hey aren’t you all very proud of him for that. He still believes it’s a Mensa-level feat to memorize the words person woman man camera TV.

You would think that any Judge who understands why a President does not really need to look at anyone’s ACT BLUE records, would have an easy job determining that this kind of anti-4th amendment intrusion into our privacy, is about as unconstitutional as snatching people off of the streets to be tortured, without even acknowledging their rights to due process. One problem though, they have already snatched several immigrants in our country and sent them to collect the unlimited prize of being buried in horrific Prisons, not even knowing what crimes they had supposedly committed? And without any real knowledge of their rights, and even how or when they might be released!
Trump’s basterdization of our constitutional principles is not only shameful, but such a denial of their human rights will only do our country irreputable harm in the future, and cause even more suffering for those on both the right and on the left!
Sometimes I feel our Court system is being manipulated by political thieves who try to dazzle judges with endless postponements and/or by making them focus on granular legal issues which need to be solved as if they were Rubric’s cubes.
This strategy brings to mind the arguments of a lawyer as portrayed in the series about who really killed RFK. In one scene a lawyer was asked if he could prove anything which was not backed up by facts for evidence, and he replied something along the lines of that he could prove that a 10,000 pound elephant could hang over a cliff supported only by his tail wrapped around a daffodil to win case.
This seems to be the way the courts have been convinced to humor Trump over constitutional issues that are as clear as a bell to the rest of us, and let him complicate his appeals by encouraging the justices to dissect every word in their lawbooks. We all know that Trump has no excuse not to know if he took an oath to single word in their lawbooks in order to defend the constitution, even though Trump must remember what he said in answer to one of Justice Roberts most important questions at his own Inauguration.
And we all know that students demonstrating at Harvard to criticize Israel, do not intended to spread antisemitism, yet he cloaks the whole issue by paradoxically claiming that we all have a right not to diminish our institutions educational intent, by clouding them with useless ideological arguments. Good grief! He has done nothing but challenge ideological arguments to be free of “radical left” brainwashing from the moment he was elected! If nothing else, as Trump bring them to their knees by asking the judges to consider endless and convoluted legal dissections of irrelevant “facts,” as if they very probable if unknown facts–as If Harvard expelled students over violently attacking Jewish students who were caught storming over our southern borders (from wherever)–in order to rape, steal, and kill, and kill (ALL) of us us! Our judges all seem to bend over backwards not to make waves, before make decisions that are often legally nebulous like upholding our right “”NOT” to send our children to schools that forbid antisemitism by letting them discuss and give speeches about world affairs, perhaps because Marjorie Taylor green believes that if one Latino murders an American that means that they are all here to rape steal from, and kill all of us!
