Unmitigated gall - last minute narrative shift? And he didn’t go from whining about Joe dropping out to racism, sexism and bowing to the equally narcissistic arse so he could buy the election. He is evil incarnate and following Nazi playbook 100%. I hope MSM is happy with the monster they created
As Samuel Taylor Coleridge said: “In politics, what begins in fear ends in failure.” Another version of this quote says “folly” instead of “failure,” but it amounts to the same ignominious end. Donnie is pissing a lot of powerful people off, silent Americans flying under the official radar who are far more powerful than the dolts he has around him now. This will all end badly for Donnie the Loser — it’s in the cards… people will only tolerate so much intimidation and then, Churchill’s quote becomes the reality…
Unlike the blue state governors who've unified in their resistance to fascism, the media has become a baitbox full of mindless nightcrawlers. Their purchased access will result in more and more of less and less with fewer readers and viewers to even care. Watch for our nightly sages, the comedians, to be sued next. TFG and his SS want to kill Public Radio and TV as well.
Maybe the last bastion of truth will be leaflets dropped by those East Coast drones, which may be why TFG wants them shot down.
I would support a Dem supported and financed PAC returning the favor and unleash miriad lawsuits on the real liars and deceitful MAGA clowns, FOX, Sinclair, Bannon, Patel and on and on.
Perhaps the solution is to have the media totally ignore Trump, and then wait for him to sue for what they don't say about him. That would inflict more pain on him than coverage of his seediness because that's been going on since the 70s.
If MSNBC is to go the way of UPN and DuMont, then what? Like Steve "I have a running tab at the Pineapple Hill," Bannon said "fill it with shit." Trump has been doing that since the 70s. That you still have the stench of Roy Cohen 40 years after he died is both remarkable and mystifying. Just like Gerald L.K. Smith and Father Coughlin 90 years on in Joe Rogan. Reed Gallen wrote that he could take a billionaires' money and start a left wing station (Air America anyone? Current TV? VICENews???) and it would fail. Not because of the personalities or the talent, but the audience just isn't there and the people who would watch it, don't. We read Vanity Fair, Esquire, The New Yorker, your local alternative weekly (Metro Times here in Detroit) and books, like the ones the NYT and WaPo won their Pulitzer Prize on. (But Bob Woodward deserves all the fucking grief he gets after pissing his reputation away since Watergate) Most people don't care or can't see beyond the end of their nose anyway. It is estimated that upwards of 80% of this country have never been out of it. Canada? Too cold. (ever been to North Dakota in January?) Mexico? Too hot. (you mean like Texas?) But yes, by all means, take the kids to DisneyWorld and take the next five years paying off the three days.
Back in the 80s, I went to Disneyland several times. Only on February 14, and only if that was a weekday. They opened the park (which was closed for the winter otherwise). Weekday crowd was small, no lines, and the prices were what ordinary people could afford.
About 15 years ago, I went to visit a woman I knew in Thousand Oaks. Her dad showed me his ticket to Opening Day at Disneyland - Four bucks. He was six. Never made it to the park, been by there a few times on the Amtrak, but I have been to The Magic Castle. Saw Ricky Jay and his 52 Assistants. Great show.
I, also, have been to the Magic Castle as well as Disneyland. I'd vote for the Magic Castle any day. The magicians are outstanding, and they serve a good meal in the restaurant too.
The truth is being tied in knots. It is going to be a challenge to differentiate reality from AI generated visuals . Watch for it. Me thinks the tech bros are looking at the dividends from manipulated narratives. Meanwhile back at the farm, waiting for a white blanket of snow to bring quiet beauty to counter the shit storm.
Wreck's complaint was filed in Polk County IOWA 9:03 PM Thursday night electronically so I could not find even 1 Copy. However PEN, Suzanne Trimmel emailed me a copy a few minutes ago. Hat Tip Suzanne!
My copy still does not have a case number but, I can confirm venue at the "The Iowa District Court of Polk County". The complaint just tracks the boilerplate IOWA consumer fraud act specifically Section 714.3(1).
Regardless of the absence of an IOWA anti-SLAPP statute, there many avenues to attack the pleading. Wreck is using local counsel ALAN R. OSTERGREN, 500 East Court Ave, Suite 420, Des Moines IOWA 50349. alan.ostergren@ostergrenlaw.com.
PEN does not do national litigation but, they do monitor journalism & disinformation among other things.
Loved the last two quotes, Tom, very apropos. The problem is the major media outlets sold off to plutocrats whose sole purpose was to "thought control" over average poorly educated Americans, and except for the top ten States, all but 2, UT, and VA, are in the North East. The rest of the adults are struggling to understand much of anything. The "new idiot box" that has replaced TV seems to be the Smart Phone and social media.
I suspect Politifact,and non-profit Poynter Institute, could be the next target with their just-released #1 Lie of The Year about the Haitian immigrants eating pets. 😡 and Vance share the “honor”.
On little george (how about Chicken George?) at ABC: Russ Wiggins, the editor of The Washington Post, told his successor, "Bradlee, always edit with your hat on." Meaning, be prepared to walk out if you have to. Bradlee said he might have had to do that if Mrs. Graham had wavered on publishing The Pentagon Papers. Today, the washington post wouldn't publish them--too embarrassing to the administration that regulates amazon.
we must "associate" with each element of the resistance. As many as possible show up for The People's March in Washington, D.C. on Jan 18th or supporting marches across the U.S. Let's dwarf his Inauguration numbers.

Churchill's quote was perfect. I hope the convicted felon is unaware of Substack authors and subscribers.
So do I. :-)
Winston knew of what he spoke

I'd join you in that.

Yeah, I have also been to the castle and saw Ricky Jay. Great guy. Loved him in Deadwood.
He was also in a couple of Mamet films and in "Tomorrow Never Dies."
I, also, have been to the Magic Castle as well as Disneyland. I'd vote for the Magic Castle any day. The magicians are outstanding, and they serve a good meal in the restaurant too.
left wing people are not easily indoctrinated to blindly follow a miserable failure!

Surrendering to Trump
Neville Chamberlin’s second chance at screwin’ the pooch
Absolute power corrupts,
absolutely. What a bunch of
yellow chicken livers MSM
has turned out to be. As for
the tech bros...power and
bucks. I don't want to be
Donnie lard butt friend. I
will resist with every last
breath I can take.
We’re in Philly visiting all the old historic sites, and my heart is breaking for what is unfolding.

Excellent post today. Thanks. And I love the two quotes at the end.

Can’t the American people sue Donny? There must be SO many good and sound reasons to do that. So many different possible lawsuits.
tragically a jury of 75 million found that amoral creature innocent!
I heard but I don’t believe that
