I grew up during a time when the press would have demanded that the White House release the President's medical records and ask why no one has seen him for four days.

Ah, the good old days, ie 9 months ago.
So, 8 months ago.
Lloyd Austin
I don't give a rats ass about his health or why he hasn't been obnoxiously televised. I care that, if he's not fit, his admin isn't taking steps to move him out - but then we get JDVance. The only hope there is maybe because Trump isn't around- his cult will turn.
Honestly, just nice not to see him.
It will be interesting to see how the media covers this story on the Sunday shows. Just like everything else it will be white washed and non-confrontational out of fear of retaliation. Wake up America…it has come down to this.
As a kid & only 3 channels with all day coverage of tricky dick I’d hoped we would improve as a nation. One thing is very clear history, including all its ugliness, needs to be taught far better.
Last year.
I'm guessing he has COVID
You mean back when the press had some balls
That was when journalists really wanted that big scoop. They needed the real story, they questioned, they investigated and they were TRUSTED! The profession was honorable, and we relied on them for the truth. Now, they parrot the nonsense, and we are vulnerable because they don't care!
The MSM bosses are all cowards and so are the people that work for them.
I think the members of the press are just happy he hasn't said anything else incredibly stupid in the past few days other than about his EO RE: voter ID. I think they're grateful for the breather from the constant torrent of bullshit.
DEMS AND PRESS ARE ALL COWARDS.
Is it possible no one cares where he is? 😆🔥💙🍿
grew up. Biden walked with a limp after hurting his leg and the press acted like he had the plague.
Snap, also was a time he would not have been able to run for President considering his criminal links
shingles, pneumonia, covid vaccines all knocked my mom down for at least a day.
When the media reported facts but that ship sailed 🫤
Imagine that!?
I'd just as soon not see him, thanks.
Oh, yes. I remember it well. When the press was falling over themselves to breathlessly report on the President's health, his age, every stumble and malopropism, their largely uneducated takes on his ability to lead. So many years ago. Months, I mean months. It was just F'ing last year.
So you are 12? Right
There are no credible journalists at the White House Press Court.
Where is Potus? Where is Potus?
The absolute complacency amd silence of the press will be remembered during this period and I truly hope that this is their downfall leading to a surge in independent news that is not owned by billionaires that have any say whatsoever in the narrative.
Those days are long gone.
I grew up in a time when the press hid evidence of the president’s dementia. When was your time?
Which one, Reagan or the current guy?
lol - it’s sad that’s a fair question. Reagan
They’re doing it again.
Both, but then I was a child and didn’t notice. Now? The FUCK?
Well that time wasn’t over the last four years right?
He was having either a medical procedure or a serious meltdown. I bet he’ll have some more.
Billionaires Propaganda Media outlets have been responsible for destroying our Democracy and Justice System. They are complicit in the Fascism Trump and his Republican Fascists have brought
Just so. The good old days.
That Was Before Republicans Had Faux News To Go Hide From The Legitimate Press And Lie Away At....
He probably died and they are trying to figure out how to pass him off as living.
To be fair, no-one is looking for him. Would you want to find him when he is desperate for a scapegoat to blame for his policies failing?
That’s cause he’s dead and they’re scrambling in the background trying to get things together for themselves. Yep he’s dead.
You mean like a year ago? 😂
Exactly right?
Absolutely. And any medical procedure that put him under anesthetic would warrant a transfer of power in the interim.
WTFCARES???!!!
That was when president got impeached for being crooked, now they can shoot someone on 5th aveune.
Paul Ryan and Nancy Pelosi decided that Congressional Oversight is no longer a thing. They just refused to do it. So for over 8 years shocking misconduct has been running rampant in the Executive Branch.
Is he on a romantic getaway with one of his boyfriends? Putin or Kim?
Really, who the fuck cares? Just let us know when he’s dead so we can start the party. #FUCKTRUMP
So did I, along with a time that the media wouldn't be punished or sued by telling the truth.
How long were there "news" stories commenting on Fidel Castro's invisibility before his death was announced?
lol that would be work the modern media stenography drone isn’t really about ✌️work✌️ no society has ever been failed by an institution as completely as the american people have been failed by the collaborationist court media
But boy, it is sooooooo nice NOT to see him!
Putin's reboot in Alaska went wrong.
Yeah. Like 9 months ago.
Nowadays that could end in a $5 million payment to Trump.
Not when he’s dead
Them trying to keep quiet about this only brings MASSIVE attention to it. 'Is Trump Dead' circulation was only born because for once the press shut up, which ironically made everyone pay closer attention. Terrible move.
#pedopotus
Hell I grew up in a time when presidents who ignored the constitution (and put people in illegal prisons, exported migrants to overseas prisons, and put the US military on American streets) actually resigned because they were going to be impeached. Nixon’s crimes are quaint in comparison to Trump!
I’m sure @jaketapper.bsky.social would’ve done that if he hadn’t been so busy being a cowardly, toadying hack and a hypocrite of the highest order.
We don't WANT to see him, that's why. We hope he is somewhere dead that's why.
Yup @nytimes.com @washingtonpost.com
They've always hid the president's health conditions to a certain extent. Cleveland's cancer, Wilson's strokes, JFK's Addison's, FDR's paraplegia, Nixon's drinking, Reagan's senility...
We live in a time when the Washington Post owner is a union-busting billionaire monopolist who spikes his paper’s Harris endorsement, then donates $1M to the felon whose son-in-law received $2B from a man who bone- sawed a Post reporter www.npr.org/2024/12/13/n...
TBF the press knows his medical records are a work of fiction but it may amuse us reading that they claim he is super fit , 6ft 6 inch tall and not an ounce of fat on him.
Yeah, that was like 9 months ago.
Ahhhhh….You mean Earth 1
When was press like this? Was it when they covered Donalds empty podium for hours while Sanders got zero coverage speaking to 25k? Was it when they completely ignored all Donald's ties to Epstein available before his first election? I guess I'm jaded
Did you? I'm X gen and remember US press as propaganda. Always has been. Remember all the media taking headlines from Bush administration to invade Iraq. Later the so called liberal NT times apologized to readers.
Me too but most were not corporate owned and afraid of the sitting president.
Now we're just relieved that no one has seen him.
Tapper would be harping about it.
The Soviets kept Chernenko and Andropov ‘alive’ for years.
RFK Jr has inculcated the brain worms to keep the host "alive". Though the extremities might continue to decay, & the host cannot technically make new thoughts, it can reuse old thoughts and combine them in ways that appear conversational. It's obvious
I think they had him go out on Saturday because they had to prove he was still alive. But he didn't look good yesterday.
You mean like the fourth is supposed to? Like it used to?
Yeah that time was only 15 months ago, only feels like decades at this point
Those were the days. I keep telling myself that but also a little nagging voice that says, “doesn’t every generation say that?” Still think a vibrant press is absolutely necessary.
The press has become wimpy. They don’t want to ruffle feathers 😡
I'll never forget the day that Hillary stumbled at the door of her limo. Oh, the horror...
Everyone just kind of stands around looking at each other, wondering what they should do, besides HIDE.
Especially him being a person that has to have cameras in his ugly face so he can spew shit over the airwaves on a daily basis.
I know we're impatient, but it'll happen and SOON!!!
Really, do you want to see him?
Oh shucks I didn't even miss him
Right!?! This is completely unacceptable. How far we have fallen.
I know, me too. I remember the water gate. My dad watched the Watergate trial every damn day. And of course, I was a teenager, so it bored the hell out of me.
The press no longer demands nothing
Probably some high-tech rejuvenation treatments where they exchange his entire blood volume.
😂😂😂
That was in the Biden administration.
Wait, we have a corporate media that has reporters? I thought they were all pundits and sane washers for a convicted felon and adjudicated rapist and his minions... like on his payroll or something.
Was the President suing the Networks? Did he have 34 felonies? Was he in jail for them? Did he continue his business during his presidency? Did Congress step asile and allow him to rule by EO? Did he lead a coup? See the differences?
I want a press shithead to grow some fucking balls and ask why Trump was so VIRULENTLY anti mask during Covid because according to him and MAGA, "You can't breathe with a mask on," yet has NO problem with the ICE scumsacks wearing masks. Ask him to explain his disingenuousness on this issue.
@jaketapper.bsky.social
MSM is scared shitless of President Childfucker.
For sure, they would’ve did this for Biden. Trump knew health issues when he ran for president but oh no it’s all about Biden.
Remember when the press when ape shit because Biden’s SecDef disappeared for one day to have prostate surgery?
We no longer have a MEDIA SYSTEM we can rely on for the truth.
And by that you mean last October?
That was a few short months ago. Ask @jaketapper.bsky.social where HIS followup is.
Maybe he croaked and no one knows 🤞
It should be an impeachable offense to not address the public every day
Me too
Man. We can barely keep up with Carney flying everywhere, making deals, looking at people… If he was missing for four days I would assume he tried to pass through a US airport. (I know I know it’s not funny for you but it is to me)
Remember when politicians getting gunned down in their homes would have been a big story with legs?
it’s time to start taking these white house failures to task
The time when the press would have demanded release of prez medical records was when journalist had a say with how their news organization reported a newsworthy national story. Now, it's billionaires that bought the newspapers. Thank goodness there are independent news sources popping up. Find them
God knows the Right Wing propaganda machine would LOSE THEIR F*ING MIND if Biden disappeared for more than a day, screaming for investigations & deep state cover ups.
