Who are these awful people?
Don't you think he looks tired?
Welch: Am American president talks to other American citizens like that, and propagandists come on TV and normalize this behavior. And nothing about this is normal. Nothing
I remember when the news media would frame all economic news, no matter how actually GOOD it was as "Bad News for Biden™" Now that the economy IS in the toilet, there's not much to say about it, not even cute alliteration like "Troubled Times for Trump." #economy www.nbcnews.com/business/eco...
It's almost like a prisoners' dilemma of sorts. If ALL the news media banded together and committed to reporting the news without fear of retaliation from Anusmouth, and they all left news briefings in solidarity if he tried to retaliate, there would be less risk to each outlet individually.
Dismayed but not surprised, sadly. A lot of companies talk a big talk about diversity, but when you take a look what you see is a homogenized cisgender, heterosexual, white male population in many companies... which is to say, they aren't putting their money where their mouth is.
And the same news media that reminded us on a daily basis that Biden was old and may be showing signs of cognitive decline can never bring themselves question the mental fitness of the Anusmouth for one second.
That just sounds like some news outlet got butthurt that something of some small note happened and nobody alerted them.
Examples from today: * A glacier losing stability in a warming world * A rapidly moving interstellar object giving off light from the side facing the sun * A trail camera capturing a light source (probably other trail cameras) * Brighter-than-expected objects in the early universe etc.
For extra LOLs, search Google News for the specific word "baffled". Almost every time that word comes up it's a technology story or a story about scientists being "baffled" by something fairly mundane.
Proof that thoughts and prayers don't do anything.
News media: Sun rises in the east, and scientists are BAFFLED! Trogs: See! Scientists don't know everything! They're no smarter than me! Scientists: *sigh*
"Scientists are baffled" is such a worn-out, tiresome media trope. It's a nose-thumbing gesture to sate the trogs and is almost never actually true - even when an unusual discovery is made, there's typically some basis for it or reasonably good guesses about why it happens. #science
Even the state university I attended in the mid 1990's has seen its tuition more than quadruple since the time I graduated (in fall of 1997). What a lot of folks don't seem to grok is that the CPI is a sort of squishy "average" indicator & some components like housing & education grow MUCH faster.
You can still go to college for $300 a year, right? Why do you lazy slackers think you should get loan forgiveness??
Yup. They think you can "pound the pavement" looking for odd jobs and use the income to buy a $30,000 house on a half-acre. I'm not sure it ever worked that way, but in their minds this is viable.
Boomers still think houses cost $30,000 as well.
But her emails.
The continual presentation of completely abnormal behavior as though it's just ordinary is infuriating. And despite years of questioning Biden's cognition, ZERO mention of Trump's (literally) staggering and obvious mental decline, ever, despite continual examples of his serious derangement.

Not that the mainstream news media can be arsed to even give his antics or braindead behavior so much as a footnote. But they always had time to tell us Biden was losing it.
And please shift your attention to the people who warned about this, to those who have been correct all along.
Walz: "It boggles my damn mind that in the midst of a military takeover of our cities, the flaunting of the rule of law, that the press finds the need to talk about, 'Oh, there's a division in the Dem Party.' There's a division in my damn house & we're still married and things are good. That's life"
Tim Walz: "Think of how easy it would be to be a damn Republican. 'Oh, what should I wear today? This stupid frickin' red hat. What should I say today? I don't know, just make sure it's cruel. Who do we listen to? That guy -- the felon in the White House.'"
Remember how the news media told us it was in the public interest to remind us about age-related cognitive decline every time Biden got someone's name wrong? What does this moron need to do to get them to even ask the question once? Whip it out during a press conference and pee on the podium?
"People can wear their watches again" is the new "People can say 'Merry Christmas' again." Concocting imaginary problems and then pretending to have solved them is what a wholly incompetent administration has to do to pretend it has accomplished anything good.
Hey @reuters.com & @apnews.com, remember when every time Biden got a name wrong, we got an article about cognitive decline? Why is it that the current President can stagger back & forth or issue an executive order about the long-ago-litigated idea of flag burning, and we get nothing?
Republicans see women and children as livestock. Once you realize this, everything makes sense.

If you politely but assertively express a boundary to someone, and they're a functioning adult, they won't take it too personally & they'll respect your boundary in the future. If they cannot be adult about it, your relationship is likely already dysfunctional & you may be better off without it.
I'm sure that's the whole point-- to ensure that billionaires get a deal while everyone else foots the bill. You know, the usual.
It’s exceedingly tedious and the root cause is almost always egomania on the part of the people espousing these things. It’s always the candidate doesn’t excite ME, they don’t check all MY boxes, *I* can’t vote for someone who isn’t completely perfect. I, me, my, strewn throughout.
That’s more a list of news sites than any link to an actual article questioning the cognitive capacity of the President, which was what I was asking about. I don’t have a “substack” - was that supposed to be a childish insult or something?
Can you give me a recent example of a mainstream news article question the President’s cognition in the context of his antics though? I agree, they do report on his absurd behavior, but unlike with Biden, I haven’t seen them questioning his mental acuity.
Remember when the news media was Very Concerned about the cognitive capacity of the President? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
My usual answer: Because it refuses to leave ME alone.
In other words, we have no probable cause, no reasonable suspicion, and we are on a fishing expedition because he criticized Anusmouth and hurt his delicate feelings.

It’d be better if they weren’t.
Proof of what both Adam Kinzinger (congressman) and Noel Casler (former producer on "The Apprentice") told us: When you get near Donald, the smell is overwhelming.
Just to confirm- not a drag queen?
How it should be: "who you are" shouldn't protect you from "what you did." (allegedly)
/r/thathappened
It's like a Denial of Service attack on the truth.
Plenty close enough if you live in the Carolinas I suspect.
Imagine having this shitty job. www.ndtv.com/world-news/r...
Gestapo says what?
Keep in mind that EVERYTHING he says or does going forward is to distract from the EPSTEIN files. E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G.
Good night, BlueSky! It’s a wrap.
Take off the goddamned gloves.
Right? This is the only language they understand, so use it on them.
This is what conservatives want to return us to. It’s what they mean when they wax poetic about the “good old days” - when minorities could be openly persecuted for the crime of existing.
Economy of words.
Wow, when you suck so much you even lose Fox News…
Yes.
Remember when the US News Media was very concerned about the mental state and age of the President? Pepperidge Farm remembers. #DementiaDon #DonOLD
Giving us all the most important details, he is.
Sadly scandals are only worth what the media is willing to invest in reporting on them, and our media has already decided that Republicans can’t do anything wrong. But to your point, at least investors will have other ways of getting the data.
Yup, and check airports, amusement parks, casinos, and basically anywhere else people stop going when they don't have surplus income. At least the ADP stats have been shown to be pretty reliable, and I bet that's where investors start looking now instead of the BLS.
Republicans, about everything:
Republicans, about everything:
SHOWN: Republicans when Democrats do the same shit they do.
Related: BLS nominee suggests suppressing labor statistics, so we can't really know how full the job market is.
Even this article's headline is misleading, but at least it contains accurate information: "The e-bike, which had the right of way as it traveled eastbound on Donnelly Street, collided with the driver’s side of the sedan."
Our bullshit local media initially tried to insinuate that the e-bike was somehow at fault in this tragic incident, when in reality, the e-bike riders had the right-of-way and were merely the first victims of this SUV driver. #bicycling #cycling www.mercurynews.com/2025/08/11/b...
Reskeet with a tweet you still think about
Oh hey I still think about that same one! Hilarious.
So I guess we’re only going to be able to trust the ADP stats now.
There seems to be a lot of confusion on this topic, so allow me to clear it up: There is no "unless the oncoming traffic is a bike" exception to who has the right-of-way in the driving rules, at least not in any state where I've ever lived. Thank you for your attention. #bicycling #cycling

I like how the mainstream news media has rushed to question the mental faculties of a President who wandered up to the White House roof to ramble nonsense. Oh wait, no they didn’t. By the way, Biden is old. #newsMedia #mediaBias #saneWashing #MSM #mainstreamMedia
Not a drag queen.
Pro-tip: when reporting a software defect, do not make developers play "Where's Waldo." Explicitly and clearly explain the *expected behavior* versus the *actual behavior*. If you can't articulate the difference, you don't have a bug to report. #SoftwareDevelopment #Software #SoftwareEngineering
Wow! That’s wild!
Thanks! A long time for humans. A short time for a star!
How soon is "soon" in this case? I have heard many conflicting answers. Like 100 years? 10,000 years? Either could be considered "soon" in astronomical terms, and I'm sure it's difficult to predict as well, but I'm curious if the bounds are any tighter than before.
Don't worry, I'm sure there will be an "internal investigation" while these cops get a paid vacation which will conclude that they did nothing wrong.
At least they'll stop doing other damage for 6 weeks?
Republicans have zero imagination. Can I get a "Benghazi?"
Someone who doesn't know what "The Streisand Effect" is.
Everything except the Epstein files!
It wasn't me, I swear.
It's okay to do an adultery if you're a Republican.
Prior to this exchange they surely met to answer the question, “what COULD we release that wouldn’t implicate me, yet throw a bone to my moron supporters?”
We ❤️ our good neighbors to the north.
I’ll take “Streisand Effect” for $200, Ken.
Like the entire West Coast, including all of its ports. She’s a moron.
I know he's just making shit up, but by "up 60%" is he saying they increased from like 5 to 8? I know most people with a high school education understand how percentages can be highly misleading with small numbers, but of course people who voted for him probably struggle with fractions...
Love it. It’s not perfect, but no place ever is. It’s way better than the hellhole I used to live in, that’s for damned sure. And that’s why I’ve lived here more than 27 years.
I wasn’t born here but I’ve lived more than half my life here at this point. And I escaped the horrid shithole of Florida to come here.
My problem with the last few Superman films exactly... they made Superman this crabby emo Superman who just wasn't very into kindness or humanity at all. Christopher Reeve was "my" Superman.
Huh, but the Anusmouth Assclowns told us that ICE are wearing their uniforms and not trying to disguise their identities. How can this be??
California already gets back considerably less money than it sends to the federal government in taxes. We'd actually be much better off not supporting the slave states as we do now. Here's the catch, though, "Tomi": you also don't get anything from California in this scheme.
Always with these clowns and their criminal behavior, the problem is that the news media is covering it, not that it actually happened.

Coming right out and saying they're going to assume guilt-by-association, which is the opposite of upholding their oath to the Constitution, which quite plainly demands due process for people accused of crimes.
The mysterious 1.6 GHz signal *could* be tracked down fairly quickly using direction-finding techniques and Yagi antennas, but I suspect it's a "birdy" coming from their own equipment. They know there are metallic deposits in the area, so GPS interference wouldn't be at all surprising.
I'm morbidly fascinated by The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch, but I think that about 99% of what they've encountered can be explained by GPS interference from something local, updrafts from the nearby mesa, and radioactive decay of local mineral deposits. #HistoryChannel
