Sadly, The Lame-Stream Media Loves Trump
So, We The People Can't & Won't Be Silent About Everything Else
Y’all know by now that no one loves trashing Trump, the orange wildebeest, more than I do. After all, it was moi who crowned him Gross Baboon of the Year as far back as 2012. (Click the image below.) BUT…..
The obsession with him and his obsession with himself has virtually destroyed the mainstream news media. They are all addicted to that stinky, snatch-grabbing, money-grubbing, lying sack of shit. At the risk of sounding like that lunatic, Sarah Palin, the three major cable news channels and their sad, little counterparts have turned into the ‘lamestream media.’ Pardon me while I belt out that Christian spiritual, “Will the Circle Be Unbroken.”
Meanwhile, the Trump arrest seems to be galvanizing the once grand old party, which is now, as far as I’m concerned, officially The Fourth Reich. And there is no turning back. To those few sane republicans left, accompanied by the conservative Democrats bandying Asa Hutchinson’s name around as though this old white man is potentially the second coming, take a seat. By now, we have heard enough about the ‘second coming’ to the point where it has created a record number of Atheists. So take your ad nauseam Bible-thumping and insults to the actual Jesus Christ comparisons to these old white republicans and hang it up—no slight intended.
As someone who has been dubbed a truth-teller, or as I like to call myself, The Opinionator, far be it from me to point out that the world is still spinning, and things are not looking good for many of us. It is up to ‘we, the people,’ to talk about what’s not being reported by these toxic, bloviator-filled news shows where six know-it-alls pontificate on what will happen or could happen to Trump. People who you really don’t give e a damn what they have to say about anything. Let alone; they are all regurgitating the same crap, hour after hour. Since no one knows anything, anyway, might I suggest that these bloviators try being of service? Each nudnik should select an underreported ‘actual’ news item and filter it into these otherwise one-hour, round-table blather-fests. But alas, there’s little chance of real news being reported as long as that newly burnt orange hog is the top story.
Ultimately and sadly, the Trump noise is diminishing our ability to get the support of the media to pressure Congress on gun legislation, first amendment rights (RESTICT ACT), gay rights, trans rights, women’s right to access contraception, drag queens, and books that the idiots who want them banned should be forced to read. They can’t cover the crooks running the banks, not to mention the criminals in our Congress, proven insurrectionists, that we are stuck having to ask for help.
So I am asking all of you on social media to pick a story that is important to you or select a candidate running in a down-ballot race this year and share it on all your platforms. Remember, the government is trying to silence us with that insane Restrict Act; it’s not only about TikTok. Click the link and contact the sponsors of that bill and threaten to vote them out. Guess it’s up to us to become the judge, the jury, and the new media bloviators.
Peace…

Wow! Claire, where did you find that?
Author apparently anonymous...but wow, this is some great writing...
“Talented and well-practiced in every vice, a stranger to compassion or empathy, a liar and a cheat so complete in perfidy that he has elevated his dishonesty to hold it up as an ersatz moral principle, violent, so long as he can order someone else to do the dirty work, grotesque in body, graceless in action, in possession of a wounded self-regard so colossal as to smother any spark of grace, treasonous, not only to country, but to every ally he has ever had, the poisoned fruit and rankest flower of racism and contempt for women, and utterly devoid of shame for his moral and spiritual bankruptcy.
That is your leader. That is to whom you give your money. That is who you follow and laud. That is whose banner you willingly carry. Why? Because he is a mirror, not a lighthouse. You see yourselves in him. He is what you would be, if you had inherited money and could shed the last vestiges of conscience and shame.
No, I do not “respect your choices,” nor do I admire your loyalty and dedication to this miserific, demoniac vision. You have demonstrated not only a lack of civic virtue, loyalty to the Republic and to the rule of law, but a willingness to engage in violence and sedition at his slightest expressed wish. And you will never, ever admit you were wrong.
Because you see your dark, twisted, resentful dreams in him. And to renounce him is to renounce yourselves.”
