The Bigger They Come The Harder They Fall

There’s been a ton of complaining on social media about how they are giving Trump a pass on so many missteps. He can slur his words telling lie after lie for 2 straight hours and the MSM, especially the NT Times will run an article tip-toeing around the elephant in the room. Given the disastrous agenda of the Republican party (with special praise for Project 2025 for putting it in writing), it’s hard to understand why he gets the velvet glove treatment for 9 straight years. One can only conclude that MSM benefits financially with a crazy guy in the news cycle 24/7. Us consumers are eating it up.

Having said that though, it’s also true that the MSM has a history of tearing celebrities down just as fast as they skyrocketed to the top. Take Sarah Palin for example. She was the everyday wonder woman after her nomination in 2012. Republicans were so excited to have a woman on the ticket, that is until it was exposed that she’s intellectually challenged. The movie Game Change sums it up best, but the stories that eventually leaked about how her handlers had to educate her every step of the way on basic things like geography said it all. It didn’t take long for her 15 minutes of fame to extinguish. Her attempt to run for a congressional seat in 2022 failed and now she can’t get a washing detergent commercial to save her life.

Similar stories are associated with other once famous celebrities: Ron DeSantis, Rod Blagojevich, John Edwards, Gary Hart, Rudy Giuliani, Bill Cosby, Mel Gibson, Roseanne Barr, Kevin Spacey, Dan Quayle and Paris Hilton. One minute you’re on top, the next you’re not. Just because you’re the media’s darling for a couple of news cycles doesn’t mean it will last forever. The media likes to sell copy — and nowadays that includes digital copy (clicks). If a story will sell, they will run with it.

As people start abandoning ship from Team trump, I predict the MSM is going to have an absolute field day with his sudden downfall and it will be magnificent to watch. I’ve been predicting for a couple of years now that the Trump story ends the same way as another cult ended in Oregon — with Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh wheels up headed out of the country in a private jet. Time will tell and it’s possible it could even happen in the next 90 days.

Cool Kids for Kamala

Trump, attention seeking whore that he is, from the very beginning has had a strategy (some would say a need) to always be in the news cycle, even if it was bad news. In 2016 he promised to build a great wall on the border with Mexico and that Mexico would pay for it. The media fell for it hook, line, and sinker and ran with this story for weeks, allowing him to hand-wave when pressed for details on how any of this might get accomplished. Once the hysteria died down over that canard, he had to come with another outrageous claim to get back in the news cycle. He said he would “ban all muslims” from coming to the United States. Regardless of how unlawful or impractical a solution appeared to be, the media took the bait and ran with it. Meanwhile the other republican candidates (all 17 of them) were trying to get in to the news cycle and couldn’t get any attention. He completely sucked all the oxygen from the room, meanwhile, coming up with clever nicknames for each opponent: ‘Lil Marco. Low-energy Jeb. Sleepy Joe, Crooked Hillary, Lyin’ Ted. It worked. I will give credit where credit is due. He’s good at it.

Fast forward 7 years to 2024 and Joe Biden has just pulled the rug out from under the republican presidential campaign by withdrawing from the race with just over 100 days to go and passing the torch to Kamala Harris. Democrats rally around this news with enthusiasm and hog the news cycle for 3 whole days. All the cool kids are joining in and republicans are freaking out. It turns out Kamala is popular after all, especially with voters under 35. Now we just need to make sure they get out and vote.

I cannot wait to see what outrageous, bizarre move comes out of the Trump campaign next. It’s coming, we just don’t know what it is yet. He simply cannot stand to not be the center of attention. I’m anxiously waiting 3, 2, 1…

Owning Mike Lee

Poor Mike Lee looked absolutely incredulous at last night’s State of the Union message after Biden called out the ultra conservative Tea Party group headed by Rick Scott for having formally proposed phasing out Social Security. He has this look of “what the heck could you possibly be talking about?” on him. He may have gotten away with it except Meidas Touch was clever enough to embed side-by-side videos of Lee looking stunned by the news at the SOTU and in the next panel, talking to a small group about his plans to phase out Social Security. Republicans sure like to fly under the radar with their secret plans when they can.

Bummer, Mike.

Get On With It

Sure, we knew Mitch McConnell was full of shit when he outlined his reasoning for blocking Merrick Garland. So the planet-size hypocrisy when it comes to the announcements about Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s replacement doesn’t surprise or shock in the slightest.

Get on with nominating someone and then let’s see if 50 senators have the cahonies to do it.

If, by chance they do, congratulations, you won the board game the same way my childhood friend Mark used to. By lying and cheating and making excuses at every turn. He’s in jail now.

Here’s the rub though. If Biden wins in November and then proceeds to expand the court, your job as a republican will be to SHUT THE FUCK UP. Got it? Because this isn’t what’s about best for the country anymore, this is now about manipulating the system in any possible way to get the outcome you want. There’s nothing in our beloved constitution that says they cannot do it, so keep your pie holes shut. All of you.
