Hey media: go cold turkey on Trump --
"Don’t allow him to become a self-styled president in exile, the golf-cart version of Napoleon on Elba. Do not set up a Mar-a-Lago bureau.Don’t have entire reporting beats dedicated to what he and his family members are up to." —@sulliview. https://t.co/sfiRKmUIMt

What's the bad faith "Fuck Your Feelings" crowd faux upset about now? --
Republicans are about to do the same thing with “fuckers” that they did with “deplorables.”

1. Pretend to be offended by the word
2. Start saying “since they called us fuckers we might as well behave like fuckers”
3. Proudly self-identify as “fuckers” to own the libs pic.twitter.com/iEwTLvVo2s
Seeing "Jen O'Malley Dillon said a bad word" still trending this morning highlights the challenge of pushing back against bad faith only amplifying it further. And yet, "Just ignore it" doesn't really work when there's a media behemoth that lives on this stuff like oxygen.

Are we really talking about the f word in any context other than the f-ing people who stood by Trump as he boasted about “grabbing women in the pussy”, smeared “shit hole countries” called black NFL players “sons of bitches” and assaulted our democracy while ignoring covid?

People who stood by Donald Trump for the last four years are now claiming to be offended that a Democratic campaign manager used a curse word? I don't think so.

Republicans gotta outrage about something, whether it's over a word that aptly describes them, or the degree held by the new First Lady, or to drag Hunter some more. They have nothing significant to whine about. They know their party did fuck up the country and they know they'll be carrying that dishonor for decades, so they have to shake the shiny keys to make us look over there.
ReplyDeletedonnah - yes, it's endless distraction, bad faith, hypocrisy and all the seven deadly sins rolled up into one political party!
