Most corporate media has a financial interest in not doing that
They've always had a financial interest in Trump being president because he's so volatile of a person that he draws traffic with everything he does. People fall for it all the time. I've stopped caring much about what "Trump says" and more of what Trump DOES.
Because AIPAC
Can you please explain this? I don't understand
Conspiracy Brain.
Everything I Don't Like must have a common cause
Gullible Brain. Nothing is connected, at all. It's just daily synchronicity.
We don't really have much "media" any longer... Just lots of propaganda peddling nonsense networks owned by rich shitheads.
Media owned by the oligarchy empowered
Duh
Fox won't and the "left" normal media won't unless it's diagnosed because they are beholden to journalistic integrity. This is the disparity we're stuck with.
Is this "left media" in the room with us right now..?
Hence the scare quotes in their comment.
The "left wing media" is only as left as their conservative owners will allow them to be
You should probably put quotes around "beholden to journalistic integrity". That only seems to be the case when it suits the network heads.
Because he does a slap lawsuit every time he gets his diaper in a bunch?
That, and he has ok'd his rich friends buying up all of the media.
I wonder just how many pictures of this guy people will share modified with penises after he's no longer in power.
Poor, fictional peni. 🥲
Why wait?
You're not going to do it? I'm going to.
Would it change anything?
Maybe Jake Tapper can write a book about it.
The day after Trump is out of office, you're going to get a tsunami of "We knew all along" gossip books. Just like last term.
The same sycophants who licked his tiny mushroom dick for 4 years will suddenly turncoat but quietly still support
They'll move on to the next pickable dick. That's just part of the job.
Because it’s captured.
who is out here dusting Robert Reich from 2024
I've been hearing "Trump Dementia" stories since his first term.
What's your point? Is that not consistent with dementia?
Having shit politics can happen at any age or mental condition
Alice: "I have not seen X."
Bob: "Well, I have seen X."
You: "What is your point?"
Fucker wanted to nuke hurricanes. That. Is. Demented.
It's part of Project Plowshare from the 1950s
Isn't that when we proved it wasn't a good idea?
We didn't prove it so much as we didn't try it because the folks in charge assumed it was a bad idea.
I guess that "gave it a think" would be a bit better. Though I'm not positive how much then really knew about radiation.
I've known about it for decades. Old news.
More to the point: why can’t this be posted in the politics comm? Because it violates their rules.
Because the news is dead and we don’t know what to do about it.
Oh, may I interest you in, perhaps, a little slice, a tiny morsel, un amous bouch so wafer thin it could not exist in any moment but this, a well-earned first course: anarchy! 🤷🏼♂️
no idea where the cartoon revolutionary came from
Same reason they fabricated gaffes to report on* for Biden, because 'the media' is just billionaire propaganda.
I don't see no content
Anyone have a "no dark pattern" link?
Why bother... It would just end up being a distraction from the reality that whole game is a sham. It'll give people the illusion of making freedom history of picking the next new fake.
...is the articles title, since OP is allergic to them.
Huh?
The media doesn't focus on presidential disabilities, like Roosevelt's wheelchair.
That was more because of radio being the main form of entertainment, not TV, and something that's called "decorum,"
Also him being in a wheelchair didn't affect his mental capabilities like dementia does.
I guess the years of "Biden is to old/Biden is sundowning" from every facet of corporate media were... encouragement?
How much did you spend on your bridge?
There's really no evidence of dementia. If you knew anything about dementia or spent any time around dementia patients you wouldn't make that comment.
I think there's some evidence that he's beginning to slow down cognitively as everyone does as they get older but there's no indication of dementia or a lack of mental capacity.
Also the media tore into anyone who made comments about biden who actually had dementia for years. So maybe people are just afraid of being attacked by the media now if they bring it up again
You are now tagged as dementia denier.
LOL well it just wouldn't be a good day if i didn't make it on SOMEbody's list for something 😜
Maybe you could try getting on a list for doing something good.
Calm down, the five minutes of hate are over, you're supposed to go back to being a sane person now.
The kind of people who make lists are not the kind of people who care about doing good things. They're the kind of people that prefer to pigeonhole people that they believe based on their own ideology is unacceptable. You didn't see Hitler making a list of "good" jews . Maybe you shouldn't be making lists?
"Inject bleach." "Nuke hurricanes." "They're eating cats and dogs." stares into sun
The greatest hits from someone that's TOTALLY NOT DEMENTED!
Sorry but there's a big difference between occasionally stupid and dementia. If you had a family member that had dementia you wouldn't make those kind of statements. Trump does not have dementia and lying about it just makes those who have legitimate criticisms of trump look bad
Thank you for that professional assessment, Internet rando. I'm totally convinced.
LOL That's the kind of thing people say when they know that the other guy is right but they're just two emotionally damaged to admit it. So they lash out and suddenly everything is my fault because they can't come back with anything to refute the point 😂
I understand this is upsetting for you. Unfortunately for your echo chamber trump does not have dementia. He's a slight bit of cognitive decline which is noticeable but it's a long way from dementia.
