I'm not sure exactly what the issue is here. The kids love it, there's not 0.0001% of the proselytizing you see elsewhere, like football games nowadays. As usual the parents are the problem and the problem makers and infect their own kids with "those people" concepts. 

 

I mean I won't be part of it. I don't have the wardrobe and would be a grotesquely unattractive woman but beyond that, it doesn't even move the needle for me.

As long as the drag queens don’t start talking to the kids about condemned souls burning in a lake of hellfire for all eternity, I’m pretty much fine with it.

...or talking them into participating in child pageants because those aren't sexualized at all.

Press: Time for media to stop promoting Donald Trump

 

Donald Trump is a political figure. But, more than anything else, Trump is a creation of the media. And it’s time for us in the media – whether print, TV, radio or online – to admit that, like Victor Frankenstein, we have created a monster.  

 

Let’s face it: Trump wouldn’t be where he is today without the attention he’s always received from the media. It started long before he ran for president, when he was the daily favorite of the New York gossip columnists. Why? Not because he did anything worthwhile, but simply because he was rich and flamboyant.  

 

Thanks to that free publicity, NBC’s then-president Jeff Zucker gave Trump his own TV show, “The Apprentice” — which he hosted for 14 years. Again, not because he had any noticeable talent, but just because he was a rich developer.  

 

In 2015, the developer-turned-TV-star jumped into politics, launching a campaign for the Republican nomination for president that was, on many levels, a joke. He had no political experience. He’d been a lifelong Democrat. He seemed to know little about public policy, which he demonstrated at his campaign announcement, branding most immigrants from Mexico as criminals, drug dealers and rapists. Yet we in the media immediately treated him like a serious candidate.  

 

And while any other candidate was lucky to get one minute’s coverage on the evening news, some cable news channels carried Trump’s rallies from start to finish.  

 

Fellow journalists, admit it: We made Trump a serious candidate, and then we made him president.  

 

Once Trump became president, we continued to coddle him, even though he complained about it, giving him breaks we’d never given any other president, Republican or Democrat. Spreading, for example, his lie that he had actually won the popular vote in 2016. Accepting as no big deal his refusal to put his business deals on hold while serving, thus setting up clear conflicts of interest. Giving credibility to his denial of any involvement by Russia in the 2016 campaign.  

 

And, worst of all, not holding him properly responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans due to his utter failure to take the coronavirus seriously.  

 

Trump got a free pass from the media as president and, for the last two years, for his shameful conduct as former president: still refusing to admit he lost the 2020 election, while doing everything he could to undermine our democratic process.   

 

I implore my colleagues in the media: We made Trump. Shame on us.  

 

Now it’s our patriotic duty to cover him as we should have from the very start: 

 

as a dangerous threat to our democracy.

Despite rebukes, Trump’s legal brigade is thriving

 

Juli Haller was part of Donald Trump’s legal brigade in Michigan, filing a lawsuit alongside the ubiquitous Sidney Powell that claimed absentee vote counts were likely manipulated by a computer algorithm developed by allies of deceased Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chávez.

 

The lawsuit was quickly deemed baseless, and she was among nine attorneys ordered by a federal judge to pay the city of Detroit and state of Michigan’s legal fees and referred for possible disbarment. In a blistering rebuke, Judge Linda V. Parker called it a “historic and profound abuse of the judicial process.”

 

But unlike Rudy Giuliani, whose law license was suspended in New York and Washington, D.C., for championing similar cases, or Haller’s own co-counsel, Powell, whose law license is at risk in Texas, Haller is going strong. She has gained a robust client roster that includes two alleged members of the far-right vigilante group the Oath Keepers who are accused of fueling the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.

 

Haller’s trajectory — from rebuked purveyor of baseless claims to a go-to attorney for MAGA extremists — infuriates many liberal activists, including some groups who are targeting the lawyers for discipline, and alarms some nonpartisan specialists in legal ethics. They say those who helped legitimize the former president’s lies should not be allowed to use it as a foundation to build their legal practices, lest it serve as an incentive to profit from ever more outlandish claims that shake the confidence of Americans in the integrity of U.S. elections and endanger democracy.

 

In total, at least 16 lawyers who represented plaintiffs in five federal lawsuits promoting Trump’s baseless election fraud claims in the key battlegrounds of Michigan, Georgia, Wisconsin and Arizona remain in good standing or have no record of disciplinary action with their respective bar associations or licensing authorities, according to a POLITICO review.

If you hear your meemaw talking about marijuana causing mass shootings....

 


Canada has legalized weed for years now. Despite all the psychosis and personality changes…. almost no mass shootings.

 

Try again.

Holy **** Bill Bennett is still around! 

 

Another one of these evangelicals brought in by Reagan. Pfft he only became Secretary of Education because the original jabroni turned out to be a neo Confederate. 

 

****ing goldbricker was also the first drug czar in the US government. He quit after a year. Probably spent all that time trying to pray the problems away. 🙏

Joe Rogan says Trump not welcome on his podcast: ‘I don’t want to help him’

https://www.washingtonpost.com/arts-entertainment/2022/07/06/joe-rogan-trump-podcast-guest-spotify/

 

This is like someone saying they peddle heroin and meth to kids but they draw the line at cocaine, because that's just wrong.

Remember the guy on here who claimed to be a “free speech absolutist” and would constantly say “why don’t you go on Joe Rohan’s podcast and debate him.”?   Must be confusing times for him.

 

I get the impression that their times have been confusing for a long time

I wonder how many of Rogan's Trump-loving fans don't care about Rogan outside the false idea that Rogan was pro-Trump? 

 

Now that they know for a fact he isn't, how much of that good will is gone, because it isn't even about "conservatism" to most of them, it is about blind loyalty to one person.
