Media resigning themselves to 8 years of Trump

[Walden Pond]

Stories tonight about hot weather, some airline in Australia nobody cares about. They threw in Kasich whining about Medicare cuts, as if he's a Republican.

It was quite tame though. It's like they know they've got nobody worth a damn to win this thing even four years from now. Evidently, they can't talk Oprah into running. It's her or nothing for them. I saw the lists. One of them had 40 candidates on it. Oprah was the only good one. The rest of them were laughers.

Other than Oprah, the list read about like the following: Cincinnati Reds, Idaho Vandals, Cleveland Browns, Prairie View A&M, Indiana football, Ball State, Canadian picnic table sitters, K-Mart, waterless toilets,...

Just a whole lot of worthlessness. David Muir has almost stopped squinting.

The Democrats cannot stop the running game.

Run up the score

 

[Raoul Duke MU]

You must watch different news than I see. Turn on CNN and it is all politics. Trump is the best thing to ever happen to mass media.

 

[Walden Pond]

I was looking for "It's Sunday." Then I was going to nod yes and realize it'll pick back up tomorrow.

Still, they have nothing but Oprah. She gonna run or not?

Exactly. Mass media is about how much mass is watching the media. They may lean left on the surface, but they're not as much about the lean as they are how many tune in. If a car wreck turns heads commercials are being sold.

Now take this with a grain of salt but buzzfeed is reporting that CNN has imposed new guidelines on how they report Russia stories. Apparently after their latest fake news story that had to be retrscted Jeff Zucker had to get involved. Now all stories must be approved before being published.

CNN sucks.

Not just because they're liberal. Because they've got nobody worth a shit. If they had Brian Williams or even Tom Brokaw, they might be something. They've got nobody. Wolf Blitzer making goat noises and some old fruitcake?

The old fruitcake is soft spoken, reminds me of some guy shopping for printer supplies on a Staples commercial or something. Just not a whole lot of personality really.

Jake Tapper is probably one of the few legit journalists out there.

 

[Walden Pond]

I had to look up who that was. That's fine and dandy for stat geeks or whatever, but the majority of us old asses with our foot in the grave just want a somber serious sounding voice.

We really don't even care what they say, just as long as it sounds serious. We're old. We had a long day of feeding pigeons or "working", and now we want to be informed. By somebody who sounds and looks real important. Not by little kids or some guy shopping for a printer cartridge for his Lexmark so he can go home and print out his kids' lunch menu.

Walden you are Young. If ophray wins I will burn the white house down

yeah, CNN is all politics, for sure. loved that story they retracted the other day. trump missed out on that one, unless i missed him nailing them for it.

 

[Walden Pond]

She's too nice to run. Can't be ruthless enough. Would likely cry, because Trump and us deplorables would not take it easy on her.

But I'm old and likely dying. Hurting all the time, tired. Things really couldn't be better, but I'm physically deteriorating. Circulation is bad. I probably have diabetes, but I don't want to give myself the shots. Gonna be losing half of my left foot probably.

Either diabetes or I'm going to have a blood clot lodge in my lung one night. The whole ordeal of 4-5 years ago really poisoned the hell out of me. Not in very good shape, but if it all ends tonight I got all I ever wanted and more so it's good.

was watching the clinton news network yesterday for entertainment to keep me awake, and i swear, tapper looked like he was ready to start crying at any given point.

Donald Trump calling out someone else for lying...that's rich.

 

[WV-FAN]

yeah, just like that someone calling him out for lying, eh? LOL!

 

[Walden Pond]

But this perfectly illustrates my assertion that the Democratic candidate field sucks bigtime.

Here you've got an urban utopian who feels sorry for a lot of people. Begging for a Democrat to vote for. Didn't vote for Hillary, of course I'm assuming. I'd say 83% chance that he didn't vote for her. The same chance holds for the giant list of crap they have for 2020.

However, if they run Oprah he would vote for her and absolutely would not admit to it on here. I'd put the percentage on that around 94.3.

 

[Raoul Duke MU]

yeah, just like that someone calling him out for lying, eh? LOL!

What I am lying about? That's EG's new line of attack when we get on him about Xenu or being a communist. You are starting to sound like you might be sucking on EG's cock.

Trump's campaign was the biggest bunch of horseshit I have seen in my life. I know they all lie, but he takes the prize. What's sad is all you redneck crackers believing that shit. You all really thought a rich man was going to stick it to China and Mexico. Suckers.

We just wanted someone to say it. To have the balls to say it. Trump was a fighter and that is what we wanted. Not politically correct.

As Walden says, the wall was built the night he won. A man had the sack to stand up and give the world the finger. We liked and we won and nobody is going to ever take that away from us.

Donald, keep running the ball until they can stop it.

This is the dumbest thing ever. You are actually proud you got hoodwinked. "Well, he isn't going to do a single thing he said, and is in fact doing the exact opposite on much of it, but durrrr he said it so we win." Proud to be a sucker.

What we going to do vote for that old wrinkled hag?

Or in the primary vote for those loser Republicans who would have the let the old wrinkled hag stream roller them?

Hell no. We got the angry old white guy and pulled the lever proudly. F Congress.

 

[Walden Pond]

Where's all this sucker business when the poor and stupid vote for Democrats and 8 years later they're still poor and stupid?

 

[Raoul Duke MU]

Hell no. We got the angry old white guy and pulled the lever proudly. F Congress.

You got a snake oil salesmen. The only thing Trump is angry about is he actually won, and now he can't live as he was accustomed to.

All the times you have claimed white people only voted for Obama because he is black...you only voted for Trump because he is a white man... hypocrite.

I'm waiting for the jobs to come back from Mexico and China. Let me know when your not follows through. Meanwhile, he bragged about Carrier, now they are still going to Mexico lol. He makes a Jewish pawn broker look honest.

You don't make sense. You have claimed the blacks vote Dem to keep welfare. Welfare doesn't make anyone rich. Ni@@er rich, maybe. So I guess based on your views they got exactly what they wanted.

I can't figure you out. Sometimes, you pretend to be a redneck, talking about pick-up trucks, fast cars, and shotguns, but all I see when you type out something is a picture of Bernie Sanders with a Rachel Maddow haircut.

I didn't vote for any of the other white guys. Trump said what needed to be said.

Voted for him and he is doing a damn good job.

I can't figure you out. You act smart but fell for the BS. First clue: dude is actually vulgar with his wealth.

You are supposed to be MH but don't know me? I've always been me: social libertarian, Whig/early Republican economically (and so opposed to "free trade" long before it was cool last year), oppose war but if we go to war kill them all and take their shit. This means I fit in no party.

 

[Raoul Duke MU]

Trump said what needed to be said to get your vote and now won't do any of it.

FIFY

 

[Walden Pond]

they got exactly what they wanted

Yeah, so why are they still so mad? Same with liberals everywhere. You all have what you want. You can do what you want.

You're just mad because we don't want to do it and like it with you. That's all politics is now. Feel good bull. You all want some great utopia, you get it, find out it's not really utopia, then blame people who didn't want it in the first place.

So, you want to smoke a bunch of weed, get your groceries at Walmart, and kill the rag heads. See, we're really not that far apart.

As for the media, it's a show. Fox made bank bitching about Obama, now the others are going to make bank bitching about Trump. Granted, I think he is a fool, but I have better things to do with my time than go to protests to get on TV.

Do and like what? What utopia? I'm just as happy in the sticks as the city, both have positives and negatives. I'm not mad, I think a bunch of fools elected a fool. And the other side nominated an entitled bitch. Fools all around, congratulations we are a stupid nation.

 

[Raoul Duke MU]

Change Walmart to Kroger, and throw in a 100 MPH speed limit. See, that's how two sides negotiate.

 

[Raoul Duke MU]

Those political tests usually put me at center left-right and kind of up towards libertarian. But they weigh a lot of shit to mean left when it really doesn't, for example I am pro-choice but not because I am a feminist, it's a libertarian thing. Then I fvck it up more supporting single-payer, but it's not because of socialism, it's because costs are out of control. And then it really gets confused because I am all kinds of pro-gun, but that should have nothing to do with what we call conservatism, I say let gays marry and give them matching AR-15s as a gift.

Eisenhower would be to the left of Obama if he were alive today. Obama and Bill Clinton were damn near Republicans. There is no real left, except for when you see like 100 masked radicals marching in Berkeley and think it's a big deal but forget there are 4.7 million people in the San Francisco area. Obama and the Dems passed Mitt Romeny's health care plan...wow, so radical.

 

[Raoul Duke MU]

DEMAND BETTER. If you vote for shit, they will keep giving you shit.

 

[Dreh_Nagi_HC_IM]

Make it Meijer and we have a deal. Not sure why, but Krogers are scarce up this way. In three weeks though, I'll get to rejoice by shopping at Publix, Winn-Dixie, or the Piggly Wiggly.

 

[Walden Pond]

It's all fairly respectable. I particularly enjoy and appreciate the "we're a stupid nation" sentiment. Seems like that's a modern luxury. Our stupidity is mainly a lot of softness and laziness.

However, I still get the sense you would have been more satisfied with Hillary in office. At the end of the day, everyone falls on one side or the other even if barely inside the line.
