What Does This Guy Eat Every Morning That Makes Him So Angry and Delusional?

As Meat Puppet Mika looks on adoringly, Squinty Joe, known for his scripted rants he stays up nights writing because we all know he's not sharp enough to 'Off the Cuff It', has become a Biden confidante, frequent phone buddy and the regime's morning kickoff for the network's daily cavalcade of hate and propaganda. During his spiel today, Squinty Joe bragged that he has spent "hours" chatting with Biden, and came away so impressed. And if you're not impressed too, he said F-You.

Squinty & Meat Puppet Do Journalism 🙃 Call Out Democrat Hypocrisy on Election Challenges

On today's edition of  'Morning with Squinty & Meat Puppet',  Mika B. surely rattled a few cages by called out Democrats for their hypocrisy in criticizing the Republicans for challenging the election results. After noting that congressional Democrats have objected to electoral votes the last three times a Republican has been elected President, Mika B. focused on the 2004 election, in which George W. Bush defeated John Kerry.

Noting that then-Senator Barbara Boxer objected to Bush's electoral votes from Ohio, Mika cited, chapter and verse, statements at the time from fellow Democrats Dick Durbin, Chris Van Hollen, and Ed Markey praising Boxer's move. Mika contrasted that with the statements the same three Democrats have put out in recent days, condemning the current Republican challenges. 

It should also be noted that then Senators Barky Obama and Hillary Clinton also objected to the 2004 election results. But no one remembers them being called "Seditious" or "Treasonous".

Blurry Red Lines and Pork BBQ - A Politically Incorrect Fable

The Right Truth

Once upon a time, eight-year old Sammie Mac struggled with his homework assignment to write a letter to the President of the United States. He couldn't decide what to say until his mom suggested he write what was in his heart.  
 And so he did. - 

 


Dear Mr. President, How are you? 

I am sad because Daddy told me our vacation trip to Washington was not gonna' happen because the White House doors were locked shut. Mommy said it was 'cause the carpets had been cleaned and were wet. Daddy called Mommy Pinocchio nose. She gave him her squinty eye look and said, "No dessert for you Buster." HAHAHA! She forgot his name is Charlie. I asked Daddy when he thought we could go inside our White House. He said the doors would be unlocked on the same day Hel . . . sinki freezes over.

I hope that's soon. Sincerely, your friend, Sammie Mac 

P.S. Daddy made a YouTube video of me reading this letter to share with Gram and Gramps.  

The very next day, Sammie Mac wrote a second letter.

Dear Mr. President, How are you?

I felt kinda icky in my tummy today when my teacher gave me her squinty eye look after she read my letter and told me to write a better one. So, here goes. Did your dog enjoy his vacation at Martha's house? Is BO named after you or your armpit? Daddy said he would like to be BO's dog walker and get paid more than my teacher. He said he'd be happy to pick up BO's poop and wipe his feet so mud wouldn't get tracked on our White House carpets. Are they still wet? I told Daddy I would ask you please to give him the dog walking job. He snort-laughed through his nose. He said Valerie and Mooch-elle were in charge of everything and for sure, they would invite him to be BO's dog walker, on the day Hel . . . sinki freezes over.

I hope that's soon. Sincerely, your friend, Sammie Mac. 

P.S. Daddy made a YouTube video of me reading this letter. 

P.P.S. He sent it to all his friends and so did Gram and Gramps.

The very next day, Sammie Mac wrote a a third letter: 

Keep Reading: He's just getting started..

Let's Enjoy One of the Best of Our Favorite Media Celebs Most Embarrassing Moments, Shall We?

First, the media took a big hit now that the Clinton's "Steele Dossier" has been shown to be beyond any doubt a fraud, and now the New York Times admits Hunter Biden’s laptop isn’t a Russian fairytale meant to frighten misbehaving children. Yesterday, as a extra body blow to the media's soiled reputation,  material from Hunter Biden’s infamous laptop was entered into the Congressional Record, 

NewsBusters have been digging through their dank video archives to find all the smug TV hosts who dismissed the story in 2020 as Russian “disinformation” and they found something we found really special. The words of one of our favorite kickballs, Squinty Joe Sourborough.

We invite you to enjoy this smug asshole's disastrous monologue from the October 19, 2020 edition of "Squinty & Meat Puppet in the Morning" that has "Aged Like A Carton of Milk"!

 

“It is so obviously disinformation...” He said  “History will expose you all as fools.”

Squinty & Meat Puppet and Co. Call AOC Dumb and Dangerous

In my occasional recon of websites and blogs of leftist nut sacks and their media propaganda sources in cable news, this morning I happened to land on NBC News' retarded stepsister, MSNBC, and the infamous 'Morning Joe'. Expecting to hear the normal MSNBC broken record of "Orangeman Bad", I was somewhat shocked to hear them all throw some serious shade at the present darling of the media, the Dems rising star and gift that keeps on giving, Alexandra Ocashew Cortex.

It seems the ridicule of ignorant pontificating from AOC has begun spreading beyond just her colleagues in congress to the friendly media that has until now glowingly amplifies every word she utters publicly.

Squinty started out this mornings extravaganza by criticizing the Congresswoman for her spiking the ball after news that Amazon had pulled plans to build a second headquarters in New York was announced. “New York City wasn’t handing cash to Amazon. It was an incentive program based on job creation producing tax revenue. There isn’t a $3 billion pile of money that can now be spent on subways or education.”

The resident Morning Joe Show bowel movement, Donny Deutsch, warned this woman was " extremely dangerous" and “we are in a dangerous place and if people in the party doesn’t start to speak up against people like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez who is young and dynamic but does not know what she’s talking about, they’re going to hand the presidency back to Donald Trump.”

Then some alleged republican political analyst named Susan Del Percio dropped the most significant diss of AOC of the day saying “What’s shocking to me is once again she shows how little she understands not just basic economics, but even unemployment. She needs to learn basic things about what it is to be a representative.”

Even the lovely Meat Puppet, able to put together her daily coherent thought chimed in "I watch AOC with a lot of hope but I’m cringing, and I would love to give her some advice."

Panic has begun to set in not because AOC is a young and ignorant loose cannon, but because she has let the cat out of the bag and saying exactly what the Dems really have in store for America, but don't want you to know......

We're Trapped in a Junior High Lunch Room of National Politics

MSNBC's Morning with Squinty and Meat Puppet

Since we're living in a world gone mad, I suppose nothing should surprise us. No matter how weird things get, we should probably just shrug our shoulders, say "huh. that happened," and move along. I mean, the last election should have prepared us for how strange things were going to get, right? Nope.

This morning, we woke to find ourselves in a strange new reality where the President of the United States rips a TV host for her bleeding face lift, and she fires back with a "small hands" meme. We're trapped in the Junior high lunch room of national politics, a place where children squawk at each other while the world burns around them.

Sure, Mika's a blithering dolt. No one's arguing otherwise. She's wrong about virtually everything, has no business being the host of an alleged "news" show, and the flood of faux outrage she pours over every single minute issue grew exhausting years ago. But doesn't the leader of the free world have better things to do? 

I get that the media is, rightly, despised, and that they provide a hilarious punching bag, but at some point you have to step away from the keyboard and think about what you're saying. 

Punchline that she is, Mika fired back in predictable fashion...

Yep. A "small hands" joke - which, as you know, is really a reference to a small ...something else. In other words, Mika's decided to go the "I know you are but what am I" route. It's just as childish and probably twice as dumb.

This whole episode illustrates my one and only complaint with Donald Trump: Not using social media to his advantage to forward his policies and agenda.  Everyday reporters in the traditional media expose themselves as biased and fraudulent. You don't arm your enemy, and you don't get in the way of your enemy while they are in the process of committing suicide. 

MSNBC’s Squinty & Meat Puppet's Joe Scarborough Advising Vice President Train Wreck

According to a new book about the Biden administration, New York Times reporters Jonathan Martin and Alex Burns document the general consensus among Democrats that Kamala Harris's tenure as vice president has been, in the words of a former Senate colleague, "a slow-rolling Greek tragedy.

It's just me, but I'm not convinced a failed former Republican congressman & spittle spewing low rated talk show host is the best political adviser I could think of.  

This from WFB:

The authors note that by the end of President Joe Biden's first year in office Harris was "as politically isolated as she had ever been," and "few Democrats had confidence" in her ability to be the party's standard bearer in 2024 or beyond. As a result, Harris has grown "impatient with her own aides," whom she blamed for "letting her down." The VP even "initiated an audit of her office to make it function better." No wonder she has such a hard time retaining staff. 

Martin and Burns write that, in an effort to salvage her political career, "Harris began seeking out advice from beyond her inner circle, taking counsel from longtime veterans of the Washington scene like Rahm Emanuel, the Chicago mayor-turned-ambassador to Japan, and Joe Scarborough, the congressman-turned-MSNBC star." 

The reporting in "This Will Not Pass" makes clear that Biden and his team of advisers were never particularly fond of Harris, whose only highlight from her failed presidential campaign in 2020 was denouncing Biden as a racist during a June 2019 primary debate. When it came time to choose a running mate, the authors write, Harris was "neither the candidate who most greatly impressed Biden's vice-presidential search committee, nor the person his advisors saw as most immediately prepared for the presidency." That assessment hasn't changed much since the election. 

According to Martin and Burns, White House communications director Kate Bedingfield was among those who privately griped that "the vice presidency was not the first time in Harris's political career that she had fallen short. … Her Senate office had been messy and her presidential campaign had been a fiasco." 

"Perhaps, she suggested, the problem was not the vice president's staff."

The angry black woman in Manolo Blahnik shoes act, as well as just being an unqualified and outright unlikeable person might just have a little something to with her being such a train wreck.

Oh The Irony: Squinty & Meat Puppet Criticize One-sided Bias of Media's Kavanaugh Circus

Anyone who has unfortunately spent any time killing brain cells watching the Dynamic Duo of Joe in the Morning should know everything between the intro and exit music is nutty one-sided bias epitomized. With the usual round-table lineup of vicious pinhead leftist making ridiculous allegations, sometime stopping just short of calling for insurrection, it is just a bit ironic to hear these two imply media bias. The wonders never stop.....

Squinty & Meat Puppet: "Every Democrat But Joe Biden is Wasting Our Time"

During a recent MSNBC Morning Joe, Meat Puppet Mika implied that any of the other 21 22 23 Democrats besides current front-runner Joe Biden were just wasting their time. "You have one Democrat with such a resounding lead in the polls, and then so many others trying to get air time." Of course we all know Mika is not very bright. But in this case, she may have had a rare episode of lucidity.

_______________________________________

I have my own doubts Biden would make it through the campaign and debates with DJT without popping a tube. Age has caught up with him.  This is not the same guy who left office 18 months ago.  He hasn't spoken seriously on one issue yet, all he is is bluster, and neither the energy nor the ambition to be president. He has name recognition but that's about it.  He reminds too many people what a fraud the Obama years were. Biden may be ahead for now, but all the energy inside the Democratic Party seems to be with the uncompromising left.  It sees ­Biden standing in the way of its complete takeover of the Democratic Party. So as his lead in the polls expands, their ­efforts to stop him, and his heretical calls for political compromise will ­no doubt escalate quickly.

I think Bernie is toast.  That said, watch the coming months carefully for signs.  Because I think Biden was talked into running, for one reason.  And it's a sham.

The DNC itself has been taken over by non-traditional liberals (i.e. chairman Speedy Perez) who, despite upbeat bullshit talk show appearances, fears they can't win the White House with their anti-white male turgidity, and sounding like the ghosts of Vladimir Lenin.  But dems needs to at this point to woo blacks and millennial who have been told the unfair America owes them free shit.  In a compromise to appease the far left, Biden will sell his soul to the socialist leaning candidates for support to unify the party by choosing someone like the banshee Kamala Harris as a running mate (don't fool yourself, she'd jump on the offer faster than Willie's Willie).  And in the outside chance he was elected the 46th President and get's his own big ass portrait in the WH, serves a year in office and resign for some unnamed health reason.  The Left would then have their first woman, socialist, black radical tyrant voodoo queen president.

The Revolution would begin shortly after.......

This is the Kind of News That Would Drive the MSM Into a Frenzy for 24-48 Hrs During Last Administration.

The Media Now Have Deployed Knee Pads and Blinders

You remember - The media orgasms...the days of endless expert panel discussions by people no one had heard of,  the self-righteous criticism like Scarborough's rants on Squinty & Meat Puppet in the morning, to the constant accusations of racism from Don lemon at night over almost weekly headlines. 

You remember - U.S. District Judge says DJT's executive order "does not appear to serve the overall public interest." or Judge overturns restrictions on travel from seven known hotbeds of terrorism. (because Judge believes DJT's is racist). Or Judge Overturns DJT's denial of funds to illegal sanctuary cities who refuse to comply with Federal Law.  Wall to wall 24/7 manufactured outrage at the least little thing, minute to minute updated coverage for days on end.  But now, they have all gone deaf and dumb.

Case in Point: Judge Blocks Biden Administration From Doling Out Grants Based on Race, Gender.

A federal judge in Texas last week blocked the Biden administration race obsessed SJW appointees from prioritizing grants in a COVID restaurant relief program by race or gender. At issue is the fact the Biden Small Business Administration is prioritizing restaurants that are owned and controlled by women, veterans, and people THEY deem as “socially and economically disadvantaged.” The policy actively excludes entire classes of Americans not mentioned in the “priority” group (White Folks and Asians) who are also suffering significant financial losses caused by the pandemic.

In the plaintiff's suit, Philip Greer, a cafe owner, it is stated:

“The Small Business Administration lurches America dangerously backward, reversing the clock on American progress, and violating our most sacred and revered principles by actively and invidiously discriminating against American citizens solely based upon their race and sex. This is illegal, it is unconstitutional, it is wrong, and it must stop.”

Attorneys for the SBA asserted in a response to the motion for a Restraining Order that Greer lacked standing because he "hadn’t suffered an injury that was traceable to the priority period" and also argued the prioritization adopted, while being "race-conscious," don’t violate the constitutional guarantee of equal protection.

U.S. District Judge Reed O’Connor shot down that unconstitutional shit real quick:

"The context is clear: the evidence that Greer’s restaurant lost nearly $100,000 in gross revenue during the COVID-19 pandemic and [his] attestation that he has prepared an application and is otherwise eligible are sufficient."

America First Legal, which is representing the plaintiff, said in a statement:

"The facts of the case are straightforward: hard-hit American restaurant owners can apply for urgently-needed pandemic relief. But the government puts some owners at the back of the line for access to a limited pool of money based on their race. 

So we are presented with a simple but vital question: can the government reward or punish American citizens based upon the color of their skin or the ancestry of their families? We all know the answer. Racial discrimination, in any form, is legally and morally wrong. It is un-American. It is unconscionable. And it must be stopped."

No national news lede story of court issuing major blow to Biden administration's overt racist initiative .....no droning 20 something experts on CNN opining the unconstitutionality.. ......no raving panel discussions of Biden's bigoted intentions. Just crickets.

Al Sharpton Signals It's Time to Start Cutting The Shakedown Endorsement Checks

As the dem presidential candidate field begins to take shape, everyone still standing is going to have a target on their back no matter how pure they are.  The most Right Reverend Al Sharpton is chiming in on how Mike Bloomberg is not the only person that has some racial baggage in their lilly white closet. When Al starts with this routine you know the shakedown is on and some hefty checks to Sharpton's National Action Network are gonna be written to make amends and ensure Sharpton's fire is pointed in other directions.

Sharpton said on MSNBC’s 'Squinty & Meatpuppet in the Morning' Monday the top Democrats in the 2020 presidential field all have “racial baggage,” urging them not to attack Mini Mike Bloomberg as a way to distract from facing questions about their own records.

"Mika, don’t want to see him as a leaf that the other candidates dump some of their racial baggage. … I want to know what Bernie’s gonna say about the vote he did for the 1994 crime bill, where people went to jail."

As a leaf....???
Now, what Sharpton is doing here is making it clearly known that  Bernie and Joe and the lady from Minnesota all have racial issues and they must ask for forgiveness. From the Reverend Al himself.  FYI, Bloomberg is a longtime cash contributor to Sharpton's National Action Network.  

Al also knows Mike can pay the ransom so he is not worried about Bloomberg coming through with a truck full of cash.  However, those other lily-white Dems running better also be put on notice that Al needs to forgive you if you want to be accepted as truly repented to the black community.

The great American shakedown via the Rev. Al continues and if you are ever running with a ‘D’ after your name and have ever been caught repeating a Dave Chappelle joke, you better be willing to pay up to be seen as righteous once again.

Squinty & Meat Puppet Attempt To Troll The President

Morning Joe‘s Mika and guitar Joe decided to start the week off trying to be cute and were all ready to play a bright and early round of bingo based on Donald Trump‘s tweets. But their stunt fell flat by picking a slow Trump Twitter morning to troll the President. Their "Trump Twitter Bingo" board featuring words, phrases and nicknames that the president often uses in tweets, such as Crooked Hillary, Fake News and Democrats, Collusion, Mueller Probe, Failing New York Times, and the Morning Joe logo itself of course. I wonder if it took them all weekend to come up with this? *snork*

Squinty & Meat Puppet Invite Bartender to Explain Why Joe Manchin and the US Senate are a Bunch of A$$holes

"It’s really about time that we take the kid gloves off and we start using them to govern..."  Sounds like something 46* would say! 🤣

Guess Who Turns Out to be Big Fan of Ilhan Omar?

Over the last six months, they have lavished praise on Ilhan Omar for her antisemitic beliefs, even calling Omar the most important member of Congress. They also praised "The. Most. Important. Member of Congress" after she called Barky Obama a "pretty face" who “got away with murder”.

The former Democrat Party presidential candidate even mocked DJT for supposedly being under the control of "Zionist political controllers":

"You dared to tell the Zionist political controllers you didn't want their money. Now of course, they are crucifying you! How in the hell can you say that Rep. Omar should resign for saying essentially the same thing you said? Man UP!"

They insisted that Rep. Omar "told the truth" in antisemitic comments that were roundly condemned by Trump and other members of Congress. They even proposed the possibility of forming "partial coalitions" with Rep. Omar. 

And the love affair refuses to die. Here’s a tweet from July 17:

"Trump can explicitly defend Jews against the obvious truth Omar speaks about the control & influence of Israel over American politics, but doesn't dare explicitly address her *learned* anti-Whiteness. Why is that?"

Meanwhile, Morning Poop with Squinty Scarborough are talking about how DJT is engaging in “David Duke Racism” against the squad?

It's My Job Is To Make This Presidency Successful

What a difference a decade makes. From the dank archives of the interwebs we present one of the best examples of an open confession of media bias ever recorded. The man with the tingle up his leg appears on an early addition of Morning Joe, long before lovebirds Squinty & Meat Puppet were swapping spit and bumping nasties off air.

From a discussion of the Obama Administration's transition confusion and disorganization, something we were told was unique to Trump and a sign of a disastrous Presidency to come,  MSNBC's Chris Matthews admits to what in short order was to become the M O of a sycophant media complex who dare not criticize 'Their Man'.

Media Already Beginning to Push Excuses For Dems Potential Losses in '22 & '24 With Kooky Conspiracy Theories

Anyone with the intestinal fortitude to endure an early morning trip around the TV dial knows the mostly female former weather girls and failed actors pretending to be pseudo-journalist of the early morning shows for the most part set the news cycle for the day. Between cute cat videos and interviewing authors no one has heard of,  since the age of anti-Trump always wander off the rails into territory of which the don't belong. National Politics.

But it's now their job to help keep eyes off the stumbling inept Biden administration that increasingly resemble a grievance infused adolescent student council from a school for troubled youth in a runaway car speeding down hill.  Over on cable news, this is the all day norm.

None have produced so much conspiracy nonsense with so little available IQ then the confused mouth breathers at MSNBC.

This being the month of June means the 18 month run-up to the midterms have official begun. And this cycle, with the dems in justified fear of America waking up and their party getting their clock cleaned November 2022, will be pulling out all the stops. This mornings Squinty & Meat Puppy Show is the type of BS we all can expect here on out: Conspiracy. Conspiracy Everywhere!

Mika kicked things off by reading at length from a column by Yale professor Timothy Snyder, wherein he spun his conspiracy theory.

 

According to NewsBusters: Snyder is the same guy who in 2017 predicted that Trump would stage the equivalent of the Nazi Reichstag fire by declaring a state of emergency and taking full control of the government. That of course never happened, but Snyder's poor powers of prognostication didn't deter the Morning Joe crew from buying into his latest scaremongering theory.

In his column, Snyder foresees nothing short of "the collapse of the United States." He says he wrote his column upon awakening from a nightmare in which he was visiting the Empire State Building when a plane crashed into it. He knew the building was going to collapse, but people wouldn't listen to him and instead just go about their business.

Y'all Get A Grip. Joe Is Just A Hands-On Kind Of Guy

Okay, y'all take deep breath and have a coke and a snickers bar or something. The Joe Biden bashing lately has been gettin' outta hand. You people do know doctors have cracked open Joe's head twice, and there is a rumor his hair plugs were planted way too deep. We're lucky he even remembers to put on his pants everyday. Besides, Joe is 76 years old people. There is this thing called elderly abuse, ya know? Even the lovely Mika, from 'Squinty & Meat Puppet in the Morning', and the Cackling Hens of 'The View' agree that Joe is "Just a Hands-On Type Guy".

I'll tell you who don't know this, I've worked for years now with many old Jazz and Blues musicians Joe's age or older, and if they aren't trying to give me a lil' peck on the cheek or trying to grab my ass once and a while, I'd think one of two things. 1) they aren't feeling well or  2) they're mad at me. Either way, not good.

But what has shocked me to the bone, that even after being so hands off and respectful for eight whole years to our first Gay Black President, Barky Obama and his elegant First Lady Mike, that we on the right are being accused of photoshopping fakes images and making fun of Joe Biden for being the creepy MoFo we all know he is.! I'm shocked! And disappointed. And according to the Daily Caller, Biden’s team is now pushed back on allegations of sexual misconduct on Monday by blaming “right wing trolls” for circulating out-of-context photographs.

“These smears and forgeries have existed in the dark recesses of the internet for a while. And to this day, right wing trolls and others continue to exploit them.”

So, "the dark recesses of the internet"are we now?  These people have no shame. But as I say now, and will continue to say, y'all go easy on Joe. We all need to show him the same respect we did as we when he was our beloved Vice President.

Another Heaping Bowl of Stupid

Anand Giridharadas

I ask, who are all these children, those of prized first generation immigrants who came here as professionals and have done well while adding much to the American experience?? Children raised with all the privilege and opportunity America has to offer, like the best schools and universities. And once on their own, see everything that was earned and given and laid at their feet, what made them who and what they are, now must be changed because of who created it all.

One such soft skull is Anand Giridharadas, son of East Indian heritage, former columnist for the NYT, schooled in privilege at Sidwell Friends School, University of Michigan & Harvard, who now (because he's more smarter and wrote a book) is one of the media's go-to oracles on what's wrong with America, Americans, and in-particular, people who don't look like him.

Giridharadas latest ignorant proclamation is he believes "freedom-obsessed Americans" are blinded to threats like virus or climate change. In his own words speaking on MSNBC's 'Morning's with Squinty' of the present Corona Virus outbreak:

“One of the fundamental questions to me is, what’s going to be our relationship to government, the idea of government after this?  There’s a primordial American tradition going back to the founders of being freedom-obsessed, even though we’re a country founded on slavery and genocide, being freedom-obsessed to the point that we’re always so afraid of the government coming for us that we’re blind to other types of threats, whether it’s a virus, whether it’s bank malfeasance, climate change, what have you. 

There’s also a more recent, kind of 40-year version of this, which is the Reagan war on government, government is the problem, right? That’s not just an idea on the right. There’s a hard version on the right, there’s a small-c ‘conservative’ kind of militant version of it, but it has also infected many people on the left in this passive sense, like ‘I believe in government,’ but ‘I would never go work there,’ or ‘I believe in government but, you know, I kind of like don’t like my taxes too high, or I use trusts in the Cayman Islands..." 

And then there is the more recent Trump-era twist in this which is the war on government becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy, you undermine government, you undermine it, you undermine it, you put someone who can barely read a sentence in government, in the figure of Donald Trump, and it becomes true that government sucks because you made it suck by telling everybody it sucks. 

And I think the most important thing that could come out of this is realizing the government is not the biggest threat to our liberty. What government fundamentally does is protect us from a lot of those other oppressions that we in America are often quite blind to."

Giridharadas then was unceremoniously slammed to the pavement on the Tweeter machine for his take and “utter contempt” of Americans.  Here is but a sample:

OMG “obsession with freedoms”
When will he be moving to Cuba?

— VeronicaCorningstone (@andreaUSA7373) May 6, 2020

Obviously this guy loves the sound of his own voice and thinks whatever he has to say is brilliant. 🙄

Oh he does. He just has utter contempt for them akin to the contempt that Soviet apparatchiks has for us.

— Rafael G. Nendel-Flores (@rnendelflores) May 6, 2020

Joseph Stalin approves of this message....

— Rich Jones (@rjones138) May 6, 2020

With lock downs imposed across the country in recent weeks as governments attempted to control citizens to stem the spread of the virus, many would probably not be quick to agree that the frequent cases of overreach are just the government trying to “protect” people.

No One is Watching Except Bored Emotional Support Animals In Airport Lounges

It must be tough driving to work knowing not one show on your entire network can beat the morning crap-fest 'Squinty & Meat Puppet' in the ratings. (Lookin' at you prime time Fredo)

Yet CNN is still trying to pretend they're a "news" channel, but their efforts at red meat shitheadery (Cuomo, Lemon, etc.) ring false somehow. It's just a pale cargo-cult simulacrum of the eight-headed shouty-fest that the other two networks have perfected. The wall-to-wall bash Trump sugar high is wearing off. And to think, the guy that has presided over CNN's race to become a laughing stock, Jeff Zucker, was promoted to Chairman of one of Warner's new media companies in addition to CNN. I guess picking on CNN is starting to feel like kicking a puppy for peeing on the floor......

It's Their Unholy Alliance That Endangers the Republic.

The events of the past couple of weeks have given pause to many, and in some circles say the present swing of the pendulum's direction has used all it's energy. But even with the embarrassing, epic incompetence we are witnessing in DC, and the current upheaval in the war for the culture, some things will remain constant. 

The Democrats are torn between far left totalitarian instincts on one side and the Liberals' complete political malpractice on the other. Their seething contempt for the conservation of anything valuable and rational in governing remains whole, complete and total. It is psychologically and professionally impossible for anybody on the left to admit the simple truth that the Right has been right about the Left all along because it would mean being forced to eat the seething contempt for all things conservative that has been wired so deeply into their identities for so long.

The result of this crippling and impenetrable psychological block is that is remains imperative to the left sense of self that the right (that'd be you and me) continue to be caricatured as fucking awful humans. 

Everybody knows that the democrat party has been a shitpile of closeted bigots and imbeciles for decades. They sometime do not try very hard to hide it.  Others will contend that because they live in distant and violent land the natives call Blue States, that despite their self proclaimed superior political expertise, the Left are destructive, clueless mopes whose fecklessness may yet topple the republic as we know it.  So it should come as no surprise that the mainstream media has found a comfy chair for every race-baiter or Never Trumper with a book to sell or grift to flog. (lookin' at you Squinty & Meat Puppet)

The American media will never get better. It will just keep getting worse. But why, Diogenes', you ask? Why is it so bad everywhere, from the national media to your local, dying newspaper? How is it that this vast, shambolic, humiliating, and very public failure of our Fourth Estate, a failure that is dragging out democracy down with it,  just goes on and on getting worse and worse?

Simple. Because there are no equally powerful countervailing institutions out there in the world in charge of pushing back against it or in any way holding it accountable. Instead of operating as a vital civic institution the media is basically Facebook's older, stupider cousin, without Facebook's malevolent, precision-guided algorithms designed to prolong "engagement" and keep your eyes on its ads, but with the same "Sponsors Uber Alles" ethos informing every decision.

And the reason nothing can stop it is because, other than catching the occasional fine for saying "fuck" on broadcast teevee, there are no consequences for pumping the public's skulls full of toxic garbage. As for the gory details of how and why the media is everywhere top-heavy with leftist hacks and mopes and frauds, no insider with deep knowledge of the hows and the whys is every going to rat them out. 

There will never be a Joe Valachi of the media, exposing how the business really works to the entire country. Forget the "respectable" press. They're as relentlessly profit-driven as everyone else, and to them those tens of millions of deranged bigots and imbeciles on the Left (and their friends an relatives) are just current or potential customers.  No matter how many buildings the fascist Teefa Soy Boyz burn down, the "respectable" press will always leaven that news with their certainty that some conservative somewhere, real or not, has probably (or will probably) do something just as bad.
