Media craziness over Trump

Reporting and explaining are two different things, but the distinction is lost on a vast majority of cable news producers who insist on discussing motive over outcome — even after 10 years of clear evidence bearing witness to the cause and effect dynamic of Trump’s work. Instead of reporting on the intellectual incoherence and wild contradictions that are completely unmoored from reality, most of the media covers the insanity with a sense of wonderment and confusion about what Trump really stands for. What seems lost on most of them is that Trump stands for the proposition that what he says is true and what he believes is truth, and anyone who stands opposed to him is either sick, dumb or criminal. He is a fascist, and when a leader can command his followers to believe the truth is what he says it is then there is a problem of immense proportions at hand.

The race ahead will be close. Four years ago, it was decided by 44,000 votes across three states. The debate ahead will have monumental consequences politically. It is a test Vice President Harris must face and pass as surely as the Greek heroes of antiquity were remembered as having done. She will need to hold America’s domestic enemy to account for his treacheries against the American way of life, as well as his faithlessness towards the constitutional oath that he desecrated as surely as he did the grave sites and peace of America’s war dead on our nation’s most hallowed ground.

Trump is a dangerous man who has become more and more unhinged over the last month. The failure to report on the plain facts of his unraveling in favor of explicating them and allowing for the possibility of plausible and good faith changes isn’t just an absurdity, but an obscenity because it assaults reality as much as anything that had ever come out of the mouth of the MAGA kingpin and blowhard.

Donald Trump has manipulated America’s media for nearly 10 years. Many are terrified of him and losing access to him. This explains why the name of the Trump campaign scumbag who assaulted the Arlington National Cemetery employee hasn’t been reported by the national media who know exactly who it is. This is shameful and cowardly, and just as despicable as the moral capitulations made to Trumpism and MAGA by Republican leaders.

The summer of Kamala Harris has been a brilliant one. It is over now. A great fight lies ahead, and the future of our country will be at stake.

There have never been two men who are weirder, more flawed, and more unfit seeking political power in America than the adjudicated rapist Donald Trump and his preposterous running mate the “hillbilly Handmaid’s Tale commander,” who wants a front row view for every gynecological exam, confessional encounter and private decision in the life of every American women.

Freedom is at stake in 2024. There is no longer any need to pretend what Trump is and isn’t.

Donald Trump is a fascist and a buffoon. Both can exist together.

Donald Trump is an adjucated rapist and a criminal. He is a fraud and a conman. He is a vicious clown and an unrepentant racist. It all fits together.

Donald Trump is a liar and a thug. He is an insurrectionist and a president. It all exists together.

The only thing that doesn’t fit is all the psychobabble by cable news hosts explaining there is no up or down. There is only the moment, and whatever Trump says in it, is what Trump really believes, despite doing the exact opposite four years ago.

Ludicrous doesn’t begin to describe it, and for once, I’m not talking about Trump.

Here at The Warning, we have zero tolerance for this kind of drivel.
