How dare the cowardly media members show up to honor the biggest threat to free speech this country has ever experienced? If they have any courage at all, boycott the fucking thing!

It will be full of so much ass-kissing it will be reminiscent of a disgusting orgy of mutants who need to have their lips surgically removed from the giant anus in the White House at the end of it all. I might have to watch today’s live on rewind. Sitting at the VA and forgot my headphones. 😞

This preposterous event should be more accurately renamed "A White Racist House Celebration of Trump Shared Psychosis and Orwellian Doublethink Dinner" or "The Whitewash House Non-Correspondence with Objective Reality Dinner."

This will be a total waste of time. Trump will say fake news, Biden’s fault, the election was rigged, I solved 8-10 wars, etc etc. Give me a recap on Sunday morning and move on to important stuff. We just keep giving him time to continue to stomp on the constitution and it has to stop

It dumbfounds me how easy it was for another pillar of democracy to fall. All it took was for corrupt billionaires to buy media outlets for their 30 pieces of silver disguised in tax breaks. I am disgusted and appalled that a once independent CBS, media has decided to forego the trust of the people so that can spread the propaganda of this corrupt administration.

The fact that there are not banner headlines in mainstream media condemning Trump for multiple violations of the Constititution, domestic law, international law, and various insane posts on "Truth Social," is proof-positive that most mainstream media and journalists are in his pocket, only stepping out to kiss his ass.

It's why we're all here on this substack Anthony.

Toasting Trump will be equivalent to asking the firing squad to reload another round.

So billionaire Cloobeck is disappointed in his boy Swalwell? How sad! He's so embarrassed that he's even switching parties and becoming a libertarian Republican!

So, for him political philosophies don't matter at all. What matters, I guess, is having a (personal) representative who will serve his own financial interests. And these days that's the power-grubbing GOP.

Cloobeck says he's clueless when it comes to Swalwell. Hard to believe. I'm a long-time California resident and I've never heard of Cloobeck, who I think said in the clip-above that he ran for governor. Cloobeck I think made his fortune selling time-shares, not an up-and-up business. And he's now a libertarian Republican, you mean like Ron and Rand Paul?

Stephen Cloobeck...this guy is an ahole too....he talks about this stuff isn't where our tax dollars should be going....this fu*ker doesn't pay taxes....go and join the republican or Libertarian party you twat....

.....and as for the media...anyone that shows their face at this dinner is a disgrace and is complicit with everything tRUMP says and does....

I hope this gets no media coverage. Maybe it will on CBS because they are putting on this travesty. As for the former Swalwell supporter, I'm disappointed in him jumping ship to the rethugs. One guy caused him to do that. He could at least stay in the party and help us out in California. We don't need that Brit ex-pat Hilton, nor awful Chad.

Oh Lord, After Dean being away for a week, who knows what treats await us when you two get together this morning? (Just kidding.). See you later.

The lies fly around the world while the press has taken off its pants and taken to its deathbed.

I hope that the only members of the media who will be raising glasses are those who went to the event because they hoped that Trump would exclude them from the Nazi's "Die Luegen Presse" ("The Lying Press). They really shouldn't bother, because if any of them ever says anything out-of-line for the Trumper, even once, they will be included anyway, no matter how many glasses they raised.

Ex Swalwell campaign donor had me until he said he is no longer a Democrat. He is a Libertarian Republican, then claims to value the truth.

National Security Is Cheeto’s Cheap Answer

Have you noticed that every time Cheeto makes a statement about some foreign policy or decision he does it by making it about national security?

As Cheeto recently said, β€œWe(Nazi Republicans) needed to go to war with Iran because they had a nuclear bomb(remember when Cheeto said his megabomb β€œobliterated” Iranian nuclear capability) and they were ready to bomb the USA” Since that time he has consistently said that he had to attack Iran because of the nuclear bomb capability and that high gas prices are worth it because we prevented Iran from getting a nuclear bomb

Of course the whole mass deportation policy is built around national security The worst among us are a national security threat so therefore deport all immigrants makes little sense but overall the central theme is how can Cheeto make the country safe

Even Cheeto’s desire to expand the country’s fingerprint in the Western hemisphere by wanting to take over Greenland, decapitating Venezuela leadership by kidnapping Maduro, considering invading Cuba This is all done for β€œnational security”

Now of course because of the war expenses for national security Cheeto says it’s not possible for the Federal government to fund Medicare and Medicaid(https://bit.ly/4sBjKdv)

Dog and pony show without the noble animals. The media whores can just ride around on each other, barking like a chorus of Child of the Earth sentries. I worked in real journalism for 8 years. Then I went into technical writing and editing and then corporate flack work, or should I say editorial humiliation. Essentially, I was almost constantly asked to lie about something to make something else look good. It's called transference, and brother does it work. Until, of course, it does not. for 60 years corporate flacks hid the info that FF off gases were heating up the planet via the greenhouse efffect. Or that smoking tobacco with 125+ toxins in it would rot out your lungs. The wrom always turns, and, like politics, the vast majority of the public also no longer trusts journalism MSM. Truth and power are anathema, just like capitalism and democracy. Round pegs in square holes. Next betrayal,. please. . .
